[PTTG??]

What you do is you create an internet game use the option to load the saved game that you've recived. When people sign on, they have to enter their passwords. I've gotten this setup to work on a LAN, anyway.

We could use Hamachi and forceip for a LAN game.

Edit: Wimdit, I got your Univeristy save instead of the Nilocyites one... Can you send me my turn please

[Wimdit]

Oh hell I forgot to end turn. Sending out the real save.

PTTG?: hey, maybe you'll give us some more details on how we're gonna start the "live" game? Are we going to need those tools Pandarsenic mentioned? Or do we just get your IP address(which is...?)

[PTTG??]

I have a dynamic IP; that's all you'll need to join once we've started, but every time I start a new connection it changes (on the other hand, I'm safe from IP bans...) It won't affect the game in progress.

This page from the dark ages of the internet has some useful information.

Edit; Wow, that page is at least a decade old. That's scary.

My good people, shouldn't there be the so-called "live" game starting in an hour or two?
Are we all ready and willing to sacrifice few hours of our lives to play the SMAC today?
PTTG?, give us some info as to when and what(IP) and anything else we should know before trying to connect(like what difficulty level should we all choose etc)

edit:ok, Il P. goes to bed. Won't be up utill 12GMT.

[PTTG??]

OK, whoever has the save, send it to me so I can start the game.

From now on, present all times in GMT+0; for instance, I'll go to sleep around 2PM and be ready to start the game saturday morning at 1AM.

EDIT:
I'm going to try a test game now. My IP is: [[----]] Look for ChironBetaPrime.

EDIT: Sorry, IP changed. The new IP is [[75.208.134.125]].

[Wimdit]

Game not found. Was it still up five minutes ago?

Edit: Found it, but it says your version is older than mine. I've got both 4.0 and the XP compatibility pack, do you?

[PTTG??]

Huh, thought I was up to date. I'll take a look and make a note when I'm hosting again.

EDIT: I've reinstalled the patch, give it a go.

Well, nobody's around anymore. I'll try again after I eat.

Surely you must've meant sunday morning, unless you have a time machine.
Ok, so 1AM, 8 Feb?
Let's hope everybody is going to be there.

[PTTG??]

I did the conversion wrong. Google says the current time is 5:37PM Saturday.

My IP for today is:

[[75.211.20.90]]

I don't have the save yet, so this will be a pickup game unless it arrives; I'll keep the game open all day until we get some players.

[Il Palazzo]

apparently, Nilocy has got the save(...since wednesday, grr).

edit: oh, and please people, be there at 1AM. I'm not especially happy staying up so late at night everyday, only to find out that somebody forgot to at least let us know that they won't be able to make it.
