Thanks Solver. I think it will be. Gavrushka and I have very different ways of playing. It will be interesting to see who wins on this symmetrical map.

Is anyone else playing this weekend? Just curious. I haven't seen any posts for awhile.

I won't be playing until next week. I finally got a new mainboard, but discovered my video card was zapped when my old mainboard bit the dust. I have a new video card on the way, but may need a new power supply. The 250W I have may be underpowered and the my new mainboard seems to have a chipset that isn't as efficient at power management as my old one. I have been getting getting alot of freezes.

It is an Assus K7M custom version for HP, I got it on eBay. I remember that the seller warned in the listing that a 300W power supply was required. I thought I could get away with using my 250W supply.

Can't believe this, he has no time to play, I assume? A real shame to see one of the best players go, and I can't see anyone else playing yet.

I am very disappointed to see Gavrushka withdraw from the tournament...In fact I wuz looking forward to playing him...For awhile it seemed like he had quite a bit of time to play. Oh well...times change I guess.

Swissy, let me know when you are back up and running. I'll make time to play whenever you can make it. My e-mail is nova20001@hotmail.com

What the hell is the world comming to when you have to put work ahead of the CTP world cup that is absolutely shocking. The whole point of working is to make more money to enjoy life, but if you got know time to enjoy life whats the point. You just get old fat and grey for no point.

I thought you were your own boss anyway

Is it a motherboard for AMD processors? Because as far as I know Athlon processors do need at list a 300W power supply due to larger power consumption than its predecessors. Modern graphic cards may need a little more power as well.

Bad news indeed And if I add his state that he wouldn't be able to play Internet games after he moves in London (soon) then we will probably rarely be seeing Garry in the future.

I hope that this will not accually ever happen because beside the fact that he is one of the best players he is a very pleasant and social guy as well.

BTW, I can take Garry's position if that's final and if you want so but not yet. In 1 or 2 weeks from now, depending on my schedule.

	PROBLEM!!!! Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

The non-host player has one EXTRA good. It's a pearl in the ocean south (north for host player) of the triple crab/pearl island. Can this be fixed for tournament play or shall we just live with it... I'm offering to be non-host player...

As for tournament games, filix and I were suppose to play this morning but for some reason, he didn't make it. I hope we can reschedule soon.

Filix and I are playing our first game. When one of us wins, what is the procedure for reporting? Also, where are the saved game files to be sent to? Are the save game files available to all players (hope NOT)??

Yoda, you are sending saves to moderators. Ask Blackice for more, he's the chief moderator.

To report a result, post it here, and I will add it to the top-ed post with results.

Though preliminary I suggest if this tournament has a success at all, repeat it every semester (summer, fall, winter, spring). Therefore this one could be something like "Summer Cup 2002"

Hi Yoda send them to blackicegl@cogeco.ca

You can send saves nightly if you like

No way... if this is a World Cup, we can hold them early. Moreover, games take a pretty long time to complete, so once a year makes more sense.

Keygen, now go play your games.

	Size Limit Suffering from ads?

Is there a size limit for the files that will be sent to you? A couple of the ones I sent bounced back to me (save 9 and 10 out of 11) but they didn't seem any larger than ones that I had already sent (around 2.2m).

yoda

PS: Ah, never mind. The message I received said "disk quota exceeded". Perhaps you should look into this as who knows how many files you will be sent with multiple games being played.

	26-06-2002 07:04									#25
	Tired of ads?

Ok I have a 5mb mail limit. If you have a server you could have me download them and or if you have have an ftp client you could upload to my server. There is always a way :0). You could also try awayteam2000@cogeco.ca it has not been used in some time now. Let me know how it goes. Missing 4-5 and 9-10.
Ok for impartiality reasons we do not want to know who is what nation and or who is the first player or second. Just announce the winner ok?

BTW, I don't think I will make it for a year.

	Put an end to popups!

Still need more moderators for the tournament. You want to see in detail how the some of the best in the world win.

Moderate this tourney you will advance light years in one round. The first "experienced" player to receive the first turns said... "I have learned alot all ready" Hey that was from bc to bc years heh the best is yet to come.

Email me at blackicegl@cogeco.ca make the subject "tourney moderator" you are in.

This is a unique opportunuty to see the best in the world turn by turn without getting your a** kicked

Hey Solver, do you think it's possible to post our round 2 opponents? Some of the participants may be having trouble arranging their first matches so having the option of a round 2 opponent may help move this tournament along a bit. It's disappointing to see that nobody has finished a first round game yet.
