Considering starting a PTBS 24 hr game based on Earth 1000 AD

[swiss1]

In the interest of not creating confusion, I was able to log in as Swiss1 and restore a password to the Carthaginian empire! That way, you won't have to keep wondering who's really crappy down there at Civstats...."Is it Bob or is it Swiss1?"...well, now you know it's both and we're both of us pretty bad civ4 players..

LOL, dont feel like the Lone Ranger.

 

[ForesterSOF]

Just give me time and I will be down there with you.

As far as I can tell, Mike hasn't logged any turns yet and he's still 2 points ahead of me!! I'll start working on a guide detailing this unusual strategy of mine of lulling all other players into a false sense of security and when they least expect it!!! OH!!...I've said too much already...

 

[Arckon]

I have kicked Mike out of the game since he has not played a turn in quite some time.

All he has to do to get back into the game is take over his old civ once again as I left the ruler name his old name, 'Mike'.

Just wanted to inform everyone.

Personally, I'd like to suggest that people defend their cities better...especially in Europe. Otherwise I'm going to have to be...mean...and start the wardecs. I'd really rather pick on the AI first, but if your capital is only guarded by one Spearman...

 

[swiss1]

Well!! Who'd a thought an axeman would sail up to my poor city so soon and brutally take over exactly 1/2 of my empire....I guess I didn't...when you wrote about the single spearman defender in Europe, I knew I was ok cause I'm in Africa...silly me! Anyway, Thalatta, now that you've fallen into my trap, I'll accept your unconditional surreneer asap. The sooner the better before things get really ugly.

 

[Thalatta]

I tried to make it as obvious as possible without directly calling you out...and you moved your units west instead of northwest, not even making a show of caring for your capital. I may regret it later (though your Spearmen aren't particularly meancing), but I knew I'd regret not doing it more. Sorry. At least it's, uh, historically consistent.

 

[Arckon]

LOL, and the tawdry soap opera begins already!

heheh

Dear Mr. Thaletta,
You are indeed correct that the Romans did slap the Cartheginians around pretty good in historical real life. I also seem to recall that was after Hannibal created quite a stir in the Roman folks on his tour of the pennisula.
We sincerely appreciate your documentation of our silliness in leaving our capital so poorly defended. You may rest assured that that will NEVER occur again in a mp game of mine. A bit after-the fact, we suppose that your generals neglected to inform you that our Southward moving troops ( the ones absent from my capital) were off to lessen the threat to our fiiends, the Romans, back-sides by taking out that barbarian town....but, oh well...such is the fog of war.
Now, if you'd be so kind as to go off and pester some other little peaceful nation and leave us alone with our elephant and cross-country travel "education programme, we'd appreciate it.

Ouch, thats gotta hurt!

 

[swiss1]

I don't think it was that tawdry....well, maybe a little. I expect Thaletta will be sending the Mafia over to visit my last city!

 

[Thalatta]

That depends on if it's got more than the fourth Spearman defending it. If it does, I'll be more than happy to leave it alone in exchange for a visit from some elephants in the future.

As for the barb city, that's what I initially was planning to use my Axemen for...

Server down ?

 

[swiss1]

I was unable to log into the game this morning....that was around 1130 GMT. So I was not able to see if I'm still a civ or not...I'll try again in about 7 hours when I get off work...
also...civstats doesn't appear to be updating our game right now...

 

[Arckon]

Everything is going fine now. It was just a Verizon hickup (changing the IP again).

Please use the DNSes I set up to connect if you are not yet.

And Swiss1, you are still a civ, lol.

 

[IanDC]

I'm just getting timeout on both DNSes atm.

 

[crazyjoe0813]

I am still unable to connect and I have not been able to for the past three hours...

The server is up and running. All I can suggest is trying again. I restarted it, maybe there is something hanging up when Verizon reassigns IPs? I dont know, but it should be working.

I appologize for the hassles everyone, but I am doing my best to keep this thing going 24/7.

I think whenever a new IP is assigned, I will restart the game to make sure everything is ok. I dont know what else to do.

 

[ForesterSOF]

Got my turn before work.
