I believe it's the latest drivers that causes the problems... I downloaded the latest drivers last time (Just did a reformat yesterday)... at present time I don't have any drivers installed (Can't use the buttons now )

[Adagio]

We've got all players now

We just need two things now: emails and timezone... when I have the timezones for all players I'll make the playing list..!

IIRC, GhengisFarb is GMT-6, Tarquinius GMT+1 and NYE is GMT-7.

I have an optical Logitech mouse. Bought it for €19.95 in the MediaMarkt. It's the best mouse I ever had. My mouse at work is also an optical Logitech, albeit more expensive than mine at home.

Oh I forgot, you backwards Danes don't have Euros... tse!

my current mouse is getting old, so it's about time to get a replacement for it, though I haven't found any good replacement yet. Since I require my mouse to be ergohowit'sspelled and wireless, there's not many mice to chose from... basicly I have only found 2:
1) The one I got now (Which also is the same as my mouse before my current one)
2) A mouse for €100... too expensive for me... it's also optical, but I couldn't care less about it...

Tell me about it

There are wireless optical mice, IIRC from Logitech too, but they are expensive. Optical mice have the benefit, that you don't need to clean them all the time for them to work. All my ball mice I ever had worked bad, the ball got slippery with the time and dirt collected inside at the rollers. Can't happen with an optical mouse.

[Adagio]

Yeah wireless optical is expensive, but I'm not really interested in paying extra to get optical, but I can't live without wireless... but there's only two mice which are both ergo and wireless... at least from what I've seen avaliable in DK

... Did you have some older driver for it?

I'll try tomorow to see if I can get it working with the newer driver, but I doubt it...

Oh, and btw: to y-wrapping as well as to predefined different replacements. I still think the idea of a "game mentor" or "game referee", who gets all passwords and all saves as CC and plays if a player is not able to play in a predefined time (48 hours?) in a fair and unbiased way. This works well in other games (Civ2, CtP), so why not here?

I like these ideas.

48 hours should be plenty of time

CC of saves: Iffy. I'll likely end up creating a secondary hotmail account just for saves, and old saves would be purged regularly.

Y-wrapping: spoilsports.
I'll just remake the maps, since I missed the water coverage by a bit.

[Harovan]

The water coverage and the fact that they were small instead of tiny.

How about a little barter- if you can get me a good deal on some Ecco hikers, maybe I can dig up some Logitech bargains for you stateside. ;-)


Would anyone have trouble playing a turn within 24 hours of receiving it? I prefer the defaults-to-the-referee rule over having substitutes, if this works for Octavian.

Octavian, are Civs being assigned randomly then also? If so, I think we might want to consider the Y-wrapping feature again. It could give seafaring civs something more to do with their ships. (I haven't played a seafaring civ in SP yet, so forgive me if this would be irrellevant.)

[Adagio]

Shouldn't we just have all players chose their Civ (Or should we edit the rule so all Seafaring Civs will get another trait instead of seafaring?



I'm checking my mail every day, so I wont have any problems with the 24 hour limit...

How should this substitute work then?
1) One player who's not participitating in the tournament gets all passwords. If someone doesn't play the turn within the 24 hours this substitute plays the turn
2) One player from game 1 is a substitute for all players in game 2, and vice versa
3) The index-substitute I posted earlier

Cast your vote

Btw, I've got an ftp which can be used for exchanging the saves (It's not used for anything else anyway). I've got a 1024/512 connection, and the ftp is open 24 hours a day (The saves can the be avaliable directly from the web (So you don't have to connect via ftp to download the file... this is optional of course)

What do you think? Would anyone use this? In my oppinion it's much better than ordinary emails, since they've always got this # mb file limit, and a save can be large

[Harovan]

Well, does your ftp ring a bell if the save arrives? My email does...
