Did I say work was unpredictable?

Because it is!

Unpredictable? What do they do throw dice?

Anyway welcome back. I'll send you the email I sent the others for tonights game.

For anybody not paying attention. 8PM is right now. In fact - it's 5 minutes ago.

Friggin' timezones, I tried to join one hour too late. Oh well, that's it for me then.

Sorry Kaizu.

That was fun though, gang. Same time next week?

 

[The Great Apple]

Also sorry. I turned up an hour early instead. Does anybody happen to know what turn we finished on?

Are we going to start an hour earlier (as the first posts says) next week?

Was enjoyable. Just approaching a good bit when we had to pack it up. Looking forward to next week

 

[zenspiderz]

Was lots of fun although it was late in the session that i encounterd another civ.

Zen, here's the link to the fix for Pitboss under Warlords. If you download that you should be in good shape for hosting new warlords games, or turning the one we started today into a Pitboss.

sorry guys i guess i missed the first session... i deleted zen's initial mail thinking that it was a spam

ive got myself connected to the network... and may i ask.. how long does a session last ?

I wouldn't mind if we restarted the game (probably because I'm surrounded by jungle, have no copper nor iron within 20 tiles from my capital and I'm at war with the strongest civ ). But I can continue playing because it's getting quite interesting. So it's really up to you

 

[Kaizu]

Please, don't restart if there's no other reason than me getting to join. I will have plenty of opportunities later on.

Then again, I would be very happy if you would find a reason to restart anyhow

Last night's game went well I think we can all agree. Hamachi sorted the usual firewall issues so that those that made it were able to enjoy a fast paced multiplayer without the a nightmare of techical issues. Unfortunatly two players did not make it for one reason or another.

I would like to give them a chance to jump in but we did not set any AI for them to take over... Which means if kaizu and brother lone wants to join in next week we will need to restart.

Myself I am ok with this so I will say unless at least one of the existing players objects we will restart the game.. and kaizu and brotherlone can join in on the next game after this one finishes if they like.

ok?

I'd rather not restart. It's beginning to get interesting.

Having said that, I did rather botch up my start. Lukily I did get a pretty good starting location, so it evens out . I'll have to think about it

BTW - I'm still quite confused about the times we are meant to be playing. Is it 7-10PM BST, or 8-11PM BST. Also, pitboss doesn't appear to be running.

7-10 BST which is 8-11 GMT .. I know why you are confused last night we started at 8 BST ..

pitboss isn't running yet .. the game we started last night wasn't a pitboss game. I have heard that it can be converted but i haven't done gotten around to tracking down the utility that does it.

I didn't think it is very important since in the 6 days between sessions only 6 turns can be played.. In a power session the same number of turns can be played in just 10 minutes or so.

 

[The Great Apple]

Yeah, but I like to be able to pop on a scheme evilly

EDIT: But it's probably to much of a pain for you, so I wouldn't bother if I were you

That's good to know since I intend on using Hamachi for the next pitboss game I host (if there is one). Did you run it as a pitboss game straight from the beginning or did you have it as a LAN game/direct IP game for the accelerated start and then convert it to a pitboss game later?

 

[Zilch]

I would like to join you in your next game or if you restart.
Wednesdays are great with me as my wife goes out so I get a night of no interuptions

Due to difficulties I had with the pitboss program and warlords we did not use for the first session. Nor did lan game set up work .. but directip worked very well.

Ok, so direct ip over hamachi... what did you have the players type into the ip box to connect... the computer's name, internal (local) IP, or external IP? And you were able to convert a direct ip game to pitboss without problems?

 

[TELawrence]

Well I'm all in favour of restarting being under attack from two fronts and in severe danger of taking an early bath... but I guess I might be biased. If it came to a vote I'd vote to restart!
