Should we go ahead and start this game? I'm willing to create it any time. :)

I'm up for it. I think everyone has had plenty of time to sign up for it, but I don't want to be the evil one and tell them tough cookie...lol

Please post or PM your email addresses.

I'll tiebreak then, and get this started.

Names and e-mails will be filled in. Your first turn, enter the password, from that point don't try to change it. I don't know if the admin pw can be used to recover it like you could in a pitboss.

Game created, played, 4000BC sent to Mauer. :D

Should we cancel the game you just started and start fresh with 1.61 now that the patch has been released?

Yeah, great timing there huh?

I was aware of the new patch, but after expecting it 2 weeks ago had given up hope and mentally joined the group that thought Warlords is the patch. :blush:

Perhaps a fresh start on the new patch would be better. I can't proceed with patching without first deciding what to do with the pitboss game, maybe later today.

For reasons which are best not elaborated on, I'm expecting to have to uninstall and reinstall.

I got the save Dave, but should I disregard and wait for a patched one from you?

I think it would be best to just regenerate using the patch. Not like we've lost anything other than a few minutes of game setup time.

Sounds good to me. I'm patched now.

Should we put this on hold then?

Don't despair, I had an unexpected appointment at the time I had planned to regenerate the game. Coming soon to an email near you. :D

New game created on 1.61, played, sent to Mauer. :D

oops, forgot to post here.

Played and sent to Theoden yesterday.

I need Swissempires email to send it on. And everyone elses for diplomacy.

Did you set up the SMTP server on the game? Dave should have put it in the game, and it will go right to SE.

Unfortunately I can't. None of my mail accounts allow for an SMTP server to be used.

I sent a PM to Swissempire, hopefully this game can continue.

Reply from Swissempire, he can't continue. Do you want me to re-roll the game with just 4 players?

I am still interested, let's start a new game. (although I had a really good start in this one)

I'm up for it. Is he still in the MTDG?

Apparently not, nor in the DG either.

I haven't even seen my start, so I'm neutral. ;)

New game created, sent to Mauer. :D

Played and sent! Good luck to all! Especially me :goodjob:

Onwards to Sigma. :) (and this time my start is even better than before :p )

Played and ready to send, but I don't have an email address to send it to. When I brought up the in-game send feature, it wanted to send to Theoden for some reason.

That's me, right?

Save Sent.

Turn 2 played & sent.

Played and sent.

Just a reminder guys, I'm leaving tomorrow morning and won't be back until the 8th. Going to Cancun on vacation and hope you guys don't mind the delay :)

Sent to Sigma.

Sorry for the delay but I've had to play at small "concerts" the last three days and haven't had time to play. It was fun to perform though. :)

Sorry for the delay but I've had to play at small "concerts" the last three days and haven't had time to play. It was fun to perform though. :)

That's cool, what kind of performance?

One of the nights it was a sort of exam in music, where we played a danish song (sort of, as it's not the real exam, and we may to play the song again later if we have to go to the real exam; will be revealed on tuesday).
The other two nights I played with my band; we played at the other music classes performance nights. And we did well playing Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall. :D Our own version/interpretation of it - the one time we played someone came over to our guitarist/singer afterwards and said that she knew the song very well but never thought of it the way we interpreted it. :)

Who has this?

Played and sent to Dave. We're now on turn 3.

Sorry for the delay here as well - I was on a business trip in Phoenix for the past 6 days or so and I forgot to notify everyone. ;)

Played and sent to Mauer.

I'll be on a business trip to Maryland next Monday thru Thursday.

Man I forgot to post here again. I played and sent to Theoden Friday.

Sent to Sigma.

Played and sent to Dave.

I think he's out of town now, so we'll have to wait untill near the end of the week.

He did schedule an offline TC for the 16th... maybe he'll be able to get online or even play while he's gone, but wouldn't be able to hold an online TC. We'll see. ;)

Online TC? I didn't know about that. Wait...that's when we all get on at the same time right?

No, the TC is scheduled offline to ensure someone in the CoC will be allowed to play if they have time. I don't have Civ with me, so can't play till Thursday night.

BTW I sent it to Mauer on 5/19.

:D you posted late too. I sent it to Theoden on.....the 20th?

or 21st, one of the two.

Well I haven't gotten it back yet to Theoden still has it. ;)

I was so sure I had sent it on a long time ago. :crazyeye: Well, this time I'm sure it's sent on to Sigma. :)

Played and sent to Dave.

Turn 6 sent to Dave.

Turn 6 was sent to Mauer.

I will be offline from 6/3 afternoon to 6/5 evening.

On its way to Theoden

Played and sent next turn. :)

sent to Theoden

What happened to this? I haven't received the save in a couple of weeks now.

I haven't received anything in a while.

Mauer, could you resend the last turn you've played? ...Because I probably didn't receive it then.

uh....I don't think I have it anymore. Would it still be in my save directory?

Unless you've deleted it, it should still be in

...\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Saves\pbem\Innovia2\

Or whatever else your folder for the game is named.

Ok, I'll look for it very shortly. I know I don't have it in my email anymore.

Just in case, I replayed my last turn, which sends a new email from within the game. I didn't save email addresses in my address book, so it's not as simple as resending the outgoing save. ;)

Graci Dave :) Sent to Theoden

Sent to Sigma. We're moving again. :)

Now that its moving again, let's try to keep it running. Please post here when you send it. :)

Sent earlier this morning.

Hmm, haven't received anything.

Resent. .

what id are you sending it too? nothing showed up again. :(

I sent it to daveshack.cfc [at] gmail [dot] com

That's the right ID, so I've sent a return email to one of the earlier turns to see if that detects a problem.

Some providers throttle attachments when sending an email, we could be over that limit. Worst case you could do what Strider's doing in the cage match, and just upload saves as attachments. :)
