How about some one-on-one Civ CTP?

[quinns]

I'm new to CTP PBEM so any suggestions on set-up are welcome. I play about King level. Thanks.

I guess this was a bust. No interest in One-on-One. Okay. How do I get in a new game? Any help is welcome.

You cann't conclude it that way. One day isn't much waiting time here

Most of us play in 5 to 10 games - and it's hard to find the time for playing AND for posting diplomacy.

Actually, I'd like to play if this involves about 5 players. Games with less players aren't so interesting, games with 8 players are too slow. Also, it's not good to have any AI players in the game, as this will then not be a human only game. If this game is about to live, here are my suggestions about the settings:
5 players
Medium Map
Max Barbarians (I realy love those red guys)
Map:
60% Water
100% Diverse
50% Trade Goods
60% Continential
I offer this as I love playing a game, where a strong navy plays an important role, and there's a small possibilty that you're starting alone, with noone nearby. So, I guess we'll soon see is this game to live or not, as others come. If it will, I'm Solver of the Jewish with my email ugita@latnet.lv

What's the matter? So far there's no attention paid to this game, why don't you all want to play? You can never be in too many PBEMS at the same time.

Ohhh Solver - yes you can.

When you can't remember who you are (Hagar, Wiagra, Ivan or ..... or whatever) and you are sending the turn to the wrong (I im d... sure, that I have played and send it! - Ups... wrong recipient).

Then you are in too many games.

I have it like this just at the moment.'

Next problem is, 1 or 2 days - no turns.
Next day 6 turns!

But keep going pal..... Ohh... still - please get that warrior and that "something-else" a little to the north. I really don't want war.

Wiagra - sorry Hagar....

Sounds good, Solver. Count me in with exactly the settings you mentioned earlier. That's two players, we only need three more...

[quinns]

Thanks for the advice, Bird Man. I guess I'm used to playing chess on-line, where the response is almost immediate. Still waiting for three more players.

Some of you guys might be interested in the Lungmatch tournament. It's a series of three-player deathmatch games, so you should get 24-hour turns with lots of death and destruction

The tournament is technically full, but there are a couple of pikers who are unsure whether to play in the rematches. With keen reserves, i can give them an ultimatum to play or concede their spot to someone else. There are some semi-final spots up for grabs, to decide who is the best CTP deathmatch player in the universe!!

Holler if yer interested

[quinns]

Lung -- Please count me in the death match tournament (as a standby player). I'm not that good but I'll give it a go.

[Lung]

I'm a bit busy at the moment, but i intend to get it happening again shortly I'll keep you informed.

[dattler]

i also would like to join.
but there are still this gamefile-problems with win-linux mixing. loki anounced a bugfix in near future.
if you wont find enough players else, please ad me to your player list; someone should do my first turn and then put me to AI. when the bugfix is released, i could join. but feel free not to take me to your list. all settings will be good for me. If we want to get contact in the game soon, we should select a fitting (small in relation to players) landmass.

Great Solver!

I vote for:
Regular map size (as described earlier)
King
5 Settlers
2 Warriors
2000 Gold

Nation to Represent: Ireland
Leader Name: quinns1

Timezone: Pacific (California, USA) (GMT minus 7 or 8 hours)

[quinns]

Dattler is in. I imagine that it won't be much of an advantage to the player setting him up (as long as the player doing the set up ignores the small scale map while doing the set up -- on my honor).

Alright Solver, that leaves two more players needed. I can set up the scenerio on my computer (with a little guidance from someone).

Still looking for two more players...

[Solver]

Well, agreed. I will start the game, as soon as two more players appear.
Dattler and Quinns, what civ would you like? So, Dattler will be turned to AI after his 1st turn made by one of us.
One more important question: what king of a quickstart scenario shall we use? If we all start with just one Settler, first 10-15 turns are of no interest, for sure. I don't know how to create scens, moreover, I think there's something wrong with it in my German CTP. However, here are my suggestions for this: 5 Settlers, 1 Warrior (perhaps 2), about 2000 PW and 3000 Gold.
Speaking about game settings, I would also like to know which difficulty level will it be. Here i want you to vote, as in CTP I'm not an ultimate expert. I can beat Warlord with no problems ever, and I can beat Prince with some problems. So, my suggestion for this would be Prince, however, I think we can also try King, but Deity is too difficult for me.
We should also have a name for this game, so that we cn identify it.
What are your timezones, guys, and when are you making your turns? Just to know when can I expect my turns to be recieved.
