	looking for multiplayers Get a bigger avatar today!

I am a bit of a new guy to AC but from playing it seems alot like Civilization. You might say its the thing that happens after your ship lands on AC in Civlization. I still want to try to play online with someone. So my ip is 65.143.231.223 and email is dakeru_the_elf@msn.com

	Hi again Laz Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

I would be willing to try this if we could find a good time to play. Or we could be part of another PBEM here. Do you have the original or expansion also, Dakeru?

Hi guys!

another good place to sign up for PBEM's, and discuss SMAC(X) strategies is at the Civgaming website:

http://www.civgaming.net/forums

Also, as far as IP games are concerned: I don't think you can save them off and then re-start them as IP games later. From my experience the only way you can continue a saved off IP game is thru PBEM. FYI. Regardless, if your getting an IP game up sometime, keep me in mind. E-Mail is dnandal@twcny.rr.com , and I can host if necessary.

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

hey arc
the first 50 turns are so short it would still be good to do ip and get them out of the way atleast and then carry on with pbem when the turns take awhile.

darsnan or arc either of u wanna try setting up a quick ip game,taking 10 turns and saving it then trying to load it up as an ip game again 2moro(sunday) sometime to test ?

	Well, I'm willing to play IP Full PM-box? Change here!

I am waiting to see people move faster in my game, so I know how bad the PBEM can be sometimes. I accepted your ICQ request to add me to your list, so hopefully you will keep me abridged of the status of this game, because I'd like to learn more. I don't think you ever said if it was going to be expansion or not?

You can save IP games numerous times

The host (or whoever is going to save the game) has to wait until the rejigging and synchronization finishes at the end of an IP turn, then can save as a normal save game. It can then be restarted either as an IP game or a PBEM game, as many times as you want

Only problem when someone other than the host saves is that on re-opemimng as a continuation IP game, the old host might find that he begins the new year with his turn already completed (so it's best for the original host to set up, save, and restart when next IP'ing)

	Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Me and my friend have played numerous IP games and you can save at any time then load up the game again later in another session. I would never play PBEM as it is SLOW!!! If anyone is interested in playing TCP/IP with me my msn is delete_yourself_@hotmail.com. Perhaps we could make a list of players willing to play TCP/IP.
