    Host Wanted!

    There is still the question of hosting this game. Aro had volunteered awhile back - but not sure if he is around on a regular basis these days. Have tried sending PMs, but both times his PM box has been full.

    So, Aro, are you still around and willimg and able to host? It will mean a commitment to be around here regularly - at least daily - to ensure the game is running OK. Would be great if you could and would.

    Either way - please post here.

    And in the meantime, and just in case, are there any other folks out there who are up for this, and are NOT already hosting a pitboss game.

    Also - are we doing this via direct IP? Yes?

    I believe someone could host a second PTBS game by setting up and running a virtual machine as long as the hardware is not too old and the installed RAM not too small. Not sure if it would work with GameSpy, but with Direct IP certainly.

      I don't see any reason to stipulate the host can't already have a game running. To Pitboss it will be the same as any other 9 person game.

      I have been hosting two games for quite some time now with no troubles (except my frequent travel equates to a LOT of downtime).

        On Gamespy or direct IP?

          Direct IP. I'm not sure what advantages Gamespy hosting would have.

            Aro is definitely around somewhere as I received a PBEM from him earlier today.

              Should someone try to email Aro?

              If he hasn't specifically edit his profile to automatically send an email notification every time he gets a PM and rarely reads his PMs then it might be a better idea to send an email instead. I guess someone has his email address?

                His email is on his profile. I have been emailing him regarding a PBEM we are both in with very little response..... By all means try to muster him by email, but don't hold your breath in the meantime.

                I have posted in the PBEM turn tracker asking him to pop by at his earliest convenience.

                  Perhaps he doesn't use that particular email often, who knows...

                  I will have to agree with Beta. We do need someone very reliable and fast in responding in emails. Visiting this forum is optional but a fast response to emails is mandatory

                    I'm quite new to CIV SP games, and have no idea about MP, apart from the idea that I am assuming there is a PBEM style of play. Could someone post on what is being asked for here? For instance, what would the host need to do, exactly, and why would they need to be in prompt email contact? How would such a game go down, from loading to saving and sending/passing to the next team.

                    This might help us find someone to host, if Aro is not available any more. I'm sure a few of us who know him of old could try chasing him about it too, and if this info was at hand, it could help convince him, should he not already know what is required.

                        As things look now, I recommend looking for another host candidate as Aro doesn't seem to have much time available...

                          MrWhereItsAt, I've posted a FAQ here in this forum with a short summary of what PitBoss is all about and a couple of links to more info.

                            Have you guys found a host yet? If not, then it's possible that I could find someone from the Strategamer site to host one (we have rather a lot of Pitboss games running there anyway).

                              Well, Aro is supposed to host this game but haven't seen him around so not sure.

                              If you can recommend someone reliable and fast you're most welcome
