Mauer/Robb/Rik planning and Open thread

[mauer]

What did we decide on? Duel, pangea, no AI, I'd take Gilgamesh or Charlewhatshisname.

[Robboo]

Ok When I get home I will let you know.

[Rik Meleet]

I'll play -if Robb let's me.

[mauer]

I think I'll go ahead and lock in gilgamesh.

[Robboo]

Sure Rik..want a 3 person game mauer?

[mauer]

All war sounds good, I can set it up tomorrow if you guys want to give me your emails and civ choices. Any other settings? How about the .... what're they called...the pop up things. Good grief I can't think of it. When caves collapse, vermin infestations and the sort. Barbs?

[Robboo]

mauer..you have my email. I want Wang Kon.

Preemtive spam...Robboo likes playing with wang....

[Robboo]

mauer..you have my email. I want Wang Kon. Pre-emptive spam...Robboo likes playing with wang....

Barbs...no preference. Random events...no preference. Do what ever gives you an advantage. You and Rik will need it.

I'll be Charlemagne.

[Robboo]

OK cool. We set to go. Do the size above dual since its three of us. Unless you want to wait for Casey to work on pitboss???

[mauer]

Doesn't matter to me. I'm getting ready to head out for a meet and greet with the boy's new teacher, so let me know. I have no problem with a PBEM and Casey's pitboss. I'll probably have a pitboss opening soon if my neighbor in one of my games ever decides to roll on.

[Robboo]

[mauer]

So are we going on with the PBEM?

[Robboo]

OK ..sorry I havent played it yet. Life blew up or threw up last night. Promise to play tonight, roughly 6 to 8 hours from this post. Unless I am drunk Since it my last day at work here...in which case tomorrow.

robbeaux AT gmail DOT com.

[Rik Meleet]

played my turn.
Mauer - what emailaddress do you want me to send it to ?

Question: how do I know what SMTP Server I have? If I know that than the save can be send from within the game.

[mauer]

Email is coodaddy77 AT embarqmail Dot com

My SMTP is SMTP.earthlink.net Although I think my ISP changed through a buy out, so I don't know how long that will work. Can't get SMTP.embarqmail.com or .net to work.

[Rik Meleet]

I might need to upgrade to BtS 3.03, but this game is still in 3.02.
Are you ok with upgrading to 3.03?

[mauer]

doesn't bother me either way. I don't know how to do it though.

It's easy.
Go here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=6185
Click on "Download file". (81 MB in size).
When it is downloaded - double click the downloaded file and follow on-screen instructions.

But let's wait for Robboo - if he can't uograde to 3.03 then we won't.

[Robboo]

I am upgraded and playing the game. I dont know if you have to upgrade the PBEM games. I will double check on the next save which I think is in my mail box now.

[mauer]

Hm, I actually am already upgraded to 3.03. I made the game, so it should be set up that way as well. are you sure it isn't Rik?

[Robboo]

it played for me unde both versions... so its no big deal.

[Rik Meleet]

ok, then I'll upgrade to 3.03

[mauer]

I'm just about ready to start demanding advanced starts in PBEM's. Especially one with multiple players. Enter....Enter....Enter....Enter..etc times what seems to be infinity

[Robboo]

I had an issue with teh save. yall see if this happens to you.

Check anything in the main menu such as tech path and I crash to desktop. 3 times so I played teh save with out clicking it. If it continues I may have to just play with out that which sucks. Doesnt do it on any other turns or games but this one. I am hoping it a one time deal. i will check the next save and restart my computer to ewrase any memory leak problems.

[mauer]

very odd, I'll check when Rik sends the next one

[Robboo]

forgot to check it ths turn...no problem other than that...so we will see

[Rik Meleet]

functions (like F6 - techpath) work fine. no crashing.

[mauer]

Dang, we've been playing this freaking game for almost a year now!?!?

Geez, so how about a small update...... I've captured one of rob's cities and destroyed another. Rik is a bastard.....that about covers it.

[Robboo]

yep I am hanging on waiting for a death blow...BUT i wont be a easy kill. It sucks to be pressed between two foes while they both only have one front.
