    Hi I'm Lancer, you might remember me from such classics as 'The First Ever Civ 3...

    ...Championship' and 'One Resourse + One Shield = One Production' -or something like that.

    Anyhoo, I'm thinking of setting up an inter forum Civ 3 Championship, and using my upcoming Solver interview to announce it. I think that most people will be posting in the Civ 3 forum and OT, and there will likely be forums w/ nobody representing. These forums could be adopted by posters from other forums much as a politician will adopt a new state with an empty seat in the US.

    First of all, I need to know if you think it's a good idea, if not I'll nix it. Alot of people from Civ 3 jumped in w/ 'The First Ever Civ 3 Championship' (the gig w/ the Indian Head Nickel of Fate deciding the winner) so I was wondering if you were up for the real thing?

    Interested? Thoughts?

      Well since I won the 'The First Ever Civ 3 Championship,' - Thanks to your good old Indian head nickel Lancer ... Sure, I'm game - after all, shouldn't the Champion step up to meet his challengers?!

        Hey, try the OT before you knock it!

        How did you get an interview out of Solver? Offering favours and Filipino brides or something

          Naw, Rich... I think it is piss AH off (who you'll remember was clamoring for an interview).

            I asked Solver that very question, why me?

            He said I was exactly what he was looking for, because I had posted in the thread in the Apolyton forum that I was OT only (this is my first tentative venture out in months ) and still interested in Civ 3 and playing Civ 2. Also, Eli had turned it down.

            If he had replied to my email with a reason like 'it was to piss off AH', I would have passed too. His reason is a good one, I'm what he's looking for.

            Regarding fixing him up w/ one of my wife's cousins to marry, well that's just coincedence...



            I don't know the fella well enough anyway yet. Provost Harrison I know a bit better, and besides being a Brit, he's ok. Sort of...

            Wittlich, UberKrux, thanks for your interest. I guess your fellow forumers should agree, or vote, or whatever. Pick amungst yourselves.

            One question though...how many humans can we have in a game? It would be cool if we could do three teams of two from each forum...

            Anyone have any ideas on how we should run this thing please speak up, thanks.

                dainbramaged, I figure a couple or maybe three people on a side from each forum playing elimination Civ 3. Last forum standing wins. If the forum you're from is taken, pick one where nobody posts anymore, represent that forum. I suggest the busy forums work it out as to who they want to represent them.

                Unless someone has a better idea.

                  So this is like an Internet MP game that we will play once to see who is the best civ player out of the best civ players? You represent one forum? I don't really understand still sorry. Whatever it is, though, I'm interested.
                  However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

                    Yes, internet MP game, teams though. Two people from one forum play in one game vs two other teams from two other forums. Team victory. Will Civ 3 allow us to do this, that's the question. A forum is like a team, people would be playing for their forum, team victory.
                    Though I hope to be in on it, I doubt I'm one of the the best choices from the OT. I love the Civ games, but am I one of the greats? In my dreams... Maybe I'll just run it, haven't broken wind of this idea in the OT yet. The Civ 3 forum seemed the best place to use as a sounding board for a Civ 3 tourny.

                    Maybe I'll try to get in by playing as a player from an unrepresented forum, if there is one. The OT should have the best possible. We have Ming, rah and AH. I know these people MP Civ 2 all the time, they might be the best choices, there might be more.

                    For now, just looking to firm up ideas. For one, I need to know how many humans can be involved in an MP game? Can't form teams until we know how big they can be, can't schedule games until we know how many teams can play in one game. I'd love to see three teams of two players, but can Civ three handle six humans?

                    We have time, I need ideas from the idea people in these forums. Help make this a reality if you are interested, thanks.

                      Well, hopefully Civ3 will allow the game to be setup with 3 teams (6 humans), and 1 AI - making it a full game of 7 players plus the barbarian factor. Firaxis, can Civ3 handle 6 humans plus the 1 AI?

                        Since there can be one human player and up to 7 AI (before editing) in SP I would think that you could play with 8 human players in MP.
