K after much discussion and pitboss not working we're playing a PBEM.

4 players but can stretch to 5, dont really want 6 because then chances that someone would drop out would increase.

All random civs unless you really REALLY want another civ.

Players
BCLG100
Robboo
robi_d
Kuningas


Small Pangea maybe plains not sure, everything else Random, everything except conquest turned off.

obvious rules-
no tech trading till alphabet
no talking to someone till you've met them
no map trading till paper

Ill be posting a spoiler here and maybe cdz for those interested.

BC...here is my address...

I had to get another one because the primary accoutn is for my business.

robbeauxATgmailDOTcom

( still robboo just Cajun-ized) :)

Ok i sent you a tester, hopefully it should get there

got it..replied back..

We need more victims...err I mean people.

Chickens......afraid of me, I understand that, but BCLG is a push over. He explores with unprotected settlers.

Comeone get in the game people. Dont make us have to go get Loco or Pifffle people.

well id play a one on one :P but would prefer a couple more people.

i only explored with that settler because i didnt notice it was there ive founded my city now (after it was running away from the barb)

I have
Coolville
Aloha
Shagpad already up and running! :D

i'm happy to join in :D

You have four. I'm in.

One more...any one ...George? Mr.C. ?

4 is a good number, means cant have any unfair alliances.

Kuningas

thats the play order, Kuningas my e-mail is BCLG100 AT hotmail DOT com, can everyone either post their e-mail in this thread or send them to whoever is meant to be recieving them :)

im going to go off and create it now, hopefully it should work :)

Lets us know when you send it..watn a turn tracker in this thread....?

I will post a spoiler if you guys promise not to look. That way all the others can give me advice and laugh at my woefully inadequate Civ abilities.

well its just not cricket if we look..

someone got a Brit to American dictionary? ;)


Game recieved and turned played...Great a civ I havent played. But one that I like:)
RobiD..I need the email where you want this sent to..

im sure he wont mind i pass it on to you, ill send you a PM, just make sure he knows what it is in the e-mail :)

who is everyone i forgot to check, im hattie.

my email:

lkuningas "at" yahoo.co.uk

I sent it..

I am persia... I hate immortals..guess I better get used to using them.

So what the heck did you mean by the cricket comment. AND do we have any other rules...besides common sense thing like no tech trade till alphabet or map trade till paper. Turn timer?--I will be gone in about a month for a week so just keep that in mind. In case you havent figured it out..this is my first PBEM.

unless you get someone to take over your turns we might have to wait.

oh the cricket comment- basically its just pointless playing the game if someone cheats.

Gotcha...and agree. :)

I will start my spoiler shot tonight.. I will( try) get someone to play my turns.

when starting spoiler use ****SPOILER****-robboos game or summit, dont want to accidently walk into it.

yep i know...:) I am not that noob. Well maybe i am. thanks

yep i know...:) I am not that noob. Well maybe i am. thanks


well just making sure, i didnt think id have to remind ybbor to patch but... :mischief:

Turn 1 recieved, played and sent to kuningas.

I've got Mao so its a new one for me and the funniest starting position i have ever seen

Talk about a world wide game. We have a Brit, a American, an Aussie and a Fin.

Based on our locations and turn order I dont figure more than a turn a day.

Here is a teaser of my staring location. Your all welcome to have a look and a laugh:lol:

You can call me the Milkman:D

GPS to BCLG100.

I've got Victoria, she's nice never played with her before.

Here is a teaser of my staring location. Your all welcome to have a look and a laugh:lol:

You can call me the Milkman:D
To bad on that start...your city will smell like a farm.:p

Watch that is all you have is cows, no bronze, no horses... Too funny. I can only imagine the your reaction.

I'll have to wait and see on the horses and bronze until i get the technologies.
My reaction was "What the ???".
Well at least i have one resource to trade to all of you;)

Trades..ha we dont need no stinking trades...( I think I have cows already)

from what i remember i dont hav that much of an awesome start but itll do, never played as egypt before either but the no anarchy and 2 culutral growth seems nice.

Sent to robboo, nope dont have an especially brilliant start.

game sent to cow-boy....;)

Turn 2 sent to Kuningas

man my starts sucks now that I think about it...

GPS to BCLG100

I lead by 6 points ;)

Popped tech from a hut.

well if you want to even things up a bit by disbanding your scout/warrior then we wont mind :p

Turn 3 sent to Kuningas

GPS to BCLG100

just playing and sending on now :)

sent to Robi D...

Lets shoot for 2 turns today...

well robi's in the land of Oz so who knows if he can play before the end of the day

The end of whose day? That very subjective you know:)
Turn sent to 1st placed Kuningas.

Turn 4 sent to BCGL100

and so the turn thing continues,

are we going to be updating this every time we send a turn?

I don't know, should we?
Save sent to kuningas

well I keep forgeting..duhp...

i dont mind its basically pc+1 everytime.

if someone hasnt recieved the save for a couple of days post here.

just waiting on Kuningas.

we could just keep the banter in here- for instance my war chariots are going to slay you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this a great plains map BCLG?

Errr yes i think it is. why?

GPS ------ +xcl

Errr yes i think it is. why?

Just ran into the edge of the map and wanted to make sure it was the map and not my computer:)

Just ran into the edge of the map and wanted to make sure it was the map and not my computer:)


lol, yer its plains, also explains your milkshake farm you've got :)

i dont have one cow near me :(

just playing the save now and sending it on :)

Also is there a chance all of us could get online at the same time one time so we can get through 10-20 of these turns so the game can get moving a bit faster?

We could try but I doubt it will happen..

OK I will post my approximate times avaiable...
630am CDT to 11pmCDT
I think thats 1230 pm GMT to 5am GMT

Also I will be out of town from May 11 to May 16....nothing fun either I am driving 20 hours( one way) with a 4 year old and a 2 year old to my mother inlaws.

I will try to find someone to play for me...basically they will be pressing enter...

Well I'm available for the next 2 hours from this post. Even a few turns would be good:)

Edit - GPS to kuningas

Well i can be playing about anytime except during the day GMT time, so after about 5GMT.

The weekends i can play pretty much anytime.

Well I'm available for the next 2 hours from this post. Even a few turns would be good:)

as am I, what about you Kuningas and robboo?

here...waiting

robi dont suppose you know kuningas any better from your nutters team and whether to contact him or not?

robi dont suppose you know kuningas any better from your nutters team and whether to contact him or not?

Only email and pm, if he logs in he see.

Well we could let him log in and then set up a time for another day. He might actually have a life and not spend every waking moment on here

Like I said...I am fairly free every day...to play computer games adn goof off. If you like this sort of life..marry a doctor(PhD not MD ) and stay home with the kids. Changing diapers and slopping food at them isnt that bad

well ill keep that in mind for a future career path :)

Do it before you waste 10 years in collegel getting a Bachelors and then a Masters of Science that you wont probably use...

/Marine biology and the nearest seawater is over 300 miles away. :)

Well my work is a bit all over the place with the hours, so it can be difficult to plan a time to far in advance (maybe a day or 2) but there is usually a couple days a week i can stay up a bit later (it 1am here now)

well im thinking weekend is maybe the best time for this then, maybe saturday night GMT, thats morning sunday with you robi and afternoon with you robboo?

me and kuningas would be about 11pm

midafternoon sundays are OK...if it gets passed 5pm I am busy. ( part time job as a youth director....scarey I am shaping the minds of kids)


go to bed Robi :)

well i dont really want to be up late sunday night, so what about saturday afternoons?

Saturday afternoons are good.. I have a few busy ones coming up in the next few weeks but an hour or so might be do-able.

Well we could let him log in and then set up a time for another day. He might actually have a life and not spend every waking moment on here.

I don't have a life. I can play any time unless I'm out of the town.

GPS

so hows this saturday (sunday morning for robi), is that ok for everyone?

not good for me..I am jugding a food contest

well 10 my time would be about 5 i think your time what time does your thing finish?

let me check with my wife...she set this up. I can let you guys know tomorrow.

so hows this saturday (sunday morning for robi), is that ok for everyone?

I know for sure in the next couple of days.

I am out on this weekend....we judge the contest then have a big party after.

I am currently trying to find somene to play my turns from May 11 to May16th since I will be visiting my inlaws.( someone shoot me please). I dont want you guys to have to wait a week to play. IF anyone here not playing wants to volunteer let me know. I am also looking for someone to play my pitboss mega game.

well im going to try and play the save soon

well hurry up why dont you...Got a another hut to pop..

popped a tech just now:)

dont think ive even seen a hut to pop!

And sent and ive found a hut!!!!

I popped a hut when i settled my city, just didn't get a tech for it.
Save sent to Kuningas

cough cough..save???

gotten - played - sent. At least i think so :hmm:

GPS to BCLG100

doesnt really matter, just whenever Kuningas posts it assume ive got the save :D

ill play as soon as possible.

cool another hut to pop..man its been hut filled map..

Need another tech, need another tech, need another tech...

my hut contained gold, not very exciting.

BC...you sent me teh wrong save. That was teh save sent to you..Unles syou give me your password I cant play it. :)

You also sent me a save for a game with Darkness and grahamain.

Rough night?

lol well im gonna find out before you :p

yeah but then I will start my secret plan of spark spitting workers like Tubby That whole thing of sPitting sparks sounds cool.

I honestly expect to be dead before I return from my trip( may 16th). I did find someone to play for me who is a much more highly repected player. Just dont tell him that.( Whomper)

ybbor..you interested?

ill play in the pitboss for you....

NO...send me the save... ..I got to go soon. :)

well i dont have the save so i cant

ah my bad..misread.. I wil have to play it tomorrow..gone all night.

Robi sent the wrong save. I would have played it several hours ago.

Sorry guys:blush:
Correct save has been sent

poop happens....no worries

was wonderin what was going on :D

GPS

Are we doing the Marathon?

played and sending the save on now

And its back to kuningas

NO I screwed up having the marathon session..Lets let BC get passed exams and me passed visiting my inlaws..(God help me).

IF we cant get togeteher before June...My june is wide open now. I just quit a small part time job on Sunday nights ...when will people learn not to tick me off. :)

another GPS

well i just have the odd exams now, they start in bulk in june, so if were going to do a group session it might be better to do it before that.

ok ..lets look at the dates again. This weekend is OUT for me.. I have a player to play for me but not a marathon session.

How about teh weekend of May 19,20 ,21.

errrr
well i think i have an exam on the 23rd and am working on the 20th so could maybe do evening GMT on the 20th.

Ok i will write that down and see what happens. Robi and kuningus?

i will have to get back to you on that one robboo, but its likely i can.
Also GPS

gps...last turn I play will be tomorrow if i get it before bed time then its Whomp who will be playing. Just keep sending it to my address and he will get it forwarded to him since that is my PBEM addy.
I will be back on May 16th back in action here on May 17th

have fun! if whomp doesnt remember me and robi will bug him ;)

did you find anyone for the pitboss game?

nope not yet..got one more person to ask...if I dont find anyone I am sure one of you will attack me and end my game anyway.

have fun on your trip robboo
turn sent to kuningas

sent along.

I willplay today and then its whomper..hopefully he doesnt screw up to bad..:)

might get tubby to play my turns and see how quickly the game ends ;) ill play and send along now

GPS to Kuningas

Whomp should be set..I will try to check tomorrow to make sure he did get it....

hey...yall having any problems with Whomp?

well i havnt seen a save in a couple of days so he hasnt had to do much :)

Sent to BCLG100

my apologies for the delay

no problem...i was just making sure whomp wasnt screwing it up.

ill play it in a bit then send it on :)

i got it from whomp, so its on to kuningas again.

Btw can anyone tell me why my mini map is all blacked out even though i've explored?

Btw can anyone tell me why my mini map is all blacked out even though i've explored?


i'm not sure, mines showing up. Is anyone else having this problem?

hmmm...I think my was working. I will check when I return. You might post it over in nerd land( tech support) and see what they tell you.

GPS to BCLG100

I am back...Whomp wont be playing any more.:)

kuningas you sent me the same save twice, 3400bc, not sure if that was intentional....

welcome back robboo, you no longer have a civ ;)

Also if anyone is interested in another PBEM i need a partner for a 2 vs 2 locked alliance game im playing vs romeothemonk and someone else, get back to me as soon as you can :)

I am in if you want me BC...

I am alwasy looking for another game to build my reputation. I asume this is over at CDZ...I might join.

Aslo...who has the save currently. I have 3400 is that what I should play and pass it on. OR has that already been played?

i have not gotten that save from Whomp, so you can play it

OK I will right after I play our demogame save.

Well i just got something i've never seen before, i walked into a village and my unit got 7 experience points. Maybe thats because i usually use a scout?

Also it seems that my mini map thing is the game having an issue with my graphics card. A lot of the bugs have been fixed but this isn't one of them. It only happens on certain map types and great plains is one of them:cry:

GPS kuningas

Im sorry Robi, is it essential??? we could start again but we are quite far into it now.

Also Robboo yer that'd be good- http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3588

details there, its a 2vs 2 no AI thats about all we have now, we should be thinking about civs, ill start a thread in my forum, so take a look :)

Nah it ok i can live with it, it annoying more than anything plus starting again probably wouldn't solve the problem anyway.

you sure?? should of said something nearer the time we could of changed the map.

wish pitboss would get going again...

GPS Turn 3340BC or something

you sure?? should of said something nearer the time we could of changed the map.

I didn't notice it straight away and its only the minimap that has the problem so its not going to effect me too much, like i said its just annoying.
Anyway that was a quick turn GPS to kuningas

I often forget whether i actually sent the saves, i think i sent the last one :)

yep you did...

well i havnt seen a save in awhile so i sent the one i already had again and it turns out id already sent that one :D

yep you did..again...LOL

/ Glad I have a system for keeping track otherwise BC would have screwed this game up long ago. Joking

GPS. Don't know where I was in last 24 hours.

Kuningas...you drank that much.

My missing day(S) starts this Friday...its my birthday and I am getting old.. 33

Well Happy birthday for friday robboo, i'm so hungover right now but i think i sent the save that kuningas gave me the other day.

ill just go send it again :D robboo whats your system?

keeping the saves in my email folder...and the last 5 in my PBEM folder. :) Easy to tell if a dupilicate, you need to know these things if you are going to make it in uni :p

Thanks for the early birthday wishes.

Well the save is now in kuningas hands.
Btw robboo what is it with your scouts and lions?

My scouts seem to carry lion phermones or something. I think they took the skin of the first lion they killed and now the lions are out for revenge. Besides having what could be classified as the world crappiest start for a game with 4 people, I have had more animal problems than any other previous game.

ive only not met you robi :(

show your face! :)

though i also have only seen animals around robboo.

I am thinking of changing my city name to Rob's Zoo...

anyone seen a save for awhile? we've been going fairly slowly recently, slower than the MTDG if thats possible!:eek:

i think kuningas or Robi has it....

well i could send you the save i have again ;)

I sent it to Kuningas, sunday morning my time

I haven't seen the save in 4 days now, anyone know where it is?

I got the save today ( 12 hours ago) I sent it on just now..

Ihad a massive infection/allegic reaction to some wood that i cut down adn was at the doc and my brain isnt workgn quite right. Think poison ivy type reaction..but instead of itching it burns like you just got hit wiht a hot pot...I want to rip my skin off..

The drugs that they gave me makes you wired adn makes it feel liek your skin is crawlign...I dont know whats worse...

late birthday surprise....

I had and early suprise too..I slipped in the shop ( it was dark) busted my knee its still swollen and tight and fell forward into my workbench and bruised my shoulder. I also sprined my finger when i hit teh ground.

Thurdays fell
Friday birthday
Saturday cut tree
Sunday red rash
monday blister appear and burning starts...
Tuesday doc office adn shot in my butt( that hurts also).

Wed can only get better...right??/

looks like we'll have to find a new player on thursday..... ;)

stuff happens like this too me to balance out the good things in my life...like the possiblity of moving back home and working again on Coastal restoration projects( my field of expertise)..

Every time something great occurs i get crapped on by the karma fairy. Get engaged..my mom gets a brain tumor; get married...my wife's grandfather died a few months before...

I could go on...been like that all my friggin life. My favorite was get a partial scholarship to school and get laid off from my summer job in the same day...didnt make enough money that summer and had to work 2 jobs in college that semester and i had to cut down on classes...adn it cost me a year more in school hence more money adn a year experince in work place( missed a dream job too due to not being done)

Not complaining because over all life is good. Pain/misfortune for me is fine..just no pain/misfortune for my kids or wife.

ok i think we should go back to the GPS system of these saves because i havnt seen a save for a few days again and im sure robboo is getting a bit sick of me sending him the same one each time...

nahh not sick of it...just think its funny.

So who has it? last I saw was 3040..

im trying to goad bernie into that PBEM, said he might have an opening soon!

im trying to goad bernie into that PBEM, said he might have an opening soon!

sweet...2v2 or something else???

yup i think 2vs 2. Could make it a side game Aloha vs Piffle.

ahhh ..sounds good..Think Casey will go for it??

couple of weeks or so, whomps on feast mode and tubs has got the wee one.

sweet..I can wait. I am working on a game without you in it.:)

sweet..I can wait. I am working on a game without you in it.:)

:eek: you wouldnt dare! seriously though people wheres the save?

Kuningas must have it...he hasnt been around on pitboss either so he might be out of town.

BC..I have to find another game..your in every one I got going right now.. maybe its time to play George and see once and for all who is better.


You listening George...(after your work situation settles of course.)

Last one i saw was 3080bc and i sent it to kuningas on the 1/6

Kuningas???

3080 BC..??? wait let me check. I mailed 3080 to you on May 31. And then I never mailed the 3040 to you Robi. That is my fault. Sorry Kuningas for saying you had it.

I apologize guys..I played the turn and then for some unknow reason I never mailed it despite mailing about 5 other turns that day. Can I blame my kids??

you could blame your kids but then i did e-mail you it another 3/4 times didnt i :p

My system failed..thats what so depressing.....

My system failed..thats what so depressing.....

That's ok, i forgive you.
Looks like you need a back up system in case the primary one fails:lol:

ohwell game should be back up and running now :)

maybe I should just hury up and kill off BC...that would make me feel better.

maybe I should just hury up and kill off BC...that would make me feel better.

GPS

My apologies for delay.

and were all caught up in the pitboss game.

my computers fine, has been for nearly a week

I sent it along to Kuningas on the 24/7

Yer i just got it from kuningas and will play shortly.

I sent the save along on the 19/8 and haven't seen it since.

Is this what you may call a dead game?

I sent the save to BC on same day.

well i thought i sent the save on also, i'll send what i have on again

BC

just checked...I sent one out on teh 19th. I recieved another email(around the 29th) subject "ALoha PBEM" but it had our head to head PBEM so I figure you were reusing a old email.

ok i just sent the last save i have

ok playing it now....

Been a while since anyone one posted here.

Just wanted to see if BC likes his tactics used against him:mischief:

Oh oh....what happened????
