CIV4 GAMING SESSION
When: Saturday, February 4th. This will go on a weekly basis from now on, every Saturday.
What time, stupid?: 9PM GMT. This means 4PM EST, 1PM PST. Calculate your time to make sure it's correct.
The session will consist of a FREE-FOR-ALL game. No permanent alliances, no metagaming, no griefing. This means no allying with a forum friend just to get an advantage over everyone else. If you're thinking of doing this, DO NOT sign up.
Diplomacy will consist of more than just the in-game interface. Since we're all real human beings with real human emotions and the capacity to write real human messages, we can use out-of-game communication systems to negotiate. Forum PMing works. Xfire IMing works. Since this involves out-of-game mechanics, you can't *guarantee* everything, so it will be based on how much you trust the other person WITHIN the game. Allying against a common threat doesn't mean you won't be ambushed by your ally sometime soon. Trust can also be use for further diplomacy. If you find that one player can't be trusted too much, you'll be more wary further along the session.
Please, sign up only if you're almost sure to be able to make it every Saturday from now on. Hopefully, the sessions will last at least 2-3 hrs per week. If you *do* have to miss one session, we'll have you replaced by AI, unless you ask a friend to fill up for you.
Xfire is pretty much a must, in order for me to better coordinate gaming sessions. It's about time we take advantage of the Obs Xfire network.
Hopefully, we can get around 6-10 players. Or possibly more.
Game on!
Also, we should probably decide who reserves which leader from here.
