4 Player MP Game - Maq, EPW, Toni, Barley.

[Maquiladora]

So can we say 11:30pm GMT (12:30am BST) that we can all make it?

[Toni]

I will be here 11:30 gmt friday

[Barley]

Toni & I are ok for 11.30pm BST/GMT. Will be on ICQ from 7pm so if anyone can start earlier all the better

[Barley]

This post is at 10.26 GMT... GMT = Greenwich Meantime and is the same as BST in my book, by 11.30pm Maq I mean by the clock on the wall assuming your in UK.

[Maquiladora]

BST is 1hr in front of GMT from around March to October every year, we're still in BST at least for a couple more weeks.

On my watch your post was at 10:27pm BST, which is 9:27pm GMT.

Ill just take it any time you mention is from the clock on your wall.

I may be on earlier Barley, it looks like it would be me and you as a team, so we can get some practice, formulate some kind of a plan etc?

[Maquiladora]

To save a little time setting up later heres the mod we usually use, or I have the last time I played you all.

x3 slower sci
1.5x giga
no ruins
no graphs (incl one in loadsave window)
all tech choices
starting 3 techs - relig, agric, toolm.

As Toni mentioned it might be an idea to play a smaller map to actually finish in one night. If we agree to play with a smaller map you open up const.txt from ...\ctp2_data\default\gamedata and edit the line:

MAP_SIZE_GIGANTIC 105 210 2

[Barley]

Toni & I are on ICQ waiting.

[EPW]

I'm coming just got home...sorry

[Maquiladora]

You drop out Barley?

We're in lobby for next 5 mins.

[Maquiladora]

OK we called it a night for tonight Barley, we can all make it at 11:30pm gmt next friday, let us know if you can.

[Toni]

Just wona say onething great game guys, looks that it will be very interesting. This diversity sets makes it perfect for team games. I'm just sad the we will have to wait till next friday to continue our good game. Most important is taht we alll are here then, i know for sure that i will be here, don't wona miss the game for anything.

Again great game, see you my friends & enemies soon

[Barley]

Really really sorry guys, I fell asleep.

It’s the fist time that’s ever happened to me and I guess I should have said something. I was lying on my bed with my mouse just playing away and it was getting harder and harder to rouse myself for each turn…….then wammo it was 6am and unsurprisingly youd all gone.

I can continue any time and guess the next round will be Friday.

Once again im really sorry…

[Barley]

Oh just so everyone knows, 11.30 is a little late here in UK (obviously) and although not usually a problem im working 50 hours+ weeks at the mo. If we can start any earlier it would be better, if not ill try and make sure ice had plenty of sleep the day before.

[Maquiladora]

Yeah its late, would Saturday be better Barley?

If EPW and Toni can play earlier Saturday rather than a late Friday it would be better I think. EPW mentioned 7pm gmt on a Saturday, are you regularly available then EPW? If not we'll just take the Friday.

Likely I can play any day or hour as long as I know enough in advance.

[Toni]

I can play anytime on Friday, Sat or Sunday, i just hope we can have atleast 2 days of playtime next weekend.
