Format Poll (Pitboss vs. PBEM)

[Aro]

I have 3 computers running 24/7... P4 Dual 2.7 GHz, 2 B of RAM, Pentium 4 3.0 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM and Pentium 4 2.40 GHz, 1 GB of RAM . The dual CPU is my main workstation (well, I play civ on it ), the other computers are for backup workstation & storage... And I think I can host a game, if necessary...

We need a demogame advertising poster...

Dave - thanks for the insights.

Aro - thank you, you may get called upon.

UnO - I concur. Maybe Turtle and I can work something up together, unless you were offering. . I think the ad should push the pitboss idea, as that seems to be winning this informal poll in runaway fashion.

I think the key now is to have someone come forth and flat out say, "hey I have a server and we can use it" Of course once we get posting about it, Ozzy is gonna show up and talk about how much it's like a Diplogame and how we should all sub for someone

Seriously though, we need a server before we can advertise.

Well... I think Aro can run in on one of his three comps.

[Aro]

Yep.

Of course, eventually I have to re-start the systems (upgrades, virus def, windows updates, clean up the dust in the CPU's, and so on)... I hope this is not a problem.

I dont think so, any online game like this is going to have downtime. And the time we will save over the course of this game doing it Pitboss, will more than make up for some minor inconvience here and there when you are doing server maintenance...

Dust in the CPU??? You mean you are not running it in a climate controlled, dust free environment??!!

The downtime is understandable Aro, and would be a necessity regardless of who is running it.

Looks like you may be the host.

Exactly!

And I live only a half block from the sea (Ipanema ), so I have to be very carefull cleaning the inside of those machines... Or the salty air will ruin them.

[Aro]

Btw, this will be our server: a workstation DELL Precision 380...
