I'll be gone from the night of the 19th till the night of the 21st.

That is bad news indeed, my fumbling friend Enjoy the break

I will be out from the 18th through the 22nd.

Though I have already missed the 16th and 17th....

I'll be gone from the afternoon of the 24th through the afternoon of the 28th for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. I'll be a 6-hour drive away from my computer and without access to any machine with Civ3 or any connection better than a dial-up modem. Yes, that remote region of the planet otherwise known as "Eastern Ohio".

Since it would seem likely to me that many of the U.S.-based players will have connectivity issues that weekend due to the holiday and travel plans (largest travel weekend of the entire year in the U.S.), I'm guessing that I won't need a replacment or at least finding replacments for everyone would be more hassle than its worth.

If people I'm in games with loudly complain otherwise, I'll consider it, but it's probably too much hassle to find enough replacement players for every U.S. player that's going to be out that weekend.

By contrast, I *will* be available over the Christmas holiday for continued PBEM play because that's being celebrated at my parents' place here in town.

... whereas I'll be unavailable for 3 days around Christmas and quite available during Thanksgiving (US) for similar reasons, but the opposite.

I'll most likely be unable to play any turns for about 48 hours, due to being out of town. I'll try to load the game on my father in law's pc, but have been unable to do it in the past (setup.exe brings up Windows XP setup- any ideas?).

[snoopy369]

Um, i'd guess d:\setup.exe maybe? Not familiar with his computer setup, but it may be a simple fact of the paths not being configured properly - or the Autoplay not being fixed?

Maybe your father-in-law is a wise and intelligent man who doesn't want you squandering time playing games on his computer?

I think he's a wise and intelligent man who doesn't want me squandering his time on the computer.

I maybe delayed playing over Thanksgiving, as well as a lot of The Americans here so I guess it wont make much difference.
