Some kind of... long-running play-by-email (or similar) game?

Palmar · April 25, 2010, 05:09:26 PM

I think we should just go for it.

I'll be available from around 22-23 server time tonight on irc and ts. Will try to arrange for this civ4 nonsense.

Let's discuss how to do it yo

Neptune's Pride, a browser based space conquest game which can take up to a month, you don't all need to be online at the same time. All you need is a Google account, and a supply of friends to backstab.

update:

Play by email civ 4 is the first thing we'll try.

It's very easy to set up, given people aren't retards.

What you need.

Civilization 4 - we'll negotiate version and expansions tonight, I'd like to suggest only the base game, and the latest patch, no idea what that one is.

Email account - this is important, you also need to know your smtp server for outgoing mails.

Dedication - yes, this'll be going on for weeks, or even months.

I think a good number of players to start with is 5-7, please reply if you're interested.

*raises hand* Sure, but I've only played a few games. I'm still pretty shit at it. Don't bully me and it'll be fine...!

Can always start with a small'ish map too, I guess.

Also, I don't have the commercial version -- I downloaded the big all-in-one pack. Don't know if I can patch it, or if it's the latest version, etc. I doubt PBEM really cares whether you are using a legit version, tho'!

Hugman · April 25, 2010, 07:45:04 PM

I would like. Might need a hand getting the right one, and synced up properly.

Grishnag · April 25, 2010, 09:41:36 PM

i would love to play civ 4 but... i never played a civ game also you guys got an original copy or pirated shit?

i mean if you have a legitimate copy i have no problems ordering one allthough that might take a few days

Decay · April 25, 2010, 10:05:57 PM

I'm up for it, depending on times and if my downloaded version is compatible to yours.

Palmar · April 25, 2010, 11:53:29 PM

Delling, it's fine if you make the same version available to everyone, just either give us a torrent link, or better yet, upload it if you have the bandwidth available.

Grilldyret · April 26, 2010, 12:01:10 AM

My vanilla pirated copy of the game runs version 1.7.4
Have the patch file somewhere if needed, I think! EDIT: I don't D:
Also, I think I used THIS (btjunkie site) torrent when I downloaded it in a few hours. 2400/800 S/P I think.
I figured it's just as good getting a torrent with all the expansions as a vanilla one, as they should have many more seeds.

Palmar · April 26, 2010, 01:17:11 AM

I'm downloading grilly's version, so should everyone that intends to take part.

delling · April 26, 2010, 01:31:15 AM

Ya, I am also using Civ Version 174. Save Version 103.

The all-in-one pack is good (3GB or so).

The torrent I used is private, so can't share it. Presume the all-in-one thing is probably from the same source tho'.

Palmar · April 26, 2010, 01:40:59 AM

We'll find out tomorrow, I'll set up a pitboss server for this thing

We'll see how it goes.

delling · April 26, 2010, 02:04:17 AM
