Not a smurf here either.

By the way,I can't start my own spoiler thread. Is there something I needed to do?

[SevenSpirits]

Gawdzak, I think there might be a silly rule that you have to have 10 posts before starting a thread, to prevent spambots that try only posting 1-9 times before starting a thread from starting threads. So if you reply a few more times here you should be good to go.

@Krill, I put "no smurfs please" in the rules, so I'm not worried about it.

[Gawdzak]

Alright that makes sense.

I signed up to lurk German J, but I didn't realize you were still taking signups. If you actively want more folks,, I'm game. Already posted in his spoiler thread though, so if that's a no-no, then nevermind.

Having lurked some PB games here, I'm pretty decisively not in the same class as the better players, but I think I can put up a better fight than a few of the guys I've seen.

I'll check back in a couple of hours.

Provided German J is ok with that, I have no objections to you joining Douglas. Since we haven't got a starting screenshot yet, the threads themselves shouldn't really have any spoilers in them currently aside from individuals opinions on the mod itself. Krill said he wouldn't start the map until monday so there shouldn't be any problems with adding another player in.

Are the sign ups for this one still open?

Also, since the only change between 1.21 and 1.2 is the America bugfix, can we use 1.2 if nobody picks America? I say this pretty much because for some reason downloading the mod is a bitch: I've been trying for hours to get 1.21 to work after it took a long time to get 1.2 to work, including what I did with 1.2, and it still hasn't worked.

It really shouldn't be difficult. Download, unzip, cut and paste, check you don't have a folder within a folder. For me it's

C:\Program Files (x86)\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\RBCiv Tides of War v1.21

Make sure the next level after that is \Assets, not \RBCiv Tides of War v1.21 again.

Did you locate the folder in which you put 1.2? (It should end with \Mods.) If so, put 1.21 into the same folder and make sure you don't have a repeat folder inside it.

Aaaaaah, woke up today and re-did it, it appears my problem was I selecting it wrong and doing the folder-in-a-folder thing. XD Got it to work now, 1.21 is go!

LP has tempted me into possibly joining this one too, if there's room. I haven't really looked at any of the details of the mod but since I'm playing the 32-player RBMod game without ever playing a game on the RBMod, it's no different for me than playing on another mod I know nothing about.
If I do join, I'd really like if someone would lurk me (I never seem to get anyone to lurk my threads that I can converse with....in the 32-player one, no one ever comments on my stuff)....especially for the snake pick part. I TOTALLY suck at trying to decide on the leader/civ picking since I don't really have enough specific varied experience with them. I'd almost likely end up randomly picking from what's available when my turn comes. :P

You know, with all this talk of Smurfs, I really want to see someone with a Smurfs civ naming theme.
