View Full Version : Killer's 5-team game

When going through my save-game folder I was surprised to find the save for the game we played at Killer's place (surprised because I played on my desktop but don't remember actually saving it plus I would have never named the save like that).

So, iirc GrilledBanzai is supposed to start, right?

Here is the save (fixed): icon_paperclip.gif brokeringbuggers.zip (http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Markstar/2005719161959_brokeringbuggers.zip)

Maybe Matrix would be so nice to include this one in the turn tracker as well?

is that the latest save?
I thought you did all the saving though, I expected you to, at the very least :p

I should have the saves on my laptop as I copied the 5 Autosaves immediately into a different folder. But if Markstar has found it and made a PBEM out of it, I won't have to do anything.

I named it like that.[blush2]
Sorry, was drunk.[:p] I should have named it more politely, maybe "balconybrokering".;)
Saving was done at our turn's start on Rik's laptop, but the file is obviously present on every machine.
Guess GrilledBanzai is up then.

IIRC turn order was
GrilledBanzai (Banzai, Grille)
SmallTrix (smalltalk, Matrix)
Markstar
Fartbean_fucks_HAL or similar:D (Beam)
anarchokillers (anarres, Killer)

My e-mail is csgrille[AT]gmx[DOT]de
This would also be my balcony...(=MSM contact)


@Markstar: D/l'ing the file doesn't work. Might want to zip it.:) (edit: or just mail it of course...)

No, I didn't host the game and I thought you can only save when you are hosting. Anyways, it doesn't really seem to matter, the first team (in this case Grille and Banzai) just have to start the PBEM and we are set. [:p]

Btw, I uploaded the save file again, it works now. [coool]

In a few weeks HAL will be history for me, if renaming is possible please leave it out.

Beam: I'm just in the middle of the turn, so you have to live with that.
Edited the other post, just for good measure.

Have to make some shots, then save goes to SmallTrix.
What'll be your address?

edit:
Sent to Matrix.
Have named the game/turn in the usual way:
balconygame058a
SmallTrix will name it
balconygame058b
etc

Since we don't have PWs, only open saves with the "right" letter in it, ok?
And no pressing 'continue' at turn end.

For the people too far away or not interested enough to do a little effort and come to Stuttgart last weekend: All civs are the Iroquois. We have the Yellow Iro's, the Blue Iro's, the Real IRA, the Green Iro's and the Red Iro's.

All started with Alphabet and Pottery; All had identical 21 start tiles; Gold hill with 8 BG's around and then 12 plains. Starts on a river with 2 cattle on the BG's on the river.

Of course all have the same UU: Rik Meleet's [lol]

Sounds good!

Will you be home tonight?
I'd like to pick up my suit!

Beam
20-07-2005, 14:45
I'll be home by 20:00 latest. It isn't a suit btw, just a pair of trousers.

Beam, Stapel, it's your turn! :)

What system do you use to play together, by the way? I find it in practice hard to play together with smalltalk now that we see each other face to face.
I thought the best possible way is that one plays the turn and posts reports and the other comments on it and gives suggestions for the next turn. But that way the turn player is still deciding a lot more on himself.
Another option is that when one player notices the save is in, he checks whether the other is online and available. If so, they play together, both opening the save. (If not he plays alone.) But that's rather laborious.

How do you do it?

Beam
22-07-2005, 02:08
Well, Stapel was here tonight to pick up his trousers and we played the turn together while being sober! We didn't discuss at all how to play it as a team but I'm sure we'll sort something out for that.

Be sure we discussed everybody and everything over a nice chinese dinner. ;)

Stapel
22-07-2005, 11:36
We use the auto-together-gut-feeling-system.

Can't fail :)

Beam

Mailed the sav to anarres couple of days ago (Turntracker was down for me). Where is it atm?

Lt. Killer M
25-07-2005, 11:19
with anarres, then?
could you please also send it to me?

Markstar
25-07-2005, 13:25
How about just using the turn tracker again to see if it works now?

Anar?

Wake up!

Lt. Killer M
29-07-2005, 12:46
erhm, if I got a file I'd have time to play it.....

beam, PLEASE mail it to me, too!

Stapel
29-07-2005, 13:36
Or use turntracker....

anarres
29-07-2005, 16:17
Oh fuck, I knew I missed something this week.....

Killer, I need you to do this for a while - I am moving office this weekend and will be working late tonight and Sat/Sun too. If you don't have the save by late tonight I can forward it on to you.

If you need to chat PM me and I'll see what I can do. :)

Lt. Killer M
29-07-2005, 20:26
Dan, sure can do. can you forward me the save, please? Beam seems to ignore me [wtf]

anarres
30-07-2005, 00:34
sorry, forwared on now.

Markstar
01-08-2005, 23:26
Wow, I see the game is moving again! [jump]

Lt. Killer M
02-08-2005, 11:34
indeed :)


@ ALL: please contact ME via email with all (possible) details of all trades we may have agreed on - I can't even remember half of the shit.

Markstar
04-08-2005, 15:14
Mmh, game apparently is not really moving after all since it's still with GrilledBanzai. [ponder]

Banzai

Oops!
I'll play tonight!

I recommend checking the turn tracker @ http://www.straland.com/turntracker/stuttgart.php on a regular basis. ;)

Turntracker??? whats that??? ;)

Sorry for the delay.

Banzai!

04-08-2005, 22:53
tsk tsk.

none of you (except M;arkstar) has taken up my request.

PLEASE; contact me about deals - anarres did most and he is not available atm :(

Stapel
11-08-2005, 14:26
I will play friday night.

Question:

Beam told me we have some tech deals running. We are researching X, and are supposed to trade it with someone for Y.

I'm affraid that's all I know about it.
Please enlighten me by PM :) .

I've spent a lot of time in it.fucking hell, it's amazing what expererienced civ-players can do when they are drunk.

If it would have only been one plains tile with wine..... irrigated....

anyway, we're on the move again!

Green, red and blue in or near purple's borders. If only the barb would have been yellow ...

Stapel
26-08-2005, 10:29
That green one is mine. Maybe the city it is next to, has no defense in my next turn? A fine reason to put on the pressure ;) .

Any chance we can keep this game moving? What's going on?

Lt. Killer M
21-09-2005, 13:42
erhm, me no have any save! please resend!

Banzai
22-09-2005, 23:54
no need to resend. game was with me and Grille, but I was on holiday and Grille is gone (?)
Turn played and sent.

Enjoying his honeymoon, I suppose. Give the newly-weds some time [ggw2]

Markstar

Well, looks like Matrix is back since I received the turn this morning! [cheerl]

However, we have a little problem - I have some "things" that I shouldn't have (and REALLY don't want to have) and would really like to replay the last turn.

I know, I know, but it should go quicker now, shouldn't it? If you guys want, I could consult further with Rik (as acting admin I guess. ;)).

Edit: Since I don't have the last turn, would be nice if you could resend the last turn, Matrix.
Edit2: Rik, I described the problem further in my spoiler in case you are interested.

Lt. Killer M
02-10-2005, 16:02
I'd say Rik has the final say on this - I am fine with whatever he thinks right. And I trust you, Markstar, so if xyou think it's right, then I go along.

Markstar
03-10-2005, 11:49
Well, looking at the last save it indeed looks like it was my fault, though I do not see how I could have done that in a million years. Plus, usually I at least REMEMBER my screw-ups. Of this I have no recollection whatsoever. But I wasn't drunk recently either so I have no explanation for this. [confused]

Anyways, sent the turn along. :(

Stapel
05-10-2005, 14:20
The mistake is clearly in this:

Was there a good reason not to get drunk?

Matrix

Perhaps you should visit the doctor.

Matrix

I received anarchokillers' turn via the turn tracker. But I see Beam already sent it correctly immediately after.

Damn annoying when no password is asked and you find out it's not your turn. http://www.straland.com/images/smilies/wrongroom.gif

Well, there is not much alcohol I really like (I hate beer and don't fancy wine (except really sweet ones)). I do like cocktails a lot but there just wasn't an occasion for them. [beer1]
