If Hydey wants to participate than we should keep the later date since I doubt he wants to get up at 6am.

Drinking at the cricket club until 2-3 am or passed out

No won't be online at 6 am or 8 am.

Thanks for considering me

Okay.

We go from 1-3pm Saturday Afternoon, GMT-8

Or from 5-7pm on the East Coast of Canada,

10-12pm in Europe

or 8am Sunday morning for the Kiwis.

See you then.

I was fully confident you would arrange everything for the best, President Obiwan.

Yes, the time would suit me perfectly.

See you. But check if taawa is available.
He is a Euro too. And Shade.

[atawa]

I'll read the thread afterwards

I have other commitments Saturday afternoon, but I wish you the best of luck finishing off the heathen civs at that time. I will be busy adjusting wood-working equipment with the help of a friend who has that time available.

I've gone from an Aussie to being just one in a group of Kiwiws supposedly in this game!

Terrific - I can be there then, I just hope I WILL be there.

BTW anyone a little confused about getting onto the Poly chat look around the site, or just let me know.

I suggest we do this in a room title #civ2dg

Sound good your Holy Fanaticness? Or had you a better idea?

[Ben Kenobi]

I'll try the Poly chat from home tomorrow. Work out any kinks.

I think we're going to have a blast!

Can I poop this turnchat party?

I think that the turnchat isn't necessary at this stage in the game and has just meant that too long has passed since any turns were actually played. I'll be posting my dancing smilies along with everyone else once the Greeks have been crushed, but now tend to see this game as a formality and am thinking towards the next one. If we require a turnchat for every set of turns then it's going to become a travesty of a democracy, with the President merely a puppet for the other ministers who are controlling his every turn and with little input from the people. The President should have more power than he'd wield with a turnchat, and should he take the opportunity to ignore the advice of his cabinet then he's out on his own and if things go badly wrong he'll be in trouble if he ever seeks reelection.
The ministers should only offer a guide for the turns to be played, not a dictat, and the President should be free to play them.

<-- This isn't meant to be a rant smiley, but a moan one.

[Ben Kenobi]

I would have played my turn on Thursday, but if this is to be the last session, we might as well make the most of it.

I agree, we shouldn't turnchat every turn, it's just something I thought would be a fun way to finish a good game, considering that the AI has lasted until calvary.

While I appreciate your support for a benevolent dictator, I think we should involve the citizens in the final stage of the game.

As for 'too long between turns' it has been exactly 1 week as of now since the last session. I've tried to mimick my predecessor Cavebear in maintaining a consistent schedule.

So if you think you can do a better job, I encourage you to run as the new president for the 4th democracy game. And before you get to saying it's a foregone conclusion, I remind you that this session requires me to conquer 30 cities.

Well said! It is kinda cool chatting with everyone - it's a step closer to actually meeting everyone too.

Surely a mere pittance after what has been done ro date!

[Ben Kenobi]

The turnchat will be at channel #civ2DG

Hope to see you all there.
