help! I'm an idiot! what is the zone?

[Mr Bunny]

I'm trying to play online and I'm trying to find the zone. I went to game zone, and all couple other similiar places, and after registering at a couple different
places I've got useless free e-mail and guaranteed spam for life, only to find out they don't do civ. I was hoping to try playing tonight but I can't find it.
please help dumb bunny.

the last version of Gamespy Arcarde support Civ2 MGE and ToT games, but it almost always empty

go to multiplayer forums (Civfanatics, Apolyton) to ask for players or find multi games

And if you're still looking for the Zone, here's a link:

http://zone.msn.com/civ2multiplayer/default.asp?blnHBRedirect=True

You can get there through a maze of links from www.zone.com (it's as simple as that).

[Mercator]

But as Eyn suggested, Apolyton or CivFanatics are probably the best choice.

[DarkCloud]

Could he do a manual link between two computers? Such as one dialing directly into another?

[Mr Bunny]

Thanks for the zone link. Apolyton and Civfanatics were dead last night , not a soul. Hopefully I'll get a game going tonight.

[Mr Bunny]

the zone appears to be for PC only,(to get a .net 'passport') according to "what you need to get started". If any Mac people know about this , let me know if this is true because i'm going to wait and see before I register at the zone. I've got too much spam as it is. Ill just have too hang out at Civfanatics
chat room i guess.

Since when does CF have a chatroom

Btw, you can easy get a game in the zone about any hour of the day, another chatroom for civ (mostly 1x1x deity) is :

http://civ2.net/liga/main.php

Scroll down to the bottom of the page to go to the chatroom.

I'm an idiot!

I agree.

[Jac de Molay]

If you're going to spam, at least be nice.

[Ecthy]

he said it, I confirmed. BTW, I used to play on the zone now and again myself, didn't get a single decent game there.

[Mr Bunny]

Oops! I got mixed up! It was a Napster chat room. No wonder they didn't know what I was talking about. Ecthelion was right.

But seriously, folks, I may be nuts but I'm pretty sure I got into a civ chatroom through Civfanatics. Noone looking to game, they were discussing their "diplomacy" game. And the Zone is definitely PC only(it's gameranger for the mac) and no Civ2 (?). But I got ICQ going, and was all over poly and civfan fri and sat night and coulden't get squat going. So I read a few thousand posts and now Mr Bunny has a headache.

Now, aren't you all dying to play with a confused, idiot, virgin, Mr Bunny?
Think of the abuse! The mayhem! The laughter!

[Mercator]

You could always have a look at the Civ2-Multiplaying forums (both at Apolyton and CivFanatics), and post there to ask if (or when rather) they want to play.

I played on the Zone twice. The first time half the players quit after they lost a few units, the second time I caught somebody cheating...
