	Alright, I'm in Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

E_T has been harassing me via PMs and e-mails for at least a month, but after talking to MZ via AIM much of the evening and being told what all you guys have going on in here (that I had no idea about or who all was in!), I'm back for the fun.

Add me to whatever mailing lists or whatever you have. I'll also certainly be frequenting this forum going forward. Is there a way I can get the abridged version of the story to this point, strategy, plans, etc? I need to read myself in.

As for what I can do to help, you guys tell me what you need/want. E_T has been bugging me about what I was using for score analysis in the PTWISDG and MZ was talking to me about FAM stuff, but I don't really know your setup here, what people are already doing, etc. I'd also have to provide warning that while I'm not doing much career wise at the moment (and thus have TONS of free time!!!), my workload could increase dramatically in the near future. I'll certainly be stopping by to contribute when I can regardless, though.

This project just sounds too cool and the people involved are CERTAINLY far too cool to pass up. Count me in.

Heck, this is the first time I've even logged on to 'poly in months. It seems that they finally got rid of pop up hell over here, the fear of which was the MAIN reason I avoided the place. If I'd only known...

Nice... the parts of the Constitution I wrote I see are still in there.

Btw, how's the Intel area set up this round? Looking over the work in Round 1, I'd have to say that Orzmud did a FANTASTIC job with BFM and Klo, along with con contributing human intel.

As for FAM, it seems that MZ is your FAM and I'm intrigued by the idea of working there as well.

Fill me in on what the setup is.

Been reading through threads... not much to really look at yet, it seems. The one big thing I need is copies of the saves and what version of C3C we're using.

A short listing of scores by team by turn would also help me at least punch out a quick score analysis.

Let me know if you guys need me for anything else. I have *obscene* amounts of free time at the moment, though I'm not entirely sure about the future.

I'm very glad to see you here, Arnelos.

Arnelos! I swear I thought you were dead or something. It great to have you in the fold.

Here is some info:
C3C 1.22 The barb fix was added, but it really only matter for the turn player of the team that goes last (PAL).

Game one saw us meeting CDG early then meeting up with PAL (FriedPstalion or however you spell it). Due to the proximity of CDG, their inept playing and PAL massive and fast development, we teamed with them and crushed CDG. We then split the continent between us. We worked well together. We built up a tremendous tech lead against the other continent and when we made contact, we had a cav force ready to assist the Frenchies against the Germans. The Germans quickly realized that they were going to loose this round and resigned honorably ( ).

Over in the other game, CBR (the team we currently have contact with) had some cheating issues. Their president, yes their team leader and turn player, was caught as a DL in another teams private forum. He didn't post, but read everything and voted in polls. They were forced to take a 5 turn anarchy. The other teams then felt bad for them and joined forces with them against CFC. Not sure how things went with the other team that got eliminated. Best to ask Regentman.

We have picked up quite a few refugees from both CFC and GWT. They have provided excellent input and perspective. A welcome addition to the team.

In this game, we adapted the Constution from the ISDG with I think no changes. It is still pretty early and we have obviously made contact with a nearby team (CBR). We are being openly friendly at the moment and have assigned the newly diplomatic Aro to be their Ambassador. We are just about done with our granery, and will have a perfect 4-turn pump with our capital. Our first city is going to be a worker pump (damn Ag is a great trait). We are working on IW as our first tech and are playing as Sumaria (so we have really cheap defenders )

I probably missed some things, so if anyone can add to this, have at it.

Once again, nice to see you here!!

Great summary Donegeal!

Arnelos, I've just joined the team, but from what I've read in this thread, you've been missed. Welcome back!

Fantastic, glad the bug has finally caught....

With the team that we now have going for us (and you helping with Diplo, ect), we will definately give Trip (and CGN, same thing...) a run for their money.

* E_T can't wait to trash Trip's A$$!!!

Welcome back, my freind.

Arnie, What is your current e-mail addy. I haven;'t looked to see if youve posted it anywhere yet, but I'll ask here.

I have some score stuff ready to send you. I was looking at recreating you sheet, but got sidetracked some. But I can send you what I have and you can use that, with last 2 saves to full effect.

I don't remember I have done so much about inteligence in the first round. Probably because thre was nothing to do after we allied with PAL and destroyed Elucidia so easily.

I think I just got confused when I was following links in the Info thread. I ran into your intel stuff on THIS round, it seems.

It's fantastic.
