Something came up. I have to be at my gd-mother in law funeral at the end of the week. Saturday is out for me. Sunday should be ok.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

CapTVK · October 4, 2000, 00:31

Well, I could plan for sunday morning 6:00 (or 7)am CET (better not make it late this saturday night

).
How about you SF?

SmartFart · October 4, 2000, 04:35

No problem. I'll be there. If 06.00 CET means one bonus hour of Civ,lets play then.

See you guys on sunday.

arii · October 5, 2000, 22:48

I am still away for that funeral and won't be home until saturday very late at night, so a saturday night session is not possible for me. A session afternoon CET or evening CET should be ok.

SmartFart · October 6, 2000, 21:34

You mean sunday afternoon (CET)?

I agree if we have at least 3 hours of gaming. Anything less is frustrating,because i have to cancel all social events on sunday. I don't like an idea to play one hour and spend the rest of the day watching TV

CapTVK?

CapTVK · October 8, 2000, 00:33

Online really early because he didn't check the MP forum saturday and thought the game was supposed to start at 6

I'm afraid i can't be available this sunday afternoon. I had planned other things to do, so the chances are slim squeezing that into my schedule at the last moment.

Next weekend perhaps?

arii · October 8, 2000, 01:37

Finally home. Next week then.

CapTVK · October 13, 2000, 15:09

Well, the weekend is nearly upon us, Saturday or Sunday? Saturday afternoon CET or perhaps an early start on sunday morning? (6:00 CET).

Give me an offer.

arii · October 14, 2000, 01:34

Saturday morning is fine with me up to 10:45 us ct. Saturady late evening or sunday morning is also fine with me.

SmartFart · October 14, 2000, 04:20

Sunday superearly start,06.00 CET. I'll be there.

SmartFart · October 17, 2000, 01:23

Early morning start turned out into disaster on my side.
As soon as my wife awaked,she started to complain and i lost my nerves very soon. We had quite a quarrel in fact.
CapTVK...could you make it one evening,say about 20.00 CET or later?

We also had an interesting session where Arii built GL and Aztecs STWA. With GW and Lighthouse in his hands i have no options but defense. 2 minor cities of mine are destroyed,fortified vet pike should take down 1 vet crusader,but so far i hadn't much luck.
No matter. Aztecs doing just fine.

Looking forward to next session.

arii · October 17, 2000, 13:29

I'm going to have a fairly beasy weekend since we are currently looking for a house and my mother in law is in town. So I'll need advance notice. The times that I'm pretty sure I'll be able to play is friday late night, saturday late night.
Good session although short this sat evening: smart was late and could only play 1h30.
The only progress I made was the building of the GL and some minor sqirmishes with the aztechs. Hope we can get a longer session next time.

DaveV · October 17, 2000, 13:55

SmartFart - I calculate a fortified vet pike at 2 * 1.5 (pike bonus) * 1.5 (vet bonus) * 1.5 (fortified bonus) = 6.75. Vet crusader is 7.5 - sounds like a losing proposition to me.

Sorry for the interruption. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

SmartFart · October 18, 2000, 03:34

Isn't pike bonus *2 instead *1.5 against 4 legged units?

If so,final result is 9 instead of 6.75

DaveV · October 18, 2000, 09:39

CapTVK · October 18, 2000, 14:44

I certainly could make it an evening session when planned in advance. This saturday at 20:00 CET is fine, the coming saturday I take?

Hope your wife didn't put you on probation .

arii · October 20, 2000, 00:31

Saturday afternoon is typically beasy for me but I should be able to play after 2:30pm that's 19:30CET I believe, for 3-4h.

arii · October 20, 2000, 00:32

oups that's 21h30 CET. I might be able to be free earlier but am not sure.

arii · October 20, 2000, 10:15

Actually saturday afternoon won't work for me. I can play friday night after 10pm, sat morning ( I don't mind getting up at 6:00am) up to 11 am, saturday night after 9-10pm sunday morning up to 11am.

CapTVK · October 20, 2000, 14:36

Perhaps this sunday?

arii · October 20, 2000, 23:19

Sunday morning is ok with me until 11am. I'll be looking at houses in the afternoon.

SmartFart · October 21, 2000, 00:03

I've made some negotiations with my lady and i can play sunday morning 07.00 CET. I'll be away on saturday,friday already passed.

How about that?

DaveV: are you sure pikemen haves *1.5 bonus defense against quadripedes? Did you tested this out? What other stuff are incorrect in civilopedia/manuals?

CapTVK · October 21, 2000, 09:15

This sunday at 7:00 CET in the morning,it's decided then.

SF,

Did you have to pay much tribute?

arii · October 21, 2000, 20:46

So that's 12:00 am for me. I'll be there.

CapTVK · October 22, 2000, 10:25

For some reason I wasn't able to dial in to my ISP. I could call to my ISP but it wouldn't let me log on. I tried it several times this morning hour but it just didn't work. I've just managed to get online.

Sorry about not being there

SmartFart · October 26, 2000, 01:37

I wont be available this weekend. Next one perhaps?

CapTVK · October 26, 2000, 15:07

That's okay, it will give me some time to check out Captain Nemo's 2ndfront scenario.

CapTVK · November 3, 2000, 16:52

Due to extreme hardware failure I'm unable to continue the game. Just today my HD totally gave up the ghost, attempts to rescue it ended in vain. While I did manage to keep backups of my essential files, Civ2MP wasn't one of them.

I'll probably have to rebuild my PC this weekend which will take time, patience and nerves. There won't be much time for civ2.

So I hereby withdraw from the game and leave the final fight to SF and Ari. Good luck with the game guys. You're both excellent players, both of you deserve to be winners.

If i remember correctly there's still a tie possible with the present winner. Give it all you've got SF!

SmartFart · November 3, 2000, 19:32

No prob. Hope you'll fix your hard drive soon.

No possible tie. Nappy beat me in a duel so it's a battle for 3rd place between Arii and myself.

Arii: any suggestions? New duel or continue without CapTVK's civ?

cavebear · November 4, 2000, 16:21

SmartFart and Arii, you should continue with the current Tourney game. Just consider that Cap's Civ is automatically in 3rd place.
