Alpha Centauri?

Anyone fancy scheduling a game of this particular great? Sledra and I have been playing it recently and it's very good. I'm not 100% sure of getting it working on the interclick here, but we could always play a "play by email" game or something like that.

I think i have that somewhere. I would be up for a game, especially if it were in play by email mode. Most enjoyable.

I do remember sucking hard when playing anyone other that the computer. But it'll be fun none the less.

Okay I'll look at adding it to the 5chedulers games list, but I doubt I'll add it to the forum unless people really want me too of course

Does Alpha Centauri really deserve a 98% rating?

What? When? where?

I would say no. High 70's, maybe mid 80's if i was feeling happy.

Definetely not 98%. It is very good, but can get repetitive.

There's no need at all for a forum for it, but it'd be nice to get a PBE game going. I shall investigate.

OK. PC Gamer gave it a 98%. That must be a mistake.

They do like their big brains in that magazine. Anyway, PBE, make it happen.

*installs*

EDIT: by the way, are we talking vanilla flavoured Alpha Centuri, or the expansion pack too?

EDITIER: erm, just looked at Play by email and got rather confused. Hows this work then?
