How about some one-on-one Civ CTP?

[dattler]

like i expressed ago, if you find anotherone, please feel free not to take me.
i hope someone of you will join a new game when this bugfix comes.

Quinns, it's alright then. However, I should want to get the scenario 21oct about 1800 GMT, so that I can play my first turn and forward it then, however, it would be even better if you send me the turn about 1600 GMT. I'm spending more time online on the weekends, so I should like to get it before 1800. So, Quinns, get ready for your first PBEM game.
I see the player order you mentioned, so will it be. I will be first anyway, as I'm the game starter, but if you suggested you will be the last one, with BirdMan 2, StJon 3, Arthur 4 and Quinns 5.
I should like to warn you that I'm using German CTP. This will have no major impact, however, messages related to me will appeat in both english and german. For example, you will see that I'm not Jewish, you'll see Hebraer. BirdMan Mexicaner, Jon Hollander, Arthur Deutschen, Quinns Iren.

Okay, good Solver.

I'll try for before 1600 GMT on 21-OCT, but I promoise no later than 1800 GMT.

[Solver]

Perfect, I'll be there then. Everyone, get ready, Quinns, get ready for your 1st ever PBEM game

You mention everything but the difficulty level!

Very important with regard to early 'Crash Builds' as if it's King or below I don't need to worry about wasting Gold on Temples!

[quinns]

Regarding difficulty level -- King
(Did I forget anything else?)

Scenario "HOW ABOUT SOME" sent to Solver.

-------------------

There is the world. Perhaps the settlers can make sense of it all. Peace to all good men.
-- Quinns 4000 B.C.

Nice, then Arthur is in. Quinns, we've got all of them. Send me the map, try to forget the geography, and I will start the puny thing. I hope it will work. All the PBEMs I've set uo before didn't involve maps. Quinns, you know the settings, so I believe you can do the scen today or tomorrow. I'll be waiting for an email.

Alright Dattler, if you say so. That means Dattler is out and Arthur is in, (if you still want in Arthur).

Below are the settings. If I don't hear anything by 21-Oct-2000, 20:00 GMT, I'll assume that you all agree with the below settings. Please advise otherwise. If all is alright, I'll create the scenario on 21-OCT-2000 and send it to "Solver the Scenario Starter" who has had much experience with starting CTP PBEM games.

Hi Solver. Please read the previous messages under this topic. TheBirdMan said he is "Maximillian of the Mexicans". Also, Dattler suggested granting gold to all of us instead of revealing the Map to the scenario creator (and trying to forget it). I agreed with this and will go with it instead of the 5 settlers and 2 warriors you mentioned earlier.

I hope this is satisfactory with you, as I think it is the most fair.
Regards.

Quinns, I'd like to tell you something. After you do your turn, post here and say to whom has the turn gone. I said this just in case you didn't know this.
So, we have started. I'm now sending Turn 0 to TheBirdMan (Maximillian). Each of us seem to have the neccessary 5000 gold, at least I do, hope the others have it as well.
Turn 0 --> TheBirdMan.

Turn to the famous.

Love to see, how the Famous will take care of us the last .... (can't remember, those who do not believe on the rigth and only true are called) on Earth.

Else, nothing to report.

[TheBirdMan]

Nice to see the game is going on, BirdMan. Quinns did some excellent job setting player order, so we can play this faster. BirdMan, is Denmark +0 or +1 GMT? As I like it, two California, we all are close to ech other. Great job, Quinns!
