Interested in a C3C TOURNAMENT?

If you have not won a 1on1 in 2-3 hours it should be pretty clear whos going to win. If you are losing a slow meat grinder war you should have the grace to concede. I guess if you end up with two pacifist builders then things could drag out a lot longer.

If you have a broadband connection you should be fine. The lag only gets crippling when you have too many players. It will be slower than you are used to, but patience is a virtue

Ok, 2-3 hours wont hurt much I guess

And since I probably wont survive the first game, it wont be that much time spent on this

[Adagio]

Anyone up for a small test-game? I just want to see if it works on my computer...

Doesn't have to be a complete game, just the first 100 years or something would be great...
I tried today with some random people in the room, but there seemed to be a problem, and I don't know if the problem is my computer, or theirs...

meet me on the chat room (#apolyton apolyton.net irc server)

[Adagio]

ok

[Adagio]

After trying a couple times (Both against MarkG and some random players) I have found out I can't play this game online... I have to back out of the Tournament

[notyoueither]

What was your ping, ADG? Do you have broadband or dial up?

[Swissy]

More importantly, are you on a router and what type of firewall do you have up?

if there is no ocean between players, i'm confident on 2-3 hours games. experiences anyone?

civ has gone backwards if a multipalyer game can be finsihed in 2-3 hours imho. I enjoy the longer games where nations can come back from behind and win

I had a ping <100 (got ADSL). I have a router, but no firewall. Solver said the problem was because I was using NAT (?)

[Swissy]

NATs are death to online civ playing. a NAT is a hardware firewall. You must forwards the ports needed to play online. These are found in the read-me.

We need to get this thing together. Ive just had a run of utterly unsatisfying MP games. Plagued by dropouts, newbies and sore losers. I want to play the elite that poly has to offer.

Can we run this tourney as an 8? With ADG gone we only have 9 players left so we could lose the last one to sound off, or something.

Whos on today? I've got all day to play. Maybe we can organize a time, grab a few people from the in game MP lobby and get going.

[Adagio]

How about if MarkG did a little "advertising" in the OT..?

I only saw this thread by pure coincidence... have only been in the Civ3 forums once for a very long time...

[MarkG]

ok lets start this
i'm droping out as i'll be unavailiable until thursday

with 8 players we'll only have three rounds so i'll be able to be in the next

i'll post a new thread in a few minutes

[MarkG]

done!
