Our Civ and Leader

[mostly-harmless]

I believe all Templars chose Malta as their flag, because they are, well, templars?
Unless I am mistaken and Malta has a over-proportional CIV community. :-)

I plan on launching later today - around 6pm edt. (UTC-5).

And at around 7pm the Templars' nuclear strike will occur - if Cyber Shy got all the appropriate changes made.

I will be asleep when the he opens the game, so someone else will have to verify that the password - VariantScum' - works, etc, and so on.

I'm assuming there are instructions for how to load the game but I haven't managed to stumble onto them. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Also, are we allowed to open the game and take a look / see? I'm assuming that the designated player will actually play the moves. What happens if I swap worked tiles around to test growth, completion, research times etc - do they 'stick' or are my changes flushed if I don't save?

For people waiting for the game, here is the latest news:

Ok - we do NOT have ignition.

I still have a technical glitch with my router that prevents access via direct IP. Snoop is working with me on it.

Also, my schedule does not looking much better over the next couple of weeks.

So, we have moved the rocket from my launch pad to snoopy369's. He will commence hosting of the game until I get the router issue solved and a bit more free time.

Sorry for the delay. I expect we will hear something from snoop shortly.

If these delays continue, the start date might conflict with reporting for an RB event: Epic 25.

I probably shouldn't start this until next week (monday) if I'm hosting it - i'm out of town this weekend so it's not a great idea to start while that happens (yay random power outages). I should be able to monday evening though.

make that Epic 26...

You've got to be kidding me! This is the most incompetent group I've ever been around. We're currently on day 94 of planning! Just start the damned game already!

I agree (though the MP tournament directors during the Civ Clan Championships may be close behind), I just hope they don't read our forums much. Otherwise we may receive the coveted desert/river, tundra start with plains/sheep for our food

From the Historians book:
"In the beginning the earth was without form and void ...
... and to much surprise of the restless tribes stayed that way ..."

One would think that technical issues should have been tested and solved in 3 months. Or maybe its just me being so used to tight deadlines in the job world?

The epic tale of trying to organize a single game continues:

I will try very hard to remember this tonight!!! Sorry!

If RB events were run with this level of competence and professionalism, we'd still be waiting for somebody to open reporting for Epic 4.

Doh! Epic 4! forgot to report!

Kidding, but I am getting very annoyed by these people here.

Yeah, really. With no offense intended to the organizers of this venture, I hope they're never placed in a position of real importance. I'd be fired from my teaching job if I approached it with the same incompetence and lack of punctuality. (Speaking of which... I've literally taught an entire semester while this game has been in planning. Ha! 101 days and counting.)
