CtP World Cup 2002 Discussion Thread

[quinns]

Okay John (Yoda) thanks for posting. I just now saw your post after waiting on gamesrv for 15 minutes.

After much thought, I also am withdrawing from this tournament.

Sorry. This is about the 6th or 7th time that I have reserved time to play this tournament only to be postponed for one reason or another. Though I know the players have good reasons for not showing up, it is now becoming kind of ridiculous. Combine that with absolutely NO other activity from the other players, except Yoda, and I believe that some of the earlier "nay sayers" about this tournament were right. It will not work.

Anyway, that is my explanation for leaving. I am out. Good luck to the rest of the players, if ever this tournament really does get off the ground.

Solver, please find a replacement for me in this tournament. Thanks.

I am willing to play anyone in this tournament via pbem. That way we do not need to schedule a time to play. Just play when you can. I have two successful one-on-one starts with pbem now and I think that is the only way we can really play against each other.

Sad, but true, this is the reason I never got into GL..but I wish the best to the rest of you, and Yes, i have about as much experience playing as anyone here, NOT as good mind you but have seen and chatted with some of the best, hooking up for a tournament this size, well, Good thinking and best intentions ..but we all know that the road to H E L L is paved with many a good intention!

Best of Fortunes all, see all you Greats in the servers and playing just good old games, like we have done over the years!

Quinns, I'm sad to hear that you are pulling out. I sure hope it wasn't because of the problems you and I had (I had that is...). My hard drive went on me and I am in the process of replacing it. I didn't lose very much (if anything) from my hard drive. Seems just the sectors that had some of the system files went.

I will have it up and running later tonight I suspect, but with leaving tomorrow for a couple of days means I won't be able to play until next week.

Please re-consider staying in the tourney. It may take a bit of time to finish, but I believe it will still be fun games. If you are dead set on not continuing, I can understand. In either case, I hope we can continue and finish the game we started (for fun or tourney).

I suspect what happened for most people that signed up is that they got burned out. They probably practiced the map and finally got kind of bored with it. Too bad that the mention of a tournament stopped so many people from playing. Other than Paul late at night, or Dr. Doom, I haven't seen anyone from the tournament playing at all. Who knows, perhaps this is the end of CTP???

Hello
I don`t have a internet connection right now. I even don`t have telefone. I had to change my house. Now i don`t have money to pay telefone bills. I dont know perhaps ill be able to play in 2 or 3 months but not for sure. Perhaps it is better to exclude me of the tourney.
Sorry Yoda i moved very quickly out of the flat. In 2 days I forgot to send a mail to you.
Greetings to all tourney players - have good games
Ill play civ3 now. I hope to see you guys later.

Damnation... really sorry to see you leave, Quinns. Hope you give it another consideration, as it would be a great shame to see another of the greats leave before a single game is completed.

Yoda, good luck in fixing your PC stuff.... I know how it feels.

Filix, are you still staying here? In any case, see you in Civ 3 PBEM, too .

No, I don't think this is the end of CtP, but we must all agree that CtP is no longer a current game, and we're basically almost the only people playing it. And due to problems with scheduling online games, here's what we get. This is why I strongly prefer PBEM - online games are hard to schedule, and things like this tend to happen.

No Yoda, it wasn't because of your problems that I left the tourney. It was just a cumulation of events that led to my decision. We can continue our game some time, that would be fine. But I am out of the tournament. Sorry to say. You may be right as to the reasons why no other players are posting or playing.

[Keygen]

Quinns is right. I would have done the same probably if I were into his shoes. Having little available time and postponing other things just to play in a tournament that never comes can be an offense.

I was ready to play you on Saturday but that won't happen eventually

Well, we shall meet on the PBEM Tournament then

So 14 left.

Paulno1, when will you be available?

[Solver]

Keygen, why 14? There were 16, Quinns gone, now it's 15.

And, of course, we have to get a replacement.

Anyone?

[Keygen]

Didn't Filix just dropped out?

[Solver]

Didn't get it... right...

I want suggestions. Find 2 new players (started already), or leave it 14?

[Keygen]

I don't know how the Tournament works, haven't read that large thread about it

So I am not sure what to suggest

[Solver]

You must !

[Keygen]

[J Bytheway]

I recommend staying at 14.

[Solver]

Same thought here. 14 it be then, I think, unless suddenly 2 very wanting players come.
