c'mon, if we want to change that you have even to ways to implement it!

1. start all over
2. change the entire globe through the worldbuilder!

those are two wonderful options

Thanks, you're so thoughtful and helpful.

makes mental note to have Lincoln start in a massive desert

CS starting in the Mojave

YES YES

[Beta]

Back from Mount Everest!

I can't recall if we are allowing tech trading or not. If not, I would lean towards Epic.

I will be here Friday. Just getting caught up in the discussions etc.

and btw - great trip. Very exhausting, courtesy of altitude sickness and long 4x4 treks over very rough roads, but well worth it for what we saw and did.

[Toni]

Welcome Mr Beta, its great to have you back

Yes we have tech trading!

Oh and please post some pics from your trip

[LzPrst]

I will play tomorrow, no problem!

[LzPrst]

oh, and I think we should try epic, all other hotw games have been mara.

[Robert]

LzPrst: you have no vote, you are Dacole, and Dacole wants Mara :P

Beta: We play "No tech brokering". That means you can only trade techs you researched yourself. I'd say that's more tech trading then no tech trading.

Welcome back!

Massive desert is ok, as long as that means that there are a billion floodplains

Hi guys/gal,

Next friday (saturday for the euros/aussies) we start with our The History of the World XI diplomacy game.

All make sure that you:
1. have your civ patched up to v3.03 in advance
2. have AIM or YIM
3. be online at 22:30 AM GMT (check what that means for your local time HERE
4. I'll host the game with the name: History of the World XI
5. password: diplo
6. Make sure that you've configured your firewall correctly!

search for me on YIM or AIM: rhodberth or in the lobby: Rho d Berth

See you guys friday!

If you haven't received this PM then:
1. check your PM's now and then (it's linked from the top of this page somewhere)
2. turn on "PM notification alert" somewhere in your configuration settings of Apolyton
3. turn on "PM notification by e-mail" somewhere in your configuration seettings of Apolyton

That'll make it easier for all of us to contact each during the weeks between the sessions for some diplo chatting

I do not have the PM functionality available to me on Apolyton.

is 22:30 your BST? or Really GMT?

I am in DST in North America ET so it means GMT-4 but Greenwich is in BST so it is equivalent to GMT-5.

Ultimately is game starting 6:30pm or 5:30PM EDT? :-)

My YIM is Arvcran as is my Game Spy lobby account name.

[Robert]

You sure do have PM!
Go here: http://apolyton.net/forums/private.php

For timezone matching,
Go here: http://ntp.greenwichmeantime.com/tim...ice=main_large

it'll show 2 dates, the GMT date and your date.
We play at 22:30 GMT

Compare that GMT date with your date, and you'll know when

[arvcran]
