Who is Diety

------------------
*THE DEITY*

[War4ever]

Yes just who is this Diety fellow????

[markusf]

It doesn't matter, we all know who the best is.

[War4ever]

Not You my friend

[Rasputin00]

Diety is the fatter version of deity

[arii]

I'm up for it if we can come up with settings that make everybody happy and a schedule with at least 4 sessions planned.

[iadkins]

Ok, some thoughts on this.
finbar and Eyes may be interested too and War is.
But I agree it must be a NORMAL game with 1x1x, Deity level, Raging hordes and No city bribe.
I can set aside next Weds/Thurs for this which is Tues/Weds nights North Am time. This suits War and finbar.

I am the same time zone as war. So when can we start?

[arii]

Let's start next week so that we can finish the on going games we have. Tues and weds evenings are ok with me after 8:00 ct

[iadkins]

Ok.. Tues 14/3/00 (ie 14th March for non-Americans )
at around 8 CST?
I think that is around 1pm Weds here in Aussie, so that's great. Should suit finbar and War. (Eyes not interested in 1x)
Everyone agree with my proposed settings?

I think it would be good to have a 'neutral' as a host? I get the feeling this will be a heavy duty game so we need to have an unarguable even playing field

Maybe a Raz or a Cavebear might find it interesting to do this? Although I'm not sure how it is done. Can there be a host computer that does not play?
In the future maybe Apolyton servers could be set up, sponsored by the games creators.

Anyway, if it's all too difficult we could just quickly vote on it. I can't host for unknown tech reasons

I guess your proxy isn't setup right...

Anyways I am all for it!!! Now who wants what settings?
1x1x king to spaceships.
or 2x1x is my suggestion. or vote.

[War4ever]

well it must be deity to include me and either x1x1 or x2x1..... btw Markus how was your server runnig tonite.. i was booted and could not reconnect all night and i was in the beginnings of a game with three others

[KenThur]

Not to butt in, but if U are looking for som1 to STICK IT OUT & believes in classic 1x1x, deity... the timing is perfect for moi'.

If others want to speed it up... then go for 2x2x. Add some REAL excitement & speed!

Anything but the usual 2x1x... only way to be compete = build a city everyother turn, don't waste time or effort protecting, don't build anything but a select wonder here & there, hope some1 doesn't stumble into civ before U have expanded to an unsurmountable # of little cities cranking out units. So-o-o uncreative & predictable!

So-o-o, call me?

PS: as those of U that have played w/ me may recall. I'v got a rather good hosting setup: non-cable, 56k, very stable Earthlink connection, & am sorta equi-distance from above cited players. + i do NOT do anything else or have ANY other program or TSR activated while hosting. (do all that on my laptop next to me if the going gets slow... & IT WILL with this many players)
