CTP INTERNET RATINGS GAME RESULT
Game Name: {Hugely Frightening}
Participants: {Player one(blue) Gavrushka of the Vikings, player two (orange) Darth Viper, of the Japanese}
Order of Finish: {Gavrushka, Darth Viper}
Comments: { A hugely entertaining game where mine and Darths games diverged when Darth changed government to Fascism, and I stayed Theo, My science leapt way way ahead, but would not allow me a clear opening to attack Darth - for the last FOUR sessions of this game we had enormous Naval forces just out of range of each other....I had added 30 Plasma Destroyers, 30 Stealth Subs to an already large Navy, had an almost completed sea tunnel when I started my attack.... thats when Darth dropped the bombshell and two nine stacks of units were cargo pod launched to my capital...... I had PIKEMEN defending, I pressed my attack pushing Plasma destroyers into his cities to knock out the units (mistakenly thinking his Navy was smaller than it was) and carried on building sea tunnel, I changed a few cities to produce space planes, to send some units back to help recapture my cities, Darth got booted and ended up with a trade problem (in 1902 - we have a turn by turn save someone help solve it!!PLEASE) and severe RIOTS, losing maybe 10 cities to REVOLTS in a few turns, he still managed to capture four of my cities (one of which revolted) but I recaptured them all with fusion tanks and war walkers within two turns..... at the end of the game Darth conceded - but we exchanged maps and played on a couple of turns...... and miraculoulsy trade came back AND riots stopped next turn.... But Darth was this to do with the fact we went for peace treaty???- But you were Fascist??? .. Anyway folks we have the saves- every save, catch me or darth for a copy, enquiries@iemediation.co.uk }

Hi Blackice et al
It was enjoyable and I have now got my server sorted out. In the end I went to bed about 4am Sat night but it was an experience. Like you say multiplayer is a lot different. Had A strange game on sunday four of us started playing and two guys obviously had the intention of ganging up on the strangers, so me and a guy called KO were forced iunto an alliance. The other 2 were full of bull****, but my popping up theocracy on the 3rd turn was useful along with my partner being near to me. But I was an ******* I forgot to change govt luckily my partner was a pro and pretty soon the other two ran away after some heavy defeats. KO then proceded to give me a lesson in the art of play, and he whupped my ass, we will be meeting again next sunday. Any tips? He is from Hong Kong so we are in the same (almost) time zone. Hey you were away for a long 10 minutes, merphie and I tried to play but people keep dropping out. The game with KO was my first complete game, I made a number of bad judgements, but I put them down to inexperience. gotta go now, C U next saturday.
Man you have a fearsome reputation.

Hey take man relax. BlackIce isnt that great! I have a fearsome LAN reputation  .. Ask Nuke Boy, ! As I have crushed him 3 straight games! And I had crushed dozens of others in LAN melee's.
For me, its all about 3 things
1) Have 3 or 4 gold/monopoly cities, these arent production cities rather, they just make gold and improvements that only help gold (no temples or that BS that raises maintence costs)
2) I have 5 or 6 Production cities, these cities are all belching out units and pollution. And you will never find an expensive University or anything in these citys. Only Mills,factorys, Oil Refs, Nuclear plants, etc.... Aswell as MANY mines surrounding the city!
3)Have 1 science city with academy,university,publishing house, and many many scientists working!
at this point my science is about max 5 turns a discovery through modern age.
'one of my many secrets' Take 4 clerics and have them all soothsay a city at once...Cheaper and easier way to make it Revolt  ..I piss people off like this without them knowing it!

Good news here. Looks like we finally have an ISP in Latvia, that will give you unlimited access, with cable modem. Hopefully, they get to me by end of this year  . And if they do, for the price of 41USD one can stay online as much as I wish. First of all, I wonder how 41 USD compares to unlimited access in other countries. Second, I wonder will you accept me playing online games, and will the speed be enough - outcoming is 128 kbit/sec, incoming 64kbit/sec. |
Sounds like a fairly good deal. I pay 40USD for a DSL connection. The advertised speed is 768 down and 128 up, but my tests show I get about 600 down and 90 up. Because I share the connection with another computer I get about 250 down.
The speed you posted is a bit confusing. Usually incoming is faster than or equal to outging.

Thanks Gavruska, but read it carefully. Look, the provider (Telia, Swedish) has thus far only covered Center district of Riga, while I live in the North district. I hope this will be done in 2001, but am not sure. Tried sending a little email, gets rejected. Will have to find out why.
Cheapness of this stands that I don't pay for phone. I can talk on the phone while in Internet with this, and the phone company gets no money. That's great compared to what I have now - pay to ISP by hour, and to the phone company.
As for the speed... that's what their website says, I don't know if it will truly be that. For instance, now I'm using a 56 kbit/sec modem, but download speed is around 3.5/sec, normally. However, I trust cables more.
Swissy,
Your deal also sounds good to me! All in all, you have better speed. Telia also offers higher speed, but that at once costs MUCH more. I'd better pay twice less, and have a little bit less of speed. And, I've messed it in the original post... incoming is 128, and outcoming is 64. Taking in account that I down more than up, I find this more than acceptable.
But I repeat, don't even expect to see me on for at least three more months. I doubt they'll get me earlier. But when I do, I'll learn!
Saddam,
You're truly making wonders. You made a post without 30 smilies and other stupidity. You're now a good poster  !
A few questions about the Internet games:
1) How does the turn cycling happen? We wait for everybody to take the turn, right?
2) How long does one turn usually take?
3) How much time is a player given for his turn?
4) Are there any Europeans playing TCP/IP? If so, it is nice. Because when playing Americans, either of us has bad time.
5) Rather confusing to me, am and pm. What time is what? I take it as am is when people tend to sleep, and pm is when they tend to be in middle of the work day. But might be different .
6) How many hours does an Internet game take to complete?
7) Can you save in the middle of multiplayer game? I think yes, but I've ignored the manual section about multiplayer. Good reason to find the CtP box now. I mean, could I please have one save emailed to me, preferrably somewhen when action already takes place, for instance contact has been made, and wars are going. Curios to see it, but doubt it's possible to load MP game as a SP game.
8) Are there any bugs specific only to TCP/IP gaming?
9) What happens if one of players suddenly disconnects. I hope my new connection will be stable, but who knows.
That's all for now. All in all, it's still some good time till I get connected.

1) You play each turn simultaneously. The game ends when the last player finishes with his moves and hit the END button.
2) It depends of the slowest player of each turn
3) As long as he likes unless a time limit is set with a mod and as long as you do not make the others waiting for you to much.
4) Well, you may find some Europians here and play them...
5) AM is after midnight. PM is afternoon.
6) Not sure but I guess a little more than a single does. Unless someone is veeery slow.
7) Yes you can save it but I don't know how. Never did it before. And I don't have an idea if you can turn MP to SP but as you I doubt.
8) That may answer it someone with greater experience in MP...
9) I think when a player is creating a new MP game has the option to allow the dynamically join feature where when a player disconnects to be able to join again or someone else.

Lol Yak Yak Saddam You And I Have Never Played? Yet You Have An Opinion On How Well I Play  , Mistake Number One... 5 Turns Hummm I Do Three Or Less With Commies  . 11 Cities Lol Good Luck...  Paul Has Taught Us Well As Have We Taught Each Other How Well Do You Do Against Fuzzball? Filix, Tal, Necheav And So Many Others Saddam?
So Play Gav He Challenged You, Darth Or Berxpert Or The Best Quinn (He Is On Top Of The Heap Here Now) Ask For Some Tips As I Do From Them, You Beat Them Then You Talk To Me.  Oh P.S. Good Job On The Post It’s Not Spam Lol... Oh Btw What Is Your Gl Name.
Nukeboy, Quinn, Gav And I Have A Games To Finish So No Comment, Up To Finish? Also A Game Challenge Time To Be Set With Darth...And A Four Player Pbem Against Paul And Someone So Booked Up Right Now Sorry.
As Far As My Rep. I Am Average Player With Some Experience. But I Believe Pbem Is Going To Have An Awesome Rep Once We Get This Thing Going... So It Looks Like We Are All Going To Be There Saturday See You All Then.
Boney, Ko Is Pretty Good I Played Him And Found His Skills To Be Quite Good You Can Learn From Him. And Please Do Watch The Gl’ers They Do Agree To First And Second Then Take Out The Newbies Together. It Is A Ploy Some Of Them Use Regularly. Glad To See You Sticking It Out, It’s Tons Of Fun. Good To Hear About Your Connection Look Forward To Playing With You.
Solvers In, Ah But Things Are Getting Interesting... Fuzzball You There? Paul Is Considering Joining Too We Should Encourage The Best Player In The World To Do So, But Fear Him As He Plays Better Without The Bugs Lol
1.Yes We Wait For Others To Finish Their Turns, Try To Do Your City And So On Adjustments While The Other Player Is Taking His Turn. It Then Goes A Bit Faster That Way.
2-3. Turn Time Up To You Most Of Us Have Lot’s Of Patience Or Laundry To Do Or Both As With Me So No Biggy Take Your Time Just Remember Tip In #1.
4.Yes Lots Of Europeans Are Playing, We North Americans At Least Quinn And I And A Whole Bunch More Have No Problem Getting Up Early For A Game So We Just Set A Time (Or Alarm Clock In My Case Lol) And Try To Be There.
5.Quinn Is The Human Time Zone Lol Ask Him . A.M. Is Midnight Until Noon And P.M. Is Noon Until Midnight. Here Is A Very Useful Time Zone Clock Site You Can Customize It To Your Own Use. Http://Www.Timeanddate.Com/Time/
6.Depends On The Game But 4 To 10 Hours. Play It In Pieces If You Like. We Always Break For Dinner Or Lunch, Beer Runs, Family, Screaming Kids, Wives Etc Lol.
7.Yes You Can Save Anytime. It Is Best To Set Some Time Up Like Saturday Morning And Play A Few Turns To Get The Feel Of It.
8. Yes See This Thread... Http://Apolyton.Net/Forums/Showthre...&Threadid=22296
But For The Most Part No The Bugs Tricks Are The Same. Good Advice Do Not Play A Gl Game Until You Know All The Bugs, Tricks And Ploys. As Important What Rules To Set Down Before Play. Even The Common Courtesy Of Stopping Play And Waiting For The Other Player Has To Be Stated Right Off The Top As Some Players View This As “Oh To Bad Your Civ Is Messed Up” Lol. Several Turns Can Pass And Cost You The Game So Be Wise Ask Lots Of Questions.
9. The Standard Fair Play Rule Is, If Disconnected All Play Stops And We Wait For The Disconnected Player To Return. Then We Wait Until The Player Has Viewed His Civ. And Corrected What The Ai Has Buggered.
10.Have Fun
Now direct me to the rules so I can avoid any future problems.
Btw did you find the dictionary any use in straightening out any misconceptions or misinterpretations?
