I might get a turn in around 15 or 16:00 GMT. Mostly available around 2 to 7:00 GMT. That's 10 or 11 AM and 9 to 2AM Eastern.

I prefer playing at higher difficulty to make barbarian battles a bit more honest, but its not that big of a deal.

The only thing that worries me about starting is when someone claims they're committing to play a game for the next year or two, then gets all excited about taking a some extra days to set it up...

[Doc Tsiolkovski]

Even 56k should be able to get it in less then 15 minutes, I would think

Make that 15 hours...

Rommel2D: Don't worry about challenging Barbs, they're scrary enough on any level .

I'll be lurking.

Perhaps I don't know as much about baud as I once thought

I don't know exactly how long it took me, but it wasn't long, and I just have a Bell high-speed connection, and not even the new, expensive with increased bandwidth, etc. I left my computer with 7 minutes in queue, came back ~15 minutes later and it was already done.

[Donegeal]

I live in US CST (or is it now CDT?), but I work third shift wihich means that I tend to play at abou the same time as people in Germany.

So....
1400 GMT to about 1600 GMT. Then again when I wake up at 0000 GMT to 0500 GMT.

[punkbass2000]

OK, so if I'm not mistaken, the best order would be:
PB: 10-11AM EST
GT: 6-7PM EST
R2D: 9PM EST
Donegeal: 9-10AM EST

I have an hour till I leave, so speak now or forever hold your peace

Oh, and we need to co-ordinate barbs. Is anyone currently using 'NoAIPatrol=0'?

[Donegeal]

I believe that you need to mod a file for that right?

Default is "NoAIPatrol=1", correct?

Well, currently, I'm using the default...whatever that is.

[punkbass2000]

Game started, I think we can resolve the 'NoAIPatrol' thing later. I don't have GT's e-mail, so I'll just post it here for now.

I'm at:

[punkbass2000]

IIRC, the last player (Donegeal) decides the barbs in PBEM, so it will be standard C3C. Someone please correct, as I'm not particularly sure.

[Donegeal]

BTW, my addy is my name without caps at yahoo dot com

Yep, you determine the setting for the game. '1' is the C3C default, but most consider this to be broken. The default is '0' with PTW, which is why everyone complained that C3C barbarians were buggy. There is no reason to have this flag set at '1' unless you have a slow processor and SP turns take too long...

This is in the .ini file, BTW.
