DDPP: Dutch Disappionted PTW Players PBEM

[ProPain]

FYI I'll be on anther business meeting tomorrow from 12:00 to 15:00. Yes, this means I can't be reached then, but I'll promise to check my email before and after (sounds like a makeover, I'll post a the pictures).

Good news, no other appointments the rest of the week!!! I'll be working in my office and be available for all PBEM's arriving. Even better: on saturday I will be able to check in on the game also. I expect to spend saturday evening in a bar, so I'll prolly won't check email on sunday untill late afternoon.

Before I call it a night I say GLA & HF.

GLA="Good luck all"
HF=?

Anyway, everything's in order then.

Good luck to you too!

 

[ProPain]

HF=Have Fun

Even more important than good luck in my oppinion. Luck is something you can't influence, fun is.

We got a complete round!

Everybody check their email please. I think Redwatch sent his save to the wrong person!

 

[Plux]

Nope, I've got it.. apparently Rewatch and I have switched in order.. that's ok.. I'll play now and send to Matrix

 

[Plux]

Is there a FAQ somewhere regarding PBEM? How does diplomacy/trading take place?

Matrix has it now

Matrix has in that case made a different sequence

Apparently the sequence is:
matrix
kemal
erikk
propain
redwatch
plux

Right, Matrix? (In that case my mail from 8:20 AM CET is wrong! Sorry abou that!)

Matrix has it now

It is in the manual, but if you don't have it I will write it down for you and mail it!

 

[Redwatch]

Well this first turn cost me over two hours.... For those who want a head start -------> i pressed 'B'

 

[ProPain]

You pressed 'B' That's what I did too!

This is going to be a close game...

ProPain

 

[Redwatch]

And moved my worker to the left square.... i'm in the winning mood.....

 

[ProPain]

Don't get your hopes up. I not only moved my worker but too....... I also moved my scout!!!

Yes, I'm not kidding. This is serious stuff, not to be underestimated.

[ERIKK]

People!

Quit screwing around! If you wanna be proud of yourselfs write a nice story like Ruler ERIKK of the ThisIsIt-ians!

As for now, your civilizations are nothing compared to allmighty ThisIsIT....

But I see you guys are having fun yet!

 

[Kemal]

Seems like you guys are going pretty strong.... But you're already beginning to fall behind, since in addition to pressing 'B' and moving my worker, I also adjusted my research rate!

 

[Matrix]

In what ways do you keep track of your game?
I intend to write a log every time something happens and I take a screenshot of my capital (Strastad) and defence advisor (just for the map) every turn.

Then at the end (or when we all know the map), I can show you the animated gif I'll make of all these maps.

By the way, once two persons have met, they may negotiate via email, ICQ or MSN, right? I mean that'll be a lot easier and quicker than via messages in the game... (No I'm not that far... )

 

[ERIKK]

I will post over here. I will write down some funny stories like they do in the Pioneer PBEM, it gives (for the reader) the game something extra. I liked reading the Pioneer events thread.

But I may keep a log for myself too.

 

[ProPain]

Usually I don't log, because when I played the QSC it took me way too much time. But considering the waits between turns time's not so much of a problem now, so I'll log too. Will be fun to read how we started when we finish the game june 2004....

 

[Matrix]

Since we're probably gonna play for a while, I'd like to know against whom I'm playing actually.

I'm 21, student chemistry, loving the students life in the wonderful city of Groningen (though I live in the sleep town Haren). And though I got quite some experience with Civ3, I'm still not that good in it. Just look at my prestations of the GOTM.

 

[Redwatch]

Ok, i'll say something about myself too.
My real name is Sid Me... ehh I'm in realestate and morgages and insurance. Run my own company(tje).

I'm playing civilization from the beginning (the first edition where three 1.44 disks) Together with Clint

I've never been playing Call to Power. Damn that was slow...
My tactics are..........right sure keep on dreaming, you all find out....:tank:

I mostley play at regent and score about 6 to 7 thousand points.

 

[Plux]

I'm an AI-student at Utrecht University and am also playing civ since civ 1. Have touched upon CTP but that wasn't as sweet as the real thing I am playing veteran division in tournament (which is slowly dying ), which means regent/monarch level.

This afternoon I also played some real MP games. Big Fun!
