[Ming]

SmartFart... Thanks for sitting in for me and doing all the real hard boring work. All I was doing was building settlers and caravans too. I wish I could have been around to watch the record, but I had a house full of guests, and I couldn't really abandon them for a computer game
Congratulations guys... just proves that teamwork can work!

[markusf]

Without the gifting of caravans, i think this would be very very hard to do. Because i would need to be very close to the SSC or have a lot of ships.

[Ming]

Yes, it would be more difficult... but not impossible. Again, just good teamwork is required. It would take a little longer to get the caravans there at first, but the infrastructure could be put in place.

I think that everybody being able to communicate from the start is what makes it possible. I think changing that would make it much harder than no instant caravans.

As long as there is a SCC civ, and a civ like yours... it can be done

[Xin Yu]

Since 6ad is a not breakable record we need to try this (I have posted it in another thread but I'll repeat it here):

A combined treasury of $32,000;
A combined city number of 65;
All techs discovered;
All wonders built.

This is more difficult than the SS launch challenge since with the money and cities a SS can be built instantly. On the other hand there is always a possibility to break the record.

[markusf]

i found the last tech at 50BC. So that is the current record.

[Xin Yu]

Another suggestion: 7 players, each can only buid one city. 7 OCCs for a SS launch, it will be very fast.

[Paul]

The 7 OCC game will certainly be much faster with only one city per player, but it will not be possible to get to AC in 6 AD. Do you think it would be possible to get all the techs and start building in 1 AD?

I would certainly be willing to try any of these challenges: 7 OCC, less than 7 civs or the one with all techs, 32,000 cash etc.

[Smash]

Great job! so much for impossible.In fact very possible and with more experience may well be easy.
Typically ,Markus makes it sound as if he did everything

I was wondering about "contact from start" and caravan trading.
How about an attempt using "regular" MP rules?ie no using any of the "cheats and tricks" that most ban from their games.
I wonder if 2 could do it?

[jpk]

Congratulations to you all!!!

[Paul]

Maybe two could do it, but if you also add the "no contact from start" and "no caravan trade" rules it would certainly impossible for only two players (well, never say impossible ).

By the way, Rah, I had to reinstall Windows and lost all my ICQ contacts. I managed to find all their ICQ numbers except yours. Please contact me.

[rah]

Paul, will do when i get home today. I assume the icq number listed in your profile is correct.

LOL Smash. He couldn't have done it without him

RAH

[Paul]

Now Ming, what are you implying with that remark? I just need that ICQ number so that I can hack into your computer and steal your moderator password... ehh I never said that. You didn't read that. I have perfectly legitimate reasons for wanting Rah's ICQ number.

[oedo]

Paul, next time before you reinstall windows copy your existing ICQ folder somewhere, where it won´t be destroyed. now you can format c: and reinstall win98. after that you just install ICQ again. finally you copy all data of your old ICQ folder into the new one. when you log on as existing user, voilà, you will get back your complete contact list.
I just did so with ICQ 99b and it worked perfect.

[Ming]

Now Paul...
Do you need Rah's ICQ number for when he is at home, or, when he is at my place on Friday's night using my computer
