Sometimes it's difficult for someone new to Civ to find someone with experience to play a game with, and teach aspects at same time.

Not that I'm the greatest, but Saturday around 6:00 p.m. central time, I'll make myself available to any newbies who would like to play.

I'll set it for King and 2x.
Post here if you're interested.
If even one says yes, I'll be there.

More than 6, and I think I can find a co-host.

E*** ** ***** and W***, feel free to flame away at me. <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/wink.gif" border=0>

Just a Suggestion Sloww...

Get yourself a couple of "cooperators" .. & put together MGE player's ICQ list.. like Tact, Stercus & myself have done with TOT..& you can get something going. This is really starting to pay off for us.

I just finished a game that went on for 6-7 hours, to 100 + AD..& had players that stretched from Denmark to Australia. Had 4-5 players at all times..one guy would have to go & I would snag another to take his place...worked like a charm !

It has taken about 5 weeks for us to get to this place. With MGE .. you might be able to do it faster. You won't have all rookies..but you will have people that are new to IP play.

Just maybe, we can bring an end to all this "we bad, cause we whip the AI " blather.

Some of these Rookies run into the Dueling Crowd.. & it can be devastating for them. Don't want to discourage people from play.

I think 2x pushes people to war.. but of course that is your call.

I'm not looking to start running an ongoing school, Dogberry.

I thought it just be helpful to have some "real time" question and answer game for those still tentative in their play.


Also, some things you can count on as surely as the sun rising.
See above.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

I just thought it better than some Apolyton League guys, who lure newbies into joining League right before playing a game, and then gang bang them for the points.
Wowwww. Awesome!
A true test of skill.

Newbie trashers will not end high in the CF Ladder, trust me. Theburgh just got 23 points for his 12th game against a newbie. That is 11,5% of the maximum and this is still the first month. Just figure how much points he will get in September for trashing newbies.
