4th MP tournament (or should that be 2nd?)

[notyoueither]

OK, F-P. I would say that defaults would be the standard though. That would have AP (accelerated production) off. However, I have have no problem with it, and would encourage others to use it in the interests of getting matches finished sooner. If both players agree, that is a good way to go.

[Snotty]

Im not going to be in any state to play this weekend, but I do have a week off next week (apart from mon, wed and thurs nights). The following weekend should also be clear.

Tuesday would be a great day for me, as I can play for as long as needed. The timezone doesnt matter as much, as I have no work the following day.

[Gramphos]

My schudle has been very full lately, and probably will be so for a while more. And I have very hard to forsee when I will be available during the coming weeks. I'm not sure if I'll have to back out of the tournament, but hopefully I'll find time for it.

[Fried-Psitalon]

As of tonight I'm available every night through Saturday for a match. Lemme know....

[notyoueither]

F-P, have you sent a message to Snotty? Try to hook up with him and then let me know. I can play you around his schedule.

[sabrewolf]

hello people!
i'm back, sorry for the incoveniences.

i'm UCT+1 (central european time) and can more or less do any time between 09:00 and 02:00 (again, UCT+1), but my preferences are clearly my evenings and nights (so north american afternoons and evenings).

the sooner the better...


anyone who wishes to play, just PM me, but i may need some initial setup-time because this will be my MP game at conquests (so no need to archer-rush me, as i'm cannon fodder anyway )

[notyoueither]

I've sent PMs to everybody to see if I can arrange a couple of matches this weekend.

[sabrewolf]

i'm available (all times UCT (formerly knows as GMT)):
saturday, 14th: 09:00 - 17:00
sunday, 15th: 11:00 - 23:59

[Gramphos]

I can play sometime during daytime (10 (maybe 9)-18 (maybe 19) GMT) this weekend.

But have to fit in a lot of other things on non playing hours, as well as cooking and eating more fixed to mid day.

Also I don't think I'll be able to spend more than 6-7 hours maximum on this this weekend.

[Snotty]

Ive got valentines rubbish to do on sat night, but should be free in the day 1100-1800 gmt. Sunday, maybe 1200 start, and not finishing too late.

Looks like us three have similar times. Ive got a relaxed saturday, so me and Sabrewolf should meet up if you are going to be rushed Gramphos.

I cant play tonight, but will be checking Poly if one of our intercontinental friends comes up with matching times.

[notyoueither]

OK.

It looks like F-P and I should get some time in on Saturday.

Snotty can meet up with sabrewolf on Saturday.

If Snotty and sabrewolf finish on Saturday, then Snotty can connect with Gramphos Sunday, and I can start a game with sabrewolf. Does that work for you Snotty?

I'll be on from 3pm est (8pm gmt) both days.

[sabrewolf]

fyi: snotty and i are trying to start a game. currently problems on his end. trying 1.12 now...

[Snotty]

Something went wrong in the dual install now both 1.12 and 1.15 CTD on host, and freeze on joining. I need to reinstall but my friend I gave the original civ disc to is away for the weekend, so monday is the earliest I can do it.

[sabrewolf]

if anyone has time... i'm ready

[notyoueither]

My game with F-P has begun, although it has been interrupted by work rearing its head (this post will probably be interrupted as I wait for several phone calls).

We have played a little under an hour, IIRC. Advantage goes to F-P's Inca with a free settler on turn 2 and experienced use of the demon scouts.

Picking Egypt, I almost spewed coffee on the screen when I saw the jungle near the start. Old time DGers will share my humour at this development. However, not all is lost and we feel hopeful that Pharaoh will put in a good showing.

We are to resume the match on Monday evening.
