this place went quiet quick...

[Arnelos]

Ok, granted I haven't been around much lately myself (the election and all) and tonight is the most free I'm going to be until sometime on Wednesday (only because we got back early from our bus trip)...

but, man did PTW suck the life and soul out of this demo-game... First, 3-4 major voices quit... Second, PTW finally comes out and quite nearly NO-ONE is posting here anymore...

While I know a lot of people are probably busy trying out PTW (guilty as charged here as well) and their posting energies are being expent on the PTW MP intra-site demo-game area... still, that isn't going to start for quite some time yet and THIS demo-game is still on-going!

So I guess I'm just wondering if a lot of people are moving at just giving up on this SP demo-game and converting to MP or whether they REALLY intend to do both concurently.

Personally, I'm totally cool with continuing this game - we're just getting near the industrial age. The game is FAR from over. But if no-one is going to play... well, I dunno.

Here, but busy as usual...

[WhiteBandit]

I haven't been nearly as active as I should be, but school has really put a cramp on things. I also have PTW, but haven't touched it since Friday night (got it on Wednesday) since it is in a fairly dismal state.

RL has really gotten busy as of late, but I still consider myself to be here.

Exams...girlfriend... moving out...going to Australia for summer...losing high-speed connection in one week...

All this means I am a shell of a President ATM, but I am not being lost to PTW - I will no longer have access to a computer by the time it reaches NZ.

[Shiber]

School mostly. I do check this forum several times a day and I for one wouldn't like to see us disband this game.
Haven't gotten PTW yet, btw. I'm waiting for several other books and games to come out and then I'll make the entire order from Amazon or another dealer.

Setting up the PTW Demo Game, and becoming the next Sid Meier.

Seldon crisis ?

[Meshelic]

I've noticed this as well. Since the PTW site came up, practically nobody has been posting. No big deal, I mean, I'm going to get involved with the PTW Demo games but for the time being it seems like a good thing here suddenly burnt out....

So my plan works....

While everyone else is away we may have peace after all!

I'm here. Very busy (my wife is in a business trip, and I'm a father AND a mother for a few days more), but I'm still here...

I'm here, but with very little time. School's a killer, and things are catching up to me . Also, all the time I am spending needs to go into things like the Gazette and the Directory, both of which are far behind. Add in the $-minigame, and a newZupdate that badly needs to be done, the reduced time I do have here suddenly doesn't seem like that much...

Hopefully, next term'll be better .

Enlist some help ada. You do not want to get over-run, over-wrought, and fed up.

Could be, triggered by PTW.....

I had though that It was slowing down Alot. I was begining to think that I was the DG version of the Omega Man. Then I had gone to 'Polys main Civ III page and had read that PTW WAS out (along with it's first patch hours after it's release). I had then starterd wondering if we had just voted in a New Con, just to have no one to play it.

I see that I'm wrong (somewhat), but there is still some discussions (and decisions) that need to be made before the turnchant tonight (3 GMT = 11 EST; I just hope it doesn't last until 4, my time).

A pain (and a joy) I know all too well. Take care Mr Mom.

I will be returning in a few weeks, don't worry. The Excitement of PTW will also subside, don't fret about it too much. The game has gone in cycles, losing activity, gaining, losing again...that will continue.
