New Cretaceous diplo style game for USA Fri nights...

[deity]

We played a 3 way filler game while we waited...

Postcard to Makeo

I cannot play this friday due to anniversary and loss of girlfriend if i played. I can play saturday.

[deity]

USA Saturday/night is better for me... cool.

Haven't seen any sign of LC though

[trev]

I cannot advance my time online on Sunday by much more than half hour or so, so may be half hour later than normal according to US time zone ( I think our time changes Sunday morning out of Summer time)

[deity]

We start in 2 hours time from this post...

[trev]

I am working tomorrow morning as I have done other times and still got back in time for the game. However this time, the workload is greater and I may need to work a bit later. Therefore there is at least a 50% chance I will not show up on time and could be up to 2 hours late. If I am not online at the start time feel free to defer the game to another week, I will not be near a computer in the morning to provide updates on a potential starting time.

Sounds like Trev won't be here till 3pm my time (Aust EST) which is 11pm USA EDT I think....

1) Anyway, I won't be here earlier than this but if everyone is here at that time let's het an hour or so in of play; AND/OR
2) Have a session USA Sat night?

[trev]

I am unavailable for a session USA Sat night (tabletennis tournament is on at that time) so the game will need to wait to next week

[trev]

I will be working again tomorrow, the odds of being ontime are better than last week, but I cannot guarantee being there tomorrow though. Next weekend is a long weekend in Australia and therefore much better odds of being available to play on several days of the weekend.

[deity]

So this USA Fri night we can start at the old USA normal time Trev (7pmEDT)? [11am Aust Sat EST]

If so we should get a good session!

[trev]

No, I can play, but working again, this time morning only so I can play from about 12pm Aust EST, possibly a little later, but definitely on b4 1pm. It means we can get a reasonable session in, but not as good as deity is hoping for.

[deity]

OK, this game now in its final stages... if two out of the three leading civs co-operate with tech trades the other civ will struggle. I suggest that from now on there are no more tech trades but gifting to the fourth civ would be ok I reckon.

What do you think?

[deity]

When I say co-operate I don't mean in any planned way but if one civ has the choice to trade for techs from two other civs he can only pick one which means the third civ is left out for each particular trade.

[deity]

Don't forget the agreed rules on NO SETI and only capture three cities per turn...

[deity]

And to avoid any upsets what do we mean by 3 cities per turn? Is it 3 cities per turn against ONE civ or several civs in the one turn (ie maximum 9 cities if you attack 3 civs!)
