Damn, I can't look. Can you be more specific about what is in the log. Maybe I can use something smart you got there?

We agreed to have a log in the DDPP game. In my own log I have things like:
4000BC. Settled near river.
3500BC. Finished 5th scout, start second warrior. Hut gave "warrior code".
3000BC. Bla bla.. etc etc...

I guess since I was talking about something like this, you'd better include me in.


Col - Random (Lankies)

 

[Chieftess]

Stats? And no Cracker? I had better see him here...

 

[Matrix]

Col, I added you to the list.

ERIKK, I made my log more in spoken language instead of code language, trying to make it as much pleasing to read. But it's still a game report and not as if I'm a true leader of a true Civilization.

 

[Plexus]

I'd like to play this game, it sounds interesting.

I'll play as Japan if possible, if not, Rome would be ok.

 

[Hygro]

I want to watch this game--but I'm not sure if I want to play

 

[Melifluous]

Hey Matrix,

This is just what I was planning on doing for my latest PBEM, PBEM4...

So...

Can I join in?

I would love to be the Americans (if not Carthage)

Melifluous

 

[Matrix]

Plexus & Melifluous, I've added you as well.

You know what I was thinking? Perhaps I should make a special user for my site, where the web pages of this PBEM will be located, and you can all access that with FTP and change it, without my interference. How about it?

Are you (Col, Plexus, Melifluous) all accustomed with FTP and making a web site?

 

[Melifluous]

Yep,
Sure am...

See my site My Civ3 Site (bit new)

Good enough?

Melifluous

 

[col]

Yup - I've taught a course on web site creation
Just learning the joys of PHP - well I bought a book on it yesterday.

For info Mel + Mat
My email is colinf_AT_btinternet.com (just replace _AT_ by @)

 

[Matrix]

Ok, great!

PHP is out of my league yet. I only use premade scripts, but can't program in it myself.

And what about you, Plexus?

By the way, I'll email your future login in a few minutes.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Oh, what a pity, websites is something I have no experience whatsoever with - otherwise I would have loved to join. But I will lurk and give scathing critizism

 

[anarres]

I would like to join, but my 'straight' HTML is too sparce.

If someone can give me the basic template maybe I can still do it. Any offers?

 

[Melifluous]

Hey anarres,

Just get yourself a decent editor...
Then copy someone elses site, and change it enough to avoid copyright issues

Anyway I use Acehtml, it's freeware and I like it

You know you can use Word to create perfectly servicable web pages. In fact its probably the easiest way of creating tables.

Just create your page in Word then Save as HTML. Upload it.
Et voila. Bobs your uncle.

 

[Melifluous]

Word is OK if you dont mind your code being about 4 times longer than it need be that is...

But Yeah word is easy...

Looking forward to this

If you think Word is bad, I use FrontPage but the code it produces is not exactly optimised.

 

[Plexus]

Yea, I know HTML, some C and very little PHP... here's my old site: http://liquid2k.com/plexus/ , My email is Enemysoldier88@yahoo.com . I have frontpage also, I usually have to play with the code to get it down to a respectable file size.

 

[anarres]

OK, I'm in.

I think I should be able to use Dreamweaver well enough for the purposes, I've just got a thing about not producing shabby looking work, so maybe I'll learn some more

I think I might go for Random this time (thanx col ), I don't really have a favourite civ anyways...
