I'm comfortable making that the border to the Japanese lands, and willing to allow only Caravels and Scouts past that line if you are. |

The borders to the Japanese lands and people are infinite, as the back brain kicks of Emperor Hayabusa are infinite. We may roam where we please, while you may only roam where we please. I hope you can understand the difference.

The Emperor Hayabusa does not find your attempt at humor funny. Only the Emperor Hayabusa, by way of the Back Brain Kick, has the right to laugh. And he will. As he kicks you on the back of your head, he will laugh loudly and mightily. Long live the Great Emperor Hayabusa!

Hmm, a map and 2 scouts. These tribes must hate where they live to be exploring around this much...

I'm at work, so this is the first time I've been able to contact anyone.
For the past day, my internet has died. I have a techie from my cable company looking at it, finding out why I'm getting so many disconnects and why it died, so as soon as I am able to get it back on, the game will be back on. Sorry for this delay -- but I'm doing everything I can to get it back up.

The forces of the Great Emperor Hayabusa has found the path you took through the Mountains of Dread to reach our lands. You are a sneaky people.
The Great Emperor Hayabusa is not without understanding. He understands that the limited intelligence of your people and he knows you did not know whose lands you were entering. Because of this, and his unbounded mercy, he has decided against back brain kicking your leader, but he is put on notice -- leave our lands and never return, all the while genuflecting as you leave, or back brain kicks will be issued to all your pitiful people. You are welcome. ALL HAIL THE GREAT EMPEROR HAYABUSA!

Just letting y'all know that I'll be out of town this weekend, so you might be waiting on me today and WILL be waiting on me on Saturday. I should be back in town and ready to take a turn Sunday evening...

This time I was in the middle of taking my turn when it lost connection. I'm unable to reconnect.

Update (I'm posting this in another thread as well):
After weeks of spotty performance that I believed was due to my cable connection -- after weeks of calling the cable company in to switch out the modem, doing checks on everything under the sun -- after weeks of my connection dying pretty much each night and causing me no end of annoyance and poor performance for the Pitboss game -- it all came to a head last night. My NetGear Router Died. Yes, 4 "experts" on the internet looked at my 2 year old router and told me if couldn't possibly be that, but yet my router completely died last night. I hooked the cable up to my roommates CPU and it worked fine. Hook it up to the router -- no connectivity. So, I'm on the lookout for another wireless router. Any suggestions?

I don't trust wireless security, and I hate routers. For about 8 years now I've been running two computers through a simple 4-port hub (with two IP addresses from my ISP). The hub has never given me any trouble at all. Simple solution, and the hub would cost you about $5 if you can still find them on the market.

The Emperor Hyabusa obviously is lacking in technological advancement. His are a backward people, totally unable to communicate and play well with others, and will soon be subjugated.

Well, considering that none of use will discover fiber optics for at least another 4500 years or so, we might be kinda stuck here.

It's HAYABUSA! With an "A". Only people who forget "A's" in Emperor's names are backwards. As for the technological thing ... um ... I plead no contest. Still trying to get this to work. It'll work for a bit, then not. I know I"m missing something simple, just have to make it work somehow. I appreciate your patience. I understand it's frustrating, but I'm working on this the best I can.

Now seems like a good time to say "thanks" to Eric for working so hard to keep us all entertained. Here's hoping you're ultimately successful!

Ok ... it seems to be working. The correct IP now should be: 24.154.139.99
New service -- FOFC Webstats!!! Are you away from the computer that has Civ4? Are you curious how much time is left in your turn and who's still left to take their turn. This LINK will take you to a live, active and consistant site where info about our FOFC game is updated. After everyone takes an initial turn, when people take their turn, how much time is left in the turn and who's winning is available from any computer at any time. I hope this is interesting to people. The name of the link is: http://www.apartment167.com/pitboss/....php?gameid=46

dola --
I'm glad to see everyone's able to log on now (if you can't, PM me and we'll make sure you're on the right IP). I am sorry for all the delays, as I know I told you Pitboss would be a quicker game than normal. Hopefully with the techie things fixed, things can get back to a normal 24 hour turn. I very much appreciate everyone's patience on this. I really do hope this'll be the last trouble we'll have with this game. Again, I'm sorry for the long delays on this. I just wanted y'all to know I appreciate you participating in my little game. - Eric

Can we make the turns faster than 24 hours? It seems like we have a few laggards that are always eating the entire clock - and I'd like to get in more than one turn a day. At this rate, we'll have tanks by next January. What does everyone else think?

I think we should give it a few days of being back to 'normal' before we decide to do anything like that. I know a few days of not being able to log in ever got me discouraged, and I forgot to check in for a few days. Now that it seems to be up and running smoothly, I'd imagine we'll pick up the pace a little bit.

Well, this time it was intentional. We had a big ole' thunderstorm, so I and the lightning was awfully close, so I turned off the computer until it's over. I saved the game file, so it'll be back on in a couple of minutes.

Is this still the correct IP? It's the only one I can find written down on my desk, but I can't connect to it. I see Eric has been active this morning, so I guess the game is not down.

Lots and lots of updates!!!
Firstly, there is a new link for the Webstats for the FoFC Global game. It is: http://www.civstats.com/viewgame.php?gameid=46 I'll be PM'ing everyone with passwords you can use to "register" your leader. This opens up some options, including a new Diplomacy page. It's very neat. You'll also notice that during the night there was a whole bunch of new names assigned, then assigned back. That's me, experimenting on the new 2nd Pitboss game, and making sure things will be kosher between the two. Please rest assured that no changes were made to the actual game itself -- you don't have to redo your turns, and nothing happened -- the Webstats uploader for the two got mixed up. :-) Question, post 'em.
