Lol JP :0)

Well I have prize money to pick up Friday at the annual Darts Year end party, so Friday is out.

I was thinking we should try to pick a best as we can weekend time to so Gav would not have to play at 3:30 am again.
I could tell he was not himself :0)

What do you all think?

I think there is 6 hours difference? So early Saturday, Sunday or afternoon, how's that?

It sure was fun heh especially the setup lol.

[quinns]

Saturday at 9:00 a.m. PDT would be fine with me!

By the way, I got the following chart off the internet. Gavrushka, take a look at the following chart. It says that London is one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. That corresponds to what I thought as well. Right now Los Angeles time is GMT -7 due to daylight savings time. Does that sound right? If so, then I was right about the meeting time last night. If not, then sorry for the confusion and I'm still confused!!

Current Timezone: Greenwich Mean Time -- Thu May 3, 2001 = 16:00 GMT 2001

Current Timezone: America/Los_Angeles -- Thu May 3, 2001 = 09:00 PDT 2001
Current Timezone: America/New_York -- Thu May 3, 2001 = 12:00 EDT 2001
Current Timezone: Europe/London -- Thu May 3, 2001 = 17:00 BST 2001
Current Timezone: Europe/Amsterdam -- Thu May 3, 2001 = 18:00 CEST 2001

[Gavrushka]

I will be there, .... I have a note of caution to Tank Commander Ice..... My Samurai has made a major breakthrough....The Armor Piercing Sword...

There is gonna be a major dispute as regards rankings, as when A flag is captured, what happens to jpww? Who ranks where?

Man it was hoot last night!...erm sorry I mean this morning....

[Azrael]

I would only be able to play for an hour at that time. Maybe we could start an hour earlier?

Darth

[jpww]

I can capture my own flag If you don't mind

[quinns]

Sure. 8:00 a.m. PDT (15:00 GMT) is fine by me. Even 7 a.m. PDT would be fine as well. Please acknowledge the GMT time zone reference above, though. I would hate for Darth and Gavrushka to have to wait FOR AN HOUR AGAIN!

I thought we dropped the "Capture the Flag/Capitol" rule, due to JPWW's being solo! "Every civilization for themselves!" No attacks until 2200. No mandatory alliances. (Though Gavrushka/Quinns and Damien (Darth)/Blackice are still teams.)

[Gavrushka]

So we are playing on Saturday... We have two hours as Darth has to stop then... After complicated calculations... , expertly executed, we should all get to play one turn..... well after we have managed to get the game loaded..

[blackice]

Gavrushka lol just one?

Sounds good to me lets confirm the times then 11:00 am est for me is eight Quinns, ok that and 10:00 am either day is good for me.
Might be a tad late Saturday but not much.

Ok with me the rules of free for all etc. First game, and I am sure we will find another player. We can then do gigantic map and 3 teams
Maybe even keygens mod lol. Beware it has been tested it does work online, but never been tested on more than two players at a time.

An hour or two a week thats fine with me too, as Quinns has pointed out some where you sure can play a lot of turns in an hour or two. We chat in game not in lobby it is time well spent


Quinns and I have had what? three games, last one ongoing. In what three weeks or so Quinns? It goes fast.

Some may or may not know this. I have not run any tests or anything but here is something online I found out that works most every time.

Changing your government;

When the screen pops up to say do you want to change your government blah, blah.

Click yes, then go to civ tab and change it there too.
I found that this offers faster government changes, one to two turns on the average.

Anyone notice this too? Try it

Hey, you can change Governments in CTP? Don't believe everything you read in the papers.......

[blackice]

Honestly the manual says you can heh

[jpww]

I have time to play either on Saturday, as late as 10:30p.m. EDT, or on Sunday afternoon (EDT)

BTW, I've never had so much fun setting up a game of any kind before!

Alright, without objection, let's make it 7:00 a.m. PDT on the Cal 12 Server on Saturday. That's 10:00 a.m. EDT, 14:00 GMT, 15:00 London BST.

I can play for 3 hours then.
