[Inca (DoC)]

Not able log in. i have to leave for work so not be back befor time is gone. Not big problem but will iss turn.

[Orb (DoC)]

AHHHHHHHHH I cant get on to play!!!!!!

[Arabia (DoC)]

Not able to play my turn

[England (DoC)]

Yes it seems that I can't log on as well.

[Korea (DoC)]

My server crashed
Hard disk unusable

But hey, I saw it coming!
I literally finished my backup 2 minutes before it happened 8)
So nothing is lost.

I've moved everything to my laptop now.
JEROEN: if you read this: please bring a spare desktop with you tomorrow!

Anyway, game's up again.
My laptop is not very stable lately, though last weeks no problems.
I can't guarantee it'll run perfect.
If you finished your turn, please make a safe.
If the laptop then reboots just upload it somewhere (if you where the last to play your turn). Post a link here so that I can download it and use it!

Thanks all for your patience.

Cant log into game,, only 2 hours left of turn is anyone else having problems ?

[Korea (DoC)]

Rasputin,

**** or get off the pot.

I'm in last place and having a great time.

I vote that we bring in a player that wants to play.

PS If you seriously want advice on how to make friends...Tip#1 Stop feeling so damn sorry for yourself, no one likes a whiny baby. If this sounds harsh to you, practice not caring what someone you don't know says about you.

its people like you that give humans the caring and kind name they have.


once you mature enough to know that telling someone suffering depression that "Toughen UP" jsut doesnt work you will also realsie that most medical practiioners wil lbe glad you dont ever get a cal lfrom a friend in need.

If people could jsut change how they think or feel by a simple decision this world would be perfect.

but unfortuantly some of us mere mortals are imperfect. We dont have the Strength you speak of. If that bothers you then go lvie in isolation because most of the world is not the same as you, most people are not go getter and positive thinkers, just hte crowd you hanging round and those that arent are cut off and you move on.

Heaven help a person in your life that ever feels down....

[Russia (DoC)]

aaaaahhh! must play turn!
also, i got an oos message when logged in at the same time as the natives earlier today.

[India (DoC)]

Game is down!

[Rasputin]

Give the guy a break now he's said he'll play on. I like having the old PitA around and his despondancy would be missed!

If he plays and finds out that you don't have to be a brilliant Civ player to have fun then he will win a victory of his own and play a better game next time. It's still very early days anyway and Korea is a solid looking mid-rank Civ which could get a lot bigger.

The catch-up has been brilliant here and even Greece - I thought dead meat - is growing nicely. Just get the Indians and the English to have a good bloodfest war with each other and the World will be a safer place.

unlikely to occur till perhpas last few turns of game.... but would make the whole game more interesting..

Perhaps a religous war! instead of threatening the smaller civs to accept the religions, smash each other....

but we can only dream

[Rasputin]

A lot of us have given you advice on the game as well as how to find enjoyment of the game. I have not seen you heed any of this advice. Instead of doing something for yourself, you play the pity card and want us to rush to your side.

Finding nejoyment is subjective and your idea of finding nejoyment can not be forced upon another. My enjopyment comes from interaction. Unfortuantly i was unaaware that people in this game dont repsond to in game offers they only repsond to people via PMs. This was not explained to me. And people just continualy ignored all in game communications.

You aren't the only person here who isn't a pro. There is much fun to be had in talking to your neighbors and other civs. If you aren't willing to send PMs, that's your fault, especially knowing that in-game communication is iffy at best.

again i did not know of the probs with in game til lrecently.

If you want to trade with folks, talk to them first, don't just make an offer. If you want to come up with a story that involves your neighbors, talk to them. Share your ideas OOC with people and I'm willing to bet they will work with you. The key is open and frequent communication with those folks.

all this is the rules people play by, again not explained at start to me , i was unaaware of peoples reluctanct to be part of communications unless it was all done in PMs. Just follwoing the storys was always what i thought everyone did. See a storythat is interesting and post a repsonse. Again I made huge assumptions about what was happening.

And to those neighbors of Ras, don't be afraid to contact him and discuss strategy. If neighbors never talk and don't work together, one of them isn't going to survive.

If this had occured all game instead of just thinking if we ignore him it will be ok, i wouldnt have even been asking or thinking of a sub.

[Mali (DoC)]

I jsut wanted to play. Sorry to have wasted all your times. Apaprently it was anticiapated i would leave but no one thoguht perhaps we should make sure he enjoyinh himself so he doenst leave, instead it was made obvious that i was not going to get help.

[Russia (DoC)]

Russia is perm-sub Russia.
The original player of Russia has not made any claim to retake his empire (though he said he might do so in November). I for one hopes he does not, cause I'm having a great time
