This thread was originally posted by Keygen,

I hope to take some of his well known and well apprieciated dedication to PBEM and time off his hands by getting it on a new year.

I also hope we dedicate this thread to Keygen from here on in.

It is well deserved that Keygen have a permanant thread or two dedicated to him to continue with our appreciation until Apolyton goes down, we do not expect that to be soon.

Thanks Keygen a job well done




Recruitment Center Book VI


...continued from Recruitment Center Book V


Well... a topic about all those CTP players who have got bored playing against the AI and looking for a human opponent and... don't know how to start or join a PBEM game . We all were in that position in the one or the other way once .
So here you will be able to find or ask for valuable information about this seductive way to play against humans called PBEM or indicate your desire to play PBEM!

OK, the old farts playing PBEM games for ages can always join a couple more games as well...

There are two known ways to join a PBEM game. Either start a new one or permanetaly replace another player who left on a game in progress.

Here are some basic things you should know about PBEM:

1. PBEM is the way to start a game with human opponents without having to worry about the time pressure:
"Damn I have to leave. I have an urgent job to do"
"Common harry up dude! I don't want to wait a whole life to play the next turn!"
"I am an American. I can play from 1:00AM-5:00AM (GMT). Man, I am Europian and I can only play from 6:00PM-10:00PM (GMT)."
"Is it day or night?"

You can play via email at any time you like and yes you can go to the rest room without having to worry about what excuse to find .

2. Have a question?
a) Do you want to join a PBEM? Post here or post your own topic asking to join a game.
b. Do you want to start your own game but don't know how? Post here or post your own topic asking for people to join in and how you start it.
c. Do you want info about everything except Multiplayer? Post your question to CtP-General/Help/Strategy forum.

3. To play PBEM you must have 1.2 patch. If you don't have it you can find it here on Apolyton or on Activision.

4. The Hack patch 1.21 is not required but you can have it installed if you like.

5. If you are thinking of getting engaged to PBEM games then you should know that we PBEM players DO NOT LIKE players who disappear without giving a reason why they did. If you are not sure whether you want or have the time to join a PBEM then DO NOT JOIN.

6. New PBEM gamers are consider people who have a little PBEM experience like just having started playing PBEM game a couple of months the most or had played one on the past but had dopped it or never played PBEM before.

7. There is no 7 point! At list I can't think of anything else right now

I would greatly appreciate any assistance from any PBEM player who is interested on helping this thread work fine! A couple of players who visit this forum often enough to be considered CTP maniacs and do read the posts on a regular basis. Preferable experienced PBEM players who can answer any (almost) question about PBEM.

Any youngblood looking for his first PBEM game experience?
Or perhaps an older player who wants to join a new game?

lame lol

Ok this is it you're a newbie right, cuz if you are not one this position would be gone....

Why?

Cuz any idiot can see the best position in this place is in bulletproof and Let There Be Rock.

The reason they are not filled is simple. Old timmers here have no moxy and newbies simply do not know it's potential.

Ok Newbies email me for a sample taste, oldies want a fair ride plus a challenge, test out the ride of either game. No money down and all future hilters accepted.

I mean what the frig are you waiting for? Want to have fun, need an edge just starting out or want the thrill of an edge...

Those games await, you waiting for something? Click a link if you think you have what it takes?

All newbies welcome all oldies must quailfy/

I tink you should do what you think you can do and click an link to those games. You?

Look, I know this isn't the appropriate venue, but some jackass has closed the Help Desk, or at least prevented any new posts.

Anyway, I've got the XP blues. Installed and reinstalled the game many times, but can't get it to run. I click play and just nothing. No response whatsoever. I've updated the graphics driver. I am not making a mistake with user permissions.

Any suggestions?

*Edit: Actually, I did just get a partial response. The screen went black and the monitor made that clicking noise, but then XP just came back a second later, with no messages as to why I can't just get on with the life I am so happy with.

* Edit #2: I just tried "The Program Compatibility Wizard", which seems like a great idea, but to no avail

Thar she blows! I don't know how I did it, but I reinstalled it a couple more times and it worked! By the way for future reference, I installed it as the administrator, and set it to run for other users by using the properties of its shortcut method. Mind you, I had done that on previous installs too. :shrug:
