Anyone looking for someone to join their game? Conversely, is anyone interested in playing a game I host, if there are no other games going on?

Sure I'm always up for a mp game. Might try GS but I might not be able to get into the lobby. If not I have to play by IP.

I'd be willing to play most anytime. Just set up a time a few days in advance and maybe we can get some people together. I've never played with more than three and I'd like to see more...

given some advance notice, I'd be willing to give it a go.
Maybe next saturday and we can involve those from the other thread as well? Also I'd be curious to hear what style of play people wish to use, and stuff like wether this would be a "one session" deal or a weekly continuation etc. etc.

(probably get my butt whupped... oh well, supposed to build character... or put hair on your chest...something like that )

How about Tuesday at about 8PM Eastern US?

Lightbringer, from previous games I'd say most games would probably be one session of 2-4 hours.

its ends in war and it lasts like red said 2 hours or so. especially if red's involved. i know i played mp games with him before.

I'd be interested in Tuesday. Fair warning... my ex-wife sometimes springs watching my daughter on me at the last minute. Not a problem with her being here, but I may have to let the AI run my country for a short while to take her home... Real time game with few if any pauses? I haven't really tried turn based, but I pause enough in most cases it might as well be. No worries, I do that to micro manage stuff... and in this case there isn't that much point to that.

We could try total score at 1 or 2 years, meaning you don't need to go to war to win? I'd actually like to do that, as it'd be more diplomatic and interesting...

Lightbringer, doesn't sound like a problem...

sounds like I need to see if I'm still registered at GS. Are we gonna try out WWIII? or something smaller? I guess details can be filled in later...LOL I've been looking forward to this. (even if I do get stomped )

and I'm open to war or total score... though the AI doesn't like me very much diplomatically.

Sounds fun. Now if I can just figure out how to host.. I don't have gamespy installed (nor do I have plans to install it).

sadly if ur gonna play through GS i won't be able to join u. the only way i can play mp games right now is through IP addresses. As for picking a map the smaller ones work better unless u have a great connection. Then u might be able to play on larger maps. Even World war 3 i think but I'm not sure. And that's a surprise. Red doesn't want war for once. Well that be better. but if i play a mp game and red's in it i be really for war. He does have or had a habit of DoW when u least expect it.

It looks like we are gonna try direct hosting Berg. I've got no probs with that. ...and I got addicted to Cable internet awhile back when living with a friend who worked for them. I tried to use dial-up recently at a friend's house and turned it off in disgust. Yeah some months I eat rice and beans and ramen, but I can still download stuff the same day I click on it...

Anyone have suggestions as to which map?

Also I'd be interested in setting up a weekly session to try and play more deeply into a larger map. Anyone?

well i could get a better connection. just haven't got around to it. As for maps the US maps works fine. but if its more than 3 ppl then u have to play on the US north or south east. As for sessions they maybe fun but with my connection i leave the sessions to ppl with better connections.

I'd be interested in joining an extended daily/weekly play . WWIII or any other scenario with amphibious possibilites. Generally anytime from 9AM to 4pm EST and 9PM to 2AM. (I work from home so I have a lot of free time). It'd be great to have 3 or more parties involved. I will check back at a later time if anyone is interested.

Hmm.. map.. Tough to get any small-yet-good ones with amphib. Without Amphibious, I'd suggest Russia, or maybe Northeast US.

Turns out someone else will have to host, btw I'm stealing my internet connection via wireless from a nearby bar, and it seems to play funky with my IP.
