Strong players wanted, 10 city, 2 wonder max

Narz · March 26, 2003, 22:08

I haven't played in quite awhile except one game. I want to get about four people (including myself) together for a game. I am pretty flexable on most of the specs (King, Emp, Diety all ok, barbarian level doesn't matter, land mass whatever, world size : medium or large).

When I play I tend to build tons of cities and wonders as fast as I can. I find this strategy works pretty well but it kind of takes the fun out of the game trying to manage 73 cities. So to make things most interesting and challanging for all involved I figured we could agree on a cap of 10 cities, this does not include cities gained by conquest or bribery.

Also, just two wonders each (maybe three, we can work out the details). Oh yeah, and before we all play the first time it'd be good if we could agree on a time to meet again and continue the game, that way it wouldn't just die out over time like so many I've played. Anyone down?

Oh yeah, and 1x1.

deity · March 26, 2003, 23:30

1x1x.. Yes!

Make contact and see if we can work out a time slot - we had difficulty before

jes · March 27, 2003, 14:31

good idea, narz; i played some games before with only 10 cities, great games! if we find a time slot, im in

Narz · March 27, 2003, 15:54

Yes, I apologize again for my inconsistancies before Diety. What time slot is good for your guys? Are weekends best, or evenings, we have to keep in my the time differences so when stating the best times for you, use your local & standard GMT time.

Pretty much any time this Saturday is good to start 10AM-midnight (2AM-4PM GMT).

We don't always have to play on the same set time each week as long as we can all agree at the end of our each session the best time for everyone.

Please state your preferences for game start time.

1 x 1 ......boring

Narz · March 28, 2003, 01:02

StratKing :
Some also say chess is boring and reading books takes too long, to these people I say "why waste your time posting in this thread!"

Would you go to a job interview for a job you didn't want (and probably didn't qualify for

) just to say that the job didn't appeal to you?

Anyway, any other serious players out there?

atawa · March 28, 2003, 05:52

Sounds like an interesting idea, I'll join if I can make the time.

Makeo · March 28, 2003, 17:31

Me too. I've blown my knee out so have lots of time on my hands.

winzity · March 28, 2003, 21:58

You look to be a very interesting person!

I will join your game if you use folloeing settings:

diety 1x1x random world. And I prefer we use RAH's rules including no free host techs.

I am very flexible on time so it don't matter much, but a resonable play time for me is between noon GMT to midnight GMT on saturdays. Other days are equally good for me. I can start tomorrow if you want

Just ICQ me!

I see forward to meet you!

deity · March 28, 2003, 23:53

I could play around USA Eastern Sat dinner time = 6pm
That's Sunday breakfast in Aussie

With an avatar like that how could you NOT blow out your knee!

Keep it up and we might find ourselves in a game again

That would be 2am sunday morning in Holland, either I'm drunk or not home yet

Narz · March 29, 2003, 05:45

Thanks winzity, your settings are fine with me.

Seems like it may not work for tommorrow, perhaps its for the best, I should probably get out and do something in the wordl for a change

Hmm, perhaps Sunday eve. then.. but I suppose Sunday eve here (in Califronia) is the middle of the night in Europe and Monday morning in Austalia...

This will be a difficult one to work out. I do want to make this happen though, its great to see so many people interested and like I said its been a long time since I've been involved in a serious MP game.

Sunday I won't be back home until around 6-6:30pm (2-2:30AM GMT). However, I am pretty flexable during the week, almost anytime should be good except Monday & Tuesday nights (early AM Tues & Wed GMT).

Still if we can work it out for tommorrow... perhaps 4 or 5pm EST, or would that still be too early for you Diety and too late for Atawa?

Keep me "posted"

(I am easily amused this evening).

winzity · March 29, 2003, 06:49

but you have to wait around 3 hours after you are home. I means we start 6 am GMT (on european monday morning). I have ICQ Atawa, and asked him to post here. If we start today so late we can not play so long, but we can start... I like to play, with good players!

atawa · March 29, 2003, 06:57

I can only play on sundays and weekday evenings (gmt+1).

winzity · March 29, 2003, 07:07

european nites(1 AM GMT to 6 AM GMT, is not good buz I need to sleep). A serious MP game is going one session/week, and it's hard to play on the nite one time/week.

Sunday is a good day to play, but I don't know if diety is interested in Atawa's suggested playtimes. They are fine to me!

deity · March 29, 2003, 17:41

Those times won't work for me...

I'll check back later. Game could be a ripper.

winzity · March 30, 2003, 03:53

Hi! I have much to do today so, I will not be logged on until around 10 PM GMT. I hope I will see you online at that time so we can start playing. As I understand Diety will not join this game. Maybe I can found another good player. I will ICQ some now...

Please post here if you want to join!

Narz · March 30, 2003, 04:33

I will be unavailable tommorrow (Sunday) afternoon (morning-5pm) Pacific time (-9 GMT I believe). However during the week I will have alot of time, I am out of work right now and except for Monday and Tuesday evening I will be pretty flexable.

I hope we can play soon!

Narz · March 30, 2003, 04:36

I am speaking to Winzity now and we are thinking perhaps it would be better to have two MP games instead of one. Getting a perfect time for Europe/America/Austalia all at once may be difficult. Please share your thoughts and the times you are available to play.

roderick · March 31, 2003, 13:27

that sounds like an excellent idea.

cazzie · March 31, 2003, 23:52

Ditto.

deity · April 1, 2003, 07:58

So much for my advice!

Narz · April 1, 2003, 20:05

Diety, what was your advice?

cazzie · April 3, 2003, 03:44

Deity's advice?

If you are a newbie and want to get to be a better Civ player, run with the wolves?

Narz · April 3, 2003, 05:06

So, is this going down or what? No one is posting their availability... like I said, my scedule is very open so I can probably accomadate most times, but I need to hear from everyone else...

atawa · April 3, 2003, 17:03

Best for me are weekday evenings (gmt+1) and sunday afternoons (most of them)

Any other time I'm either working or getting some other form of relaxation

Narz · April 6, 2003, 19:15

Well, I don't think I'm ever gonna get the crowd I hoped for so if you are able to play within the next eight hours from this post e-mail me : narz@narzwarz.com. Or send me an ICQ messege : 162893046

- Narz

If I can get at least two other players, its on!

Narz · April 6, 2003, 19:44

I am starting a regular Civ II in about 20 minutes (from this post). If you want to join, come onto ICQ
