"A History of the World XII" Planning/Sign-Up Thread...

[Mr.Lincoln]

Ok guys, i sorta have an issue. This weekend of 25th-27 i am not avaible for online. that means not only will i miss tgeh premiere of HOTW12 id miss this week in HOTW11

[Mr.Lincoln]

instead of reading the last 15 pages could someone just tell me right now- Do we start Sat.EST12midnight-3A.M. on (still EST time) Jan26? If we do then i have a huge problem

[LzPrst]

you don't have to. here's a summary.

Mr.Lincoln
Not admitted.
Sorry. But you are too late, have according to the players of last game proven to be unreliable, and the fact that you have not, or can not post in these forums speaks harshly to your disadvantage. However, we realize that all of us are human and imperfect. I have more swine in the woods than most others on that particular issue. as such, I am suggesting that you could sub for this game. My part in HOTWXI was sub only and I had great fun. If you prove our judgment on your reliability wrong, we will gladly admit you as a fullfledged player in the next game. I hope you won't take this the wrong way. And there is also a possibility (though remote) that HOTW X will one day re-re-arise from the ashes and be played. if you want to you could take over that thread and try to get that game running, right after the end of HOTW XI would be a good time when more plalyers have more time, and you can find a timeslot that fits better for you.


And yes. Midnight - 3 Am EST on the 26th is our startdate.

Now despite my contention that the anonymous play idea won't work; I am trying my best to make it so, and I actually want it to work because my objection is not to the idea behind it, or the philosophy behind it, but my objection to it has always been its feasibility. I think if we can make it work here maybe in the future people will follow our lead.'

Thanks Capo. I really appreciate that. It's the thing I'm really looking forward to in this game.

Will we use that other testing thread I started to discuss hosting; map distribution? It needs to be in the correct folder on everyone's comp before game start.

In fact I hope ozzy is around at game time.

LMAO!!

You need to do more of that Trev

[The Capo]

When is the next test session?

How quickly can we got Ozzy to get the map finished so we can distribute it and put it in the proper folders?

[LzPrst]

i think ozzy said friday'ish...

[LzPrst]

ozzy didn't say friday'ish, but he did say he might start working on it tonight. I guess it will be good and ready in time.

btw cyber. I install civ4. then patch it. then install bts. then patch. and that's it, right? no warlords needed I assume. now where on earth did I leave those cd's... or rather, with whom...

also @ cyber. I think we're ready to see the list of civs now. when you post it I'll start the new DIPLOGAME HOTW XII STORY thread, as well as the organization thread.

remember, any posts in those two threads should be with your Diplogame_Civ login. and you have to remember to forget who you are... hypnotoad commands you, you are now diplogamerXII. the Testing thread can be used for any oldfashioned communication.

Regarding anonymity...

Since we are using Ozzy's point system perhaps at the end of the game we have one 'vote' session where we try to guess who was who.

For every player who guesses your true idenity, you lose say 5 points from your total score?

OR...

You lose, say, 20 points if you 'slip up'. Slipping up being accidently revieling you idenity in a 'hard evidence' sort of way. Loggin in as the wrong handle, making a reference to one's self, etc...

The second option would not protect anonymity as much as the first, since writing style would not be held accountable.

Both would certainly add motivation to keeping anonymity.

[OzzyKP]

Good ideas Pin.

I like the first option myself.

[The_Aussie_Lurker]

But....people will guess my civ the moment they see it sink to the bottom of the Leader Table .

Aussie_Lurker.

[deity]

Yep, good idea Pincak.
First option sounds good.

[LzPrst]

approved.

[Robert]

@LzPrst: where you left your cd's? At your 2nd last ex-girlfriends house?

@LzPrst: If you did the right install? Hope so, sounds good. You didn't really need to patch civ4 vanilla, but it can't hurt, can it? (BtS patches civ vanilla)

@LzPrst: The List, ok, here it is:


Mali (Mansa Musa)
Ottoman (Suleiman)
France (Napoleon)
America (Washington)
Holland (Willem van Oranje) <== 'The Netherlands' doesn't fit the max size of an Apolyton Account!
Mongolia (Kublai Khan)
Inca (Huayna Capac)
Carpathia (= renamed Holy Rome (Charlemagne))
Russia (Stalin)

all civ/leaders in random order

I'll kick the @ss of all players that'll lose their anonymity within 4 sessions b/c of all the work I had to do for it

j/k good luck guys!

@The Capo: don't lose your temper while using your anonymous login, people might find out too easy that it's you :P j/k

ha. ha. ha. I remember where the civ4 cd is. I gave it away to someone I know in sweden... and no, not a girlfriend. bts cd is probably gone with the wind, one of my former flatmates must have it. luckily, I know how to sail on the high seas when in a pinch. I'll have to reacquire them later.


anyway, I'll start the threads now then!
