	Succession Game Update Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

To anyone interested:

We are planning a Succession game of CTP2 (see the CIV2 boards for an example) to officially start APRIL 1st, 2001.

We have a total of 6 players so far.
If anyone else would like to join, post a message here.
If you want to keep your e-mail confidential, then send me an additional message to SCANGA@AOL.COM.
This Last Call will be until March 30th, 2001 one minute before midnight.
After that... sorry no additional players can be accepted. (I need a day to get everyone's e-mail address in order)

Please see the previous thread entitled "SUCCESSION GAME?", for the rules.

We will be passing the saved game file from player to player and describing our actions on a new CTP2 forum thread (not created yet).

If you decide to join, please make sure that you are playing with the original CTP2 files only with no modifications. This is really just a trial run, and if it is fun and successful we will do it again with MODS, or Tweaks.

I will start the game off with the posting of a new thread, and a description of what happened in the first 20 turns. It is not necessary to follow my format.. just be creative and describe any way you want.

Unless the other 5 players object... we will begin as the GREEKS, and our leader name is "THE FORUM". Hey, it's a start.
Difficulty level will be set to Very Hard. (which is equivalent to somewhere around chieftan on CIV2).

Okay, enough rambling! Let the recruitment begin!

Why not call the leader "Apolyton". It sounds appropriate for a Greek leader after all? (Alternatively we could call him Markos Giannopoulos, after the Greek co-owner of this site )

The Greeks are fine. I like the idea of "Apolyton" also.

Apolyton sounds better than "The Forum", so Apolyton it is!

UPDATE: There remains but 4 days left for anyone else to join our succession game! By midnight of March 30th it will be closed off until the next one (if we're successful and it's entertaining).

Keep on the lookout until then for a new thread appearing on April 1st:
CTP2 SUCCESSION GAME: APOLYTON TAKES ON THE WORLD.

Yes I'm in!!!!!!!

My preferred email address is jbnhl@hotmail.com
But if hotmail doesn't work for this type of thing, post it on this thread and I'll give an alternate address.

BTW Skeeve, how long would it take to download the thing (obviously longer when the game file gets bigger) .....?

This should ROCK!!!!

Okay Vivala, you're number 8!
(I just got #7 on my e-mail today).

The file is less than 1 MB, so it shouldn't be too bad for download.
If it takes a while, just go to the kitchen and make a sandwich. That's what I do. (The real reason I gained 10 lbs. after getting married).

Oh, by the way, there's still one e-mail not accounted for.
Octavius? Did you get my message?
Since you're third, try to get back to me by Saturday.

Edit: Actually, I did already get a message from you earlier, so I know the address works.

Sorry to keep hogging this thread, but I just wanted to reiterate the ground rules without posting a new thread yet.

• we start on a Regular Size Random Map
  
• Starting Civ: The Greeks!
  
• Leader's Name: Apolyton!
  
• Turn Length - 20 turns each until the year 1AD. (I think this works out to player #8) After 1AD, it's 15 turns, and then 10 turns after the year 1500. Note to Player #8 - you'll have a lot more to do in your 15 turns than I will in my first 20.
  
• Difficulty: Very Hard (Not to worry, it'll be easy)
  
• No Modifications, original game files only. Be careful that you have no mods installed, or have made your own tweaks. This may mess things up a bit.
  
• Gameplay: Freedom to do anything you want, as long as you post your actions on the Forum thread (to be created). Therefore, you should be ready to defend your decisions.
  
• Let's keep the time limit for everyone to complete their turns to somewhere between 24-48hrs. If you cannot complete in this time, just pass the file on.
  
• Have fun with this!!

Just out of curiosity, how many total civs will there be in the game? I suggest picking 8, but it really dosn't matter if you have already started.

I will be starting the game tonight.
I was thinking of just playing with 6 civs + Us. (7 total), because it's only a regular size map and that will give us a little breathing room.
By the way, I figure I'll set the barbarians on the 2nd risk level. (whatever the next one is above "villages only").

I expect to start in about 9 hours from now!

Still time to add players. From the posting of this message there is 14hours and 10 minutes!

Dunno if this idea has been mentioned before, but when each player finishes their alloted turns, could they post here a little story/account of how the turns went, what happened etc.
If each player plays to a totally different strategy, nothing will be acheived, we need some record of what's going on, and where the game should go.

PS, who has the file now?

Finally! The page is back up.
I had the darndest time getting back to this forum.

Anyway... the game has begun!
Unfortunatly Sean is having trouble with the file. I'm going to give another day for us to work out the problem. If it cannot be solved, it goes to player #3... I think that's Phoenixcager.

I am sure this is going to work... I experimented by deleting all CTP2 files (except the saved games) and then re-installing. Everything worked.

Anyway, in about 2 minutes, I'm going to post the first message of the new thread.

See ya there.
