As I recall people allready posted their choises in the playtest thread, as I stated there, I'll take Germany (well I'd prefer Japan but since someone else allready took them in the other thread I wont go after them here )

[Darius871]

Hmm, I'll take Russia unless someone called it on the other thread; I didn't feel like rereading the whole thing. If someone has, I'll take anything that is open...

Japan for me, thanks.

[JamesJKirk]

I called the US in the other one, so I'll take it here too

From the old thread:
British Empire: Soundwave (I'm not sure if he is still around or not though)
Russian Empire: Dream Deceiver
German Empire: Henrik
France: JMarks
United States: JamesJKirk
Empire of Japan: Winterfritz
Independent/Latin League: Academia

Should someone from this list fail to show up here and claim their civ however, I guess that means it is now free for the taking.

EDIT: Missed JamesJKirks claim for the US

[JamesJKirk]

Exile, should that Latin American civ be played by a human, or is it best left to an AI? It seems like a human would be at an advantage vis a vis the other civs

[Exile]

Clarification;

Soundwave's not going to have the necessary access to execute his turns in a timely way because of his current situation. Additionally, I'd like to leave the 7th, Independent civ vacant. Academia, would you prefer to take the British?

It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

I'll start sending out the Scenario files to the players now.

And thanks for your participation.

edit; For those who didn't get into this playtest, there is another, Identical thread over on the CivFanatics site. So far, over there the U.S., Russians, Germans, and British have been taken. That leaves the Japanese and French. Prom, better hurry. Darius, if Prometeus takes the Japanese over there, that only leaves the French. I only posted that thread this morning, so move quickly.

About the sound files; There are 2 sound files, both zipped. Each one is just under a full meg. So, let me know when I can conveniently send these to each player. It takes for-freaking-ever to send one of these monsters and I don't want to send one and have it come back undeliverable. These files are essential for getting the full feel of the scenario. I was able to locate some very nice sounds for various units, though many of the naval gunfire sounds remain unchanged.

[Soundwave]

WAHHHH!!!

Well i dont have access to a computer for another 1.5 weeks, except for a gay town library one!

[JamesJKirk]

Couldn't you just send the sound files to one person, and save that mail and then forward it to anyone else who needs them?
My mailbox has a huge limit, so you can send to me anytime.

Soundwave, I don't think the sexual orientation of that computer has anything to do with your not being able to play civ

Actually . . .

Attaching the file to an email only takes a split-second. It's the lengthy uploading process that takes forever, and I know of no way presently to circumvent it.

Wish I did.

[Darius871]

So far, over there the U.S., Russians, Germans, and British have been taken. That leaves the Japanese and French.

Actually, my CivFan login is Darius (not Darius871) so I already have the Russians there .

Just keep in mind I'm always around to fill in on this one if necessary.

Small addition to Victory Conditions.

In the Victory section of the ImpRead file, please note this little change, in 2.) "Win the World War" ; "Allied" victories do count as victory in this context. All players in an established alliance system can win if the capitals are occupied by troops of the alliance.

Darius; understood.

JJK; sound files sent.

It's in the Multiplayer and PBEM forum of the Civ2 section, in a thread titled, "New scenario requires playtesting." My handle over there is Peregrine.
