Iron Civer Tournament- Coliseum C

[Moonbars]

I am free tomorrow evening, we could try for some rapid fire turns then?

[Andydog]

I'm not free this evening but are free tomorrow evening (28/4/04) from 7:30pm UK time (sabrewolf I think that's 8:30 GMT).

How does that sound guys? It would be great to kickstart this game to the interesting parts!

[edit: actually 7:30pm UK time is 6:30pm GMT]

Thursday

How about Thursday evening - wednesday is baaaaad.

[sabrewolf]

andydog, is every tuesday bad or just this one?
moonbars: is wednesday also baaaaad?
thursday is always my worst day... i'm usually not home before 22 UK-time.

if we can't get a day which is good for everyone, let's at least try best effort. check your mail before and after work, during the evening when you're at home and before going to bed (if your partner allows ) ... then at least we may get an average of 2-3 rounds per day through.

speaking of GMT: is daylight saving included or not included?
if not, i prefer speaking of UK time (=wester european timezone)... this summertime/wintertime makes all more complicated

[sabrewolf]

btw: where's the game stuck? is everyone using this tracker?

[Mickeyj]

And onto moonbars,

I'm heading out for the evening in a few minutes.

Most Tuesdays are unfortunately.

Guys what would be ideal is if we could agree 1 night a week where we spend a few hours playing some quick fire turns. Tuesdays won't be good for me for a few weeks, and sabrewolf can't usually do Thursdays. I assume we all go to the pub after work on Fridays?

I would therefore suggest Monday nights or Wednesday nights (if Wednesdays aren't always going to be baaaaaad for Moonbars).

Please can everyone provide some feedback on this:
1. Are we all willing to allocate a few hours of one evening a week for some rapid fire turns?
2. If so, what evening? Monday or Wednesday?

I'm also up for a rapid fire turn session during the weekend, if we are able to organise it. How about this Sunday, 2pm to 6pm UK time everyone? If this is not convenient, is there any other time this weekend that would suit you?

Daylight saving is not included in GMT. Currently the UK is 1 hour ahead of GMT because of daylight saving (ie 10pm UK time is 9pm GMT). During the winter when it isn’t daylight saving, UK time goes back to GMT. So from now on we’ll speak in UK time okay?

[Moonbars]

This wednesday is not baaaaaaad anymore, it's looking goooood now, so we could do this tomorrow?

Wednesday is actually normally a good night, but Mondays are not (race training) so i'd be up for wednesday night civ.

I work nasty shifts, sometimes I get up at 5am, sometimes as late as 8:30, and I can be at work until 4:30pm -> 8pm, so if we pick a regular time 8pm-midnight works best for me!

[sabrewolf]

it looks like wednesday is the _only_ day during the week that suits all (maybe sometimes on weekends?).

so lets try it tomorrow. i should be home after 17:00 UK-time and around for the next 7 hours after that

20:00 to 24:00 suits my quite fine on most days.

moonbars, will you play your round today? :wink: :wink:

btw, what does the late sentence mean? 1st word "moonbars" and later "everything"... tricky tricky

[Andydog]

Play that turn Moonbars! Always prioritise the turn! And then after you've played and sent, tell us what the deal is with that last sentence of yours.

[Moonbars]

I don't have the turn yet!

Besides I already did a turn today, so there.
Perhaps there is a hang-up in the email system somwhere.. perhaps we could think about another system for doing quick-fire turns.. perhaps send them to each other on MSN messenger?!?

And onto moonbars

why didn't you say you didn't get it?

MSN messenger is even more unreliable than email. and it's not calles "PBMSN - play by messenger"
other solutions could be an FTP account or attaching the save here... but to be honest, i prefer the mail solution. as safety, everyone could specify 2 addresses?

[Moonbars]

I just did say I didn't get it

I figured it was in the pile of mails waiting for me after work, which I have just finished with but it's not.

Gotta sort out the recuitment agents from the civ games from the viagra spam, don't you know!!

[Mickeyj]

It's off to moonbars now 8:06 GMT

[Mickeyj]

I'll be around this evening for a few turns. Not sure how long i'll last for, pretty stuffed from no sleep last night and still nursing a hangover.
