SGOTM 10 Sign-up Thread

[AlanH]

I've opened the team threads and the Maintenance Thread for this game. Please check into your team thread as soon as possible. It may be a good idea for the team leaders to PM their team members to round them up for initial pre-game discussions.

Please remember. You do NOT visit any other team's thread until your game is over.

Confirming Cats&Dogs as the shortcut name for the Reigning Cats and Dogs.

And while I'm here,

 

[AlanH]

Ummmm. Sorry. The saves are branded, the [data]bases are loaded and the team threads are up. Countdown is underway for midnight tonight, when tilmelocks will click and whirr and the (cats &) dogs of war are unleashed.

You're Cats & Dogs unless you can give me several good reasons to redo a whole lot of work.

Alright, I thought it wasn't in the clock yet. No biggie. We'll just have to cheat and hexa-edit the save's code ... or not

Hackng the saves would be the easy bit, and would change nothing. You'd also have to hack the MySQL database that handles the saves, and another one, on a different server, that manages the forum. I'd suggest that persuading me might be an easier option, though you don't know my price yet .

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Maybe it's just me that is too easily shaken, but you sound convincing, for now And anyways a grad student's financial means aren't quite to par with your price, IIRC - thinking about DJMGator talking about a corvette or something along those lines. So these dogs will call off the barking

@Cron: Thanks for signing up. I suggest we put you in Team tao, unless anyone has a better idea? New signups from uncommitted players from now on will be distributed among the existing teams, as I doubt if we'll get enough to make a complete new team.

Has Cron been added to team tao? I can't find him in the submissions list.

 

[AlanH]

Whoops! Sorry, he's there now.

Hi,

Is it too late to be added to a team?

1. Deity
2. Yes I am new to the SGOTM, not the GOTM, though.
3. I would like to be added to a team that has any c3p ladder players on it. Otherwise any team with good quality players will do.


Whoops! Apologies, I edited your post instead of mine somehow! Here's my reply:

1. Have you read any of the team threads? If so you have spoiler information that could restrict the teams you can join.

2. If not then I'll check with the team leaders and see if anyone can use an extra player.

3. I haven't the foggiest who are c3p ladder players, so you'll have to check the team lists on the Progress and Results page and tell me which teams qualify under that rule.

If unspoiled, i could use someone to take my turns in the next 3 weeks since my laptop had a major crash.
i also have mid year exams, work experience and a school program that involves me going into the city for the week in the next 3 weeks.

Aloha,

I'd like to play the SGOTM.

1) I usually play solo at the Diety level.
2) I'm brand new to SGOTM, though I've played a few of the GOTM games.
3) I'd like to play on my own, rather than on a team. Is that OK?

Hello, welcome.

This SGOTM started two months ago, and is coming to an end. it is a competition between registered teams of players. Anyone is free to download a starting save and play it privately, but you can't start an official team for this event now, you must on no account upload your saved files to the SGOTM server, and you must not communicate with any unfinished competing team about the game.

We'll be starting up a new Civ3 game in the next few weeks, after we get the new Civ4 SGOTM under way. Why not join a team for one of those two events?

 

[flix.]

how do you start playing

how do you start playing

Hi, welcome

If you just want to replay this game as a single player game then go to the Progress and Results Page. Click on any team start save in the table to download it, and then load the save in Conquests and play. You also need the SGOTM mod - a small file that adds some resources to the game. Find a link in the SGOTM Reference thread in this forum.

If you want to join in as a member of a team it's too late to do so for this game, but we'll be starting a new game in the next few weeks, so watch this forum for a sign-up thread for SGOTM 11.

 

[Haydn]

Hi Alan,

I went to the Progress and Results Page, but it is for Civ4 SGOTM 1.

Can you give me a link to download the starting .SAV file for the most recent Civ3 SGOTM?

 

[AlanH]

Sorry Try this one

The GOTM site has links on every page to both Civ3 (left column) and Civ4 (right column) resources, so it's really not very difficult to get around.
