The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread Pt1]

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Really sorry guys!

Moved house and the phone company messed up my connection, and then had to go away to somewhere which was meant to have phone and internet connection but doesn't (yes places long out of phone connectivity do exist still!).

Very pleased to have a regent appointed. I will contact him briefly now in the few minutes i have connection before heading off again. Will be back at the weekend I hope.

Sorry again guys - thanks for the expressions of concern.

Will quickly post to story to explain the death of Justinian, but that will be without having read the previous posts.

OOC Question

If I have a PC and my friend has Civ on a Mac, are we able to play together either via IP, or direct connect?

You can as long as the version number is the same but I've not seen BTS for the Mac...

Hang on, I'm going in to reset their password.
For clearity, this is how I do it:

1. I close civstats
2. I login as myself (#1 = to ensure my anonymous identity) (*cugh*)
3. I pause the game and logout
4. I kick Byzantium (b/c game = paused, AI won't take over, nothing changes at his side)
5. I claim byzantium and set a PW
6. while loading, I quit the login proces so I will never actually login as byzantium
7. I will login as myself and unpause the game
8. I'll PM the password to Ozzy (Cc: to byzantium)

Ozzy: please just keep current affairs going. Do it in Byzantium's best interest, but no wars or big diplomatic changes. (unless of course someone declares war on you, then just act in Byzantium's best interest)

Good luck and thanks!

No response from Ozzy yet.

Did you send me something?

I'm always around. I don't have their password though.

[India (DoC)]

I'll set that up when I'm home, if Ozzy agrees.
For the game it's most probably best if a civ like Byzantium won't be unplayed for too long.

Ozzy (or someone) definately should jump in. (Hopefully nothing serious with the Byzantine player and will come back soon)

[Rome (DoC)]

Still takes 3-4 days to get here. It would be faster to just wait till friday and get it at the store.

or, for more money and with never any issues with cds/dvds you could do this

That sucks
Most probably they're not that expensive anymore. (maybe buy civ complete!)
Or you could borrow it from someone to just install it. With the 3.19 patch you don't need the disc to play. And since you already have a legit copy, that may work as well.

To be honest I really don't know anyone close to me that even knows what civ is let alone have a copy I can barrow. Though I will suffer from civ withdraw i have no choice but to wait till i can head to the store on friday.

About Byzantium:

Ozzy should log on just to put them to research something, they are currently not researching anything. They will receive Railroads from England (We have a deal) so i guess anything else strategic would do.

[Robert]

No news from Byzantium. I have sent a phone-text-msg.
