I'm New...

[orangesaber87]

I'm pretty much lost so far around the forum so I apologize if this should be said elsewhere.

I've been playing Civ2 forever. But havn't had anyone to multiplay with. And I've always wanted to!

Anyway, Hi to everyone, I'll be a presence on the board for a little while.

Welcome to Apolyton... New Blood is always welcome in the Civ II MP community.

You are showing an American Flag, but your current time would indicate you haven't changed your personal settings, or you live outside the US.

What time zone are you in?

Also, you might want to sign up for one of the free "instant message" services, since most of use those to help facilitate playing. Many of use ICQ and others use AIM or other services.

Hey

Thanks for replying. I'm in the eastern time zone.
How do I sign up for the IM? thanks..

[Ming]

You can get ICQ (an older system that many of use) free at ICQ.com

You might want to go into "control panal" at the top of the page, select change settings, and set your time zone to match the eastern US time zone. That way, when people see you posting, they know whether it will be easy to set up games with you or not.

There are a few active groups playing around here. You can just check some of the threads in this forum and make yourself known... One to check is the setting up IP game thread... that's the one our group uses to set up games.

I've been reading about diplo games, I think I want to set one up somehow. Any suggestions?

Welcome Orange:

We play weekends and I like to play on Sundays as well. If you are planning to play on Fri & Sats read "rah rules" so you know what the standards. I look forward to playing you..... There are several of us in EST by the way.
