I emailed you and will join if there is another slot. Thanks. Large map may take forever, but small map might be ok. Most are playing tiny.

Any size map or difficulty is fine with me. :) Will this be a classic civ3 game? If so, which victory conditions will be on?

FionnMcCumhall
Nov 20, 2002, 12:52 AM
yes it will be a classic with all victory condistions i think unless someone wants something kicked off

Toasty
Nov 20, 2002, 10:41 AM
Small would be good. Does difficulty matter all that much? It looks like we'll have all human players...

Me too!

(without the _)

So, uh, what is it we're waiting for, precisely?

Octavian X

Of course, your waiting for me to join!

I wanna be Carthage!

FionnMcCumhall

What's the playing order?

Essex
Nov 21, 2002, 10:13 AM
Fionn could you please send an email out with a subject something like Fionn's PBEM and containing the email address of everyone who is in the game.

Once we are able to conduct diplomatic negotiations this will come in very handy.

i gave it in the zip file i sent along, hopefully is coming around the same way :). and playing order is pretty much around how everyone signed up

donsig

The Arab settlers move south...

I e-mailed the save to Toasty - I think he follows me!?!

Can you make an ordered list with everyone's names, civilizations and email adresses?

Toasty

Tis already done :)

Essex
Nov 21, 2002, 06:40 PM
Someone along the way forgot to attach the original zip file so I don't have anyone's contact info. Most importantly I don't have the email address of the next player: jshelr.

FionnMcCumhall
Nov 21, 2002, 06:55 PM
doh ill send it :)

Essex
Nov 21, 2002, 08:05 PM
Thanks fionn, turns on to jshelr.

jshelr
Nov 21, 2002, 08:07 PM
I'm in the same sad shape as others. I've done my turn but don't know where to send the file. We will need a complete email list to do diplomacy later anyway.

FionnMcCumhall
Nov 25, 2002, 05:10 AM
How is the game going for you guys?

Eli
Nov 25, 2002, 06:45 AM
I sent Octavian the savegame again. Maybe he didnt notice or something.

donsig
Nov 25, 2002, 07:52 AM
Sorry for holding things up. I went to Toronto and Orillia this weekend. Didn't see a computer for two days. :D

game e-mailed to Toasty.

Here's a look at Arabia:

Eli

Everyone :

POST when you send the game, this way we can now who has it now, and if there is a problem with the email the next player will be able to see it earlier.

Toasty

Russians dedicate all funds to scientific progress, hoping to discover Ceremonial Burial before too much longer.

Czarina Toasty saves the game and sends it off to Persia :p.

FionnMcCumhall
Nov 25, 2002, 03:52 PM
i did that too but ive already got cerimonial burial :D

FionnMcCumhall
Nov 25, 2002, 04:23 PM

Essex

My copy of Civ3 screwed up in an attempt to reinstall the game so that I could at least attempt to play an error free game of single player PTW. For the time being, I need to be dropped from the game.
Sorry. :(

FionnMcCumhall
Nov 27, 2002, 03:00 AM
well hmm i dont think we can drop players in the game. Eli send me the save and then ill see what i can do about dropping octavian from the game

Eli
Nov 27, 2002, 05:09 AM
Sent.

FionnMcCumhall
Nov 27, 2002, 11:13 PM
I think we are gonna have to start over, fortunatly we havent gotten too deep into the game to be a big diffrence. What do you guys think?. Reason why - Cant boot octavian from the game cuz i cant find the admin option

Eli
Nov 28, 2002, 12:44 AM
Did you try to type the admin password instead of his?

FionnMcCumhall
Nov 28, 2002, 01:10 AM
yup i tried everything. even a thread in the MP part of this forum, i dont think anyone else knows how to access the admin functions

donsig
Nov 28, 2002, 08:46 AM
Well, since Arabia is full of mountains I certainly don't mind starting over. :)

Chieftess
Nov 28, 2002, 09:16 AM
Fionn, I just figured it out. All you do is open that player's save, type in the admin password, and you can give them a new password.

FionnMcCumhall
Nov 28, 2002, 10:13 AM
i need to kick them out of the game. not have them continue know what i mean

FionnMcCumhall
Nov 29, 2002, 11:23 PM
when it comes to octavians turn send the save to me. Ill retire him from the game so we can continue

donsig
Nov 30, 2002, 12:58 PM
Game sent to CivGeneral. :)

The Arabs have finally come down from the mountains...

oops! No wonder we're dragging here. I will send this to Toasty ASAP.

ok who is slowing down the game now?

Octavian X
Dec 04, 2002, 09:18 PM
Is it too late to join back in? Please?

FionnMcCumhall
Dec 04, 2002, 10:16 PM
i dont even know where to game is. If it doesnt come around in the next 2 days im gonna cancel this game and start over with a new one

Plexus
Dec 06, 2002, 02:01 AM
Well, I don't have it

Eli
Dec 06, 2002, 03:36 AM
Me neither.

jshelr
Dec 06, 2002, 09:27 AM
I don't have it either. Eli has been regular as clockwork in other games registering his turns. When you do that, then you know where the game is.

Especially in the early going, there can be problems without anyone knowing they are responsible for the problems. Registering the turns would let us quickly know where to look.

FionnMcCumhall
Dec 06, 2002, 01:01 PM
I think ill start the game over. New thread and all. PM me to let me know if your still interested in playing a game

Chieftess
Dec 06, 2002, 01:47 PM
Ok, thread closed.
