SUPERBOWL

Dang, wished I had watched for you guys on Superbowl Sunday, I coulda joined in. But I did watch the game.

Tom Brady's grandpa used to be my barber when I was a boy. I think I met him once when he visited his grandma at the local smalltown nursing home. Young Brady spent summers at his grandparent's dairy farm near my little dear old hometown.

Look for you guys on Friday, the wife will be away, and I hope to play.

How long are your sessions?

I don't play Civ 3, (for many reasons) but am still playing MP quite a bit.

I'm at GMT-5 and available weeknights, or weekends.

I am sick and tired of ICQing folks who don't play anymore, and getting the reply "I only play Civ 3 now". My contact list has diminished greatly since the scourge that is Civ 3 was released.

I don't mind playing the runt, or the "has been". My previous history as an "Avalon Hill"er prevents me from being a lousy sport


I would be mightily interested in a game, and look forward to your reply.

Just sent a request to add you to my ICQ list... Just follow this thread and have your ICQ on during times people have indicated that they are looking for games and post your interest...

We are always looking for new players to the group...

[Flatlander Fox]

Thanks.

I'm usually around, so I'll be ready...

Hopefully you'll be gentle the first time with those rules.

[War4ever]

Ming any chance tonite or tomorrow for a game?

[War4ever]

oh and i lost my entire icq list..... needless to say you will need to send me a message for us to communicate....so get on it

All right, so here goes --

New kid on the block, considering MP. Very little playing experience, though I've watched bits and pieces a bunch of times. Finally bought the game. I'm a gamer, but have never done ANY online MP of any type. (A whole new world...)

Would like to join the group in my all-too-rare spare time (maybe Saturday nights?), but have several questions for the group before I know if that's appropriate.

1. I own Civ2 MP Gold for Mac (gasp). Is that problematic with this group?
2. My at-home connection is via AOL on a 56k modem. Is THAT problematic?
3. I totally don't get the ICQ thing. RAH sez it's the communication messaging for MP, but I don't know...
-- *what it is* (software? a comm protocol? a Web portal?)
-- *if it's Mac-friendly*
-- *where I can get it* (...and the associate ICQ address)
-- *its cost* (an actual product? shareware?)
-- *if I can play without it*

Be gentle. Thanx.

1. afaik, civ2 for mac shouldn't be a problem as long as you're properly patched
2. only in that AOL sucks , as i also have 56k modem
3. icq is a free communication software, commonly used by MPers. i don't know if it works on macs though. if it doesn't there are other things to use, such as AIM.
hopefully this link will be useful (my knowledge of macs is limited to that they exist and some people use them)

gentle? i'm the only gentle one around here, mostly because i'm skill-impaired

the group usually plays friday and saturday nights, with occasional other times, i think a couple of weird guys play on tuesdays

finally a small warning, beware the ferrets

He knows... he has sat next to rah on Friday nights while he was kicking your butt... He's been learning at the feet of the master

Nice to see you post -Jrabbit... I look forward to playing you in the future. Maybe ColdWizard would be willing to play with you.
It might be a fair match

[Deity Dude]

I'll be on tonite JRabbit (and for anyone else who is interested in a game) starting between 8pm and 9pm est. I can be found in the following ways:

www.zone.msn.com as " _deitydude"
AIM as "deitydude1"
Yahoo IM as "bob_wland_2000"

Anyone interested in a game, you know how to find me.

Welcome Aboard JRABBIT. Silly me, I didn't realize it was you until I saw Ming's Post

Getting old sucks.

[-Jrabbit]

Thanks for the reponses, guys. Very helpful (I think).

I've downloaded ICQ and will install after finishing this post. Then, will install most recent Mac patch from Apolyton site. Then, presumably, I'll be set to join in the Civving.

...and worry not -- I've been in "Beware" mode with Ming and rah since the mid-seventies. In fact, I was there on the day Ming uttered those infamous words, "Defend yourself, *****!" (Lord knows how THAT ended in marriage...)

Wish me luck on my installs. Hope to be back soon.

Perhaps a nice rah story next time around...

[War4ever]

jrabbit not sure who you are , but any friend of the ferrets or the merciless is a friends of mine....

when your done playing those two lightweights, give me a call and i will introduce you to the big show
