If you are trying to find someone to play a game with but are having troubles with it you may want to try the PBEM forum.

Usually the biggest problem with trying to schedule a multiplayer game is that most people are busy and that makes it difficult to find a time when everyone can play.
With Play By E-Mail games, you simply play your turn, post about it in the forums, attach your save file, and let the next person play.
This way you get the fun of playing against other human players without the aggravation of trying to schedule a time that everyone can agree on.
