We have 3 definite starters today, Marcus, deity, trevriffic for our game at 1pm Aust EST, other players are welcome for a larger game.

Vile can't play.

I suspect CC will show and Arvcran might play.

I also asked Asmo and maybe Nols is around.

Otherwise we play our 3 way?

[deity]

I'm on holidays now!

I'll be around most Aussie afternoons and some nights if given enough notice to play...

[deity]

OK, got a few good games happening and Otto is a welcomed addition to our group!

He's a warmonger of marathon proportions

But today I think we start a new 4 way with Marcus, Trev, deity and Otto (Tri)... unless there are any more regular takers> We start within the ext hour...

[deity]

I should be around most days from mid arvo roughly...

[trev]

The best game for a long time was started yesterday with 5 players, all aussies which gives us the best chance of playing the game to the end, 2 further session times have already been agreed to for this game, Thursday evening and next Sunday afternoon

[trev]

The Aussie along with Canadian and Peruvian friends have played a number of sessions over the last few days, getting some good games started and also continued

[deity]

OK, looks like most are agreed to let Alex off the hook and styart a new Aussie 5 way 1pm Aust Sunday EDT:

Trev
deity
Marcus
Vile
Alex

Unfortunately my time is limited this Sunday, as I am required to travel to Melbourne and be there 6am Monday morning, about a 10 hour drive. So I can get enough sleep I will need to finish any session by 3pm EST at the latest, maybe finish earlier.

[deity]

OK Trev.. lets try and all turn up a bit early.

JungleIII here - ready to try the next multi-player game if someone is setting it up... I can play any evening usually... QLD time.

Are you playing any BtS multi-player games or only Civ4?

Hi - and welcome to the group.



We only play BTS (3.13)

Today was a flop because of connection issues but we think it's sorted out now.

Our main game is usually on Sunday at 1pm EDT.

Nights are sporadic - except duiring hols and long weekends

We need to know that you are across your firewall settings. Do you have ADSL?

Your router must have the 2056 port forwarded to you lan IP.

We usually play long running marathon games - sometimes with peaceful building periods; sometimes war (some players are more peaceful than others). We don't like early kills though and believe all civs should have a chance to get established up until at least 2000BC.

Hope to see you next Sunday - if not sooner.

[deity]

Also, we need your MSN/icq etc.

MSN our preferred chat for setting up games.

Thanks... I'll pm you my ICQ or set up a MSN... I have DSL (not ADSL).

I look forward then to next Sunday and will do my best to give you a good game.

A question... in practice game with my neighbor, I occasionally get out of sync errors... how common is this and how is that controlled? It usually occurs when barbarian or quest activity happens... while playing over the Internet.

[trev]

It is controlled most easily by checking 'random events' in your options before beginning a game. However it may be the result of communication issues between the 2 computers, ie not properly firewalled or ports not forwarded correctly through the router and if these were fixed random events could stay on.
