My first move has been made and sent to Vince. I think this will be the correct order, since it is the order I entered the players in. If not, please let me know and I will change the order.
Having a central place to check in for our game should be helpful. Please post anymore relevant info for the game here. Questions, etc., too.

Awesome, I haven't been Persia yet. I was India/Ghandi on the botched game and my last two single player games I drew Ghandi as random so nice to have a change.
Vince
11-21-2005, 01:59 PM
Sweet. I will get my turn done here in a moment or three.
Vince

The Russians will come pouring out of the hills...
File sent to Celeval :)

Sent on to Jeeber.
The Arabian people are breaking bread together where the river meets the sea. Soon, all shall know the direction of Mecca.

I got the file from JeeberD and sent it on to JEEBERD, those caps are so intimidating.
Turn 2 sent to Vince!
Now we're rolling baby.
Vince
11-22-2005, 11:45 AM
Meant to do this last night, but it got away from me. File sent to Celeval!
Our expanding cultural borders should frighten the daylights out of youse guys.
:)
EDIT -- I'm at work until about 4 PM, then I have a softball game at 7:30 PM (all PST). So if I don't have the file when I get off work, I won't get the turn done until about 10 or 11 PM PST.
Celeval

Exciting note of the day for the Arabs: Our warrior frightened a bunch of birds out of the forest.
Jeebs up.

Played earlier this afternoon and sent on to Lonnie...

The Russians continue to explore the vastness of the wilderness. Our wise men report that they may be on to something...
File sent to Celeval!
Celeval
11-24-2005, 09:44 PM
That's interesting. Our wise men report that OUR WORDS ARE BACKED BY NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
Um, sorry.

You gotta love it when you frighten the little villagers around you so much that they give you all their gold!
I don't know what effect it would have for not everyone to have the patch, but I installed it and tested the last PBEM file. It opened fine, so we shouldn't have any upgrade problems.
If you don't know how to apply the patch, from the main screen, go to Advanced -> check for updates.
Vince
11-27-2005, 04:21 AM
File's with me, I should get the turn done sometime in the AM (Pacific Time Zone) tomorrow. Civ 4 computer is inaccessible at the moment.
Lonnie
11-27-2005, 01:33 PM
I went ahead and did the patch after my last turn. So I should be good.
Vince
11-27-2005, 07:12 PM
Busy day for the Russians -- first military unit, first technological advance, and we've scouted out some nice farmland south of our hilly base of operations. Things are looking up.
Celeval
11-27-2005, 07:37 PM
There's gold in dem der hills!

The Persian scouts are about and have aquired a map of the area from locals. This map shows another civilization not far off. I think we will have contact within a few turns.

Who has the file? Just making sure we didn't lose it, as it's been a few days since my last turn.
Celeval
12-01-2005, 06:08 PM
I last sent to Jeeber on 11/27, and haven't received one since.
JeeberD
12-01-2005, 09:55 PM
I sent a file to Lonnie around that same time...two or three days ago. Did you not get it?
JeeberD
12-01-2005, 09:55 PM
Dola-
Actually it looks like he did since his last turn looks like it was on the 29th...
Lonnie
12-02-2005, 12:29 AM
I took my last turn 11/28 at 1:00 am, and sent it on.
Vince
12-02-2005, 01:48 AM
I believe it is with me. I haven't had access to my Civ IV computer for a day or two. I should have the file sent out by some time this evening (probably very early AM EST).
Sorry for the hold up.
Vince
12-02-2005, 04:48 AM
Game on again. File has been sent to Kevin!
Our first military unit makes us all feel a little safer in Moscow.
JeeberD
12-02-2005, 08:32 AM
So, uhhh...you're Catherine? Why don't you come on over to my place for a drink, baby...

I got it. Going out as soon as I get a free few minutes today.

As our Scout pushes further along the hinterlands, a new village astounds us with their mastery of technology!

Our scout has already reported another distant village. He also mentioned something about civilization...we aren't sure what that means yet.
And already back to Kevin -- nice turnaround time today guys.
Celeval
12-11-2005, 11:12 AM
Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva have made their first appearances in the Arabian culture.
Vince

So it was you...jerk :)
Vince
12-13-2005, 03:33 AM
Though it seems at time that the Russian historian is recording the events of history in vain, with no audience, he continues relentlessly as historians must. The Russian scouts indicated that contact with a foreign civilization would occur soon -- meanwhile, they enjoyed some fine grapes.
Kevin's up.
JeeberD

There are rivers galore in the area of our capital. Makes for good swimming for our mighty warriors!
Celeval
12-15-2005, 09:17 PM
The Arabians are welcoming of the English at our borders.
Welcoming, of course, meaning you're welcome to walk all around our borders but come inside and you'll find we know which is the sharp end of a stick.
Vince
12-17-2005, 10:56 PM
Russian scouts continue to probe the borders of the English.

Hrm, sorry guys -- I didn't realize that I had the file. I can't get it done right now, but I should get my turn done either late tonight or tomorrow morning (my time).
:(

Vince

Ping: Anyone involved.
I seem to have misplaced my Civ 4 CD during my move to my new house. If anyone would like to step in for this turn and move for me, that would be great -- I don't want to hold anyone up any longer than I already have, and I don't want to step down. The move to be made should be pretty obvious -- just keep exploring.
If you can/are willing to move for me, send me a PM with your e-mail address, and I'll forward you the file. Thanks!
JeeberD
01-08-2006, 10:33 PM
Do you wanna help out this turn, Sach?
Vince
01-09-2006, 03:39 PM
Well, I'm off all day today and tomorrow, and I'm cleaning my house and looking for my CD. If I find it, I'll take my turn immediately. The offer is still open to anyone who wants to take my turn for me -- I don't want to keep the game held up.
Vince
01-09-2006, 07:15 PM
Game on!
When I moved, I took the box and the CD Case over, but didn't realize the CD was still in my dad's computer (a really nice one that runs the game real fast). When I realized it on Christmas Day, I put the CD in the same case as WWSM '06, and I found it today. We're back up and running, and Celeval has the file.
Jeebs, I'm still pissed that you got Buddhism the turn before me.

...
OK, took longer than I thought because I got a version incompatibility error message when I tried to load it. Installed latest patch and it worked fine. So, if you haven't installed the latest patch, you will probably have to before you can take your turn.
Vince
01-24-2006, 02:57 AM
Just because more info is better than no info --
I've been really busy lately (broke up with the girlfriend, in the middle of an 11 day-in-a-row stretch at work, having major issues with a manager at work, etc), so I haven't gotten to the file, though I have it.
I work tomorrow afternoon from 12 to 5, then I'm helping a friend move a couch. I should be able to run my turn tomorrow evening or Wednesday morning. Sorry for the holdup guys.
Lonnie
01-28-2006, 10:54 AM
I may give my spot up to Sach soon. I took my turn today when I got the file.

Should I send the file on to Lonnie or Sachmo?
Lonnie
02-12-2006, 05:16 PM
Send it to Sachmo if he still wants in. At least with the new patch I think he can change his name once he gets it. Have fun guys, it was just a little too slow for me.
JeeberD
02-12-2006, 07:26 PM
I'm waiting to hear from Sach before I go ahead and send it on to him...
