HOTWXII Testing and Organisational thread

[LzPrst]

people just have to be careful to announce before sessions, with their diplogamer login, in the org thread, that they can't play. if there's a chance that you can't play, say so also.

if we find out that we need to be able to call heraclitus or myself or anyone to get their asses in front of the screen, then we might have to do that. but in general I don't think it will be as much of a problem as we make it out to be. just be good and show up

[LzPrst]

also, a bit of a warning. for those of you who dilly dally around a little with cybers mail server, gmail considers messages from there spam. so you have to unspam it. not that you would ever really need to send mail from there to outside sites, but I figured it would be good to have all my details available in several places.

Pinchak I have added you to my yim - but you haven't replied. Please do so.

I will be here for testing this Friday as well - we are testing during the Sat game slot hrs right?

Pinchak, Asmo and Heraclitus are a must i think showing up

Heraclitus has been quiet lately

[LzPrst]

hopefullly catching up on his sleep so he can get up on sunday morning...


also, you should create a diplo_civ@hotmail.com for msn use during the session. we should all do that. (i have)

Tsk Tsk, is the anonymous thing falling apart already?

[Toni]

The_Aussie_Lurker - you can ask Nolan

She said she is willing to sub if needed

[Robert]

Posting your unavailability with your real handle

[LzPrst]

and there might be mr.lincoln, if he is willing.

we'll always manage to russle up some subs.
In general I would prefer if we did not postpone for one player. the simple reason is that if we do, then we'll never get a session off, cause out of 9 players over the course of several months, someone is likely to not be there just about every week. and we can't give you a weeks postponement and then tell other people that they can't do the same. now that we know, we can plan ahead and look for subs, you're in a very good position to get a sub with that kind of pre-warning.

just remember to give your sub proper instructions so nothing is revealed.

[LzPrst]

yes... cyber, I was thinking the same. I said several times that unavailability should be posted with the diplo-login in the org thread. I'm not sure if we need to make a new org thread or if we should just use this one. we have to start getting used to posting with our diplo-logins. only non-game related stuff should be discussed in normal login.

Now you have to instruct your sub to not reveal that he is a sub.

[OzzyKP]

Edited.

Boy, you guys suck at this and the game hasn't even started, haha.

[LzPrst]

more paranoia in hiding your anonymity is required!!

OFFICIAL NOTICE

This is from now on the OFFICIAL HOTW XII ORGANIZATION THREAD.

That means that any talk that refers to YOU gaming must be made with your Diplo_Login. I would prefer also to see most people posting here to be posting with their Diplo_Logins from now on. If subs and similar are to be requested, they are to be requested for the civ/login in question, NOT the player. So instead of saying "I Ozzy need a sub for next weekend" you say with your Diplo_Login "This Civ needs a sub next weekend".
Here and Story I want Diplo_Login posts only. In this thread you can post OOC. That means, you don't have to say "O great fellow Kings...", it's ok to say "hey guys, looking forward to the game ". Here. Not in the story thread. There you have to use the IC form.
You understand the difference?
All clear?


The only question still in question that could and should be debated using normal logins is in the ozzy points system revival thread. Theoretical questions can be asked here with your normal login if there is good reason for it.

[The Capo]

I am having a lot of trouble with this.

Mainly because everything keeps changing, I created an MSN account, but I used windows live and my name is now all screwed up instead of appearing as Diplo_Tribe it appears as simply "Tribal", I don't know how else to explain it without revealing my identity. Further I'm finding it very difficult to discuss what's happening because I can't reveal my identity, basically I tried to start an MSN but couldn't use CS's e-mail for some reason, so I created a windows live e-mail but accidentally used my PW for TheCapo instead of the one I was supposed to use, so I had to go back and create a new one. Now you guys are telling me I need two separate new handles so nobody knows who I am?!?!

Again, I hate to beat a dead horse here, but c'mon. Is this really worth it?

What are we going to gain out of this in the end?

Now I'm not saying this to piss you off Lz, and I know I probably already have, but that's not a big concern of mine right now. The game is mere days away and I don't think we've done enough preparation. Trev is right too, and when you combine what he said and just general process of elimination the entire discussion that we should consider "guessing who the tribe is" as loss of points in the final score is even more laughable!

That said, I am dedicated to making this work, but I mean if its not worth it, why do it?

[The Capo]

So if someone could clearly clarify what I need that would really help me with this...

So far here's what I have;

I have my Apolyton account, everyone does I guess.

I also ahve an e-mail through CS Diplo_CIVILIZATIONNAME@plomp.eu, which I also assume everyone does.

Now, I THINK I created an MSN account but the name didnt' come out the way I wanted it to, and I accidentally used my PW for the Capo so we can't use it again in future games. Sorry about that.

To do that I had to create a windows live account, and now you're telling me I have to create a new hotmail account. I mean, between all these accounts and passwords I almost forgot I'm supposed to be playing Civilization!
