Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1

[Rigelian]

Re Fake captures - I meant BOTH of the scenarios outlined by Gwaihir below

is it two players agreeing to "trade" a ship by declaring war and presenting a vulnerable ship for easy capture? Or is it that there is no setting to prevent ship trades, so people trade them in sectors with boarding ships to make it look like a real capture?

So I meant anything that is not a genuine, captured-in-heat-of-battle transfer of technology.

Here's another suggestion that I implemented in my latest game (ConventionalWarfare_1_49). Restrict Trade-generating relationships to two per player. I find this has made people much more careful about how they make and break alliances, as well as stopping massive trade income and almost-dead 'zombie' empires with huge 'virtual' trade revenues.

anything that is not a real capture...

[tesco samoa]

Rigelian Yep your right...

I have never ran into that problem with trading empires... Seems all my games break down to wars quite quickly

[TrXtR]

Ok, I have never played it multiplayer, dont ask me why I havent earlier.

I did register for the Game, and well, used Jordanian Empire as a name ... had no clue what to take.
Ive read the faq on pbm site, but I'm not a 100 percent sure on anything yet.
Do I need to create my Empire, and send to you?
And the empire images, can those be the standard ones?

Ive read all the rules and so forth, and hope Someone will soon ally me under protectorate treaty

If anyone can give me any info I need to do this .. maybe where I can read good detail of how this is going to work I will apprecieate very much. Ive got till 25th I believe to get everything ready, and hope to be long done before then.

Thanx

Did anyone reply to TrXtR privately about his questions? Assuming not, here are some answers.

Do I need to create my Empire, and send to you?

You need to upload your empire to the seiv site, rather than send to the host. He will get them all as a package using admin options that you cannot see.

And the empire images, can those be the standard ones?

Using the standard pictures - you can do so, but still select them as you upload your empire - they will be under 'Stock Shipset XXX'. This is so other players know what you're using and can avoid a clash.

My suggestion to you, if you have not already done so, is to play a simultaneous-movement game against the computer before joining this one. The mechanics are quite different.

Oh, and once you are playing, its generally not a good idea to confess newbie status - you might get fried by some ruthless bastard.... like me

[tesco samoa]

I sent an email...

Did not hear back.

Also this game is almost full.....

So if you want one of the Last 4 spots hop to it!

[TrXtR]

Hi Everybody. I am Truly sorry for the delay.
I have uploaded my file now. And I think everything should be fine.

Thanx for not kicking me out.

Also, I will notify the admin, but next month,
there will be a weekend when I'll be away.
Only 3 days. And further I think everything should be fine.

Please note that for Subjugation treaty applications, I will gladly accept. Just contact me when we meet. I'm sure that me subjugating you will be to your and my advantage, but ofcourse, you might dissagree .

>3. First turn will be alpu. To iron out any >problems with empires etc.... THis will be your >only chance of getting a restart.

What means alpu?

[tesco samoa]

Ha Ha.

Ok The game will start on Friday.

[Rigelian]

What means alpu?

"After Last player Uploads", that is to say when all have submitted a turn.

As for subjugation.. I have never been a fan of that. If you're powerful enough to demand it, you're powerful enough to walk in and take ALL their economy..
