Realms Beyond Pitboss Planning Thread

Ok when in doubt direct connect to modem.

he F5D8236-4 will not allow you to forward enough ports, to run Civilization IV. You should try using the DMZ portion of this router if it is available. Alternatively you can try switching the router to bridged mode. You will need to contact your ISP to switch to bridged mode, so they can make the required changed on their end.

Just my luck. I will just direct connect while I am playing this

If you're in the market, I recommend the Apple Airport Extreme I just bought. While there are no macs on this network, the router quality is very nice, even considering the high price.

Here is my first post in my player thread (it doesn't have any spoilers):

Greetings!

This thread is for Fenton Denton Smith and me to record our progress in the first RB Civilization IV pitboss game. If you are playing (on another team) in this game, kindly do not read this thread

Important!

Please make every effort to avoid spoilers. Interaction from non-team-members is welcome and encouraged, but be sure that you do not give away information that Fenton and I shouldn't know. For example, asking us what turn we expect to complete a wonder or settle a city might tip us off that another team is trying to do the same thing.

Also, we have two games going on at once now (the PBEM and the Pitboss). Players from the PBEM game may read this thread, so please avoid posting spoilers about the PBEM game here. If you do want to compare the two games, please do so within spoiler tags which are clearly marked as spoiling the PBEM, like this:

PBEM #1 Spoiler Follows:

xxxxx

EDIT: It looks like spoiler tags don't work on these forums?

Likewise, I will still be reading the PBEM threads, so don't post any spoilers about this game in those threads.

Finally, if you are not playing in this game, you may want to consider being a backup for one of the teams. This would mean you would not be able to read the spoilers for any of the other teams, and that if the team wasn't able to play the turn (due to vacation or other issues), you might be able to. Fenton and I would be more than happy to have a backup, although it might be more fair to choose a 1-player team to serve as the backup for.

Thanks, and enjoy!
Daniel

Other players might want to post something similar. And please do not post any spoilers in the first post of your player thread, the mouseover popup on the forums could accidentally reveal this.

Logged in fine and ended turn.

Does the "Exit to Desktop" bug still exist?

[Broker33]

question if everyone ends thier turn does the timer still need to finish or does it move immediatly to the next turn?

[Kodii]

It goes to the next turn.

m_h and I have set up a joint e-mail account for the game. Can we have a thread which lists the e-mail addresses for each team?

I'll make it in the pitboss subforum...also, can Sullla or another admin move this thread there as well?

Just confirming that I've successfully logged in and played (and ended) a turn on the test game
