Apolyton CtP2 Lemur Trophy: MP Tournament Thread

[Wittlich]

Yep, I guess we'll find out in about 45 minutes from now.

[TheArsenal]

Hmmm. Strange happenings indeed. My only suggestion is check the system for a poltergeist.

I don't seem to be having any problem entering the lobby or creating games.

[Shadow]

Whitlich & TheArsenal, go to the Apolyton main page and enter the chat room, we'll talk there.

[Shadow]

The game of Wittlich, TheArsenal and Shadow has been postponed until tomorrow, due connection difficulties.

Restart at 0100 GMT.

[Dinner]

We had one player call to reschedule last weekend and I'm afraid I just got a new job and will have to spend this weekend moving to a new town. Lucutus, I might be able to still play if you tell me exactly when we will play ahead of time so that I can be sure to make time. I most certainly want to play but moving will make this difficult. E-mail me and we can find a way to make this work.

[Maquiladora]

Mauro can we test our game before friday? I would like to know its ready, instead of faffing about before we start playing. Ill be in the lobby tonight and tomorrow at 7pm GMT+1.

If anyone enters the lobby to play can they make sure that theyve closed every program, including icq and most certainly exited apolyton chat room. You wont have anytime to check those anyway when youre playing.

Seems like Wittlich is still having some problems with connecting too

That's an understatement...But yes, I believe my problem is with my router.

I have DSL coming into my home, connecting into my router, and my router supplies the internet connection for all 5 of our computers (yes, my partner is a network administrator).

The problem I think is happening is that the game server wants the same IP address for upload and download on a given computer. I have one IP address (assigned by my ISP provider) and then my router assigns all the computers on the network another IP address....my partner is planning on buying a better router which will (hopefully) solve this problem, but the purchase will not occur for about another month...So I guess that I have to step out of the tournament until my partner and I can resolve this router/IP sharing/quasi-firewall issue.

[TheArsenal]

Wittlich: Too bad about the router. It would have been fun to get this started with you on board.

Shadow: If everything is set on your end, I am still available to play tonight at the same time, but will get their right at 1800. Do you mind hosting?

It's looks as though Toni is stepping in for Wittlich, but it sound as those he is waiting to get the official blessing from Locutus. If he doesn't post here to confirm, I'll guess we'll just wait and see.

[Peter Triggs]

Locutus hasn't posted in a couple of days. I think he said something about having trouble with his computer. Maybe you guys should sort it out amongst yourselves.

[Dinner]

That might be best. How does Saturday morning at 16:00 GMT in the Netherlands server sound?

[ETB]

Maquiladora and mapfi – I hope you have good luck with our game. I would very much like to finish off the Irish! Unfortunately, I have a commitment at church Friday evening so I can’t play then. Sorry guys, I forgot about it last Sunday when we took our break – I must have been too eager to continue! I am available Saturday and Sunday afternoons (evenings your time) if mapfi’s plans have changed. Otherwise, we can try during the week. I should be available after 9:00 PM GMT (due to that work thing) so I don’t blame you guys if you want to wait until the following weekend when I can start earlier in the day. Let me know what you want to do.

BTW – right now I am sitting on the balcony of my beachfront room in Key West looking at the moon’s reflection on the Atlantic Ocean! This work thing can be REAL tough sometimes!

Hey ETB, yep better wait until we can have a good run at things, rather than just a few hours here and there. I guess its down to Mauro this weekend. Gonna try and test the saved game tomorrow so we'll see.

That would be like noon or 1pm est right?

[Dinner]

Hmm, 18:00 or 19:00 GMT? Ok, I will go for 18:00 GMT on the Netherlands server this Saturday (Sep. 21st). Will that work for the rest of you?

[Shadow]

My game with TheArsenal and Toni (in place of Wittlich) has started smoothly.

Toni's off to a flying start from what I can tell, with TA not far behind... and my expansionistic efforts leaving me squandering back in last...

Lesson: don't spend every last (start of game) dollar on settlers that subsequently get killed...

To be resumed possibly Monday.
