I live in Central timezone and work at 10 on Friday. Count me in so long as it's a couple hours beforehand.

Ok! So it seems like for this game, unless someone else chimes in throughout the week, that it will be you me and gwiz. So, do you have any requests for game type? map type? Preferred special game rules?

I was thinking having us three and then a full board of AI's on Noble/monarch/whatever difficulty, depending on how good you folks are. Maybe we could potentially ally up if prudent when we find each other and just try to survive against them? Or would that be too easy/unfun?

As for game start date/time, how does friday late afternoon or evening sound? We basically only have to all simultaniously be there to start the game. Everything else is just gravy.

Let me know.

Not familiar with Pitboss but it sounds intriguing. Count me in. Beyond the Sword really balanced out the techs in the endgame better, I think. Also, reduced the power of catapults etc. by about half. I have tried playing online a couple times but it seems the anti-cheat codes aren't fixed. That and everyone logs in and out. I have a few friends who play but am waiting for them to get the BTS expansion.

Plenty of mutant enemy Back in the day at least!

I'm in CST (pan-america central)

If you want to test out connectability for 4, let me know. it will help make sure we don't have any rude surprises when we try to get together on friday.

It's been a long time since I played Civ4, so I have no special requests; you guys are probably much better than I at it.

Hehe, "grr arg" I see what you did there. Watched a lot of mutant enemy, have we?

About the start date, I'm in a way different timezone than you guys, I presume, so friday afternoon is much different for me than you. I'm at GMT +1 (denmark), what about you?

Ah, just noticed it.

Hence why I downvoted it

No ... but it's a good idea.

I don't suppose there's a "list five random sifted/pqueue videos" button is there?

I agree. I play it nearly every day. I check the VideoSift group from time to time but hardly anyone in the group seems to be playing when I do. Must be a timezone thing. <shrugs>

In reply to this comment by NicoleBee:
A complete nut for it! So easy to get into. And a larger percentage of tolerable multiplayer denizens than I've experienced with other games!

This video is insanity though.

Boy, you are a fan of TF2, ain't you? I've seen some of those sprays too. "It's Goofy Time!" is my fav.

I had no idea what you and fjnbk were talking about when referring to the Mandelbrot set, so I went to wikipedia and saw this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set#Image_gallery_of_a_zoom_sequence now my brain exploded due to exposure to pure awesomeness. Thanks a lot, dick!

So beautiful...

In reply to this comment by NicoleBee:
Well, that is -very- neat. Great idea for a tattoo. I think I'll go stare at some fractals for a while now!

In reply to this comment by Fjnbk:
Yeah, fullerenedream was thinking of getting a tattoo of a Mandelbrot Set a while back.

In reply to this comment by NicoleBee:
Is.. Is that an ASCII Mandlebrot set?

In reply to this comment by Fjnbk:
Congratulations to the two of you.

Maya is such a struggle, I tried learning it once. I have some friends who are pretty good at it, they even made a music video a couple of years ago. Let me know if you make something worth sharing

In reply to this comment by NicoleBee:
Not just spore! Playing spore and trying to learn Maya simultaniously! It's great fun. I can't wait until I actually know this stuff so it's not a constant struggle just to work out how to get a shader to do what I want. Also, to be able to get back to actually creating new things D:

Also; Never, never change your icon. Unless it's even more awesome.
