Good luck gents....let's have fun!
This is the tracking thread for the Trial by Trait - Team PBEM, in which 3 teams of 2 players will endeavour to pool their resources and exploit their individual traits to the best advantage of their team and out-civ their powerful opponent teams in any way possible (within ethical guidelines!).
Players, teams and civs in play order are:
MrWhereItsAt GMT+12 (Rome) - granvisimo at student dot vuw dot ac dot nz (phew!)
Aqualung71 GMT+8 (Carthage) – akwalung71 at yahoo dot com
Krill GMT (Arabia) – chris at jackos dot f2s dot com
Kloreep GMT-6 (Persia) – ben at surveypoint dot com
1889 GMT-7 (Babylon) – klemnrussell at cableone dot net
Longshot GMT-8 (Greece) – bapess at adelphia dot net
Game setup: C3C 1.22, standard size map, pangea, 70% water, regent difficulty, roaming barbs, climate/temperature/age random. All victory conditions apply except for regicide, elimination, VP scoring, etc. Cultural conversions and SGL’s are on. Culturally linked start locations are on (fingers crossed).
Communications: Unlimited between partners from the start. It’s acceptable to direct an opposing player in the early game in order to meet you so you can trade, etc. However, specific detailed map information is not to be traded until available in-game.
Other Etiquette: General guidelines as used in the Iron Civer tournament to be followed regarding exploits, except that team members are expected and encouraged to co-operate any way they can within the guidelines. Gifting of cities is allowed, however this must not result in teleporting units (same rule for gifting to a team-mate).
The first save will be sent shortly. Totally random map, no meddling or tweaking so don't blame me!

So if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste

You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.
4000 BC continues on to 1889
Over to Platapus Rex
Do you believe in Evil? The Nefarious Mr. Butts
The continuing saga of The Five Nations
A seductress, an evil priest, a young woman and The Barbarian King
My idea of unlimited contact between team partners from the start of the game included sending each other screenshots of the map - any objections to this? (haven't done it yet).

I like it. I was thinking about it earlier, but decided against it since the others would not know. If everyone knows we can do it, though...

I figured the no-map-trading-till-Nav applied to teammates as well, but no objection if we make an exception.

anti steam and proud of it
CDO ....its OCD in alpha order like it should be
Danger Will Robinson!
PRex - you sent me your save instead. I didn't realist until I had already opened it, so I have seen your start surroundings.However, I had not looked at the minimap, so I still don't know WHERE you are.
Please resend...

Ok, in the absence of any objections, I hereby declare it's acceptable to send your team partner screen shots.

what I do wrong so I wont repeat it
Here is what I did
I opened it, played, hit save and exit using the same file name given to me.
I thought it was that simple
getting ready to reopen and do it again, good thing I kept it

I'd suggest everyone keep all their saves going back at least a few turns. Personally I keep all of mine, but I wouldn't ask anyone else to, especially a PBEM slut like Paddy.
MWIA, are you where it's at, so to speak?

When I went to reload the game
I get file may be corrupt, will not load
It worked fine the first time
So you need 1889 to re-send? Or did you get the save off to WIA before that?
Just getting ready to contact for resend
thanx
I'm a bit confused at all this, but I am watching if anyone wants me to resend anything anywhere...Originally posted by Platypus Rex

Hate to spoil the fun, but I am still getting the corrupt file error message.
I know it sucks to restart. Go ahead
Dont include me till I get this straightened out.
maybe I will check in from time to time to see how things are going.
Happy Civ'n
Are you sure you want out PRex? It would be a shame, just because of a single corrupt file (and that could be because you are attempting to load it in the wrong version of C3C). Also, it would mean we would need to remake the game without you.
Please reconsider.
1889 - maybe you could try to resend the file to PR again. I don't really want to have to restart. In any case, 3 teams with 5 players doesn't work according to my maths!

Here it is again. Maybe some others could try it too and figure it out.
If Platapus Rex has to leave, I know some other interested players so we are back to six.
Good luck Rex.
I will give it one last try
I will keep you posted
Update
When I try to download, All I get is a done message, but no file

That sounds like a computer problem, not a problem with C3C. I hate to ask the obvious question, but you sure you saved it in the right directory?

Platypus - I have downloaded that file and emailed it to you. Hopefully this means you can stay in the game, and we can get moving.
I never get promted for a location.
I have been dragging and dropping to the right drive and save folder
I click on the load game, select the right game
guess what...file may be corrupt
continue without me, sorry to all
I was trying to set up a WWII game with Platapus Rex and Longshot. That game is off, but Longshot said he would like to fill in here.
I'll email him and he should pick up the game very soon.
Sorry to hear that, PRex.Originally posted by Platypus Rex

I've been asked to take over for Platypus Rex as the Greeks.
Send my turns to bapess at adelphia dot net.
Turn sent to MrWhereItsAt -

errr, so how do you play this game again?
Sorry you had to pull out PR....let us know when you've worked out / sorted out your problem and we'll get another game going.
Welcome Longshot, to the Trial by Trait Team game!
