    I have tons of people on my ICQ list who at one time or another I have played Civ II with. And I would love to clean some of them out... But I also thought it would be interesting to see who is still playing Civ II MP.
    Keep on Civin'

    Good Idea Ming.
    How about when people post, they list what days/times they usually play? With the new time feature here, it's now easier to figure out when "when" is relative to your own time zone.

    I still play a couple of times a week.

    Fridays and Saturday eveneings.
    (see setting up IP games if interested)

    And some other nights preceding days off.

    I'd love to say "every once in a while" but facts are facts. Haven't played in a couple months.

    Would like to become a Saturday night regular, but RL keeps getting in the way. Having the same problem with my golf game. Guess my priorities are just all screwed up.

    Yes, when trolling for games, I have received a few ICQs back from others saying that you weren't there.
    So I guess the little mice do play when the cat is away.

    I play when I have the time, but mostly weekends with the occasional foray on weeknights.

    Once I "get out" and get a real life, then perhaps my schedule will change for the better and I can get down to what's important, Civ and Diplomacy.

    Sick

    I think my priorities are all skew whiff - I'd rather play than say, apply for promotion

    I play just about every week with whoever is around.

    The only restriction is I only play at night after 9pm.

    Unless I'm sick or on holidays and Mrs Horse is at work

    I think this is an obsession rather like chess or cards for some other people.
    Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

    Look, I just don't anymore, okay?

    My greatest wish is to be half the poster MikeH is.

    i don't play anymore. spending that much time engaged in losing seems counterproductive

    maybe i'll get some free time and play again after interest rates go up

    I'll play any settings, but my time available has shrunk badly.
    Mostly Friday or Saturday nights, sometimes.
    Sunday afternoon, sometimes.

    I very rarely play CivIIMP these days. Not having internet access on your work doesn't help either. All internet traffic is blocked on my work, except email and that is scanned/ screened too -nothing gets in, nothing gets out-.

    So on the Civ front my situation is thus:

    Civ2 Scenarios? Yes!
    There are plenty of topnotch scenarios left to play and as long as Freeciv doesn't offer fullblown scenarios I'll continue to use Civ2.

    MP? not much
    Cvi2MP really dropped to the wayside for me. Freeciv is taking up more and more of my time. Not playing perse but more as a betatester and contributor.
    Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

    I'll bite.

    I like the idea of MP, but I don't feel I can commit the time.

    Also, I hate the feeling of screwing up repeatedly, which I'm sure will happen on the first few tries. Not just the playing screwups, but the screwing up of the mechanics of MP

    So I will live up to my title to the left of these lines, for now.
