I've been trying to help others and teaching my sweetheart how to play SE IV

[Suicide Junkie]

This is probably a good place to draw attention to the fact that I need some testers & suggesters for P&N v2.6-PBW

AIs will be useless in this mod, but you can still run PBW, or a bunch of turns vs yourself.

Thank you for listening.

tks Mephisto, I'll give it a try later this wk, did you see the msg I left earlier on this thread in regards to possible bugs" any ideas?

I've been real busy at work, so I havn't had time to get on the forum or even play SE4 Gold at home, been putting in a good amt of overtime, hopfully, I should be caught up early this week.

GT after this past week, I intend to indulge myself with a quanity of brewskis here within the catina and to contemplate upon the universe according to the Tka-chik empire. As well as doing some off the cuff research into "Moose Kissing" and what the rewards of this phenomina might one indulge within his/her precepts of life.
Further, is this regulated to only one specific country or more reknown within the scope of the known world at large, and to what extent, could there be an epidemic of this strange custom out there somewhere? I shall conduct some scientific research into this new are and report my findings on this thread after close study.

Gryphin, glad you found a mate that takes an interest within the frame work of our gaming experience of SE4, just let her know to be easy on us lowly personna's when she joins the "posse", look foreward to enlighting her on the endeavors of righteousness discussions within our frame work.

SJ. I am interested in testing, but I don't know if I'll be able to give you the time you need, would this be a game I download and play myself or against other opponents? That would determine if I could help you out. I'm not all that computer literate, sigh,, but learning

just some ideas a verrryy tired helmeted mac

Hi Mac,
I saw your bug report. There could be several reasons for this. For example the minesweeper could have entered and then left again or one of the ships had a very big component that sucked in all the damage from the small mines without being destroyed.

Regarding connections: 2 friend of mine in my PBEM games are on 56K modems and it is no problem at all. The files I send you tend to be 500kb big, the files you send me are usually around 20kb. Remember, download time is not the limiting factor in a 48 hours game. We are not playing Counter Strike.

Moose kissing is sure to be practiced in Finland, but is probably spiced up with the odd reindeer thrown in for spice. Here in Kenya, the animal of choice is the Gnu, also known as the Bewilderedbeast. I understand that in England, there is a shortage of large animals, so a lot of cat kissing goes on. This may have something to do with repeated losses of SEIV games by some forum members.

Sounds like you'd be perfect. In addition to the debugging, I need to know whether things make sense, and what needs more explaining.
The mod is so very different from standard SE4, that it is impossible to mod AIs for it. You could play "vs self", and I will probably start a PBW game for testing.
I think I might even make a tutorial for the mod.

I'll send you a PM with a link to the file.
Thanks. Every little bit helps

Yuk, that is horrible, moose kissing is one thing but snogging a wildebeest? how gross!

No-one in England kisses cats as cats are far too cool and collected in indulge in anything so sordid as that.

The reason they keep on beating me at SEIV is just down to pure ability, mine being non-existent and theirs being paramount - believe me, until you have had one of your warp points breached by a swarm of whiskas class light cruisers and purina trout'n'salmon nibble class battlecruisers, you dont know what fear really is!

UGH, I'm in similiar boat as PhoenixD, my hard drive on my home computer crashed Last night, I hope to get a new one sometime this week, a friend has a small spare one so I will try and get that installed next day or so, So I won't be on forum very much until then.

The only good part of this whole mess is that it frees my time up from GOLD to contemplate and research "Moose & Gnu Kissing" and into the unknown but much researched area of "Do cats really purr when they are happy or is this just a myth"...

just some ideas a frusterated helmeted Mac
