CTP Internet Ratings (NEW)

[Franses]

Thanks jpww. I will try as soon as it becomes available (some sites can not be reached to day, one of which is this one).

[Swissy]

Sign me up.

Since it looks like Gameleague is dying a slow death, I might as well find somewhere else to get online competition.

You might consider playing the games at lower levels(Chieftan, Warlord, Prince). The games go faster, cause the tech is faster. Also, the granary/settler trick doesn't work as well cause the settlers are built as fast as it takes to get to size 2.

Are you talking for the "trick" Quinns had raised some time ago or for some other feature?

My time is quite limited for online gaming but I could give it a try if you are up to a relatively slow game .

Blackice and Gravuska could be interested. They play online games and a slightly different kind of ratings from the PBEM ratings might convinse Blackice .

Unfortunately the site referred to by jpww did not help me out. The problem seems to be that I do not know how to define a UDP mapping service. I am able to define a UDP protocol using the right port but the proxy server does not let me bind that to an external server (just does not see an option like that). Can someone help me any further? I am using MS proxy server version 2.0 on a Windows 2000 server.

[blackice]

Do you have more than one IP address bound to the external network interface of the Proxy Server with packet filtering on? If so get the Service Pack 1 (SP1). It resolves the problem with the Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0.

If not email me cause I need more info.

With Gavrushka, Swissy, and Keygen, that makes nine. CLOSE ENOUGH!!

WE HAVE LIFT OFF!

I will set this up the same way as the CTP PBEM system with some rule changes. The "internet" player names will have a "_I" (for Internet) at the end of their Apolyton Handle. For example, GAVRUSHKA_I and SLAMP_I.

Our first CTP Internet Ratings game is underway as well, with Gavrushka, (Blackice), and Quinns competing in "Three Old Gits on Islands".

*** Ratings Updated *** ... and Darth rockets to the lead!

[Franses]

Finally the dutch are in the lead . (Thanks to quinns)

[Keygen]

OK, I propose a 4-player game with me, Swissy, Franses and Slamp. Normal map with CTP Mod lite for accelerated start. It will be relatively slow as I can play on a few hours per week, possibly 2-3 hours on Saturday, 2 hour on Sunday and an hour some other day(s) of the week.

So guys, I simply challenge you! I just want to kick your pretty butts .

[Keygen]

BTW, I would suggest for any new online game to post in the Youngbloods Recruitment Center. Its primary purpose is posting new challenges though it was originally created to get new players involved in PBEM games. It is as well for online games.
Just note to define that the game will be an online one .

[quinns]

LOL Franses! Yes, the Dutch take the lead!!! (via alphabetization but, nevertheless, a lead is a lead is a lead ) CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DUTCH!!

And that's great Keygen... A Challenge is afoot! Yes, that's a good idea to post the new game challenges to the Youngblood's Recruitment Center, and keep this thread mainly for just posting results, (though challenges can be posted here as well).

[Franses]

Challenge accepted

Keygen, I accept your challenge. Like Quinns I prefer to play two hour sessions. I can play on Saturdays from GMT 8.00 to 24.00 or somewhat later if necessary. I can generally also play on other days (if I know beforehand) from GMT 20.00 to 24.00 except on Tuesdays. Sunday is in general not possible for me.

I suppose we accept the rules as defined by Quinns at the top of this thread?

What is the CIV lite mod? Do I have to install something for that?

[Azrael]

The Dutch take the lead...thats a first LOL. Well to defend my first position i challenge everyone who wants to play....come and get that first position people...

[quinns]

You are on Stephan Darth Viper! How about next Saturday at 7:00 a.m. California time. That is 4:00 p.m. Dutch time I believe. Two or three hour session.

BTW we have noticed that the one-on-one (two player) games are fairly stable with internet play. Three or more players causes major resyncs and drops, no matter what server you are on, IMO.

[Azrael]

you're on quinns....saturday sounds good to me
