Setting up IP games XXXI

[War4ever]

Good game Ming..... had i established an embassy and/or not lost that archer to a wrong arrow key things would have been slightly different......alas civ is full of what ifs and if only i had etc..........

Thank god there were no disconnects so it would appear that my problems have been erased *knocks on wood*

Rah i assume you'll be around this weekend sometime for a game..... and hopefully you can play a full session with me....

I would like to try an earlier start so we can play longer..... by the time 8pm rolls around your time we just dont' get the proper amount of time to roll out the war machines

Timbo..... leader of the rusty but fully connected HORDE

[rah]

I truely hope your problems are solved.

Yes, I will be around this weekend. Barono will not be available at all this weekend, so if we can find others, I have no problem trying to start 45-60 minutes earlier on Friday. I know that would help. AND even better, our Saturday tee time isn't until 8:08 so I don't have to wake up at 5:30.

Rah... I'll try to get my wife to drive me to Kenny's so I can drop the car off... that should help you start sooner. I will still need a ride to golf in the morning...

And bring dinner

[Bird]

I should be around tonight, but won't be around tomorrow. What time do you guys start on Fridays?

[rah]

Usually around 8 cst, but we would like to start earlier tonight.
7-7:15

RAH
It would be nice to know we have at least three. One more would be better

[Bird]

That works for me.

[SmartFart]

I won't be available on friday,but I would like to play on saturday evening usual time.

[ColdWizard]

i'll try to make myself available in case y'all need a sub or an easy mark


i could use a crossed-fingers smilie....

[DrSpike]

don't know what I'm doing yet, but msg me in icq before you start and I'll play if I'm here. I'm not sure exactly what the time difference is between us.

cst is GMT -6, if that helps

[rah]

For those of you that aren't familiarly with my routine, On Fridays, I play from Ming's house, so icq's should be directed there. On Saturdays, I'm at home.

RAH

yes -6 is correct

[DrSpike]

That does help. Seeing as the site suggests UK time is GMT-3, this means I'm 3 hours ahead of you guys. I probably wont be around till 8 CST (if the above analysis is correct), it is Friday night, after all.

A few questions for any regulars:

How many hours do you play for?
What modifiers are used as compared to the SP game?
Also, if the same players play a lot why doesn't the host save games so they can be finished?

[Bird]

DrSpike: we usually play for 5 or 6 hours on weekend nights. We play deity, raging hordes, no city bribe and no tech trading. We play 2x production, with normal movement. Your final question has no good answer.

[rah]

all good questions,

And while I was typing, I noticed bird answered most of them.
Same answers. We do play on small rocks to encourage conflict.
No alliances.

We normally play "RAH" rules, (don't ask, it's a source of continual aggravation)

For why more are not continued, there are a lot of reasons, but the two main reasons are.

1. While we usually play with 12 or so different players and the occasional newbie, We like to limit our games to 4 players so the turns don't take forever. It's usually not the same four every week.

2. (PRIMARY reason) if you play for 5-6 hours with only 4 people, you can usually get near A.D. By then, either one person is far out in front, or one person is getting his butt kicked. The only games everyone wants to continue is when they're ahead or it's real close. This doesn't happen much. We have continued some games, but very very few games ever get to nukes, and that usually finishes them. Most of the games that I've been in that were continued were those that I was behind and agreed to continue.
