Immigrants from EVO - sign in!

Eivind IV · August 31, 2006, 07:44

Ok, I don't know how many made it over, but I'd like to settle here and prosper at Apolyton once again. Let's make this our PBEM HQ from now on.

Sign in if you survived the trip over.

reporting in for new pbems.

i´m willing to give it a shot...

EmuGod · August 31, 2006, 09:44

Hi all!

Eivind IV · August 31, 2006, 14:01

Great. Let's hope they all find the way over. I really prefer this over the new site to be honest. If I remember correctly, we don't even have to zip the files here.

Voltar · August 31, 2006, 14:50

Im around and about here to...

ISeeALL · September 1, 2006, 10:43

Hi..
so, what scenario/game will you be playing? I'd like to join..

Bostero · September 1, 2006, 12:46

reported in here!!!

well, evo games suffered a database crash. i told this to alejandro via MSN as well. i don't know what's happening????. EVO staff is improving the site as well.

btw:

let me you to introduce this guy named "IseeAll". i played a ww2( traditional) pbem with him. there is a thread about that.

IseeAll: sorry to don't tell you about the scens. i wanted to contact you once Evo game forum was available again.
i comment you. Eivind IV, is the most productive scenario designer together with Academia.
we use to play the scenarios

we play their scens, we enjoy pbems with them.

good luck.

academia · September 1, 2006, 13:10

well, i think that this is the big question:
did we lose all the savegames from our pbems?

can we keep on playing them? or should we start new ones?

Bostero · September 1, 2006, 13:30

i do have my savegames saved on my computer. my last turns. i guess you too. we should upload the scens once again.

anyways we should contact Rebel, Saladin, Blanco, Typhon and Eurisko when he is back again, to go on.
i'd like to finish the Nwo order pbem, the colonialism. ( both are very advanced ). and start the blessed bk1936 last patch of eivind. i would like to test it.

let's rebuild all again.

Thanks a lot! I'll test the scenarios for sure. I understand you have started a game on some other site and haven't yet moved all of the saves to this forum. So, I guess I'll wait until it's up to see how it is going.

EmuGod · September 1, 2006, 20:13

Saladin is looking to start a PBEM of his new Napoleon scenario so maybe tat can be started here.

Eivind, just out of curiosity, wheren't you Kobra here on apolyton?

Bostero · September 1, 2006, 21:31

we have to decide over this, what about a high council over MSN to settle this matter

RobRoy · September 1, 2006, 21:51

Greetings, EVO-lved ones. Welcome back!

Don't mean to intrude if y'all are a semi-private group. But as someone who's recently "come back" to the purity and elegance of CivII, I'd like to invite anyone interested to consider Kull's Seeds of Greatness scenario.

We're trying to start a second game, in which the Barbarian Wrath variant will actually work. And we're currently conducting a test to confirm that everything works right in hotseat mode (results are positive, so far).

If you'd like to check it out, join our test game. The "test" will continue until we have seven confirmed. We thought we were at or close to seven a couple of times, but real life keeps interfering with our avocation. It's very casual, we're still hashing out what, if any, house rules to apply as part of the test, so if you just want to investigate whether this scenario is your cup of tea, you can do so without any long-term commitment. But we think you'll get hooked.

Eivind IV · September 2, 2006, 09:18

I'm very pleased to see that we are this many already. And welcome to the new faces! I too have all my last save games on my computer, so we should be able to continue where we left off, more or less.

I'd like to continue the Colonialism game Academia, Dario, Rebel, Eurisko and I were playing. We seem to need a new England now though, that Eurisko has gone AWOL.

And I'd like to continue the La Belle Epoque scenario that we were playing. The one where Tojo justc ame into office in Japan.

Also we were about to restart a 1936 scenario as well. We may however start a new one here if you wish to join. If there's interest I can make a little patch to improve some things.

Eivind IV · September 4, 2006, 04:43

Colonialsim thread created here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...87#post4575952
-1 England player needed

Belle Epoque thread created here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=156937
-1 Italian player needed (maybe a British one as well if Blanco doesn't show up soon)

People shouldn't hesitate to open threads themselves. I just opened 'my' PBEMs now.

Lord rebel · September 4, 2006, 07:06

Ok, I´m finally in

However not has rebel, somebody has it already

so now I´m Lord Rebel, my friends call me that lattely...

Eivind IV · September 4, 2006, 08:14

Brilliant! Welcome to the forum!

Patine · September 4, 2006, 08:30

I'm here. Ready to try another one (hopefully not with a cannon-fodder country this time).

Eivind IV · September 4, 2006, 08:34

Nice to see you here as well. We're now a growing pbem community of 10 people. Congrats!

As already mentioned, once Saladin comes over, he need someone to test his Napoleon scenario.

Also, please post here if you're interested in restarting the Bk1936 scenario that we got a couple of turns into at EVO. Anyone can volounteer, as many of the ones who where in it are now gone.

Blitzkrieg 1936 PBEM thread created here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=156944

First person to claim the civ gets it.

@Academia:
You should open the NWO PBEM thread so you guys can continue that. People seem eager to continue.

Patine · September 4, 2006, 08:53

I'd be interested in Bk1936 if Japan's open.

academia · September 4, 2006, 13:00

@Academia:

yep. i´ll open it later today.

btw, it seems that we´ll need a replacement for denis as russia... anyone interested??

Arthedain · September 4, 2006, 13:43

Reporting in.. allthough I'm picky in my PBEM choosings.

Edit: Looking forward to continue NWO!

Eivind IV · September 4, 2006, 15:41

An extremely belated and highly reluctant Typhoon here.

Eivind IV · September 5, 2006, 06:47

Glad to see you here, Typhoon. The Belle PBEM is linked above.

And CurtSibling was kind enough to make a news item on the main civ2 site about this new boost of life to the Apolyton PBEM section! Check it out:

Straybow · September 10, 2006, 22:58

I guess this is as good a place as any to ask.

What happened at EVO?

Bostero · September 11, 2006, 23:58

Hi Straybow,

EVO server crashed due to a critical and unexpected failure. Using the same forum again wouldn't guarantee us nothing. For that reason, the Administrator changed to Strategamer.com servers. which is more advanced, improved and safe!! BUT, for some reason, Eivind IV started a campaign to migrate and use Apolyton for our pbems instead of the new site. i think because this site is more popular and, it has an old tradition with Civ2. anyways, we are here....

Nilat · September 18, 2006, 13:36

I am for about 1-2 PBEMs. No more, no less. I've been checking out how much free time I have every day and I think I can handle 2 at most at the present moment.

EDIT: Providing of course you will let me participate in any PBEM due to my history of inconsistency...
