Hi guys, I no longer have internet access at home, not sure for how long... its complicated.

Sorry guys, I really want to continue our games. Will hopefully not be longer than a couple of weeks. If you need to replace me in the game/s thats ok.

Will sort it out soon hopefully.

No problem if it's only a couple of weeks. Keep us up to date and maybe find some way to PBEM.

Eldramatico confirmed today for 9pm GMT. I'll be there too.

[Hercules]

I am here already.

[bdanv]

friday coming who's in?

[Hercules]

I should be available. 9pm or 10pm would suit fine.

[uselesses]

I can play 9pm GMT or 10pm for many hours!

[uselesses]

Do I have to download this Hamachi thingy?
I used to play using TCP/IP, dunno if its still the same....

In short Yes. It works.

I did try straight TCP/IP with binTravkin and others, but we couldn't all connect.

WELCOME!
There's no way we can finish a game in only one session, so we are looking for reliable players that can be here every week. Are you ready for such a commitement? If not, there is also the possibility to take over a faction from a already started game...
Do you have a MSN account (for instant messaging)?
Please confirm that you have Hamachi installed on your PC, and I'll send you the Hamachi network and password. You can find help in the first post of this thread. I think the links are still working fine.

Hey guys, I'm interested in playing TCP/IP games

hours available: generally between 7 AM (GMT) and 2 AM (GMT) (so from morning until night) but I can take night shifts if I really have to, provided that I didnt play all day already. I'm reliable, if I play I commit to it and I wont let something RL distract me unless she is really hot

msn: andijviesalade AT hotmail DOT com
hamachi: beer

My faction preferences: gaians, university, peacekeepers, morgan, spartans (in this order)
Map: large map of planet (standard map)
settings I prefer: transcend difficulty, slow science, all victories, rest standard

I have Alien Crossfire

Let me know if this is enough info

WELCOME ! It's nice to see some new guys here!
That's comprehensive information.
I'll be online and ready to play starting 9pm GMT. If you wanna play, you will have to join our Hamachi network. I will PM you these details.

Good to see you here.
Where have you guys been all this while. Also I'd be interested to know how long you've owned Smacx. ?

Is it a recent purchase or have you had it for a while and were playing SP.

Hey Hercules

I guess I have been wandering aimlessly until this day.

I have been playing Alpha Centauri since '99 and bought Crossfire not long after that. I've played a couple of internet game in the past but only today it occured to me there could be a living multiplayer community so here I am.

I expect to be totally beaten since I only have tactical experience against the AI
