Has the carnage begun yet? Maybe somebody can loan me their password so I can satisfy my voyeuristic tendancies.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that it seems to be a very one-sided campaign so far. The basics: the five have split into two smaller alliances of 2 and 3, respectively consisting of Emperor/Plattfuss and IglooDude/Test of Time/Kingpin. I'll try and get some screenshots at some stage (I presume I can link them here via imageshack). By the way, I can also lend you my password at some stage if you're interested, whiplash.

By the way, Kingpin couldn't sub for Elucidus anymore, so after checking with Emperor and Plattfuss to make sure it's okay with them, I've started subbing for Elucidus as well as continuing to play my own (shell of a) civ as "EluciDude".

Notice to all - Civstats is down, but the game is still up. (Whiplash, could you fix this up sometime soon please? )

I reloaded the game because PitBoss.exe reported that the game had gone Out of Synch. It reports that a player has different values. Did somebody attempt to play the turn with a different Warlords version?

Did somebody attempt to play the turn with a different Warlords version? Last night I got an OOS at one point (in the midst of getting disconnected more often than usual). I was logging in with my usual Warlords game though, across the board.

Very heavy T-Storm here right now. Don't be surprised if the game goes down.

Could I make a request... I'm going to be away for the next 2 weeks on holiday, and most likely won't have access to Civ4 or the ability to play Pitboss games. Since this game is down to just a few of us playing, and since very shortly it'll just be down to two (and those two will inevitably be battling it out at some stage in the future), I'd really appreciate it if the game could be put on hold until I get back. I know it's a reasonably big ask, and will inconvenience some, but really at this stage with so few turns left I feel it'd be a shame to leave someone to sub for me for so long in such a complex situation. (Besides, whether I win or lose the upcoming wars, it'd be nice to know that it was due to my own good moves or blunders, not someone else's.) Basically, it'd just be nice to be able to be the one who finishes what I started so long ago. If there are any strong objections then I can of course look for a sub, but with so few turns left I think it'd be a shame to rush this and end up with me not playing what will probably be some of the last turns of the game. Let me know anyway. Whiplash, if there are no objections could you make a save and take the game down sometime before this turn (1816 AD) ends? I won't have time to finish my turn (currently busily rushing to pack).

Though I'm a non-factor, let me say that Emp's request is reasonable since this has been going since last October.

Since I heard no objections I saved the game and put it down with all but Emperor having played 1816.

Just realised that my notify for this thread doesnt work or wasnt activated. Emperor's request is of course also fine with me.

I'm around on the internet again (very intermittently), but am exceptionally busy with university at the moment... who the heck arranged to put all of my tests and assignments due in the first two weeks of term back! Anyway, at this stage I barely have a spare moment to play the single PBEM I'm in, and I don't think I'd have the time to add in another hour-a-night game just yet. If we could wait just another week before getting started again, my assessments should lighten up considerably and I'll actually be able to play without severely affecting my grades. - Emp

Does that have any implications on this game?
