Ok Krash is back in less than one weeks time.
I have been subbing for him in 4-5 games, I am already
having withdrawls.

I have to get in at least 3 more games going to satisfy my addiction, any ideas?

This is serious either I play more or it is off to the ctp addicts counciling centre.

I heard that they do a good job of brainwashing you there. I hear that in fact when they are done with you you actually end up using your computer for useful things. This is not good, can you imagine that? It scares the hell out of me. I also heard the patch can cause rashes, I have heard the pill has serious side affects, such as an addiction to defraging your hard drive. Just the thought of that gives me the willies.

I am hoping this message gets out to those who care enough about their fellow gamers and would not want this to happen to any PBEM'er.

This message was brought to you by PBEM United LOCO 101.

Sincerely
Addicted

Nuke Boy.

Even you "just" want to sub, some questions has to be asked and something you should know:

Patience. How are your patience?

Game here last for ½ year (death matches) to ?? say 2-3 years?! for normal games.

"Do not know what I should call this": Interests?

You should both read you mailaccount as well as the topic where you are playing. Nearly every day.

Hi Nuke Boy!
I'll try to get you in a game which will start tomorrow. Just post your preferable nation and leadername. I'll let you know tomorrow whether you will be in or not. Otherwise I'll put you in the first game that will start.

How about George W. Bush for Americans or Tony Blair for British

Keygen,

Do I need to install the 1.2 patch?

Nuke Boy

[Av8tor]

Let me know when you set up a new game

[Av8tor]

Keygen I'm interested in playing a PBEM CTP game. I don't have much experience playing PBEM, but would like to try. My e-mail address is nukeboy1960@aol.com

Yes, you must have patch 1.2 othewise you won't be able to play PBEM games at all!
It is recommended to install the hack 1.21 too.
You can find it here in Apolyton in the Download/Patches section.

[Keygen]

Yep. You're in. We just won't start today but probably tomorrow.

[Av8tor]

I'm looking forward to it. Thanks. Any suggestions for playing real opponents?

[Keygen]

Just that they act different that the AI?!
OK, I don't know other player's abilities so they might be easier from AI or much harder. Just be careful while you make diplomacy with the others. Exchanges of any kind might proven much easier than with the AI. But be careful with any border issues with your human neighbors. Humans always get upset with any border violation or by stacking units near their lands. And humans always get greedy on unoccupied lands so harry up!

[Av8tor]

Am I in the game you referred to yesterday?

[Av8tor]

Keygen,

I downloaded the 1.21 patch. Anything else I need to play?

I'd like to join a PBEM game. Not played PBEM before or multiplayer LAN either. Of CTP or any other sort of game!

I've got v1.2 and the Apolyton pack. I've created a PBEM game to see how it works by using some of my own email addresses (I have around 7 different!) and I've got a few questions before I commit. Maybe you could add the answers to the top of the thread?

1) Does the double click on the sent .csg file work? It doesn't on my PC, even though I've associated CivCTP.exe with the .CSG fle, and checked the registry to see there's an entry. Sure the game starts up, but I just get the main title screen rather than the game running with the map loaded. If I move the sent .csg game to a saved game folder it loads OK and behaves as a PBEM file. [Look I don't want to commit to playing if my installation is corrupt and it will crash the game for others. I am a Win98 user.].

2) What's to stop me and all the other players cheating? After I've had my turn, can't I load the game that's saved on my desktop and see the next player's "civilization"? There doesn't appear to be any password protection.

3) Are there any mods I need installed to support some of the maps I've read about for PBEM quickstart, such as "Super Settlers"?
