History of the World 8 - Organisation Thread (Pt3)

[Robert]

The wars are interesting. We're in a period were nobody is sure about it's allies, I like that
It's better then the fixed huge alliances wheren nobody moves.

I especially liked the way we connected this time (Gamespy Lobby). It went so much better than the Direct IP. The one comment Id have is that it might be better if we could make it a closed game. Nothing bad came of unknown players dropping in, but I could definately see where it might cause problems in certain situations.

And this was a fun session, it kind of re-energized my interest in a game I thought was stagnating. Not spending 3 hours trying to connect really helped me feel that way too.

I'll see if it's possible in any way to put a password on the game.

Lets see if we can get some story posts this week

[HaleyStarshine]

I was wondering if there is room for another player on this? Or should I wait for making a new one from start?

I can play at any day or time.. And I can post stories or the like at anytime as well :P

Hey HaleyStarshine!
There's most probably room for one sub.
We haven't heard from kbarrett for a few weeks, so India is without a player right now.

Maybe someone else can confirm if kbarrett is indeed LOA, or that he's on vacation, and will return soon (or something)

Anyway, you're certainly welcome for the next game! (which will most probably start somewhere august/september

[HaleyStarshine]

Well, any role is alright for me, in fact it would be better to play a sub for starters since I'm a complete noob on Civ4 Multiplaying yet... So I can get the hang of it

[Robert]

Ok, I'm going to try to contact kbarrett to see if he's still going to play this game.
I assume that he lost interest, since we didn't saw him for weeks. (we had some connection problems)

It would be great if you can sub for him.
Did you already figure out the gametimes for your local timezone?

[Robert]

Happy birthday Ozzy!!

Will you bring cake next session?

[Toni]

Thanks CS (Robert) for being so active on PM

Feels good to know that there is someone who cares about the well being of the game.

Happy BD Oz

Still early though, but you think we should start making a roster for HOTW10 (BTS) ? Now that the sessions are going smoothly via the lobby I think we got maybe 3-5 till we end it. It all depends on the Mali if they want to take over the world

I don't worry about timezones ( unless you are in China or something :P )... But for the record I'm on -3gmt

[Robert]

Well, we're in Australia, Singapore, Holland, America and Canada, so there's always one player close to you

Hmmmm, we may be playing in the middle of the night for you. I am -1 GMT, thus that most probably means, if I calculate it correctly, that we start 02:30am your time and play till 6.00am.....

It would feel good to me though to know that I'm not the only one, playing in the middle of the night

[HaleyStarshine]

Well I'm pretty much used to that on single player

I always play at nighttime and when I see the clock on 3am I say to myself "Ok, I'll just wait for that city to complete that building and I'll go sleep"... But I end up going at 6 or 7am :P

Stop forgetting BULGARIA Dutchy boy!

[Robert]

You actually are in Bulgaria...........!?!!?
I thought you were in the states, having bulgarian roots!

I'm so sorry! Never expected a Bulgar to play German
