If we wait for everyone to be in for the first session this game will never start. That is the reality here. Every game so far has had people missing for the first session, but it really isn't all that critical. People come back in and do well. Deity missed the first session in HOTWV and almost won it.

And honestly, it is pretty ****ty to drop this on us less than 10 hours to go till the start.

You've got 10 hours. Find a sub and give them detailed instructions.

Levi, we play without KunojiLym as well the first session.
Last game we played without Deity, the game before that we played without The_Capo.

Kuno, Deity and The Capo are veteran diplogame players. They know that these things happen. And they deal with it. They are even among the best players.

Please find a sub or accept an AI!
If not, please let us know quickly what you will do so we can participate on a game without your civ. (ie. create new maps)

[Robert]

We must find a sub for Kuno as well, btw.
I've sent a PM to LzPrst, can't mail him from this side I hope he has PM e-mail notification....

hmmmm, let's check that.
any other options for a 1st session sub?

[Levi_the_Oracle]

I am looking for a sub. What time does this game start central time and who is hosting. I need the hosts IP.

[Robert]

Game starts: 17:30 CET
IP: most probably Deity's IP. not sure yet. Don't know that IP by heart either.

We can post it here, mail it to someone, pm it to someone. He can show up on AIM, YIM or ICQ

AIM name: rhodberth
YIM name: rhodberth
ICQ nr: 5460666

my e-mail address: robert**plompweb*nl

It would be great if you can find a sub!!

[Toni]

Levi the game will be up at 5:30pm Central time, tx for looking! Here is the ip: *****

edit by CyberShy: not sure if it's a good idea to post IP's on a public board
I'll PM it to Levi! Levi: check your PM.

well I hope there won't be twelve pages right when we start the game

Again - sorry. I didn't mean to be abrupt in my earlier comment. And no, 12 pages of writing are not required. This is my first game as well, and from what I can see, a paragraph or two will suffice for the first round.

Looking forward to tonight, and posting my contact info in a few minutes.

[Toni]

Tx Beta, It's great to have you on board

[Beta]

Tx Toni. It's good to be here.

Had to struggle with an old MSN account - but got it resurrected:

Beta4000 ta ta hotmail tod tod com

Will work on an ICQ acoount next.

PM'ing you my 'other' contact info CyberShy.

[Robert]

Got the info.
While updating the scheme I realise that I don't have e-mail addresses at all.

You guys can mail me the addresses if you want for completeness sake.

Beta: we use YIM/AIM for 99% during the games! You may want to download trillian (combines MSN,AIM,YIM and ICQ) and get accounts for YIM/AIM (free)

[Robert]

I've sent a PM to 6 (former) diplo players asking them if they want to sub for Kuno, I hope they'll reply here or in a PM to me.

OK - downloaded and installed Trillian. Not sure what to do with it now - but it is running.

My ID there is ToxoXI, the same name you will know me as in the game. Toxo is a much better leader and civ player than Beta.

And oh yes - getting the beer and pretzels stacked up and ready to go.
