A new day and 2 new states.

Arnelos, I put you down as rural. Correct me if I am wrong. Pick a city you are closest to if you are in the suburbs.

ZargonX, same thing. I put you in Baltimore, simply because the best police show ever was situated there. If you wish to correct me and go to DC, just let me know.

[Grandpa Troll]

I am a CTP Freak..yeah.Love it so..but have been practicing this game, gonna give it a whirl.

I am Troll, but when I try to enter it sez someone has my nic. I chose Troll during Battlefield 1942 and I believe its same server service..Gamespy??So I picked my old handle Patton. I tried to enter and it did once, but second time it refused.??

At any rate,

Available most evening and most weekends

I'll try to figure out why games are so laggy, I have tried 3 and all were at a snails pace.

Hope to see you soon!

[ZargonX]

notyoueither: Baltimore is just fine. And I am in complete agreement on the subject of police shows.

Try finding some people close to you, Troll. Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland maybe. The closer they are, the better it will work. I've been lucky and have found a few people in the same city as me (or very close INet wise). Also keep in mind that the host will have more lag than the clients.

I know it is not ideal, and you have to be patient to get a good game on. These are 2 of the issues being addressed in the next patch, according to Firaxis.

Hang tight, and in the mean time I hope the list helps you get some good games.

Have you gotten into any games, MRay? What were they like?

The lag killed it. Doesn't look like a 56k connection is going to do the trick. But no DSL or broadband available in my area

Jon, I put you in DC. Correct me if I am wrong.

WarpStorm, I put you as rural. Let me know if you want to be any more specific.

And Ontario is represented. I was wondering if you all planned on hiding.

Weekday evenings, weekends.

I've been in several games, but the only ones I've gotten to work are those with 5 or fewer people. Turnless is fine with one or two opponents, but beyond that it's unbearable. Simultaneous works the best so long as everyone stays at their computers for the duration of the game.
