[TECHNICAL THREAD] for rules and settings and blaming the organizers

[Maga_R]

On behalf of Team Master and Margarita: We have read and understood the rules and are ready to play .

[Yuufo]

Yes let's start

[Maga_R]

Just couple reminders:

* we decided to put "do not play 2 turns in a row" rule on hold until turn 50, will revisit it then
* turns are going to be ca. 24h real time, with first turn 48-96h - Caledorn will announce the details
* some teams did not announce yet their email address or their team name

* some teams did not announce yet their email address or their team name

Team My Little Marathon Cannibal Pony - "Cannibal Pony" for short - has the following diplo email: team.mlmcp [at] gmail.com

Wrote that way back on page 36 of the Double-fun thread. Meaning that we were first to establish/publish team email.

Note to self: Ninja ability to go unnoticed remains a tad above peak efficiency. Tone it down until turn XXX, and then..

Sorry, Cannibal Ponies - your email added.

Game is up!

Initial first turn timer is set for 72 pitboss hours, to allow for a grace period and sims etc. The turn timer for subsequent turns is set for 22 pitboss hours, which should roughly turn out to be 24 hours realtime.

Shamelessly stealing this from sunrise089's tech threads (thanks, Old Harry, for the tip!):

Access the game via DirectIP connection to caledorn.no-ip.org:2057. No password is needed (nor will one permit a successful connection) when connecting to the game. Make 100% sure there are no spaces in the field or you'll get an error. Spaces love to crop up unexpectedly, so please double-check this before posting that you can't connect.

The first time a player logs into the game they will be asked to set and confirm a password. This is non-trivial to change, so please make sure you know what it is, can remember it, etc.

In-game you can play as normal. This game is played via simultaneous turns, so you can queue unit actions and builds like normal, even after you end turn. I get asked sometimes, so I'll note you press TAB to chat in-game. When you're done playing please log out via Exit to Main Menu, not Exit to Desktop (which can create connectivity/lag issues).

I have set a 72 hour timer per team for the first turn. Starting next turn the timer will switch to 22 in-game hours. Of course in the future the timer can be tweaked according to the wishes of the players.

This game uses Civstats to track the turns and other info. This game is here. If you want to register via Civstats and claim your civ the password for each civ is "rbpb14".

Thx, Caledorn.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks, Caledorn!

Just to be clear: do we need the BtS CD to play the game? Just checking because the game crashed on me twice and gave me that popup message.
