Warmup game?

[Hummel]

I would wait for 24 hours so that all have the chance to pick their leaders and discuss the settings.

Edit: At a pitboss-game you don't need the e-mail-adresses.

 

[Domino369]

I'll try De Gaulle of France
Monarch
Don't really care about the rest of the settings.

 

[DaveShack]

I'm fine with random civ and whatever settings.

 

[HUSch]

Huayna
Monarch is good
Map random

 

[peter grimes]

I only included my email in case people want to reach me.

SPeaking of which, Tink - your email made me laugh I hope you don't take offense at that

 

[Tinkerbell]

No offence taken (so far ), I just don't get what's so funny about my e-mail address...

 

[peter grimes]

Well, in the US, Guido can be a slur for an Italian, and the domain name cramwinckel sounds like a town Monty Python might use for a sketch. Putting the two together, in my american mind, resulted in a bit of comedic dissonance

 

[Tinkerbell]

lol, get it. Put those two together in my mind and I have just my name.

 

[Tinkerbell]

When are we starting?

Sweet

Are we going to run simultaneous?... 24 hours / turn? Perhaps there's a time we can all arrange to connect together to bang through the first 30ish turns?

It would have to be some weekday, GMT 1300 - 2200 for me.

 

[Domino369]

No good if said weekday is this week as my school decided to overload me with homework before the Thanksgiving break.
I'm good for most of Thanksgiving break though. (unless parents get a lil wierd and make me do stuff =O)

Since this game is intended to be a learning experience for the participants as well as other team 5 members who aren't playing, I suggest that all willing players maintain Spoiler threads. This will allow our fellow teammates to lurk our pitboss game (for fun and profit), and when each of us is eliminated (it's certain to happen ) then we participants can learn from our conquerers! And because this game is undertaken in the spirit of Teamwork and Gamesmanship, I trust that our fellow teammates won't be tempted to spy on the spoiler threads

Everyone agree? Simply state I AGREE NOT TO SPY in your initial spoiler post (and include a bunch of garbage, so that a mouse-over doesn't reveal anything important), and then we're all safe with our spoilers

IP: 128.119.31.206
Pass: Caliph

 

[Tinkerbell]

How do I connect? Using Direct IP Connection? If so, I get a message of invalid password.

 

[Unionfield]

I dunno if it is case sensitive... if it is, then the password is "caliph"

Direct IP

 

[Tinkerbell]

I get an different error this time:

The attempt to connect the host has timed out.

 

[peter grimes]

Yes, the passwords are case sensitive.

Is the game listed on Civstats? That's an easy way to keep track of when the turn comes around.

I connected just fine.
