thanks for the insight craebild, i've recieved one race from Dayng1 and as such there is 3 slots open.

With Craebild's suggestions I've also updated the profile and it now contains my location,

if it doesnt then you'll find I'm from sunny South Wales, UK

Room for one more? I have been watching this thread for a while but have been unwilling to take on another game. But since will have no AccBBS I think by the time things really heat up at least one of my other games will be ending so if there is room Im in.

maybe your race name will be "The Rangers" Laughing

The Obly: How many players are we having in this game and what size did you finally decide on?

Ive decided due to the amount of interest that 6 Players in a Medium Dense and distant positions none of the last mentioned variables have changed.

As of the moment I've recieved races from: Combat and DaYnG1 so theres 3 players left to fill.

Also an issue with a 3rd party checker has been raised I hope Craebild still offers his expertise...

Yes, I can check the races - Though there isn't much to check when there are no restrictions.

If you set Autohost to automatically send a copy of the .m# files to me, then I can also keep a backup of those file, and maintain up to date .h# files in case a replacement has to be found or a player looses the game files.

If I receive the .m# files as above, then it will only take me a few minutes per turn to also prepare the files needed to make an animation of the spread and decline of the races for release after the game is finished.

once you generate the game, you zip the files and send an email to Ron with the player number, name, email & race name. He'll set up the game for you and send an email to all players when it is up on Autohost. In the meantime, you can send each of us the xy and m file so we can await Autohost with some kind of idea where we will be... or not, some hosts just wait for Ron to set it up and download the xy and m files there Nod

it depends on how busy Ron is on how long it takes him to set up the game. He's usually pretty good Wink but don't expect a 12 hour turnaround unless he's really bored Rolling Eyes i 'spect a couple of days is about the norm...

You are waiting for the turns (.x files?) to come back in? You should zip and send the first .m files, the .hst file and .xy file to Ron. He'll create the game page and after that players can upload their .x files there.

I have agreed to keep backups of all player files in case of non responsive dropouts, and to arbitrate in case of disputes.

The Obly has already sent me the .m# files for the first turn, as well as the .xy file, but I will also need the race passwords for all races, and preferably also the names and e-mail addresses of all players. You can send the information by e-mail or PM, you can use the buttons above this message.

From The Obly, I would also prefer to have the host logon and password in case he drops out, but as long as The Obly does not drop out, it is sufficient that he sets Autohost to automatically e-mail me all turn files.

I will probably also be building an animation of the game progress from the scan data of all races, but that animation will of course only be available after the game, and only if the player agree. There will not be any legend to say which race is which unless all players agree to that, and the anumation will not be publicly available unless all players agree to that.

I do not have any sample animation I can use to show what such an animation will look like, as I have only relatively recently acquired a program that can easily make such an animation at a reasonable file size, but All Quiet II might end before this game, and the animation from All Quiet II might be made publicly available, which would give an example before the players in this game have to decide.
