  • Is 21:00 UTC Friday (9:00 pm)

    2:00 pm Friday Mountain time
    Yes, that's correct.
    For timeconverting, just go to google and search for: "wikipedia mountain time" (fill in any timezone) and wikipedia will tell you how that time translates into UTC!

    • It's looking pretty obvious that it's Friday 2300 UTC - more or less the HOTW5 slot

        • deity, we have 13 confirmed places and players. who have you excluded of our players that are willing and able cause it doesnt fit firaxis 12 player limit? as we were 14 atm when you set up the pitboss thing that means you've excluded 2 tribes. who's tribes is that if I may ask?

          and what is the damn deal with this pitboss thing? why do we want it? direct ip worked decently enough with HOTW5 towards the end, why cant we continue with that.

          the pitboss save is not ok with me, first of all since I havent looked at it, second, and more importantly, since it excludes one or two of our players, and thirdly, I have no idea what it is or how it works.

          • I think pitboss might work better for connectivity, therefor it's worth a try. We have had much sessions with troubles, if the pitboss ends that, that would help us very much! We must try a pitboss game. I suggest one tonight at 23:00 UTC, just only to test it.

              I'll send everyone a pm

              • BTW, you're not really meant to be passing the pitboss save around. Only one person really needs it, and that's whoever is acting as the game admin.

                BTW, whoever will be running the game (I assume that'll be Cyber or deity) should goto www.civstats.com and grab the uploader. Then contact me and I'll setup the webpage for this game.

                • MMC, if you have experience with the pitboss, can you host the pitboss in that case? I know nothing about the pitboss. What's the uploader needed for?

                  • Deity: the save is not ok. India has Asoka as a leader, I wannabe Ghandia. Besides that, my start is horrible (tundra and ice)

                    • CyberShy, I confirm the post you made about my time schedule.

                      Colonel_Treize, welcome to Apolyton and Diplogames. I am afraid that we already are overbooked for History of the World 7, but subs are always needed and welcome.

                      There usually will be atleast one person who will not be able to attend the game, so if you can show up at the times we are discussing, your services will be praised and honored.

                      Since you are new, may I recommend reading OzzyKP's guide to Diplogames (It's a sticky in the Civ 4 Multiplayer forum).

                      Again, I am speaking on behalf of all when I say thank you for expressing your interest. Keep active and up-to-date and you will get plenty of game time, believe me.

                        I'll look into it, but my dynamic IP could be a problem. Gamespy would be no problem for me though.

                        As for the uploader, it uploads games stats, so you can keep an eye on your civ from any pc with a net connection. Whilst this may not seem necessary for a Diplogame, how many people here write their story posts from work, where they don't have access to Civ4 to verify what they did in the last session.

                        Also, were you trying to load the PitBoss save with Civ4 or with the PitBoss app?

                        • dynamic IP isnt really a problem if your router is properly set up. ask your ISP about it if you have problems.

                          • What's better, civ4 or pitboss application loading?
                            I guess we don't have to load deity's save since we'll just be testing stuff and see how it works for tonight.

                            I'll try to load the pitboss around 13:00, be sure that you're available at AIM at that time and add me to your contact list!

                            • Since the save is a PitBoss save, loading it in Civ4 probably wouldn't work.

                              • it worked for me for Deity's save....
                                but I'm not sure if that was a pitboss save
