Ok so here it is, I's just gotta get my civ.

Current players are


Me ottomans
Trip carthage
Plexus celts
myzenium greeks
UKsubs Scandinavians
Sultan India

Let me know who you want to be and we'll get this thing rollin

I'd like to be the ottomans in this one if no one objects.

I wanna join and I would like to be:

1) Celts
2) Vikings
3) Japan
4) Carthage

Gotta love those new civs...

Booyaka. :p

China or Carthage for me.

it looks like mauiduck has left the building. so shall we start

EDIT: what kind of game do you all want, accelerated production is a must in PBEM thats all I know for sure.

Standard mode would be okay for me.

Sorry plexus my comp crasehed when i tried to start a PBEM. Maybe you could start it. I think im gonna go to bed anyways my computer kind of got me out of the mood. Lets pick this up tomorow unless you find someone else to play with, looks like trip left. Just send the game to me if you still want to play Nick_r_420@yahoo.com.

All the new civs. :) Well, If I do get PTW tomorrow, I'll be the Vikings. :D

Oh you want at it eh? :p

Bring it. :cool:

Not sure what you guys think but i think that i will get this game started tomorow to let a few more people get singed up. No need to rush after all;)

Works for me. I'm patient. :p

count me in. i'd like to be english or russians

I'm very interested in a play by E-Mail game and would like to be either the Scandinavians or the Koreans.

This game is filling up nicely. Maybe we can get a game with no AI, talk about utopia. Just to let you all know, I am lazy so if you could all post your e-mails and remember who is after you:) My e-mail should be somewhere in this thread.

Hey Chieftess, if you want me to save a spot for you i would be more than happy to do so. Any word on if you are getting it tomorow?

I suggest you limit yourself to 4 humans, makes for a much faster game and less drop-outs. Four allows for those great all-night sessions. Just a suggestion.

I think this might be more of a lllooonnnggg game. Besides with the new patch coming out soon who wants to stay up all night playing PBEM when you can play Turn-Based:)

I'm glad to hear that you think this will be a long game. Anyway, my E-Mail is UKSubs98@aol.com. If you have any questions as to my experience or dependability for a game like this, let me know and I will answer them as best I can.

Looks like you haven't started. Put Sultan Bhargash in as India if you dare!

You should have my email from the Pioneer 'fiasco". If not PM me.

Bring it on:)

Hope you got my PM and I'm in. Im sitting here waiting for the Tiny game to get going again while Joe finsihes his damn fritos!!!

I got it. And i was talking about the e-mail not the elephants, please don't hurt me :beer: we can be friends:)

my email is Enemysoldier88@yahoo.com

Well unless anyone else signs up by tomorow this will probably be it. I still need ahileedo's e-mail. And i will probably send it out early tomorow (today is tomorow i guess) so later today then. Around 12 Central.

Isn't Chieftess playing?

She never said if see got PTW, I'll wait a little longer, however.

I want SOME PLAY NOW!!!!

Is there room for one more?

I'd like to be the Greeks.

I realized that this forum does not make e-mail addresses visible, so I've created a new e-mail address.

EDITED

I want SOME PLAY NOW!!!!

I am getting it set up now.

Is there room for one more?

Sure i'll put you in for ashileedo's spot.(since He/She hasn't shared e-mails yet.

Oh goody! My first Civ 3 MP game is beginning soon. I can't contain myself... *faints*

Turn finished, am sending it to trip now. Just to let you all know i put the settings on small world(no AI:)) and 80% water for early contact. Everything else is on random.

EDIT: forgot that it is also on pangea

Shouldn't you send us all an email with the turn order, civs by player, and player email addresses so we can pass the game around?

Just did. And you can look up who is what civ here on the first post.

I can hardly wait for three more people to take their first turns so I can move a worker and build a city. An odd thrill if I do say so myself.

Sent to Plexus.

Plexus is MIA - I think he still has the Two Headed Giants game and this one now as well...

Can I still sign up as spain or no?

Sorry the game is already started. Although i may start another smaller PBEM tomorow so check back then.

It may be some time until Plexus takes his turn. He's 14. I saw his birthdate on his profile. That probably means he'll be at school on Monday morning.

Yeah, but you'll be doing this everyday until someone wins. That could be 10 months from now. You could brag about this to your friends, saying something like:

"I'm a really patient guy. I'm playing about one turn per day of Civ 3 with 5 opponents. With hundreds of turns in the game, I'll be playing this one game for months!"

I have nothing against 14 year olds, but jeez!

When I was fourteen I used to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night and drink Jack Daniels and literally roll in the street.

Why are so many young people today doing homework and going to bed on time and playing Civ? That's what your thirties are for...

I have to go to school tomorow, although I don't study or anything so i have a lot of free time. hopefully Plexus will get his turn done sone.

Sultan i agree with you, if i wasn't on prbation right now i would probably be rolling on the streets right about now. Or flyin high:)

I'm an almighty comp sci major. :p Class? What class? :eek: :o :D ;)

Plexus better get his ass in gear;). If you are going to sign up for a PBEM you should at the very least get in one turn a day. BTW im not angry at plexus and i mean no offence i am just frustrated that all of my PBEMs have stalled.

Seems like everyone but the Sultan is a student here. BTW, are we zipping the save file or just sending it as an attachment? Something to think about before my first turn.

I don't see a need to zip them unless they get too large much later on.

No need to save. At least not yet. The save games are only 90kb right now.

I dont need a zip.

And I have class at 830 tommorow morning, but I am the teacher. Which means I actually have to go... :(

A teacher! I would never have guessed;) What do you teach, History:rolleyes:

Anthropology. We spend a lot of time talking about the Iroquois, Aztecs, and Zulus...

I'm following this game, and I just noticed this:

:confused: What's so fun about rolling in the street? Its hard, has some glass, scratches...;) :D :lol:

CG

Yeah, actually now that I think of it, everything from rolling in the street onward was pretty unpleasant...:vomit: :vomit:

Well plexus it seems the game has stalled at you. If you don't have time to commit then you should not sign up for PBEMs. If you do not get in at the very least one turn tomorow i will have to kick you out of the game. Remember at least one a game.

If anyone would like to get into afast pace game check out my new PBEM. Only room for 3 players. Once everyone signs up we can set up plating schedules for the next day. Then the next day we'll set up schedules for the next day. Rinse and repeat.

EDIT: We are not even done with the F@#$%%##$ first round!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to sign up but just being involved in three and a half PBEMs is more pressure than I can handle!

Three players does go fast, though, we are on round 22 of TinyHellions!

If Plexus doesn't take his turn before 14:00 Eastern Time, I may not be able to take my turn until Tuesday. I must work from 15:00 to midnight. That isn't a misprint! I often have the night shift. :( :rolleyes:

Game sent, really sorry for the wait, yahoo was being screwy for me yesterday. :(

Passed game to UKSubs.

BTW, Nick, thanks for spelling my name correctly in-game. *sarcasm* :p I'll have to live with it.

It was a great joy to come home to the file. Scandanavia has made their first bold moves and sent the file along to the Sultan.

It's ok Plexus. From now on try to get in one turn a day. Even if you are really busy try to fit it in as 5 other people are waiting on you.

I will return at 7:45 CT so if everyone wants to meet back here that would be fine. Otherwise just get the game to me and I will be more than happy:)

Mailed the game to you nick, I hope that was where it was supposed to go, I am a bit confused now that I have a hand in four games...

it is off to trip.

To Plexus.

Trip, can you re-send? It is acting like a single player game... I can't move on to my turn. I can only play as Carthage.

Plexus if you load from another game that will happen. Try going to the main screen and reloading.

ok, i'll try...

Game sent.

Game passed to UKSubs.

Game is in the Sultan's hands now.

Game is on to Nick. I betcha I am the richest nation now having just sprung 50 gold with my worker!

To trip

To Plexus.

To Myzenium.

Ah, early morning Civ 3 Multiplayer. Can't wait for tomorrow morn.

To UKSubs. (It's the middle of turn 3, you onlookers.)

To the Sultan to end 3900 BC.

Wooooo. Got to move a warrior this turn. Woooooo. Oh yeah sent to trip.

Sorry I misse my "To Nick" post. Im a bit lackadaisical on that kind of thing. I didnt accomplish much this round, though I did have the thrill of playing three different PBEM games in one load of the game...

To Plexus.

Sorry guys. I'm leaving for work now. I can't wait for my turn. If my turn comes today, expect me to take it in the wee hours (Eastern Time) of Friday morning.

To myzenium... sorry, I was in school... (PST)

To UKSubs. Hooray for the new PBEM forum!

In the spirit of the new PBEM lets try to keep the 'to PERSON' messages to a minimum unles the next person fails to notice the game for a day or so. Of corse I can't make you do this, but being the administrator of this game I can play your turn for you :evil: ;)

EDIT: Go ahead and record the happenings of your turn if you like. I could always use a little free information;)

You first... :D

You know, this world is really small. 3850 and I already see someone...though I doubt they can see me yet. Gentlemen, the game has truly begun.

Why? Knowing when your opponents are likely to take their turns seems a good practice to me. If you won't be available when your turn may come, you can notify the other players in a timely manner (as I have been doing). Surely you appreciate my warnings about my unavailability? :(

We are all on to round 5 (thank gudnis).
Not a thing going on in my little corner of the world, tho I will be the master of incense. The game is with Nick 347pm EST Friday.

I will be out for much of the early evening but could get through some rounds later like 10pm or so...

I'm not going to try and make you stop the "to Person" messages. I just thought is was a good idea as people *cough cracker *cough have been complaining about the PBEMs getting too much spam. And of course I agree with you that we should tell each other when we are unavailable to play. If you don't people assume that you don't care anymore and will get angry.

I won't be here for the rest of the night. Oh BTW to trip;)

Game to Nick! Two rounds in a day!
1144pmEST Friday.

India is in a dry part of the world in this game. We've spotted a source of dyes.


Offtopic:
Yeah Nick, the Holy Strength was part of my first successful deck, a red and white deck that combined Dwarven Warriors with Farrell's Zealots and Serra Bureacrats and Icatian Javeleneers, and used firebreathing and holy strength as pump ups - it was a "police station" theme (The Farell's were hero, dwarf=sidekick, javelnerr=rookie, bureacrat=cheif) and had a series of battles against my opponent's Moor Fiend/Orcish Farmer deck. Those were the days.

Sorry to go on so...

Celtic Update(CU) [3800BC]:

We look to be in a lush area of the world, ripe for the picking. We are very close to our nearest neighbor's capital (7 tiles). We control a source of wines and we see more to the Northeast. Our capital city of Entremont has a population of 26,000.

Are we stalled?

UKSubs said:

Are we stalled?

I should think so. I haven't received round 6. If we were doing those "spammy" TO PERSON messages, we would immediately know who is to blame. :)

Yea, I have no idea where my game is...

Okay so not Plexus, not Myzenium, not UKSubs, and not me... who does that leave?

Well, it is either Nick or Trip.

Sorry guys. I had to rid my comp of a virus. The game is now with trip.

Yuck, a virus? I'm gonna have to play with barbies

No crude jokes! Your post was edited as we want to keep this forum clean. Please keep explicit jokes and inuendos off the Multiplayer Forum! You've trolled another user in Civ3Gen, so I am tempted to give you a few days...

(:D @ Sultan) I hope the mods don't read that.

We just did. ;)

hey sultan I missed what you posted, will you email me the original:) I would have caught it earlier, but the email notification is not working. Just finished reading the thread with all the farting bob jokes :lol: @ your puns esp. the last one before the closing of the thread. I think it might have been an omen;)

Yikes, very very very sorry Chieftess. I didnt know that discussion of "preventative measures" fell into the same category with obscenities. I am really shooting myself in the foot all over the place! Please forgive me I will keep all my humor above the waist and below the "rated G" mark from now on.

I still wish the "question from a newbie" thread would be moved humor and reopened. Oh well.

Game to Nick, moving into round 7. I am getting the feeling I may be isolated on an island...

Embarassing, a whole round back to me, with no comment from anyone else? Well the game is circulating again with Nick... I had the joy of having 3 PBEMs waiting in my mailbox this afternoon.

Maybe we should rename this game the "Going thru the Motions" PBEM???

Im the only one posting about this game? Bad habit I guess. Trip, our warrior is southwest of your city if you want to make contact this round. Round 9 on to Nick

Sultan Bhargash said:

No, it's not a bad habit. ;) I believe that if a registered member has something on-topic to say that does not violate the Forum Rules (no offense, Sultan), then he should say it. No exceptions! Even if it consists mostly of the words, "to [person]".

BTW, who has the turn? Let's go through the rounds of saying "I don't have it" so we can determine it through indirect logic. Aye, reading a "to [person]" message would be so much simpler.

That might be too much spam. ;) Just email everyone and ask if they have it.

I see ya. :)

Do you have anything good for Masonry? :D

P.S To Plexus. ;)

Chieftess said:

Good plan. I'll remember to spam my five friends' e-mail accounts with a request for info that four friends already want to know...

:thinks twice:

Er, I'll remember to do that next time. ;)

Trip; I hope you made an offer, then we can see what we can trade each other. I am not sure if I have things you dont already have or not but we will soon find out.

I did make an offer. Right now the things I have that you don't are bronze working and masonry.

Game to Nick, round 10 began.

Trip- I offered you a tech, hope you like it...

Got anything better? ;)

That was the only tech I have. I might consider adding some gold to the deal...

GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT: On Wednesday Next I have to go out of town till the Saturday after thanksgiving, about a ten day break.

If you guys would rather keep playing, I am happy to accept a sub for those days or even give my spot over to somebody else. Let me know what you think.

That's okay with me. From Monday, November 25, until Saturday, November 30, I also will be out of action. I don't intend to take any more big vacations like this one for a year. Nick, Trip, Plexus, UKSubs, do you think you will need to give me the boot also? :)

I'm willing to wait for you guys. :)

It sounds fine to me. However You cold possibly ask someone that you trust to play your turns while you are away. You don't have to (I probably wouldn't) but if you feel comfortable it would be greatly apreciated.

I am happy either way. The only thing I would say is that I wouldn't want someone already in the game to play my turns, that would be an unfair advantage...

Personally, I can wait. The game is still young and moving slow, so taking a week or two off won't kill the momentum or anything.

It looks like a majority then?

(Game to Nick 940pm EST thursday)

yea, i can wait... i guess.

At last, I received Round 11, 3500 BC.

It has been sent to UKSubs.

It took that long for you to get it??

I've made a new friend. Perhaps they will be interested in trading some tech.

Hey UKSubs, I grew up in East Brunswick, NJ. Just noticed your location!

Game to Nick. NOBODY turns games around faster than me.

Makes me wish some programmer would come up with a mod where every 12 hours you held on to a PBEM, something would be disbanded in your civ!!!

Plexus said:

It took that long for you to get it??

To tell the honest truth, after waiting over 36 hours for my turn, I turned my attention to pet projects instead of Civ 3: PTW. I did not expect it would come the hour after I asked, "Who has the turn?" Sorry, everyone.

I'm working on solving an old geometry problem, and on building a new website for a company. (The former may make me famous among mathematicians; the latter may bring me some extra income.)

Glad to see that we got some momentum going, game to trip.

Wow, three new civs in two turns. :p

To UKSubs.

Um...I didn't receive the file...could I get a resend. And my new friend is letting it be known...how sad.

A little early for secret strategies, don't you think?

UKSubs said:

Um...I didn't receive the file...could I get a resend.

Sent again. Switch from AOL to MSN 8, please. It's better with the butterfly. ;)

We hit a snag, UKSubs, I got your email about the turn but you forgot to attach the turn to it... can you send it on?

Round 13 is about to begin with Nick.

@that Civ who offered Bronze Working- you know who you are - I am only two turns from developing it so I really can't offer anything back (only would have been some gold anyway), if you want to make a gift of it press "accept" and I will owe you a tech down the line...

Game to trip.(decided to start posting this again so we don't get any "lost" turns.)

Game to myzenium... I'm gonna post my turns from now on.

Game sent to UKSubs.

Game will be to Nick a few minutes. I will probably get the chance to play a turn Saturday and again during the week as it turns out...

Game to trip. Hello Carthage:)

Sent game to UKSubs.

Good to have you with us, Sultan. :)

Bad news, everyone:

Chieftess said at Two Headed Giants (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35619&pagenumber=6):

Just to let everyone know, Sultan Bargash was banned for 10 days (for flaming in OT). So, don't be surprised when he hasn't posted in a while...

I have the game and should send it in a few. By the way, Sultan told me that his ban was shortened to 5 days.

Hehe, I'm winning right now. :D

Gotta remember to go and name my units for fun. :)

Yes, i did that against my brother on hotseat. Of course i named them War in 2 turns, Death To the Ottomans, and Ready for War? I am. Funny though, we never went to war. I got bribed ;)

As I said on post #114 of this thread, I will be unable to play for some time from Monday to Saturday. If Plexus doesn't make his move in thirty minutes, expect that I won't take my turn for the whole week. I have to be rested for the early-morning car-pool to the vacation place.

Great game, guys. Civ 3: PTW rocks! :)

I've returned from vacation.

Game to UKSubs.

i've returned from my bans! I will play the turn this afternoon and pass it on. Missed you guys, happy thanksgiving...

Game to Nick. India is back and we are dealing!

I think something happened to GrandMasta Nick. Check out his profile. He hasn't posted since November 24.

Must be on vacation. I'll try emailing him again.

This is the problem with PBEM, you start a game as a young bright eyed college student and you are committed to finishing as a washed up retiree... :(

Just got the game from Nick.

Just a reminder, make sure you have the 1.14f patch installed, or else your game won't like the save file. ;)

Sorry about the stall guys, i've had a lot on my plate lately.:(

Just glad you are back, Nick, and everyone is back, and maybe this game will get interesting. Hope all is well. :)

Off to Myzenium a few hours ago...

My settler has completed its journey over the frontier. Next turn, I will have two cities. :)

Game to UKSubs.

Just two? Next turn I'll have three (and no, I didn't get one from a goody hut). :p

GAME TO NICK, 447 PM EST

We enter Round 17 (at last).

I have one city.

Found a suitable site for another city. Started building another Settler.

Game to UKSubs.

Game to Nick. Two turns in one day. Hurray. (by contrast, Two Headed Giants has had two turns in one month :( )

Okay, the game is to Nick again, 704 EST on December 10. This is the same turn I celebrated sending in that last post. I hope that if we start posting HERE each time we pass the turn along (that includes you, UKSubs) that the notification here will jar the player who "doesn't" receive a turn to post or email the person who says they sent it with a message to "please send it again".

Is that really so much to ask?

Well, I'm out until next Friday.

and I don't have the game...

And from wednesday till new year I am going away to the sunny south...

i sent the game to trip, yesturday

My wise-guys will discover the secrets of the Wheel next turn! :) Discovered another suitable city site.

Game sent to UKSubs.

UKSubs said:

Well, I'm out until next Friday.

Do you suppose that Friday is today or the 20th December?

Just got the wheel... iron in a few + my UU :)

Count me out of this PBEM. I've tired of waiting one month for my turn. My idea of a good time does not include turn-based games that are played at a rate exceeding one turn per month. I don't care if you think me a loser for quitting so early in the game. I can't take more waiting! :(

(Maybe this post will spur GrandMasta Nick to use his administrative permissions and expel the player who's taking so much time. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this laggard is working on hacking our passwords from the savefile. Even if Nick does exactly that tomorrow, I don't want any part of a game where cheating has obviously happened.)

Count me out as well, this game is dead. And I don't really want to try to make it live.

Time of death, 6:15.
