Everyone gets a random civ, on a random landmass (chosen by RNG). If you are interested, you have approx. 2 weeks to post in this thread. No limits to how many people can sign up.

What info do you need?

I'm interested, but too many players will get much delay and more chance of dropouts..

GMT+1

Its mainly the early turns im worried about. If we can get though the first 10 without dropouts, it should (hopefully) go smotthly after that.

Herandar GMT -5 Tend to play between 01.00-06.00 GMT.

TruckeeGeek GMT -800 --- I play evenings (local time)

So far 4 players has signed in. I think this is a nice number of players.
Only one week of waiting.. :coffee:

Me I think 5 players is an even nicer number :D

Corossol GMT -5, playing from 23.00 - 04.00 GMT

How about 6? :D

Cloudraine GMT -8, playing 1200 to 1600 GMT.

shawn.kwa (at) gmail (dot) com

Game will be started tomorrow, so pm me a password and civ preferences

I thought it would be all random? :p
I'll PM you my password.

Room for one more?

Qummik is also interested. He will post her soon..
Redman

I can play from 14 to 19 GMT.

I'm on a floating sleep schedule right now, so I'm up whenever(today it's 0800-0200 GMT) but I'm always checking my email so 99% of the time I'll play the turn within 10 hours.

I thought it would be all random? :p

:blush: My mistake. I forgot about that.

I have passwords and email addresses from Corossol, cloudraine and Redman.

I have the email address of qummik, but no password yet.

EDIT: I have received email address and passwrd from xerol.

EDIT OF THE EDIT: qummik has sent me his password

BTW, the latest i will start the game is 11:59pm local time. (It's about 1:35 pm local time)

Game will be started within the next 20 minutes.

ignore this

(this said it was on continents, which may not be true since i have started it using the choice "random")

I've GPS turn 1 to Cloudraine.

I'm Redman, ruler of the mighty Persians. I've settled down and found my capital, Persepolis. From the start I had Cloudraine in sight..
I'm curiious what people he represent..

GPS to Corossol ..

Hi ho neighbour! :D

On to qummik...

I have the worst starting location ever. :cry: Oh well, I might found my capital on turn 3 but I like a challenge :D

On to qummik...Did not get it.

Did not get it.

Aargh! I just saw it was stuck in my Outbox. Sorry about that, it's on it's way now.

I have the worst starting location ever. :cry: Oh well, I might found my capital on turn 3 but I like a challenge :D

You think your location is bad, you should see mine.

I still haven't got the save.

Corossol has sent it to me!
I'll sent it to qummik.
Redman

GPS turn 1, 4000BC.

Rome has been founded.

Played & Sent. And I got an awesome start location ;)

gps, and half of my fears are realised

GPS turn 2 > Cloudraine
Some scouting.

But what are our fears azzaman?

And... on to Corossol ..

GPS turn 2, 3960 BC.

Whoops, I played it this afternoon, but forgot to send it.

GPS turn 3 > Cloudraine

GPS turn 3, 3920 BC.

Sent .

You didnt send me the save.

You didnt send me the save.

Er...crap. Yeah, kinda got carried away with tabbed e-mailing this afternoon and swapped some stuff. A venture capitalist I was doing business with accidentally got the save. No more mixing Civ-time and Work-time for me.

So, where's the save now?

I had it, ive sent it now.

GPS turn 4 > cloudraine

GPS, Turn sent to Corossol

GPS turn 4, 3880BC.

ieved the save, send again?

Crap, I've got a problem. I went away last weekend, and I think I might've left my Civ4 CD at the hotel. It could be a while before I can get it back. So you need to skip my turn, how does that work? It's not like I'm going to lose anything, though, since I've already explored all the land I can get to.

The best way (in terms of keeping everyone with the same information) I am aware of is to have the player before you send the game to an impartial contact (someone not involved in the game) and you providing your password and any instructions to that person to play in your stead.

Exactly: find a temporary replacement or buy a new CIV-cd :D

As we heart nothing for quiet some time, should think of replacing Xerol?

I've started a new thread for the search for replacements, and posted there we need a replacement for Arabia/Xerol.

Redman

If you guys don't find a player by the 19th (that's when I'll be getting back from a cruise I'm going on next week), I'd love to join this game. After all, I'm already in a game with Cor and I'm one of the glorious Russians with Azz, Cloud, and Her in the Realpolitik game!!! :D

Either that, or if you guys are willing to take me in right now I can play until the end of the week and then we put the game on hold until the 19th. All my other games are going to have to be put on hold as it is.

Greetings!

I am responding to Redman's new Replacement Thread - great idea . . .

I have PBEM experience with CIV and Empire Deluxe. My business keeps me online most of the time, so my turns are completed promptly.

Looks like you guys have a good game going. If I can help with Arabia, let me know via PM.

-- Elbridge

I think meranwe (he posted in the replacement thread) is our candidate, because he responded the quickest (although he should've posted here).
I got several other offers, but I don't know if those where for this PBEM (it wasn't mentioned :confused: )

So HitAnyKeY: thanx for the offer, but we've found someone. :goodjob:
Sir_Eldridge: also thanx for your offer. You got another PBEM.. :mischief: :p

I'l sent meranwe a e-mail if there're no problems.

Redman

OK - we'll meet again on another battlefield . . .

-- Elbridge

wow thank you for letting me play :)
waiting for your mail...

Azzaman333, can you find out if Xerol had a password? If so, can you get them?

And qummik can you sent the save to meranwe (adress named in replacement thread)?

Redman

And qummik can you sent the save to meranwe (adress named in replacement thread)?Save sent.

awwh, what is the password for xerol???? :cry: :cry:

I no longer have the PM's with the passwords in them, so i'd advise meranwe to pm Xerol for the password.

I sent a PM, and i also added him on my msn contact list, but havent seen yet... and no answer yet.. :(

I sent a PM, and i also added him on my msn contact list, but havent seen yet... and no answer yet.. :(

In his stats you can see he has been online recently..

"Last Activity: Feb 11, 2006 07:29 AM "

his last activity was 6 hours ago, and he didnt answer my pm, neither on msn... and i cannot send him and email because i dont know his address. Anybody, who knows, could send him an email??
kate


i added him on icq, too. And i tried to send an email to his msn address, but it couldnt be sent because:
"Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable".... :(

Have you tried to sent a email by clicking his profile? There's a option to sent an e-mail..

Yes, and it gave this:
"Sorry! That user has specified that they do not wish to receive emails. If you still wish to send an email to this user, please contact the administrator and they may be able to help."

also on icq, i sent message to him when he was online, but he didnt answer....

Nice! :(
Is it possible to change a password without knowing the previous one?

As far as i know, no.

Good news! Thank to a very nice civfanatics member Gyathaar the game continues, he cleared the password for me. :)

So it's moving again?
Redman

GPS turn 13 > cloudraine

Hey, cloudraine dropped out of all of his other games due to hardware issues. You are probably going to have to find a replacement.

Since I have precedence (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=3476908&postcount=5) on this thread, I will gladly fill in if cloudraine does not continue the game.

Fine by me Herandar! :D
So we meet again. :p
Redman

So we meet again.

For the first time, for the last time. :lol:

If nobody has problems with the replacement, I'll sent you the save tonight.
Redman

No probs. Hi Herander. :wavey::wavey:

Hey azz,

How ya been?

Has the game stopped???

If nobody has problems with the replacement, I'll sent you the save tonight.
Redman

I never got the save from Redman. Hmm, let me check the PM I have here...

My bad! I think I haven't sent it. Will do tonight, ok?

thanks... :)

Dont worry! I'm still here! I rarely touch my Civ 4 CD nowadays though, so expect a bit of a wait when i get the save. I've given up with CIV 4, and am aiming for Civ 3 HoF awards, and GOTM awards. I'll start looking far a replacement soon as well, when my interest is completely drained.

I got the save today. Anybody know cloudraine's password??

I got the save today. Anybody know cloudraine's password??

I dont think so...:(

Is there an admin password?

Is there an admin password?

Maybe, i cant remember... Im useless arent i?:mischief:

Well, since cloudraine doesn't seem to talk to me, I don't know if this game can continue. I will try to ask him via email though.

can we not retire him somehow?

I don't know meranwe.

But if there's no possibility to get this game going again, maybe we can start a new game with the players who are interested?
I would like that.

Redman

ok, i'm in :)

If this starts over I'm not interested. Sorry.

If this starts over I'm not interested. Sorry.

Same here.

Yeah, he hasn't responded. I call this game dead.
