Formal invitation to all Apolytoners to Zone

[Spartan_RawB]

The Zone has roared back to life in the past few days, and this was actually good evidence that civ2 is holding its ground against civ3 and other multiplayer games.

Contrary to popular belief, the zone does not have cheaters. It's the one or two bad apple who might have ruined the reputation of zone players. Most players I meet here are great to play against, they are highly personable, and they are good strategic players.

I invite the Apolytoners to also visit the zone from time to time. It's real simple. Just visit the zone and leave on your Zone Messenger for others to see you. Add a few zone regulars to your friends list. I've seen Prometheus from these forums visit the zone and play a game, and it was nice to see. On Fridays, we get more than 20 players coming online to play on the Zone, so it's a very time efficient and effective way to get a good Civ game going.

If you need help around Zone, such as player recommendations and such, feel free to ask me about it as I am often online. I think it's important for the Civ2 players to band under one forum, and the zone is a good way to get it started.

So, head on to http://www.zone.com, signup a user name, and give us a visit. My zone handle is Robbie_Tiger. I hope that we can band together enough players to resurrect Gameleague and its tribes, and that we will continue to explore new strategies and insights of this game.

I second what Robbie said. I just wish there were more 2x1x and 1x1x players in the zone.

[DrFell]

It would be great to resurrect tribes, the ultimate way of playing civ2 multiplay.

[ColdWizard]

been there, done that

i drop by occasionally whilst bored to look for any old familiar names. alas, they are few and far between

[DrFell]

Half the old gl players who are still around have new names too, which doesn't help

[ColdWizard]

half the people i check for weren't leaguers, but a lot of them probably changed names too.

[DrFell]

Who like?

[ColdWizard]

well, now that you mention it, i don't know . i've forgotten who most of the people on my list are

one of the ones i do remember is Dayvid_1, had some fun games with him

[cavebear]

That zone link does not begin to work. I just end up in a morrass of ads, MSN pages, and dead ends.

I tried, mind you. But I can't find the Civ2 games area.

http://www.msn.com/

you must go here and create an account with name.
click where it says " sign in"
once you are signed up and signed in , click on the word "games"
in the left hand column under MSN channels.
then click on Civilization II mp.
then it will go to the zone page
click on the "Click here to play this game on the Zone"
click on the "age of glory" room.
then your at the old zone room.

Persevere, my friends, persevere.

I, too, experienced much difficulty connecting to the zone room after they "upgraded" the site. For some reason, my internet browser sometimes kicks me back out to the main screen, telling me that I haven't signed on even though I have.

After much tinkering, I found out that there is a cookie problem. So everytime I have this problem, I head to my cookie folder and erase everything. I close my browser. Then I start the browser again. And when I sign on again, I enter the zone room like magic. ;-)

The cookies are stored in windows/temporary internet files. Just get rid of them all; they are evil.

If you have further problems, write here and I will help you. We need the O.W.L Alliance back in tribes play to get things going again.

Cold Wizard. The old go, the new come. Make new friends. Come to the zone.

Heck, I'll be your friend.

[ColdWizard]

really? first, write a one thousand word essay on why you'd be a good friend

[General Maximus]

yes wiz, i tried to tribe thing as well with Sayen, but hey, sh*t happens. i am now in Tuatha De Danann tribe, we mostly play with each other

there are a few d*cks in the zone, there are d*cks everywhere.

my biggest problem with zone players, is when they think they don't have a chance, they retire, then the guy at war with him retires, then another, then the game is over because i have the top five, or somebody built mikes. BUT, these people are few and far between, there are good and decent players there, i have played with Robbie/spartan a few times. as well as HitYouWithA2X4 to name another. the main problem is not much variance in settings, hence the call to arms to Apolyton.

due to mix ups with long gone cheating Gen_Maximus,General Max and other variances, my zone name is ApolytonMaximus, Formally Chuckles39/Gen_Maximus3, come see us, at least come and b*tch at us, then maybe we can talk you into playing us

whats the worst that could happen? can we steal your birthday?NOPE!

[ColdWizard]

chuckles = general maximus? i guess i've not been paying attention again... so that's what, 3 ex-sayens in Tuatha?

i played a game last fall against sloow, boann, cavebear and chris, fun game but we couldn't get to continue



is the zone still good for one-night stands? (playing a game where nobody has any intentions to continue)
