Well if worse comes to worse and I'm the only one holding it up I could make that sacrafice. Just putting it out there

 

[Trainwreck20]

Email me a schedule based on GMT, and who knows, maybe it works for everyone .

 

[Trainwreck20]

It appears that the game crashed somewhere in the middle of the night my time. I reloaded the latest save, but everyone check out their status. Oyzar, it looks like you may need to complete your turn again, I am not sure.

Hay, people...
we all trying to jump in... Let's try one by one...
Maybe that is the problem...

 

[oyzar]

multiplayer through civ have a host of issues. Gamespy have another host of issues not to mention that it makes it take 2 min more to login every time... soo anoying.. If we are going to get a live session i propose we use hamachi...

EDIT: i have lik 5 min before i have to go to bed... If we had planed this beforehand we could have done like 20+ turns but instead we get off 2-3...

 

[burlicconi]

We can use Hamachi... But i think it can also make some problems...
I suggest that we jump in by order in turns, as we are in choose nation menu...
When one player gets in, he signals another player to start connecting...

 

[burlicconi]

How there are 4 of us and everything seems pretty cool... No waiting, no slow, just fine...

 

[Levgre]

game down?

 

[oyzar]

certanly not up though... means i likely won't be able to take my turn for another 12 hrs or so...

 

[Trainwreck20]

Hmmm...sorry, did not know the game was down until just now. It will be ~4 hours until I can get back home to crank it up.

 

[oyzar]

why don't you check such stuff in the morning before you go out? gamespy isn't exactly reliable...

 

[Trainwreck20]

Game is back up and and connected to Gamespy.

Btw, I looked at the game and it appeared to be running, I did not notice that GS had dropped it.

 

[oyzar]

well it is not your fault that gamespy sucks of course...

 

[oyzar]

game spy is down. Could you please host on direct ip or hamachi at least until it get back? why is it on gamespy in the first place?

 

[Trainwreck20]

It appears to working at the moment. I tried Hamachi, but it was not working well for us....it was causing the game to crash, for some reason. I may try to figure it out later, but don't have the time lately.

 

[Trainwreck20]

I like the PTBS pace so far....41 turns in 13 days for so far, 42 if we finish another today. That is over 3/day, as opposed to the nice and pokey PBEM games I am in .

 

[burlicconi]

yes, very nice speed indeed...
And all without any sessions...
BTW, tonight is not our night

 

[oyzar]

My connection went down at home. And now it seems gamespy is down :/

 

[oyzar]

Looks like gamespy is up again but the game is not there obviously...
Every time gamespy goes down we lose like half a day or about 1.5 turns...

 

[oyzar]

If the game doesn't go up before timer runs out i would request a reload...
