Unfortunately I do not have much time at the moment and 2 games already running (as a host btw) so I won't be able to play a new game. However, I will gladly host a game for you, not much trouble here. In this case I might even add a AI races that I play if I have the time and leave it to the AI if I don't have time.

Mephisto, sorry you won't be able to join us in bashing, flaying and combooberating each other in the up coming game, your volunteering to host, is ok with me if you don't mind, If everyone agrees, I guess we can get started sometime next week, hopefully, tks, appreciate it

we need everyone who wants to play to post, also what eveeryone agrees to, or we can just give generalization to Memphisto and let him seet it up.

Since I've never played PBW games, I would like direction as to what I have to do to get myself set up, I will go to the PBW site again and log in, at least thks to GEO I got that problem solved.

lets hear from everyone who wants in

I agree to everything.

Ok, here is what I need from each of you for setup:

Create a new folder named after your race (please only one word if possible) and put in there all the pictures you want your race to use. By creating a folder for each of your races we can later change picture and AI files as we see fit. Trust me on this.

Zip this folder and sent it to me at [email protected].
Load SE4, setup the race you would like to play and save this race to an emp file. Sent me this emp file, too. Make sure your password is set to �START� so I can access the emp files for setting up the game properly.
Include in your Email the password you want to use during the game. I will put in this one instead of �START� before beginning the game.

That�s it.

All of you now just have to tell me how your galaxy should look like: Ancient, normal, cluster, small, medium, large, random events on/off, tech level at start, planets at start ect..

Howdy.

This sounds good. Can we settle on 3000 racial points? It is in the middle… Once we have consensus, we can send races over to Mephisto.

Noble Growltigga,
Also known as "The Tactful Trigga Tigga"
So pesonable this Monday morning. What an interesting change. I hope this day finds you well and that the local constabulatory do not find Mrs Tigga.

Your delayed entre into the game works for me.
Mephisto, is it possible to include one AI that Trigga Tigga can take over when he has time and let the AI run when he does not?

The High Gryphin of The Eiries of Gryphin reconizes the bashful low level of Combat Readyness of the Tiggas. We have many Centuries of introducing the young and inexperianced into the ways of both the "Art of Space Warfare" and the Exaulted Gryphin Positon.

Greeting High Gryphin, mighty leader of the moustachioed masses of Gryphins - Eerie Gryphins? great name there as I think you lot are strange too

I am glad you appreciate that the fighting ferocious furry feline fiends (how is that for alliteration!!!??) of Tiggadom are slightly out of kilter but then it is THAT time of the month when furballs and grooming can incapacitate the finest

Please can you just vapourise me in combat - I don't want to be in the same galaxy when you show some poor young and inexperienced person the 'Exalted Gryphin Position'

Growtigga, in the garage is one of the lst places the cops will look, poor Mrs GT

I'm with GT, not all that computer literate, so the same goes for me, "ditto" as far as set up

Mephisto, since you were one of the beta testers, don't know if these are bugs or what.
Gold Version, Original, no mods, set up mines fields up in the game, one wp had 80+, Piounda, spelling is off, came in and swept the fields. When I later fought the ships and cked the designs, nowhere on them were sweeping componets,
example the 80+ mines took out 1 out of 5 ships, no damage to others.

2nd, when I went and cliked on my planet weapons to split them up, I cliked off some and left rest on, when I fired they all fired at the same target at the same time. Wasn't able to split them up. Bug??

GT, 48hr turn around ok with me,

just some ideas a helmeted Mac

Growltigga · #**139** March 19th, 2002, 02:15 AM

First, greetings to you all. I hope this post finds you all well, able and fit. I also hope that life is treating you kindly and that whatever your problems may be, they are minor and easably solvable.

Secondly, I am completely easy on any option for the game. The only thing is I have only ever played on a 1 planet start up, low tech, low racial points, low alien races, no neutrals, large galaxy and grid/cluster type- if we use anything other than this, please anticipate and be kind on the learning curve.

Thirdly, I am definately up for this game, although I cannot start this week, or maybe not next due to work commitments and the fact that I think I am going insane. It also depends on how long before the police find Mrs GT's body buried under the garage. Can we have a 48 hour turn-turnaround?

Fourthly - I have not ordered Gold yet and dont anticipate being able to for another month or so. I completely endorse the idea that we play on 1.49 until 30 days after the Last team player announces they have gold. I dont think this will be a problem from my point of view as I severely doubt that I will still be alive and in the game within 30 days.

Fifthly, keep in mind everyone that it is not kind to gang up on one inexperienced player, however much you envy him or whatever, and beat them into a pulp.

Sixthly, Mephisto, you must treat me as a complete computer virgin - can I have a step by step guide of HOW I create files, move files over and then send them to you etc

Cheers all

Tigga,

Sorry for what ever has put you so out of sorts. It was a bit of a shock to the system seeing you choosing such gentle and polite words. In any case, once they find the body in the garage and you are single and on the run, do come visit. The cops are easy to bribe and I am compiling a data base of eligible women. Just be sure to pick up a bottle or three on the way through duty free. Seriously, I do hope things smooth out for you.

You should not worry about being killed in the first month. Multiplayer games take a long time. Running 48 hour turns, you can expect only 15 turns in the first month and only the most homicidal, and lucky, empire could kill another that fast. No, it will be a much more extended ravaging of your empire, Lasting several months. On the other hand, I only learned you have to turn cloaking on the other day, so do not feel you are alone in the newbie world.
