Impressive story. I´ve heard in the past weeks from some people who have been laid off / out of work and not all of them had such a positive attitude to do something to get a new job as you had. Respect. I wish you luck that you really can keep the job you´re now in although it´s quite uncomfortable to work at night.

It's not nice out there right now. A lot of people have given up looking for a while, which would make the unemployment rate higher if they are.

I just heard about a groserystore chain that's shutting down and putting 3000 people (IIRC) out of work.

I'm very thankful to have what I can.

no objections here.

Game 1 people: Sorry, but I don't feel comfortable re-assigning the old civs. New map, new civs. I don't think it's fair to other tournament players, who all had their civs picked at random. They didn't get any special treatment when it came to the placement of their civs, seafaring or not.

Like I said, the only reason this game is being restarted at all is because Rommel2D accidentially saw what he wasn't supposed to see.

Luck of the draw, my friends.

I'm going to create your new map, but I won't send it off for 24 hours or so, just in case someone comes up with really good reason for me not to take the course of action I've already outlined.

[predesad]

well, i disagree, but i defer 2 ur judgement even if i think it makes the game unfair

No, it isn't fair that some players were given civs with a trait made weak to start with due to map settings, then additionally stripped of one it's benefits. I guess the important thing is that the games are started...

I don't object... as I mentioned in the other thread: I wouldn't mind getting some really crappy civ, as long it's not the you-know-what-civ

Game 5 is still being delayed. Unless I'm much mistaken, I only have passwords from MasterZen, SAMUEL2904, and Beta. I'm still waiting, Arnelos.

Sorry, didn't realize that I needed to get this to you. Sending now.

EDIT: sent

[Octavian X]

OK, Games 1 and 5 have been sent. good luck, and have fun!

BTW - Anyone think we should try to advertise our little tournament? Fill out a few more games?

[Paddy]

um, hi there,

how many games would you like to have here?

[Adagio]

I don't think we should do some more advertising, otherwise the final game would be a battle of 8 players...

Maybe we could start a second tournament for those who didn't make it to Tournament one, but I don't think we should start that one before this tournament has been started....

[Adagio]

And Game 1 has been restarted:

ADG: Arabia
Conqueror: Egypts
Rommel2D: Spanish
Predesad: Portuguese

[Arnelos]

Game #5 now has its own thread.
