O.K. Then I will organize it:
raven.nevermore@gmail.com
Send me an e-mail if you want in... I figure we can probably agree on a pretty basic rule set.
Large
Continents
All victory options
No AI
All Random Civs
Rest of everything else on default?
How does it sound?
GE-Raven
Gonna sticky this in a second, But of course my email Info...
Stephen.sirgod@gmail.com
WTG Raven for Organizing this thing. Look forward to it.
Stephen

O.K. for those not familiar with PBEM here is how it works.
I start a game, after my first turn it gives me a file that is saved to the PBEM directory that I e-mail on to the second player. He/She e-mails to the third... Finally the last player e-mails me one and turn 2 begins (Yes the first few turns will be REAL slow).
Now I recommend we start an order and go all random on the civ selection (to avoid any wrangling for certain civs). So how I think it would be best is I will keep track of who sends me e-mails first... and that will be our order I will edit this list to let everyone know the order, and I will use the e-mail to send you the e-mail address of the person you will always send to (until they are e-liminated)
O.K. I will make the list here:
Turn order
1. GE-Raven
2. Sirgod
3. FerretLXIX
4. Lieutenant_Q
5. 762_XC
6. Mr. Tricorder
7. Dracho
8. Commander La'ra
Get in fast so we can get started.
GE-Raven
-
I would If I may, reserve a spot for Ferrit, He's the one who Initially suggested this, and with him being 6 hours away time wise...
Stephen
-
I'm in
-
In.
-
In.
-
I have one question. What happens when player X gets passed the email token and we don't hear from them for 3 weeks? Is there some kind of time limit we can set up before the AI takes their turn for them?
-
I would hope it wouldn't come to that, but I believe that there is a way to replace said person with an AI.
I'm in. (And please let me NOT draw Monte!)
-
Sorry, guys... life just got a bit more complicated tonight over dinner with a 'friend.'
Don't know if I'll be able to get in.
Why do I always wind up with the hard luck cases? ::)
-
K I need an e-mail to my raven.nevermore@gmail from:
dracho
762_XC
Commander La'ra
7 so far is pretty good.
Would hope we could start soon.
GE-Raven
-

Because you like being a "White Knight"?
Been there, done that. The self-sufficient ones are more... frustrating.. but much easier to get along with long-term.
-
If it's not too late, count me in too.
I've never done multiplayer on any Civ game before, so I'm not altogether sure how it works, but it looks like fun.
Also, I'm at my parents' house this weekend and won't be back at my dorm room until sometime tomorrow, so I won't be able to start until after then.
-
Reminder I need anyone who wants in to send an e-mail to raven.nevermore@gmail.com
Need the e-mail address to play by e-mail.
GE-Raven

GE-Raven
Done.
-
sent you an e-mail
-
Sorry I didn't say who I was in the email. My email is danny.hensel@gmail.com so you can change "Danny" to Mr_Tricorder
-
So... in the interest of "getting started" I think this is the final list:
1. GE-Raven
2. Sirgod
3. FerretLXIX
4. Lieutenant_Q
5. 762_XC
6. Mr. Tricorder
7. Dracho
8. Commander La'ra
Figure 8 players on a large world should be good.
I will send an e-mail address to each of you of the player right after your turn. This is who you send the PBEM file to. If you have a default installation... this file will be generated in My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Saves\pbem\
The final folder should be the name of your leader. Now I think all you do is "load game" from the multiplayer/ PLay by e-mail option. This will highlight the PBEM games area by default. Upon opening it for the first time it will great you with your leaders name (eg. Julius Caesar, It is your turn!) You then click O.K. and take your turn, after your turn it will auto save to the above listed area, and you send that file as an attachment to the next player in line.
So I send to Stephen
Stephen sends to Ferret
Ferret sends to Lieutenant_Q
Q sends to 762
762 sends to Mr. Tricorder
Tricorder sends to Dracho
Draco send to La'ra
La'ra sends it back to GE-Raven
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So The settings are as follows:
8 players, no ai
Random for all players
Noble difficulty
Map: Continents
Size: Large
Climate: Temperate
Sea Level: Medium
Era: Anchient
Game Speed: Normal
All victory conditions on.
No cheating checked.
No game turn limit.
No city elimination limit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
After our first game (it would certainly be possible to have a few games going at once) is started we can discuss a more "extravagent' rule set if we want, but I think Keeping it Simple would be a good starting place.
So without further adue I am going to start the game and send the file on to Stephen. You should be receiving your e-mails shortly.
GE-Raven
-
BTW I found out it tells you the name of the Civ that goes next:
GE-Raven = Ghandi (India)
Stephen = Mansa Musa
Ferret = Gengis Khan
Lt. Q = Napoleon Dynamite
762 = Hyuana Capac
Mr. Tricorder= Cyrus
Dracho= Cathrine
La'ra= Qin Shi Huang
-
My move done, Email out to FerritLXIX.
stephen
-
What's the hold-up?
I hate to sound impatient, but it's been two days since we got this started and I haven't even taken my first turn yet. I've been checking my email like crazy. Did someone kill me off in the first turn without telling me about it?

I believe Ferret is quite a bit of time-zone away from us. Last I knew of Stephen sent to him.
BTW once you send please post the next players leaders Identity... so we can easily know who is who.
GE-Raven
-
That begs the question, should there be a time limit before your turn is played by the computer or something?
-

Not sure how that is done. I think once you "automate" a player it is a one way trip. Early on it wouldn't be a big deal and I could just have the player "re-email" the file to me, I would judiciously "plunk" the first city down at the begining site and start building a warrior (Or scout for those civs) as suggested by the AI.
I am fine with 3 days.. hard part is it is hard to judge who has the file.
GE-Raven
-
Ferret is in the USN. I'm not sure if he's on ship right now or on leave. If he's on deployment he might be a while.
I think we do need some kind of limit, or this thing will die pretty quick.
-
Well let's say if Lt. Q doesn't have the file by Noon Central time tomorrow I will have Sirgod send it on to me.
Everyone ok with that?
GE-Raven
-
Sure.
I think as the game develops and alliances start being made, we will probably each want to designate an alternate for us to take our move if one of us will be afk for any length of time.
If ferret declares war on Raven later, he probably won't want him taking his move any more. <snicker>
-

GE-Raven
I'm ok with that. IMHO if he knew that he might not be able to play for several days, he shouldn't have signed up for the game (I don't know if that's the case, but if it is that's my opinion).

Personally, I would be hesitant to let any other player, even an ally, play for me in my stead. Hopefully I won't have to since I don't plan on being in that situation as I don't plan on being away from my computer for days at a time. I may let my roommate play for me if I have to be absent for a couple of days, although he and I have greatly different strategies and preferences when it comes to just about any Civ game.
-
Sounds good to me...honestly, the logistics behind this kind of game are a bit mind-boggling. Even if we can get two turns a day done, which I doubt, the game will take almost a year to complete (If it goes into the Modern Era). I wonder how many of us are going to be able to keep up that kind of commitment.

Maybe we should try a "Quick" game instead.
-
I'll give Ferrit a call later on tonight. I know he's only 6 hours or so differance.
Stephen
-
Maybe we should appoint an extra player to act as a referee and play any missed turns.. for all players. That way he'd have no interest in cheating. Maybe set limits like: Can't declare war on another player, etc.
-
That's a good Idea Dracho.
Stephen
-
Genga-Ferret just sent to Napolea-Q
Sorry about the delay, been really busy.
-
I'm ready to send this on...but I have what could be a very...uh...stupid Question...how do I find out what email address I'm supposed to send this to?
-
I'm sending it off to 762 aka Hyuana Capac, via his address listed on the board. If he has another place it was supposed to go, I apologize, but I wasn't about to go to bed without shipping it off to him.
Napoleon Q. Bonaparte ;D
-
don't forget to tuck that hand in when you sign off. ;D
-

You should have received an 3-mail from me with 762's e-mail.
YOU ALL should have the e-mails you need now. Please let me know if this isn't correct.
GE-Raven
-
I have not received such an email. And, shouldn't we have the email of all the players involved so we can have a diplomacy part to the game? :)
-

That would be up to the individuals wishes, you can pm them and ask, however I will not be publishing anyone's e-mail with out expressed written permission.
I will re send your e-mail

Ditto with me.
Stephen
-
Move done, sent on to Cyrus (Mr Tricorder).
-
Well if everyone aggrees I will make a post with the name, e-mail address, and ruler once we have them all.
Cool?
GE-Raven
-
It would be silly if I didn't agree. ;D
-
Yay, Persepolis has been founded! :singing:
Dracho, you're Cathrine. I just sent you the file.
-
Any word on where it is right now? I'd like it to get back around to me by tommorow because I'm gone all day Sunday.
-
I think andy (Dracho) has It, I'll give him a call and see.
Stephen
Update, Just left him a message. He might be working on one of his homes today.
Update 2: Yep he was working on one of his Homes late, But he sent I yesterday at 8pm to Commander La'ra. Don't know how to get ahold of him, so maybe drop him a pm.

Guys, If I go out and buy CivIV, is there anyway I can join?
If not that is ok also. having way too much fun w/ Empire at War. ;D
-
Sure man, we are planning on throwing out another game after this one, or maybe It would be better to run two smaller ones, like a ladder league thingie.
stephen
-
maybe It would be better to run two smaller ones
stephen
I was just thinking that.
-
or have 2-3 games going at once.. stagger the start times so that you're generally always getting a game.
-
I just got Civ IV today. Give me a few days to get used to the interface and the game and I will be ready.
And yes, I will patch the game to the latest patch out there. ;D
-
Got the turn on the 23rd and didn't play it or send it. Sorry, guys. Been having trouble getting into gmail, and was just checking with the notifier...which woulda worked, but gmail thought it was spam and thus I couldn't see it that way.
I just got home from work. I'll play through it tonight and send it on.
-
Well, that means you wont have that problem again, or doesn't gmail have an add to contact list function?
-
Correct. Shouldn't have any more spamness.:)
-
I'm betting things will speed up after this initial turn.
-
I sure hope so. At this rate, we'll be playing Civ 5 by the time this game hits the intustrial age.
-
O.K here is the master list with e-mails:

36 hours. What's up Lara?
-
Last one I got I sent on to Raven yesterday.
-
Coolies. In the interest of moving along I suggest we post in here when we take our turn. I for one do not check my email nearly as much as the forums (mostly because I don't feel like deleting tons of spam every day).
-
MSN Messenger checks my mail (every time I log in it brings up the last fifteen emails that have arrived), when I get about 100 junk mail, I take the time to go in and delete. ;D
-
sent it to ya Q.
And for everyones general info, if you guys can contact me via AIM or MS Messenger.
-
Oh...wow...Glad I didn't play another Zero Hour Skirmish...usually that Mail notification comes up no matter what I'm doing...hehe
Coming your way 762...
Sing Along!
Baba Yetu Yesu Ulyie! ;D
Btw, Dracho, not to criticize your playing style or anything, but...uh...why haven't you founded Moscow yet?
-
mooooooooving right along
15 minutes 8 seconds! w00t
Tricorder, you're up.
-
Ok, this is a question that bears bringing up. I was just over at the Civ Fanatics Forum, where they are, once again, whining about the next patch not being out yet. But it brings this up...What are we going to do when a new patch comes out? Obviously we all have to do the same thing, assuming of course that the patch doesn't let us continue playing because of a compatability issue.

Played and passed to Lara. I'm out of pocket until tonight.

Well that's not quite what I mean, getting the same patch won't be the issue...getting the patch itself will be. The Last two patches for this game have been far larger than my pathetic Dial-up connection can handle.
-
well if worse comes to wosre, I'm sure somebody is more than willing to burn a copy (Of the patch) and send one out to whom ever needs it.
-
Well, I have a round about way of getting it. It just means that I usually don't get it the day it comes out, and have to wait until the weekend.

I'm up for playing a second game, anyone else?

I allready bought one game at full price this year and that was "Empire at War" I may have to convice myself, and the wife, to let me get a 2nd game at full price.
Who knew 06 would be such a good year for games..... ;D

What is the status of starting a second game of CivIV?

I'd actually like to know what the status of the first game is.

Yeah I sent to Ferrit Sunday also I believe It was.

Man Stephen, you are behind!
Check Page Three. LOL! I sent it out a lil while back shortly after you sent it to me.

Um...
I think you have it again Ferret.
Put the shiny things down and check your email!
-
I'll check my e-mail when I get home but, I didn't get anything yesterday as of 7:00 P.M. Hawaii Time.
-
Yeah, this is why I think peeps need to post in here when they send something.
-
Thanks Stephen! Got your resend.
Sorry it's moving late for you guys but Mom in law had her B-day and I had to entertain (Cooked a steak dinner and drank a few Whiskey Sours.

-
Wrong! BSG don't start for another 40 mins.
Plenty of time for Tricorder to take his turn. ;D
-
Turn taken. Time for Dracho to play.
I'm going on a camping trip next week. I'm leaving for my friend's house on Wednesday evening, heading over to the camp site on Thursday, and won't be back until Saturday. If I can't play by the time my turn comes around again, is there anyone following this thread (that isn't already involved in the game) who would be willing to take my turn for me?
-
CayneG would be the man to ask. I know he's been wanting to get in and see what the system is like.
Stephen

Played and sent to Lara

Played and sent on.
A side effect of the slow pace is that when you get close to a new technology you get really excited! ;D
Also, won't be on again till Monday. Venturing over to Oklahoma, where, according to my girlfriend, the roads are straight cuz all the curves are on the women.

About half way across the state. Idabel is pretty close to the OK / AK Border. It would be about 5-6 hours away due to the curvy roads down there.

Since when did Oklahoma border Alaska (AK)? I think someone needs to invest in a map of the US. ;D
I think you meant AR for Arkansas. I grew up there (in White Hall, just north of Pine Bluff. If you don't know where that is, it's on the Arkansas River about 40 miles south of Little Rock. If you don't know where Little Rock is, it's on the Arkansas River right in the middle of the state). I was born in Dallas, but my family moved to Arkansas when I was six. I was the first one to return to Texas when I enrolled in Texas A&M, and then the rest of my family followed during my second semester.

I'm ready to send the next move to Dracho. Is someone else going to be taking his turns for him while he's busy? If so, who should I send the game to?
-
Send It my way. Dracho lost his Father in law and will be away for at least a week, if not more.
Poor Bastard, I think the world of Andy.

I can't find my Bloody Disk one. I did some re-aranging of my office yesterday, and while disk 2 is right here, Disk one has vanished off the face of the world.
Raven, any chance i can get you to play my round? Apparently, I'll be tearing my office apart, and I don't want others to have to wait on me.
Dang It I feel like such an idiot right now.
Stephen
-
Was I supposed to be sending it to Stephen this entire time?
-
I think so. I took over for Dracho due to his families tragic loss. now Ravens going to be pulling double duty.
Stephen

Damn, Stephen....those paint chips sure are good!

Thanks again.

Thanks Raven. I appreciate it.
I'll find that disk today.

Ugh.. you have looked in the CD drive?

I've actually done that before. I looked for a CD for a whole month and finally found it in my second disc drive.
-
Thanks Raven. I appreciate it.
I'll find that disk today.
Stephen
Ugh.. you have looked in the CD drive?
(runs)
I've actually done that before. I looked for a CD for a whole month and finally found it in my second disc drive.
I've thrown a couple away because a CD-Drive went bad and I forgot to eject the disk before I removed the drive and replaced it.
-
Well Damnit. Thanks guys, I found it.
Stephen

DOA?

Sorry it took 2 days to get this to ya guys, got busy doing chores and other family stuff.

Hey Dracho, check your email.

Stephen

Stephen, did you get your turn sent to you yet?

Yep, I sent It off twice. I had the same problem the other day with an Email sent to me from Gambler.
Stephen
-
Guys, I have a simple suggestion.
Post here when you send your turn.
-
Q's turn!
Stephen, you resent me the file I sent ya for our game..

There should have been two files I sent. I need to re-organize the game files I think.
Stephen

I will take both turns if that is cool...
GE-Raven

That's cool with Me Sean. I think I need to buy a new harddrive. I've been loosing more info everyday. That and the Clanging noise is driving me crazy.
Stephen

Turns headed your way, Raven.

I took My turn...
Proud to announce that Ghandi just founded Buddism. Great religion you should all try it.
Also took Stephen's turn... he has discovered a new rock he had overlooked....

Passed to Lara

Every time you say 'Lara' without the apostrophe, I think Lara Croft, and turn around wildly hoping that you know something that I don't and Angelina Jolie is somewhere in my house, yet every time, I am dissapointed.
Damn you, Dracho!

Oh and don't forget to send over Angelina Jolie, Alien and I'll play 'Tomb Raider' with her and I'm not talking video games either.

Go spelunking in her cave of wonder?
(God that's bad. My girlfriend uses that one.)

I think that's "Womb Raider".

Hinduism has been founded, along with the world's first 7-11 store. ;D
Thank you, come again!
-
Sorry it took so long. Last weekend was Parents' Weekend at Texas A&M, and I have been very busy.
Dracho's turn.
-
How was the Maroon and White Game? Things look good for A&M this fall?
-
It was good, but I wasn't paying nearly as much attention to it as if it was an actual game. It almost tied 24 to 24, and no one in the band really wanted to hang around if they decided to go into overtime. We had already done our thing and were all sun-burned. Fortunately, the Maroon team scored a field goal with 13 seconds left on the clock, so we didn't have to worry about it.
It definitely looks like we're going to have a better team this year. I've been among the Steve McGee supporters for pretty much the whole year and knew all along that Reggie McNeal was over-rated. McNeal has a lot of talent and has had a few awesome games, but he has never been a consistent player. He also kept passing to the other team this past year, and you can't have a star quarterback that does that. I doubt he would have been nearly as big if we had lost to No.1 Oklahoma back in 2002. Steve McGee was really impressive this past year in the Oklahoma and t.u. games. Even though we lost both of them, I think those were two of our best games last fall. If it wasn't for our defence's horrible performance during the first half of the OU game, we definitely would have won that one, and we were pretty much the only team that gave t.u. a run for their money. They may have left victorious, but they didn't celebrate until they got back to Austin and recovered their nerves.
Last Saturday was my very last time to march a halftime drill as part of the Aggie Band. It's kind of a strange feeling. This was one of the main things that has defined my college experience, and now it's over. I'm really going to miss it.
-
La'ra is up.
-
Yay, we're back up!
I sent the file to Q already so, we are standing now?
-
I can't get mail until Frey gets Heimdall back up.
Maybe if Q wants to meet me on MSN or GSA he can send me the file that way. Pretty much any time is OK.
-
No problem, just let me know how to get a hold of you there, and I'll send it off.
*Edit* You can get a hold of me through MSN at PhilipSnyder@msn.com
Also, there's a new CIV patch out, when are we going to switch to that? I probably can't download it until Sunday, if I remember to bring my External Zip Drive to my mother's for Easter.
-
MSN: mhahnke@hotmail.com
You can also check for me on Teamspeak: teamspeak.dynaverse.net
pwd: sfcrulz
I'm usually on TS in the evenings.
If you want to set up a time in advance, it can be pretty much any time. If Mr Tricorder wants to meet us as well, I can play my turn and send it on right away.
-
there is a new patch out. I suspect either all of us must patch, or none of us must patch.
-
Will our current game still work if we patch?
I for one can live without the patch. I suggest nobody install it until we figure out what we're doing.
-
I'll be online for next two to three hours, maybe four if I get the phone call I usually get on Friday Night. I don't have Teamspeak, it would have to be MSN. (Voice chatting programs just don't work well over a dial-up)
All the Previous patches have been compatable with previous patch versions. There has been nothing on the CivFanatics forum to make me believe that this patch would be any different.
-
K, I got Q's file. Mr T, let me know when you can get it from me sucka.
-
So, what's it going to be, to patch or not to patch? I have it and am ready to do so. Again nothing I've seen on CivFanatics says that the old saves are incompatible with the new version.
-
Sorry, I've been busy this weekend. I'll be ready to play my turn tomorrow.
-
Tell me a time we can meet on MSN.
-
I'll vote for patch.
-
As do I. I'm in the process of setting up a PBEM on another site, which will more than likely force me to patch anyways.
-
LOL! Man, I gotta read these more often. I already updated because I was playing some games with others. Well I guess we'll find out if there is any prolems with this game when it comes to my turn.
Sorry guys.
-
Ok, you can send me the game any time now.
-
Here is the deal Mr T.
My email is DOWN, so I need to send the game to you via MSN. You need to let me know your addy and when you will be on.
My addy is mhahnke@hotmail.com
I should be on tomorrow late afternoon / evening.
-
mine is a_co_trumpet@msn.com and I'll probably be on sometime around nine or ten at night (Tuesdays are busy days for me).
-
I say after your current turn we do the patch. This will mean we all benefit (or lose from it) on the same turn. I will upgrade and be the first to take a turn with the new patch.
Sound cool?
-
Passed to La'Ra
-
I'll play through it tonight.
-
On to stephen (let me know if I need to take your turns still)
BTW we are now on the NEW patch.
GE-Raven
-
I'm good, I passed onto Ferrit at noon today. What I'm doing is sneaking off when the wifes not around. Thank goodness she had two eye Opentments for new glasses.
Thanks Raven, Guys.

Hotpotato has been passed to Q

Moving right along...
762, if your email is still down, give me a time I can MSN it to you.

Got it from Q. T, let me know when you'll be on MSN.
-
Tricorder?
-
Sorry, getting on MSN now.
-
played and passed to Dracho.
It's getting close to finals, so things are getting pretty hectic for me.
-
Sent to La'Ra
-
I'll pass it one once my dial-up gets the patch DLed. ;D
-
ON to sirgod...
-
And on to FerritLXIX.
Stephen
-
I'll get to it once I'm home from work.
-
Did you guys start another game w/o me again? :)
-
Just sent it off to Q but, I'm kind of wondering about the date.
3680bc Didn't we already do that?
Oh well, sent it off anyways.
-
I have noticed that if you aren't careful in how you save the game, you'll wind up naming it the same as an existing file. Especially if you are the type that (not admitting anything here, mind you) chooses to delete the old files from inside the "Save as" dialogue box, by pressing delete. When you highlight the old file to delete it, it changes the save as file name to the old file name.
-
Yeah, We're back four turns. So did someone screw up what was sent, or do we have to do the last four turns over again?
-
Well, based on where my scouts were, I know the turn was current when it went to La'ra, and we know it was bad when it got to Ferret, so it has to be Stephen or Raven.
We could just back up to La'ra again...
-
It might've started with me. Raven asked if I'd sent him the right file, but I sent him another one that shoulda been the right one.
So I'd guess it's me or him.
-
Just confirmed the last turn I sent to Stephen on 4/27 was 3480. Which is indeed the correct year. La'ar sent me the wrong one first, but then sent the right one.
GE-Raven
We should be in year 3480.
Please go by date modified (in details view on Win xp) to be sure you know that the turn you are sending is the newest.
-
Did you guys start another game w/o me again? :)
Nope, we're still on our first game.
-
well, I went back and checked, and the 3680 was the last one modified on the 27th, However, when I went back and did the 3480, it tells me to send It off to Napolean. Ferrit should be playing Ghengis Kahn isn't he?
Stephen
-
I think that's right, I'm Napoleon... and I'm after Ferrit.
-

Yeha I'm KAAAAHHHHHHHNNNNNNNN!!!
Maybe you can get your turn re-sent to ya.
-
File resent to Stephen.
Just as a note guys... it takes a lot less time for those who are sending to be 100% sure of what they are sending than for us to try and figure it out after the fact.
Tips:
Always save the incoming in it's own folder. Then save the game in it's own folder (By moving previous turns to anotehr folder after you have sent them). Then always send from that same directory, and move it after you are done.
I find that to be pretty much 100%
GE-Raven
-
Ok, I have all my files saved (Incoming and uotgoing).
Unfortunatrely Stephen was left out of the loop since his comp was out of action. If we need to start off from the last turn, let me know and I'll send it out.
-
I just sent the latest Turn that Raven sent me. IT should be your turn Steve.
Stephen

Glad to hear it...its on its way!

Sent to Mr T, via this newfangled thing called email.
-
Going on 4 days now. You out there Tricorder?
-
Sorry, it's finals week. I'll try to get to it soon.
-
Well good luck then. ;)
-
Ok, I've sent it to Dracho now.
-
La'ra's turn
-
It wants the password.
Why does it want the password?
-
Hmm.. didn't ask me for one.
-
It wants the password.
Why does it want the password?
Did you assign one?
Weird.
I have a password on my turn... but that is because I was able to "change" stuff.
-
I know the Very first turn, It had a password built in, The first turn that you sent me Raven.
Stephen
-
I have a password on mine... Not that I don't trust any of ya'll...but it make me feel more important. ;D
-
I didn't assign one, and I just tried it again. It wants a password and won't let me play the turn without it.
It says 'Enter the password for GE-Raven'. Maybe it's a directory thing...I'll move the file to the desktop and try it from there.
Update: Think I got it. I was archiving my older turns, just in case, and got some mixed up during renaming...I think. Raven, you might wanna make sure I sent you the right turn.
-
Looks right to me now...
Thus ends the longest turn in the history of civ 4.
On to stephen

Sorry Guys I was pretty busy all day yesterday, anyway, sent to ferrit.

If Stephen or Raven could take my turns til I get back, it would be mucho appreciated. Thanks.
-
Raven you got IT or you want me too take 762's turn? I only ask since It's the weekend , And I'm sure some people have abit more time to play.
Stephen
-
Isn't it still at Tricoder? If I remember A&M's exam schedule correctly, there's still two days left...
-
If it is sent to me I will take it... If it is sent to Stephen he can... doesn't matter to me.
GE-Raven
-
I'm back. Where is it now?
-
I'm back. Where is it now?
I still have it. I've moved into an apartment now with a couple of my friends, and we're having a horrible time getting the internet to work. Hopefully, I'll be sending my turn soon, but if no one hears from me again today, then someone else can take my turn for me.
-
Are we gonna let this die, or can someone take Tricorder's turn?
Let me know and I'll email it.
-
Go ahead and send IT my way. OR Ravens, Either or. We'll get this going again.
Stephen

I've been thinking abit about this game... And It seems that 762 is one of the fastest responders here. That and him Being a L337 Kinda guy, I figured, we should start a Group in order to distract him...
For example, everytime he post's in this thread, We say something like Hey Tool!
This way, we might be able to take over one players Lands. Just an idea my Good good friends.
Oh yeah, If this isn't a good idea, and everyone else poo poos this idea, then Tool, My master plan Failed, Send me that nuke tech anyways.

Man, I'm going to have to get in a few games online before I leave for school and eventually Diego Garcia.
I won't have broad band ther due to cost issues (http://cwnetdg.io/Services/Internet.html). So the PBEM thing is what I'm going to have to depend on when enjoying game time with folks for a year. Oh well in the long run it's benificail to Alien and I.
Edit:just corrected the link dealing on the cost issue.

Thanks man but, I think I'll be more hitting the books to actually earn my degree and maybe my commission. I'm stil contemplating it right now and besides, there are only a few other games that really has my intrest on the pc right now (That I don't have yet), Oblivipon, GRAW (Ubisoft gave the PC players their love again) and World in conflict (looks hot). Hell Since I'm going to be doing the DIal up thing, I can still play via PBEM with you guys. ;)

I'll get to it when I get home.

Take your time Ferrit, I've disassembled my computer in preperation for a move. It will be back up Friday Afternoon or Saturday Morning.
-
LOL! I wish I read this one earlier, I just sent it off.
-
no problem, I haven't gone to bed yet, I'll hop on my brother's computer and send it off.. :)
-
Off it goes...
as for my moving, I didn't get packed up in time to make my self imposed deadline of leaving tommorow morning at 6 AM. Which means that I really have no reason to rush it, so I'll spend a couple of more days with my family here before making the 20 hour trek to Houston. As for whether or not I put my computer back together, I'm not sure. I can use the break from it and my laptop works just fine for internet browsing.
So, my scheduled downtime, is going to be Monday morning, to Tuesday Afternoon or evening. I can still use my brother's computer for the CIV turns. :)

this game has now been passed to the letter Q ;D
-
Moving right along...
-
Onwards
-
I'm going to need someone to take over for me. I've been having some problems with Windows, so it's time for a fresh re-install. Also, I'll be heading off to basic training in August, so it would probably be best if we found a permanent replacement for me. Is anyone interested?
-
I know CayneG was interested awhile back, might Pm him, and let him know. He would be pretty good as he's a fellow texan. ;)
Stephen
-
Can we designate someone as a temporary replacement and keep the game moving?
Ideally either me or whoever goes after Mr. T, since that would elimanate a mailing.

Might want to check that file date.

I resent. Did it work?
-
I seriously doubt its going to get around to me between now and then...But I'm gone until Monday...send my turn to aggie0381@yahoo.com IF it gets around to me before I'm back.
-
Sorry guys, I just checked my e-mail on my other account and Stephen sent it to me a couple days ago (I've been really busy with my overseas screening and naval duties) so, I'll take care of it when I get home and pass it to Q.
Sorry folks!

Guys,
I lost my hard drive on my desktop (XP won't see the NTFS partition for some reason). I'm planning to re-load XP tonight, but have to run to Houston on Friday & Sat, then drive back on Sun, so there might be a slight delay in getting my turns out.. assuming they get to me before my flight at 10 AM on Friday.

Oy that really sucks. I hope you get your HD straight.
Well passed it to Q and I gotta say "Hey Mansa!" Like the water side property, eh?
-
Back from the Wedding...sent it along...
-
Sent on to Dracho.
-
received them. I was going to play the turn this morning, but couldn't remember if I'd patched the game after I had to re-install everything, and had to run. I'll get it out this evening.
-
Played and passed to La'ra
-
Played and sent.
-
Forgot to mention I sent it on to Stephen Monday night.
GE-Raven

That's odd, I finally got it late yesterday, anyway, It's out to Ferrit.

I'm surprised they didn't surrender. ;D

Where would the french women get their newest fashions? I hear Lion Pelt is all the rage on the streets of Paris this year. ;D

I'll get them out in a bit. Am upstairs rebuilding the wife's PC, waiting on all the MS patches to load.

The Rigteous Fists of Destiny, Unit 1, destroyed two lions, but is now licking it's wounds on top of a hillside.

Hey... look what the cat dragged in :P
Your turn, just emailed it.
-
Played and sent!
-
I see that the Warlords expansion set is out. Do we need to discuss whether or not to install?
-
For 30 bucks? Not likely.
-
Yeah It's abit High for my budget right now. I just got turn 3200 I think, I'll double check in abit, but I'm backing up about 49 gig of info, so It's gonna be awhile. Prob. tonight, and then I can send It off to Ferrit If It is the right one.
Stephen
-
Despite what I has said previously, I did break down and buy it.
Pros: The AI is a little smarter in terms of Combat (although they will still send a single transport and declare war)
Cons: Several people, myself included CANNOT play the game if the Ottomans are involved. There is a problem with Mehmeds Leaderhead.
All in all, they didn't add much, the Great Generals I think are the biggest gain the game got. But if you don't have the money wait for the inevitable second XP, because this one didn't change enough to be worth buying. If you love scenarios however, the game is a must get.
Installing Warlords DOES NOT prohibit you from playing Vanilla CIV.

Well, with my lack of sleeping lately, just about anytime. heck even if you wake me up, I'd always be happy to visit with you.

I'll be considerate on the call man, I hate waking people up and calling way too late.
-
Aloha everyone,
Where in the process are we?
Beside going mentally insane!!
-
Is this dead or what? Been over 2 weeks since someone sent a move.
How about we resurrect it with the players who are actually able/interested in playing?
-
Great question.
I'm still up for a new game for those that can play. Because of my time difference over where I am going to and the only feasable means of private internet connection (Dial Up), PBEM games may be the manner I have to live with for a years time.
-
Anybody else still interested?
-
Yeah, I'm still here...
How many people made the upgrade to Warlords?
-
I haen't gotten the expansion yet, I'm waiting till the price drops a bit before adding it to my collection.
I'm kind of deciding beween G.R.A.W, the expansion for F.E.A.R, or the CIV4 Expansion.
-
I have warlords... and have yet to get the current game from La'ra... I would like to try an online game sometime... however, work has precluded that option for the near future.
Anyone seen or heard from La'ra lately?
GE-Raven
-
I have Warlords.
I think the problem is that the game takes forever in a PBEM scenario. Perhaps if we made the map very, very small and allowed for quick wins it would be more... exciting.
-
that's been the problem with my other game as well. One player just up and dissapears without notice and suddenly its no more game.
-
I don't have Warlords and don't plan on spending $30 on it. If it goes down to $10-15, sure.
Maybe we need to assign somebody to take Lara's turn. The game must go on!
-
I'm with 762. I don't have it yet. But maybe In October. Still an Online game might work even with my Sat.Con. Since it is turn based.
Stephen
-
Erm...I didn't know it was my turn. I thought it was someone else up the line.
Never recieved it in my email, either. Of course, now that I see that Dracho said he sent it on the 10th, I'm wondering what's up with that. I DID have some technical problems around that time. Care to try again?
EDIT/CORRECTION: There's is a sent mail in my 'all mail' folder from the 12th, with the turn attached. I apparently did play and send the turn. Forwarded it to Raven just now.
I was starting to wonder what happened to HIM...
-
This is why we need to post in here when sending the turn guys. :banghead:
-
Yep. I agree.
stephen
-
The irony is I that I thought I'd done that, too.
Sorry, guys.
Raven: If you didn't get the email this time...well, you get the idea.
-
I got the e0mail it is just the wrong turn... I started 3160 about a month ago so you should be sending me 3120 bc
-
The one I have previous to the one I sent is 3200...both it and the one I sent were created the same day, so I may've gotten the wrong file too.
-
Aloha everyone,
Where are we in the process?
-
I resent the turn to La'ra
-
I actually sent 3160 to Stephen a while back.
GE-Raven
-
Hmm. I just checked again, and the Last file I have is 8/7/2006 and is BC 3200. I never recieved a 3160.
Stephen
-
I'm becoming increasingly certain that 3200 is the turn we were on. I save all the files now, and 3200 was the last one I had. It went to 3160 when I finished it and sent it to Raven.
-
Hmm. I'm not sure. Raven sent me a new file on the 9th that I finally got yesterday, and I sent it on to Ferrit. IIRC it was 3160.
Stephen
-
Aloha, sorry folks for the delay. I've been really busy with getting ready for my transfer (Oct 1st) and helping my neighbors move out of their apartments after the fire(see 'last nights event' in Ten Forward).
Play has been turned over to Q.
-
Good luck with everything...
Passed along to 762.
-
Great, just when my email goes down. :banghead:
Shouldn't be too long.

Please resend it Q, our email server asploded a hard drive.

Anyone want his turn? I can send it tonight.
Stephen
-
How about we agree on a rule that if someone has to be skipped, the person before him takes his turn, unless they are at war?
That would be simplest, I think.
-
Sounds good to me, Who does Ferrit usually pass his turn to ? Well, I guess I could look it up on page one.
Stephen
-
And I am still playing the Mogols and Russia. Anyone else want in?

sorry about that guys, I just needed to get checked in. I class up tomorrow (the 4th). Passed to Q.

Moving along to the Financial...savage... ;D

Got it, along with 397 spams.
On to Dracho.

Saw it in the mailbox this AM. I'll get it out this evening.

Played and sent! And I'm off for the weekend.

Forgot to post last Friday that I sent it on to Stephen... you got it ok?
GE-Raven
-
That would have been the 6th right? Let me double check, But I don't recall seeing it, then again, I don't check my email as often as I used to.
Well, I'll be, Yep there it is, sorry guys I'll get it out today, as soon as I finish reading some messages here.
Stephen
-
you sending it my way bud?
and no. For now, this sailor isn't going your way. ;)
Mooooooo

I resent that, But what the hell, just in case, I'll send it again. I'm begining to think Gmail suxoors.
Stephen
Edit: I can't even get the game to start up again. Raven or Ferrit, Please in case you didn't get my play, Please hit the "x" and go again. I can't figure this out as the only games, I've installed was Guild wars factions, and IE 7.0

Haven't gotten your re-send. Is someone going to take your turn? If so the who should I send my last play to?
-
I just tried something new, and Basicly spammed you this morning Ferrit. I sent the file three times in hopes that it get's through. I'm thinking It's time I find me another Email carrier, as The other day Capt. Mike tried to send me an article, and the damn file kept coming in as incomplete.

If you sent it 3X, then I got only one. Man I hate to be blunt but, whomever is your email service really blows worse than a bronx hooker with bad teeth.
You need to get someone with better 'care' of your packages. ;)
I'll get on it tongiht as soon as I'm done working on a project for my class.

yeAH, i'VE BEEN USING ,Damn Caps, Gmail, but lately when I do anykind of upload , IT seems to kill the message. I noticed this tonight, when I tried to Email my friend mike a Vet .PDF, and while a regular Email would go through, anything with an attachement died before it even got to the horse.

Since he hasn't updated..... :police:.... I just got the package, played,updated and sent off.
-
I'm off on a cruise tomorrow, until the 27th. Someone will need to play Cyrus & Catherine until I et back.
-
While it would be nice to keep going over Turkey Day...somehow I think that you're not the only one who's going to be unavailable during that time.
Oh yeah...its off to South America. ;D
-
I'll play 'em.
-
I'll take Cyrus, since I go before him anyway. Saves a mailing.
Someone else take Catherine, preferably whoever Dracho usually sends to.
-
He sends to me. I thought Cyrus was you for some reason.
-
No. I'm Huyana. You take Catherine then.
-
What is the status of the turns?
-
Back from the cruise.
-
I never got the Catherine turn.
-
This deserves a bump...where is it at?
-
Who's after ferret? Did he get the turn?
-
I'm after Ferrit, and unless he sent me another one in the last couple days, I had already forwarded it along...

YEah I was right before Fettit, and the last turn I had was on the 14th of NOV. I'm not sure who's up.
Stephen
-
i think we got caught up when Dracho declared that he was going on a cruise, I sent it along an hour after Dracho made his declaration. 762 didn't notice that I had sent it along, It's probably still sitting in his mail box. Unfortunatley I CANNOT resend it. So unless he finds it, Ferrit is going to have to send his last turn to me and start it from there.

Just opened it up, and I have Napoleon's turn? That aint right.

My mistake that time... and I'll leave it at that..

For some reason I thought "on to South America" meant you were actually going there. Don't ask.
Anyway, on to Dracho.

Saw it in email. I'll get it out tonight..
Also, are we due another patch?

the 1.62 patch is the last patch that will be released for Civ IV. If you've installed WarLords, then you're patched as far as it will go.

Looks like I wont be too bored in Diego Garcia, LOL!! I just gotta stop Legacy from crashing in single player.

Nope this is still the original game. PBEM is a SLOW process.

Thats ok, I am busy enough w/ CoD2 MP at the moment. :)

I haven't seen him online the last few days, Why don't you go ahead and play his turn, and send it on to the next person. I'll try and get in touch with him, as now he has me kind of worried.
I know he's in Florida, I hope the fires didn't get to him, or he get trapped by old people telling stories that go nowhere.

Well shoot, my bad, I don't know then. I get the email from raven , and send it to Steve, Ferrit.
762, Is there anyway I can help with your email? I can drop you a gmail account. Heck, I could give you a Myway account (sat con), If so drop me a PM, and if so, remember to change the Password.

I'm still here.

We did.. a while back.. I have the Russians and have been playig another as well.. if we need 2 more players that'd be fine.
I'll get this out late tonight

played and sent to Stephen on Thursday Night last week. Was out and didn't get the warning posted.

Sorry guys, Been busy, But I did get it out to Ferrit last night.

Ferrit still here?

Sorry guys, I have been pretty busy with the activities here on his little island and keeping up with my wife.

Forgot to say passed to Q
is anyone planning on getting this? (http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/beyondthesword/)
-
Passed along.
And yes, I do plan on getting BTS. If for nothing else than the Final Frontier scenario, and the ability to tell the UN to shove off...
-
Where are we at in this guys?
-
I had sent it to tool, but I haven't heard from him in a while.
-
I thought Tool had left. Didn't we pick someone else for his space? If not, I'd suggest Cayne for his part. CayngG was wanting in awhile back.
Stephen
-
As far as I had known, tool was merely having issues with his email that last turn. Since it took a week to get back around to me, I had figured he had them resolved. But it also appears that he no longer checks this thread.
-
for the next few days, I'm OOC since I'm dealing with Space A issues and WHEN I do get home, I'm not breathing for the first two or three days.
-
is this a dead thing now or is the turns lost in the shuffle somewhere?
-
I still have it here, I've sent it to t00l but that was almost a month ago. I guess we're still skipping him.
I'll play his turn again tonight, and pass it along to Dracho.
-
Ok guy, I'm having a bit of a problem here. I am trying to load the game and it is telling me that the file is protected from asset modification, and it quits on me. I haven't loaded any mods except the ones that came with BTS. And why should that be affecting the original? I am at quite a loss here. If I can't get it figured out I may have to completely reinstall, and that is going to suck big time.
-
I've been having problem since I installed the latest patch for Warlords. I keep getting a missing parameter message. I think it may affeceted my CIV4 also. So I guess it's reinstall time for me. GAH!
