A wild FlyingMongoose appears! And brings Pitboss! (Civ 4)

[FlyingMongoose]

• I got it working! I got a pitboss server working, I have yet to place it ON a server in which we can all connect and join and enjoy a game of CIV 4, but here's the deal:
  Pitboss is a standalone server software for direct IP connection to a Civilization 4 game.
  
  Because I got it working with latest patch
  (1.74 available here), both fully updated non-steam, and fully updated steam client owners of Civilization 4 will be able to connect to the game! (I don't know about cracked/hacked users, haven't tried, but if you have it you can check for us once i have an IP up).
  
  SO, it's working now, what needs to be done now is decision as to settings.
  
  First up: Must be vanilla (anyone who has it can guarantee they have vanilla better than the expansions, I personally only have vanilla myself, but I'll probably get the expansions somewhere down the line.
  
  If you're not ainmosni, skip ahead to part 3.
  Second up: I would like an SMTP server from ainmosni if possible, the pitboss server does automatic e-mailing stuff for when it's people's turns and they're not on, the login info I can place is as follows
  SMTP Host
  SMTP Login
  SMTP Password
  E-mail address
  Seeing as it's a simple interface I doubt it supports SSL or even TSL, or other secure layers for e-mail. This is why I'm asking ainmosni.
  
  Part 3: this will be set up as a direct IP.
  Part 4: password will be brbu
  
  Part 5: (the long part)

as long as it's not laggy as fuck, and takes 3 hours like last time =)

[Eschatos]

Continents, Temperate, Low, Ancient, Quick, Random Personalities, No Space Race plz

[Vongore]

India only, no items, Final Desination

[FlyingMongoose]

It shouldn't be laggy, and, with the way the pitboss server works, anyone who logs in will be able to take their turns at any time of the day whenever they feel like it, we could, if we wanted, have ourselves a game that lasts over months...it also allows for saves in case server goes down, it does auto-saving as well.

[Wedge]

I've never played a game on anything faster than Epic speed, nor have I ever played stock Civ IV (always both expansions + fan patch), so I wouldn't know what to do.  I don't think I've ever gotten past 1600 AD either though... c.c

[FlyingMongoose]

Honestly, to make this game epically awesome, I think it should be marathon, 24 hour time limit per move.

[Surf314]

Oh fuck me in the ass hard this sounds way cooler than Ianki and Surf's retarded chess! I'm in :-D

How did this become my retarded chess.  I just agree to get beat during work.

[Dave]

[Scary Womanizing Pig Mask]

I call Stalin! I'd need to rebuy them though first.

[ZargonX]

Man, I've been playing with the expansions so long, I need to go back and remind myself how vanilla plays...

[Scary Womanizing Pig Mask]

Should we make a list of interested parties?

Interested:
Mongoose
Fuck Duck
Benito?
Eschatos
Vongore?
Wedge?
Dave
Scary Womanizing Pig Mask
Zargon
Bacon
Bacon buddy
Vandam
Chooly

[Greatbacon]

I'm in.
I've got a legit Vanilla version and the expansions, although they are less legit.
I also have a buddy who is into this, although I don't know how he would feel about a pure vanilla game.

[Vandamguy]

i would install for this
i'd prefer a 24 or 12  hour turn timer to.  i'd like to fit this into my forum browsing schedual  ( once in the mornin' , once in the evenin' )

anyone who wants to play it faster than that should make their own game

This is why we stopped playing Civ4 if I recall...
Now that we've got a pitboss server, I'm down  --- Thanks Mongoose!  8)

I'd be down with a 24 hour turn limit.  With school I don't think I could manage a 12 hour limit, I usually wake up around 15 minutes before first bell

[copulatingduck]

24hr turn limit for sure. My sleep schedule wanders and drifts too much for me to manage a 12hr turn limit.

[Dave]

... this isnt  fucking chess, i dont want to play one move at a time

fuck that play a real match where we dont have to wait a week to build a unit!?!
