I'll hop onto quakenet also, but yesterday Quantum couldn't get there.

join quakenet, truper.

Looks like we are going to try and pack in an extra game today (monday), back on gamesurge.

Another bump, just in case.

Is it possible some one could post th ip and port for a game right before it starts? Cause I can't use irc, because the one I have found for a mac is hopelessly confusing.

That would be possible. Hopefully, someone with more knowledge about macs than me might be able to help you connect though.

Coupla problems with that... First, simply timing : when the server goes up, it's generally because people are (finally) ready to get to playing. Posting and waiting for someone to possibly connect would generally just result in the games being further delayed. Heck, enough time gets wasted waiting for people who came onto IRC for the game and then wandered away from their computer....

Also, even with everyone on IRC there's often an issue with people not using the right mods, not paying attention to house rules for that game (for instance, the occasional "immobiles only" or "Human mages only" game), turning out to not have the map that was chosen, etc.

Speaking of maps, quantum - you have Cirlani on your computers again?

Dunno - if you have an instant messenger program, maybe someone on channel could get in touch with you via that, or best of all, try to find another Mac IRC client. There's a couple listed here.

I found a bunch, but this is my first time using an IRC program, so I was hopelessly confused last weekend trying to get to the dominions channel

Which IRC server is being attempted this weekend? Are we avoiding gamesurge because of the problems previous weekends?

Also, for possibly newcomers : there's generally a house rule that no mercenaries are hired before turn 10, to help keep the game balanced in the early turns.

Post the time and I will be there. (if it�s not at the same time that the football match, Argentina-Ecuador)
