Yes

digger: et me the save within working time during the week or early evening and there is an excellent chance I can play it.

If NOT I can play it late at night.

hmmm were to slot you in...

1. 09:00-12:00 (GMT)
2. 13:00-16:00 (GMT) or
3. 21:30-23:00 (GMT)

how about the early slot then... 09:00am-12:00 (GMT)

Lt. Killer M · 28-05-2003, 10:50

digger: I cannot guarantee any of these slots. usually I can play all three. Give me the first one - that one I can 'make' work a bit better than number 3.

where is cruise....

can you please post your email and playing time...the Dr Alimentado can sort out the map for us...and we'll be ready to go next week.

Matrix · 28-05-2003, 21:10

My guess is he's very busy on the moment finishing everything in the US and preparing to go back to his beloved mothercountry

, so give him some time to reply...

In any case, I happen to know him by person and he's got quite some experience with MP games in common so I'm sure he's very reliable.

DrAlimentado · 28-05-2003, 21:18

are you going for random civs? If you sort some map prefs out and post a map request I'll set to it. (I'll read this thread anyway but make a map thread just to humour me

)

Cruise · 28-05-2003, 22:00

Ok

I will be online a lot, once i get back home and have everything installed again. My playing times will be 10:00-11:30GMT and 16:00-23:00GMT most of the time. (16-18 most likely)
The email i will use is a.kruize@student.rug.nl

digger760 · 29-05-2003, 09:13

ok i'll put you in after matrix and before erikk, that'll give you 17:00 to 18:30 to play if the turn comes your way.

Crikey organising this was a bit stressful, peoples time slots are a bit tight, now i know why 8 player games don't do to well.

If we get a turn in a day we'll be doing well. A turn every second not too bad.. hopefully no slower than that.

By the way except for Matrix ...i have seen all of us online around 21:00GMT on the odd occasion...so there could be a small chance we can organise some kind of power session. Although in my exeprience turns takes me 5 mins to play a quick turn, so eight of us at that speed would take 40 mins to get around to everyone.

digger760 · 29-05-2003, 09:21

These will be the settings
Patch: 1.21
Difficulty: Emperor (we want tech to come a bit faster and the barbs not to cause to much hassle)
Map: Pangea 80% land. 5 billion years, standard size.
All civs random.

Playing order:
digger760
Lt Killer
Melifluous
Matrix
Cruise
Erikk
Anarres
Wildfire

Game to start next week.

If there is no objection to this by 09:00 GMT Friday 30th, then i will post the request to the map makers.
