Warmup game?

[Unionfield]

My computer is wigging out... every time I open anything that uses the video card, it freaks out and crashes. I am re-installing drivers and such so the game might be spotty in terms of uptime, though it looks like everyone but me has taken their 3960 turn anyways.

 

[Unionfield]

OK, so here's the deal. My laptop just died; either the video card or the monitor wigged out and won't allow me to get back the BIOS screen.

So, obviously, this puts a hold on my ability to host the game. I have an updated save file (thanks to my obsessive need to save everything onto my backup external hard drive), so someone else can host and pick up right where we left off. I don't know when I'd be able to fulfill my turns again.

 

[DaveShack]

I can host if needed.

I'm ok with open spoilers. In fact, I might even be the weakest one in the game -- being experienced does not imply being good.

This must be the voice of an experienced player, going for the under dog position.

 

[DaveShack]

Check out my HOF position, or lack thereof.

 

[peter grimes]

I cannot host. As I said before, I'm totally fine with open spoilers.

 

[DaveShack]

If Unionfield posts the save and PM's the password, I'll load it up and get us going. At least until we find out if I'm needed to host the main game.

 

[HUSch]

At least give it a try

When hosting a pitboss game, can you still play a SP game on the same machine? Likewise, is it possible to host more than one pitboss game on the same machine?

 

[DaveShack]

Yes, you can host and play SP at the same time. I think it is also possible to run two pitboss games, though that gets interesting with the port numbers and with getting civstats to recognize them both.

 

[DaveShack]

Still waiting for that save...

Or, I could just launch another game.

 

[Unionfield]

Sorry, guys, you'll have to restart. I can't get into my hard drive either. It's a cascading failure of all my computer equipment.

I connected but nope, no Victoria

Fixed & restarted.

 

[Tinkerbell]

There is something wrong with me too, could we restart?

Right, uhh, guess you want to know what... ...

Does "I don't like my start" count?

Happy gaming!

 

[James009]

Thanks Dave

lol, no I don't think it counts. Now that we finally got the game going without problems, lets just get going! I'm sure you'll do fine!

 

[HUSch]

My start position is not so lucky then last but also not so bad.
But we haven't got the wheel tech-bonus this time. Also 3 KI are playing, they 've founded their cities.

 

[Domino369]

Lol, I'll be for a bit. I'm a lil busy in my mmo: essenceRO.

 

[peter grimes]

PLayed. Thanks for the charisma, DS

...and thanks for hosting
