Hey Sir Ralph, what are you quiting for?

Come on mate, lets get the Tournament happening...

[Harovan]

It's not the tournament... it's my general attitude towards Civ3 at the moment.

[Paddy]

well mate that is a shame...

I have only had one opportunity to be in a PBEM with you (while I sat in for ADG) and found that of all the people that I approached for a wrap up, you were happy to help out, and very informative.

Please, stick at it, Civ III is a good game.

[Harovan]

On a sidenote, if Ghengis replaced me, it would also fix the completely messed up turn order, since we'd have 3 Americans in a row, the time difference of which doesn't really matter.

But I don't want to quit. I just consider the game in a too messy state to play at all, honestly.

[Paddy]

As I stated over on the Game 4 thread, my hours are all over the place. Struth SR, look at the times that I post, they can be anywhere 24/7.

And I believe that Big Free said something like that as well.

So my understanding is that only E_T and your hours really matter. Do you agree with that?

[Harovan]

Still if I straight follow E_T, this generates a certain delay of 18 hours, and that every turn (assuming E_T plays at his evenings).

[Paddy]

Sir Ralph, I am not going to win any arguements if you already want to leave.

As to a guaranteed 18 hour delay, this is not guaranteed if we are all on line occasionally at your 6pm.

For this conversation I wish that either Wittlich or Bongo were on line. I play seperate PBEM's with these two and yet being at three massively different time zones these games are really moving along.

Oh and on PBEM games, I am in 10 C3C and 2 PTW PBEM games, most of which are recorded at the PBEM Forum.

Most of these games are hooting along quite well.

It is only the games with more than 5 players that are lagging...

Your choice, your time, yet we all lose if you quit.

[Harovan]

I don't quit, I will play. It was just a proposal to let Ghengis replace me because a) he's eager to play (while I'm not anymore in the sorry state of the game) and b) it would fix the turn order.

[Paddy]

excellant, glad you are going to stick it out...

it will be a good tournie, especially if we can get the first few turns of the ground and all...

[Harovan]

Still I'd say we wait until the official patch end of February.

That´s right. Even though Paddy is the only player from another time zone our game moves quite fast.

[Wittlich]

I agree, even with Paddy being in a different time zone, I have no problems with the speed of our current PBEM game.

[bongo]

Time zones doesn't matter really, what matter is availability.

Just want to add that we(me, Paddy, IJ and Johann Moritz managed 4 turns this friday without prior planning. Okay, so we got lucky but 2 turn per day is not unheard of if our availabilty match.

Why are the games running west to east? Since it seems to be too much of a problem to work out specific availability times, why not just go with the usual, common sense east-to-west system? Everything else being equal, it should give a faster turnaround time.
