I was hoping for at least a turn per day. :(

I think we should also make a running pool of how long the game takes, hide the money in a chest with keys for each of us and once it's over the ones who lived long enough collect the treasure.

When is game 2 starting?

In like two years? If it's supposed to start after this one anyway. I suppose someone can just set it up? If it isn't difficult to do I wouldn't be adverse to running a Brave New World enabled Civ 5 game. I'll have time to set up the Giant Multiplayer Robot deal on Thursday.

Oh poo poo that sucks. Still couldn't be the worst time to be skipped. Just researching that first tech and making that first whatever you chose. You're just a tile behind on exploration. Could be a whole lot worse that being skipped on a batttlefield.

drat... I've found nothing of note besides a handful of useful but not jaw dropping resources. I also want in on MMM's game esp. if it's BNW.

Also I have the lowest turn time now on average. Obviously this means I care more about our world than you other jokers.

Yo so if somebody wants to set up the second game I can play in it. I would just need somebody else to set it up.

I can do this. If I'm not mistaken Little Mac was up for it. Anyone else who wants join up let me know. I was planning on running the full game (the Complete edition offered by Steam) that is the Base, God and Kings, and Brave New World plus the other civ dlc. If there's one of the DLC Civs or map packs you can't use let me know. That sound ok for those of you who're interested? I'll cross post in the main thread and seeing interest/not I'll set up the game later tonight.

At the moment it'll be a 3 person game. If you guys have any preference on pace, map, or whatever I'll take it into consideration.

Wait so do you have BNW and it's a more "bought it at the wrong time" lament or you never bought it and it's a "I wish I had purchased it cheaply so I could own it since I never have owned it" lament? By the way I'm setting this up. Making it for 7 people including those who haven't responded, I figure if they don't come they'll just be bots we can crush.

Opopanax posted:

Let me know on the setup because I haven't played Civ5 in months and I'd rather not drop $30 on an expansion I may only use once

7 nations with probably about 14 city states. Continents. And the settings that Ecco suggested and MMM seconded. I'll probably allow resources to be strategic, the setting that ensures no one is lacking in essential things (iron and the like) because it sucks when you just get dealt a lovely hand, but then again I may not because that's life. I wouldn't suggest you get it if you're really not going to play much. We'll definitely run another God and King game eventually. I can't as I'll have these two in my queue for a while but everyone else still has a game slot available. And it's not too tough to set up.

I'm interested in playing

I'll probably be starting it tonight I've decided. I could wait longer for Diqnol and MMM, especially the latter as he asked for someone else to set up the game, but it seems unfair to those that have joined up to wait much longer.

Do you have both BNW and Gods and Kings for Civilization 5? I'll send you an invite if you're interested in that case.

It is fine! I'm in Europe so it's only like 10 hours difference. Sent an invite via GMR itself.

e.: That was fast! Thanks. Like I said I'll probably start up later tonight. You guys feel free to choose whatever nation you want to play or write it here so I can set it up for you later. If you say nothing I'll leave it on random.

Well push him to just join. It doesn't take long and he won't have to take his turn any time soon. Otherwise, if everyone's fine waiting I have no issue doing so, but that means we won't be getting started until Sunday unless I set this thing up before work tomorrow morning, which isn't that much of an issue, just have to wake up a bit earlier than usual is all.

Don't destroy your set-up unnecessarily. I don't mind waiting as long as you're aware. I can definitely get up a bit earlier tomorrow and get this thing going then. No worries.

I've unplugged the input/output cable from both devices and plugged it back in. I'm looking for another monitor or in/out cable and hoping the problem is in one of those, but I'm the only person who doesn't use a laptop apparently.

It's sort of necessary for me to get on there for a lot if things though so I'm not just doing this for civ.

This sounds serious. I hope it doesn't turn out to be costly. I may have a laptop but I treat it like a desktop frankly. It doesn't move much. I'll start tomorrow morning bright in early at about 8 am GMT +1. Hopefully you can figure it by then?

This is clearly my fault. It shouldn't be the case that said.

Thing is... even if I were to give you my password I get the sinking feeling that everyone's been somehow pushed back a turn? Which doesn't make any sense. So I either restart this mess or something.

Scratch that! I had left the password encrypted option on since I'm an idiot. So sorry Ecco. Check to see if it's still not working.

it still requires a password you buffoon. it still only lets me play as player 1 who is poland.

I really think you messed up badly and imho you should feel badly.


Well I do feel pretty bad considering how long this drat thing took to make. That said I clicked the revert turn order and that seems to have maybe fixed it. That let me go back to my turn and take it. So that's good. On the other hand I didn't get the chance to settle the city myself. I don't know why. Seeing as I've never set up a game before, outside of the main me vs. comps thing, I don't know what I may have clicked or not clicked for that. Let's consider that an extra challenge I guess. That plus the fact that we're known as player x's instead of our name. I assumed that was automatic but I guess I had to change that directly in the creation menu. Hopefully that's less an issue for all of you. I don't think I can change that. Hopefully though it works more regularly now?

At any rate if that's fine enough for you (being somewhat anonymous and not choosing a city) we can keep going but otherwise we'd have to end the game, I think by having everyone surrender, as I see now other option to instantly delete it, re-send out the invites, and start anew. It's however the majority of people prefer.

I don't mind the teasing but it does bother me to not have gotten it right. Just my nature. I do seriously think it'll work now though. We just don't have names nor do we settle our first cities for some reason I'm unaware of. I'm good doing either.
