We are hoping for a Monday 5th May lift-off for this game. Please make sure your rocket boosters are filling, and your crew have taken their total fun pills!!!

Please note : Poly does not condone the use of artificial supplements to enhance the experience that is Civ!!!

game starting tonight or what??

If things keep going like this, you are going to lose a couple more teams before the game starts. (Every time a new start date is announced there is less enthusiasm on our forum.)

I will do it when I get home tonight - I was way too busy last night (at work too late).

I also mean American time, not NZ time

[RobWorham]

I was able to log in with no problems.

Uhm, we might have a slight problem here. I've never actually used Pitboss before, so I logged in to figure out how this whole thing works anyway (took me a while to figure it out too, maybe there should be a FAQ for this, or is there one and I just haven't found it?), and to play look at our starting situation and play around a bit, then logged out, realised I want to try something else, logged back in again, and ended up with a different Civ! Turns out I accidentally clicked the wrong civ in the Civ selection screen, but it still accepted my password. I tried logging in as a few other civs to check if passwords were working at all, and it seems that you have to explicitly set a password once you're in the game, or anyone can log in. I'm sure this isn't news to most of you, but as a total Pitboss n00b I did not know this, so right now there are 3 civs called Locutus

I saw the starting situation of 2 civs: the one that's presumably ours (both our first and second civ choice were in the game and AFAIK we were never told which one we ended up getting, so I can only assume we got our first choice) and that of one other civ. I made a concerted effort not to even see the starting situation of the third civ I logged in as while testing how this password thing worked, so while that civ now has my name I never actually saw anything but the top-row screen buttons. I don't I remember much of the starting situation of the second civ as the minute I realised what was wrong I logged out, but I did still see it. If this is considered a problem I can withdraw from the game or something...

PAL is in thanks.

[Methos]

We're you able to access civs that have currently logged in? I know I set the password for the Rabbits and at the time, both RB and the Templars had also logged in.

Edit: I'm also a pitboss noob. First time ever to login to this type of game.
