Civilization IV PBEM Game

[Kizyr]

It's on! We'll use this thread to trash-talk, taunt, or if you'd like, maybe negotiations even.

Player Order
So here are the players in order:
1) Kizyr - Julius Caesar of the Romans
kaizyr [at] gmail.com

2) Sonic# - Elizabeth I of the English
jhowar16 [at] gmail.com

3) Ardent Fox - Catherine of the Russians
foxthevaliant13 [at] gmail.com

4) Phyco126 - Washington of the Americans
Phyco126 [at] gmail.com

Instructions
- Usual PBEM rules here. When you receive the save file, load it and play your turn. Once you're done with your turn, it'll save the game in the same folder. Email this save file to the next one in the list (so I email Sonic#, Sonic# emails Ardent, Ardent emails Phyco, and Phyco emails me).
- Be sure to send the next person the game you just saved, not the one you just received! This should be easy, as it'll say something like "Civ4 LunarNET Game to [next person in list]" or something.
- Also, when you first load the game, you'll be prompted for a password. Enter one (and remember this or write it down; you'll need it for the rest of the game). Every time you load the game thereafter, you'll need to enter that password.
- I'm not sure how trade works out yet. We'll build that bridge when we come to it.

Rules
Map: Terra, Small, Temperate Climate, Normal Sea Levels
Game: Ancient Era Start, Normal Speed
Victory Conditions: Conquest, Space Race, Culture, no Diplomatic

Misc
Please post here if you're expecting a delay for any reason (vacation, e.g.). I mean all of us have lives, so it's understandable if there's a week here or there where you can't play a turn and get back to us. But it's nice to have some notice so we're not wondering if you forgot.

So I just sent the first turn to Sonic#.

SIC INFIT!
-SPQR

[Sonic#]

And I just sent to Ardent Fox. I have found a quiet little bit of Earth to establish my Londonium... and when I am a little more awake, I'll actually spell it right!

[Ardent Fox]

Sent on to Psycho. Russia has risen and local villages have seen fit to give us money if we help them survive our harsh winters. Wise move for such barbaric tribes.

[phyco126]

Ardent, can you send it again? I just checked my e-mail and its not there, not even in my junk mail.

[Sonic#]

Those Americans and their red tape. 4000 BCE and they're already losing their passport applications.

[Kizyr]

....this is going to be problematic if it happens every turn. KF

[phyco126]

Well, I suppose in the best interest of the game, you can mass e-mail me the save. I have a 3 e-mail accounts that I check daily, so it's bound to make it to me in one of them.

Phyco126 [at] gmail.com
Phyco126 [at] netzero.net
Charles_ritz15 [at] hotmail.com

Remember folks, the bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the bureaucracy.

[Ardent Fox]

I managed to grab some time to send another. Sorry, I sent it to the Hotmail account.

[phyco126]

Alright, despite the Russians attempting to already sabatage our mighty nation, we have found a perfect settlement location. Soon America will rise and our capitilistic ways shall sway influance across the world. Of course, it'll have to come at a cost of some education, so pardon the grammar. Someday I shall offer reforms, someday...

[Sonic#]

A query: Who hast dropped the coronal and set it a-tumble down the steps at Winchester? Or, perhaps I should say, to whom does the turn fall? It has been many a day since I have issued a command to my people, and I would be loathe to find they have been idle.

[Kizyr]

(And so it begins...) Well, I sent mine off and haven't received anything from Phyco yet, so it's either Ardent Fox or Phyco. KF

[phyco126]

Which turn? I sent turn 3 (4?) to Kiz. So unless the e-mail got lost in cyberspace, I say don't look at me.

[Ardent Fox]

This is an absolute outrage! Russia demands satisfaction!

[Kizyr]

The last email I got was for 3920BC (Turn 3), on November 15th.

Did you send it to the right address? If so, try my regular gmail instead:
kaizyr -at- gmail.com

If that works, then I'll change my email address in the first post to reflect that; there may be some odd issues with the forwarding. KF

[phyco126]

Alright, I'll send it again. Perhaps each of us should have two e-mails, just in case?

Edit: Kiz, I sent you the save via your gmail account.

[Kizyr]

Ok, finally received it and sent it off to Sonic#.

I changed my email address in the first post, by the way. So just use my gmail address here on out.

Also, I'm going to be on vacation from Tuesday to Monday, so... if I get another turn in that week, I won't be able to return it 'til Monday evening. KF

[Aquaignis]

Any chance you guys can post non-too-revealing screenshots? Ya know, for bragging rights? lol, i kinda want to follow this.

[phyco126]

The American people enjoy showing what Democracy and freedoms can do for a nation. Once there is a nation to post a picture of, that is. It'll be a few days me thinks before anything worth posting.

[Sonic#]

Yeah, right now I have only three or four cities, so that would hardly be fair.

And by that I mean it's four turns in. Hardly a shape to the map, yet.

[Kizyr]
