A post on the forums is easier to do than a news post on the site

I'm glad to announce that we have arranged a public chat with the one and only Brian Reynolds The chat will take place on our #smac irc channel, on April 1st. More details will be posted later today at civilization.gamestats.com/smac

Be there!

MarkG! You're european, right? Will this be at a sensible time, perferrably not in the middle of the night?
MarkG posted 03-23-99 06:52 AM ET     Click Here to See the Profile for MarkG  Click Here to Email MarkG     
Yes, I'm a european....

It will be at 7PM EST, which is 12PM GMT(yes, midnight! ). I know, it's not the best time for europeans, but it's not that bad either(the EBWorld chat took place at 2AM GMT...)

That's all right. April 1st is in the Easter Holidays anyway, so I can stay up late.

tOFfGI: "so I *can* stay up late."

Yeah. Like you never did. And don't try to make us believe the contrary !

And if you never stay up until late in the night (or early in the morning), would you care to share with the Forums Community the "Miracle Cure to JOMTS (tm)" that you undoubtedly have discovered ?

(Not that I want to be cured anyway )

I'm inclined to agree with you Bdot. I have doubts about ANYTHING I hear about happening on April First.

Well, I hope you will be convinced when you see the announcement on the official sites(alphacentauri.com and firaxis.com)

Hey MarkG, you better learn how to use mIrc a little better. Learn especially how to set up a channel properly, as it is now topics can change without notice...

Yeah, yeah, corrected...

MarkG,

Since it looks like we're spooling up to be in Kosovo, it looks like the only computer I'll be able to get a hold of will be the fire control system on my Abrams tank. Would you mind if I dropped by for the chat, or better yet, could I drop by to play SMAC and CTP? Greece isn't that far away and I'm sure my Squadron commander won't mind if I take a few days off to do a few "Simulator Workups".

uncleroggy out
