It seemed like a peaceful encounter to me. No shots were fired . Besides, I remember someone in another game saying something like "boats sniffling around our shores are not welcome".

from friday till sunday I won't be able to check my usual email account (still a not working firewall... argh...)

If you have some PBEM files, please send a copy to my hotmail account,
this_is_klaus@hotmail.com, thanx!

Seems like someone is not appreciating the goods we deliever... One caravel mysteriously lost at sea (bribery suspected because its crew was known to be greedy) and one barely hanging in there with a thin red line...

Is the era of peace over? Why not mutually benefit from the flows of goods between our people? Leave the warmongering to the uncivilized, barbarian hordes calling themselves "The Egyptians"!

Carolus

[DaveV]

Warmongering? Moi? You wound me, sir! Egypt has attacked no one; our only contact with the outside world has been the time one of our diplomats attended a party aboard a Japanese trireme. "Uncivilized" and "barbarian" may be more accurate, judging by the small number of white techs on my F6 screen

[Carolus Rex]

Aye, peace is gone indeed! The caravel with a thin red line, gone! Even worse, another caravel with three (!) caravans, gone...

The Vikings will be punished for their ignorance and ingratitude! If not now, then in the foreseeable future...

Dave, as you may have noticed I'm not available at your lunch hour. This will be so for the next couple of weeks... I'm at the department, but got an awful lot to do...

Carolus

[Carolus Rex]

Just making sure I'm not the one holding up the game. Kengel, did you get my 660 AD save?

Carolus

[kengel]

Yes, I did, and already sent on the game...
I remember Crusty told he is moving and it may last some time till he can play again.

[Crustacian]

Still computerless... soon to be living back at the original Crusthavn by the crystal water.
Hopefully will find a way to take my turns until moved... am undercover at the moment in the job search office PC

As for the alledged acts of WAR off our coast we must deny any knowledge of such things! However even our own sailors must take care around dangerous reefs off our shores, so we can only hope that nothing bad has befallin those enterprizing Souix seafarers with the second grade merchandise.

[Carolus Rex]

Heh, heh, heh!

We can only hope that the reefs spoken of do not discriminate between ships of different tribes. Our brave warriors are surely lonely done there at the sea bottom and would appreciate company, especially from the Viking people...

Carolus

[Crustacian]

Well the only thing we would speculate as being down there for the company of the seafaring Souix might be the bones of the great slain sea monsters from the old days. Maybe a few tossed rings, and maybe even a sunken village.

It looks like this local library will support my efforts to continue by email Civ, if I will uninstal civ off its hard drive when I am finished!!! So withen a few days if all goes well I will check my email and load up civ, and send off my turns.

Thank you all for your patience, and it will be the middle of August before having own PC set up again.

[Carolus Rex]

Hi fellas!

Greetings from Geneva!

Is this game dead? Crusty, you on-line again?

Carolus

[kengel]

I don't think this game will die before one of us do so (of course, looking at the mean life time of men one might question if this game will end in time )

I got a message from Crusty just three days ago, telling that he is back, but still having some trouble with his email account. Again I sent the game file to him; he told he looks forward to send on the file as soon as possible...

Meantime, Carolus, would you care to sub for Eddy in our seven player PBEM for some weeks? I don't know if he reached you in time before he left...
Oh yes, even this game is still alive http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...&threadid=1482

[Carolus Rex]

Hi!

I'm willing to sub, but could you please direct me to the page (of the four in the thread) that states the rules? I have not got time to read the entire thread.

Carolus

[Carolus Rex]

Geneva to Crusty, come in Crusty!

We are not letting this one go, are we?

Aye DaveV, now I know by personal experience that lonely nights at hotels (or, in my case, student residences) are fertile ground for civing. I even play conquest games and scenarios!

I think I set a personal record when I conquered a normal map, deity, 7 civs in 740 AD! And it wasn't a one continent world.

Built HG, STWA, LW, SoL (went commie), LH (in that order), conquered with horsemen, knights and (in the latest stage) dragoons.

The Mars scenario is ok, but I find it difficult to assess the new units and techs. Pretty much like starting from scratch, which is fun (and frustrating!).

Anyway, Crusty, a sign of life, please?

Carolus

[kengel]

I haven't heard from Crusty for weeks now
Hope he is ok...
Carolus: please check email. Another PBEM is waiting
