Horse, if finbar doesn't show we could start a 3 way with Trev.

Sorry about last night, chaps. My cable connection went down. Couldn't reconnect. Couldn't work out why. Discovered that BigPond had shut down the account 24 hours early! It was supposed to be midnight tonight. They did it at midnight last night! Anyway, I'll be updating Civ on this laptop to include all the recent game saves, so I'll have them with me over there. I'm posting this using an Global Roaming dial-up system that I've set up as an interim internet connection over there until I establish something cheaper and longer term. It costs the earth, so I'll nick off now.

Speak to you next from over there!

Ciao tutti!

Yeah, we figured as much finbar

Have a safe trip and see you in Italy!

PS Any chance of a coupla hours play on global roaming tonight??

[deity]

Trev and Horse, 3 way tonight for a bit?

Rules should be discussed. I think since Horse has the no unit bribe we should each have a rule.

Also, the next map we set up is gonna be by me. My hosting is good now.

Horses maps tend to favour his strats with lots of mtns, hills, swamp etc. Also no unit bribe favours his strats

Trev, do you have a rule you want?

Mine would perhaps be to limit spies abilities or to cost more. Diplos are OK though.

[deity]

Also, no tech stealing is a good rule - only by conquest.

Hydey, this would be an excellent time to return - new games are starting up... If you don't return soon you'll be left way behind. finbar, Horse, Trev, me & Makeo have all progressed far beyond where we were with you in 2003...

finbar, how much is that GR service? I might be using it next year with Bigpond.

From the writings of deity:

"Be polite and fair in all dealings with players.
Do not get personal.
Do not contest the right of a players chosen strategy.
Winning is perceived in many ways.
Expect war at any time.
Build strong defences ahead of strong civlisations.
Be a good sport and enjoy!"

[deity]

"Above all trust other players unless absolutely proven otherwise."

[deity]

"As in sport, congratulate performance and learn.
Relax in defeat and smile."

[deity]

BTW I reckon it's a bit odd to not allow unit bribe but to allow diplos to destroy city improvements etc. This really does favour Horsies strats

Hey Horse, just thought you might be interested in this.

It's the previous best naval battle I had. I was staving off the attacks from Markus whilst Dangime attacked my rear in a no alliance game!

I had Magellans and filled the seas with subs which basically saved me...
