hey guys...

unfortunatly im going to stay a few days not able to play Civ, because i sold my old 64Mb VideoCard to buy a 256 one... im awaiting the new videocard arrives, and then ill be able to play again.

im not sure about how long it will take, since shipping time here in brazil its kind of a unsure thing, so if takes too long, like 2 weeks, to get my new video set up an ready, i would mind be replaced.

Just tell me how long are you willing to wait for me

[DrDeke]

Well, it sounds like smellycowsquid is going to be gone for most of this week, so it's probably not such a bad time for your upgrade to happen.

This is my first Civ PBEM game ever, so I don't really know how these usually go. I do not mind if the game takes longer because someone goes on vacation for a week or upgrades their computer. My only concern is that I hope people do not lose interest in the game midway through and stop playing. At the current rate, I suppose this game will run for what, about a year and a half? It would be a shame to spend months playing a game only to have everyone bail out eventually. But, I suppose most Civ players are pretty dedicated, so maybe that doesn't usually happen.

I have no problem waiting for a few days for someone, it just should be announced by the player, so that noone is confused where the game currently is.

Anyway, is it possible to temporarily replace a player by the AI? In particular in the current state of the game, having the AI make one scout move and press Enter would not hurt the player, right?

I am out-of-Internet for Tuesday and Wednesday.

hail old friends..

Just to let yoiu that my computer is up again, although maybe ill have to change the video card, caus this one i got seems to be having a problem while accelerating 2D graphics, but until there everything is running fine and im back in town.

id like to know hopw are things going around here... Is smelly back? i hope we can continue this pbem...

[phlucas]

Still there, ready to play, now at phlucas@f-m.fm.

[DrDeke]

Hooray! Glad your computer is working (well, at least kind of working - that's usually about all one can ask ). I'm ready to continue the game whenever the rest of you are.

I have just returned, and will most likely be here til Friday, who has the Save?

[DrDeke]

Well, I sent it to phlucas on 17-07-2006 16:51 but maybe I used the wrong email address? I can re-send it to your f-m.fm account if you want.

This was the -3840 save, right? I received it and sent my turn afterwards to prussia. If there is a later turn to be played, I did not receive it.

[phlucas]

Ah, I'm mixing up my games. The last turn in this game which I sent was the -3700 save. If there is a later turn I should play, I need the file.

[DrDeke]

-3700 is the last turn I've seen.

Bye til Monday. Does Phbreng have the save?

[phlucas]

I sent the -3700 save on the 17th, but just resent it, just in case.
