Can we sticky this please?

I'll start by saying that I have civ4, but it's not working, and until I get a new computer, I won't be able to play any SG's. So if you think you'll still accept me after a week or so, then fine, but feel free to drop me.

Now waiting for patch, not new graphics card, my graphics card actually is under recommended system requirements, just needs a patch fix.

Ok, I'm dropping out of all SG's until I get a new Graphics card. By the time I get it, some will be finished, or very close, and I don't want to jump in suddenly.

Hey everyone, just letting you all know that from December 4th until December 11th my wife and I will be taking a Carnival cruise in the Caribbean. I will not be able to play my turns during that timeframe. There is internet on the ship so I might check up on the games once or twice but nothing more.

Note: Please skip me as of this post and all days up until December 12th. Our returning flight lands around 10:30 pm on the 11th and we are not expecting to get home until 2 or 3 am on the 12th. So anytime from the 12th on I will be able to resume play. Thanks!

:wavey:

Edit: We're back home now and I'm ready to civ!

Sorry guys, but this week has been extremely hectic for me. Have barely been able to keep up with discussions, let alone take part in them. Add to the hectic week is the fact I’ll be gone all weekend long. I’ve leaving Friday (April 7th) and getting back on Sunday (April 9th). Please skip me until than. Absolutely no internet access (I’ll be caving this weekend).

Thanks,
Methos

I need to do an emergency Out of Pocket

Any game that I'm in that wants to upgrade to 1.61 can do so, I'll patch up when I return (hopefully Monday, maybe not until Friday next week)

EDIT: I'm back.

:hmm: ... I can't believe I'm the only person that ever goes Out of Pocket. People should use this thread!

Anyway, I'm out of pocket. I'll have PC access until noon Friday EDT, but after that I'm not even going to be connected until Monday afternoon. So skip me!

EDIT: Trip got cut short. I'm a-back.

I would be out of pocket from 4th to 10th June (SGT = GMT+8). Though I will still have internet access and may be able to play at night, but don't wait for me to post a got-it in all my SG. Whenever the next player can play, simply grab it, unless I have already posted a got it.

EDIT: I'm back.

I will be on an auto-skip period from 9 July (my time, 24 hrs from now) to 22 July. During afore-stated period, I should still have Internet access, so will post a Got-It if I have time to play. However, whenever the next player can play, just grab it ... don't need to wait 24 hrs before skipping me.
Back ... if anyone cares ;)

Well, I'm back. I'm sorry for vanishing without a trace about a year ago (especially since I was on a SGOTM 3 team - sorry pholk, greyfox, scowler and everyone else on the team). I was forcibly stripped of computer and internet access at home and asked to "do something with my life" after I lost a previous job. (I can't blame civ though) :D

I'll see if I can try to join an SG soon.

I can still be on, and active, it's just that some applications don't work, due to lack of space on my computer :lol: i use the computer for my games, and my sister uses it for college, so she has some files on this computer that take up alot of space, (including programs like photoshop, imageready etc.) and now it won't allow me to play civ 4!!!

Me and my sis are saving up for a new computer, and hopefully with a little help from daddy, we can get it this weekend! :)
