Lots of work. Little time to play. Seems to be able to play only on weekends, and even then sending a reminder is often necessary.

My newly adopted nation says I have to attend civil defence classes for two days this Tuesday and Wednesday. Previous civil defence classes have involved sitting in an uncomfortable chair for four hours listening to lectures and watching other people sleep through them. This will probably be the same except it's two days in an uncomfortable chair and longer sleeping time.
This could work to my advantage. When a crisis strikes I'll be the only one who knows what to do because I actually listened to the lectures. I'll be a national hero!!

Um, yeah. Anyway, I might not be able to take my turns on Tuesday and Wednesday.

hi there folks

just a happy reminder that the Tullamore Dew, a gamers tavern was opened for the sheer chance for us to all to have somewhere to chat about our games, and the admin thread, thus keeping this thread just for annoucements

Paddy

I know your busy

this is a time for a warning though

Plus I owe Rommel2D for being nice when I was a moron for overdueing a 500 post limit to the tune of >10% over

Thanks for your continued cooperation

* The Albatrous Maximus arrives at the Castle of the family Scot, delivering a personal message from Chrisius

/me accepts the message, and organises an ayrie along with fresh food

Ahh excellent, word has arrived folks, Chris has been caught up with a matter known as "real life."

/me wanders of the the library

Hoskins old chap, do we have any details on a subject called "real life"

* Hoskins the Scot comes down a ladder, and goes over to a large set of file drawers

Now my cousin Paddy, looks like we do indeed have some articles on this matter. Lets follow this through down over here.

/me and Hoskins the Scot follow the reference cards to a far corner in the library, taking down a few books and looking up various passages

Here we are Paddy, Real Life - a definition: the place where someone goes when they choose to escape their responsibilities within the World of Apolyton

Is that right matey... this article here by the "Seer Bob Hawke" states it is a place where Knights of the World of Apolyton are sent to chase dragons, rescue damsels, and save the children from boredom.... also he goes on to mention here that non-believers have been known to work very hard to draw people away from that which is true, and leave them washed up upon the rocks of another world....

well heres hoping Chris returns soon

Just a note to let everyone know that within the next 2-3 weeks I may disappear for a little while and not play my turns. My wife is about to have our baby and no matter what the hardcore gamers feel that takes precedence.

I don't know exactly when it will happen (naturally

) but I'll try not to hold up my PBEMs for more than a couple of days.

Aqualung71 · June 6, 2005, 12:14

Great news Rhoth.....good luck with it all. You can come back to civ anytime, but you can't recreate your child's birth

Paddy · June 6, 2005, 12:37

well said indeed.

Kloreep · June 6, 2005, 16:25

Don't worry about it Rhoth, and once again congratulations.

Krill · June 6, 2005, 17:59

Great news

ricketyclik · June 7, 2005, 04:47

congrats, Roth

I'll be doing the same thing mid-August

What, giving birth?

Rhothaerill · June 7, 2005, 12:07

Thanks guys. And congrats ric.

So that's what you were up to when you were gone a few months ago.

I wonder how long it will be until Rommel2d moves all these posts in Tullamore Dew?

Rommel2D · June 7, 2005, 21:38

I think the hint has been dropped. Dropped and punted, that is.

Paddy · June 7, 2005, 23:46

I will have intermittent access over the coming weekend

11th, 12th and 13th of June, Long Weekend Party Time

So probably will not play much civ throughout.

snoopy369 · June 8, 2005, 00:38

I should be pretty good at playing saves from now until 6/23/05, the last day before my vacation. I'll be gone until 7/5/05 or thereabouts - but i'll bring my disc with me, just that i'll be probably 3+ days at a time not playing. (So about normal for me pre-this week

)

Just as long as you play the C3CDG turns

ROFL ... not unless Illinois common-law has shortened a bit recently. (Actually i'm not sure, common law here is pretty short ...) Not in a church anywho.

No, just changed positions recently, and also started Guild Wars, which is winding down for me as most games do of its sort (MMO types).

Going home to see the folks, which is the first time in like 2 years ...

~~Rumble in the Jungle needs a world leader who would like to replace Gamecube as the Zulu.~~

Thanks Chief Ricketyclick

Beta · June 15, 2005, 07:40

I am out of town for the next 3 days at a conference. Back on the weekend. I am a bit behind on some games. My apologies. Will get caught up on Saturday.

Modo44 · June 19, 2005, 14:58

EDIT: No matter.

ChrisiusMaximus · June 19, 2005, 16:00

the save is with Jshelr now Modo

Rhothaerill · June 23, 2005, 18:11

The time is just about here. As of tomorrow my wife will give birth, and my posting here will be sporadic for a while. I'll try not to hold up any saves for too long, but no guarantees.

Rommel2D · June 24, 2005, 19:04

I'm out of my 'Poly office until sometime Sunday.

snoopy369 · June 25, 2005, 12:53

I'm almost certainly not going to be able to play saves until monday at the earliest, and I'm still not sure if i'll be able to play anything until July 5 ... but I'm trying

snoopy369 · June 28, 2005, 02:09

Okay, I have *finally* been able to install C3C (not on this computer, but on one without internet access ... it's complicated and involves disks and constant virus scans as well as personality conflicts

). I have played my IC2 save, other saves will have to wait until tues or weds (possibly longer). But i'll play at least one round of my saves this week, hopefully.

Modo44 · June 29, 2005, 03:17

1. I am leaving tomorrow morning to visit friends. Will probably have access to poly, but definately no access to Civ, so saves will have to wait. I am coming back next Wednesday (6th of July).

2. Looking for a permanent replacement for WW II in Europe (link). StrictlyRockers disappeared on us without a warning, and it has been two weeks now without any word from him. The civ is Spain, which currently has an alliance with the English (that means the Allies), and is about to be invaded by Germany (if I can survive all the battles coming at me, that is

). As I am going away, this replacement can be done either today, or in a week. The game setup looks like this (link).

snoopy369 · June 30, 2005, 11:57

Okay, I've played successfully 2 turns - but having trouble transferring them to the laptop. So, I tried installing on the desktop - and got a weird error about Emulation software that isn't running as far as I can tell... any suggestions please head over here
