Actually it just occured to me that my Monday is Sunday for you guys... so you probably won't be on today, and I won't be around for long tomorrow, so we'll have to put it off until your Tuesday (my Wednesday...).

Sorry folks.

Ok, anyone who reads that post AND understands it should seek counseling immediately!

Thats Aussies for you! I think he must have a time machine

Toni · September 23, 2002, 00:53

Do you mean the setup with the colours?

Actually more the other things - wonders, map. But if we could agree on a tourny colours00.txt that be a good idea too.

I'll repeat the posts to save you the search...

We could speed things up if we took a small map - especially (any actually now I think only...) in 1 vs 1 games...

Even though we have bloodlust off that's actually the only available victory since noone will ally with everyone to let another win and the science victory is not possible because the solaris project can't be build. I'd allow that one.

Another thing is the slaves - no emancipation act means slaves for the whole game - funny thing is, i can't build any abolitionist - so we'll be stuck with them.

By the way the map settings were a very good choice I think. Our map turned out good for everyone. Ok, Maq is going to start complaining about his position again now and call for a restart

Okay, one last change: Repistes moves to Game 4. Dregman wasn't there tonight because of virus problems, but he *can* play tomorrow. Since mkalthoff and Turambar can as well, I suggest you three play tomorrow. Please use this thread (or email or PM) to arrange a time.

Oh, I thought Repistes moved to game 4. Yesterday we had a test game and cmns (funny name) joined during the game (we had no password). I told him about the lemur trophy, but if he doesn't post here, we have no contact info.

Well, Repistes, if you are still in, say something.

Independently, I asked a friend if he'd like to join. We are going to do a little testgame tonight, as he has not played for months. But the tournament game could start on Tuesday evening.
@dregman/Repistes/cmns: Do you have time to play on Tuesday evening (tomorrow)?

Shadow, are you around for a short period tonight? I'd like to knock this game out, even if bit by bit. If you are not available, I guess its going to be: Tuesday night our (TheArsenal & Toni's) time, Wed night Shadow's time. This works for me. Are you available on that night Toni?

This whole thing is starting to sound like a Monty Python sketch.

Damn right! If i post the save on here anyone who sees my position will agree i drew the short straw!

I was looking again at the save last night and your cities were just as undefended as mine Mapfi. If fact that assault on NY you made left the middle of your empire wide open! Shame we didnt continue, that indeed wouldve been close... especially as i noticed around 3 of ETB's cities were totally undefended at the time, and my fascists were marching inwards...

The general map settings worked fine though. I agree on enabling Solaris Project, so i can DEFEND my empire until the end of time. My science is always superior.

.. emancipation act on too. (reluctantly)

Toni · September 23, 2002, 12:49

Yea Arsenal i can make it for tuesday night, too bad that we can't continue tonight, but seems Shadow can't make it for today. I talked with him yesterday and the time set for our game is Tuesday 5pm pacific thats mine time yours Arsenal i think will be 8pm.

Reply if you have any other ideas, i can still play tonight if shadow changes his mind. And yes i will like it too if the game goes faster

see u guys.

And Arsenal why don't u get an icq so that is easier for us to communicate

Toni · September 23, 2002, 12:55

Forgot something and if Shadow can still make it for today, as we had is planned, leave me the time for the game, was it 9eastern ? so that i can meet you guys

Toni · September 23, 2002, 14:09

by the way Guys ( Arsenal & Shadow) if we play tomorrow, it will be better for me if we can start earlier like 3,4pm pacific time? because i have to do something after that and can play only for 3 hours till 7 pm pacific. If thats not ok with u am still available for today and wednesday or everyother day after that.

Shadow · September 23, 2002, 20:37

I think we've got it sorted out... LMAO
Toni, Arsenal, I can still only make it realistically on your Tuesday night (earliest 5pm), on your Wednesday I can start at your 3pm though...

Got that, cool...

Shadow

Toni · September 23, 2002, 21:35

hey Arsenal & Shadow if we play on tuesday shadows (Wensday) 5pm pacific time, i can play only 1 hr then, have some work to do after that, its sucks i know, but thats it, today was the best time, but never mind. I will be free W,Th,F,Sat and Sunday. its up to u guys to make up a time i will be here. But still for tomorrow its only an hour, if you can make it earlier shadow i mean like 3,4 pm pacific that will be cool.

Toni · September 23, 2002, 22:15

Hey Arsenal we agreed with Shadow to play tomorrow, hope u can buddy. We have to meet 4pm pacific time in nl lobby. Any question just post here so that we see them, see u then

Maquiladora · September 24, 2002, 02:28

It just crossed my mind that I cant win the Apolyton Store discount now can I?

fudge Or how will the next phase of the tournament unfold now some people have gone missing?

dregman · September 24, 2002, 03:59

i can play toniht but it will be after 8 o clock holland time

Shadow · September 24, 2002, 08:10

Maq, perhaps there should be a time limit between games, with a minimum of 1 session per week. Anyone breaks the timing rules and they're disqualified.

Any thoughts...? Loc, anybody...?

4pm is too early. I can get make it 5:00-5:20 PST earliest. I have a job and what not. Otherwise, sounds good. See you tonight.

Toni · September 24, 2002, 13:57

Hey Shadow seems Arsenal can make it 5pm pacific, sounds good, then we continue today, thats our tuesday your Wensday shadow, we will meet 5pm pacific in nl lobby ok guys, but i can play only for 2 hours.

And yes i agree with Shadow that there must be some rules for how much can we play per week, more often the better. or games will take forever.

this is a good idea. every tournament has an exact time schedule. I think, we should not make the schedule too strict, but one session min. per week sounds ok. Or, as somebody else said here, we will still play easter.
Perhaps we can test different durations or so in future tournaments.

Maquiladora · September 24, 2002, 15:38

Im not sure about forcing people to play at certain times. Some might just decide that they cant make it and pull out of the tournament, which is something we dont want right now.

Frankly though, anyone who cant make at least one planned session a week shouldnt have entered the tournament.
The current system works pretty well if everyone is commited to playing and ready to kick some arse

If someone cancells again and again but you still have 3 players present, just go ahead and play.

mazzz · September 24, 2002, 16:20

id like to sign up for a game.....

mazzz · September 26, 2002, 20:49

Wise Ass · September 27, 2002, 00:25

I'd like to play...

Oh wait I am already on a team :|

mkalthoff · September 27, 2002, 10:59

@dregman/Repistes: Scooter and I have a lot of time this weekend. When do you want to play?
@locutus:Can mazzz join our game (Game5)?

TheArsenal · September 27, 2002, 11:46

Toni, Shadow . Gentlemen, I crashed out of the game right after my last turn.

So I haven't had a chance to discuss the next game time. Monday? Same time? Let me know.

Locutus · September 27, 2002, 12:04

mkalthoff & dregman (& mazzz),
Repistes let me know he's no longer in the Tourney, mazzz can replace him.

Locutus · September 27, 2002, 12:14

Haupt. Dietrich, Oerdin & Wise Ass,
Your team is the only one which is not making any kind of progress in getting a game started. What's the deal? I will once again try to suggest a time when you guys could play - please either confirm that you can make this time or suggest a better time. If you just say 'no can do' but don't suggest an alternative you'll never get this rolling...

I suggest Sunday 29 September at 15:00 EST/12:00 PST. Please respond ASAP...

Wise Ass · September 28, 2002, 00:24

I am good with that. The others haven't really been around. I PMed Oerdin a while ago but no reply
