I'd like to sign up 

[sisko]

hello, zsozso. good to see you here.
i added your handle to the Green section of the ladder: http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?action=pages

i need to know if you are available for challenges.

Challenges

Challenges are the only way to move up the ladder in the Elite section. Any player may challenge any other player to a game provided they are both available for challenge. Challenges must be accepted if the challenger is immediately below the player challenged or if the player being challenged is not currently involved in any challenge game. If neither of those conditions is met, the challenge may be declined or deferred. Of course, players may play as many challenge games simultaneously as they desire.

if you choose not to participate in the challenges, you will be confined to the veteran section where you will be able to play free-for-all (FFA) games only.

also, you can take advantage of the on-going ladder games from other sites if all other players involved in these games will register for this ladder.

Note: all the results of the ongoing / finished ladder games at the time this competition is launched (TBA) can be entered in the Alpha Centauri Ladder provided the game was a ladder game, the players are registered here and there is a public record of the results.

welcome, SgtSlick!  you're in: http://alphacentauri2.info/index.php?action=pages

same problem as zsozso, though: i need to know if you are available for challenges.
(players can choose to not be available for challenges, but this will confine them to the Veteran section of the ladder)

Who's up for a game?

[Eldramatico]

Please sign me in the ladder, but I won't be available for challenges for now, I'd like the ladder to be more filled up so people will see there is still action and players interested

where do i connect to the network?

It's good to see you are new here Rincewind, there is no big network as Battlenet on SMACX but it depends on who you're playing with, so you have to find the players and then decide whether you prefer a TCP/IP game or PBEM. TCP/IP require a set time between players considering the time zone to gather on Hamachi(with it the game has less chances to bug) and launch the game. It can be continued on PBEM or on another TCP game set later on if all the players are there at the same time.

PBEM requires only a CMN to set the game if it is a balanced or predesigned map, or launch a random or planet map with game. You just need the email addresses of other players and time to play the turn when you receive it via/email.
