Hi all!
I'm sorry, but that might not work. I have a few players definitely interested who came to the game by private invitation. They might not be reading this thread.
I'd prefer the players to all send their races to me
michael squiggly thing auwers round spot de
I'll collect the races and send them off to Xardre as soon as we are complete. That also saves him the pain of prodding the laggards. Please send an email to Xardre with the following information:
player's first name, email address, and race name. Please use the following format for easy data entry:
Ron,email@address.goes.here,The Swords
(no spaces except in the race-name, please!)
Add the race password in a separate line.
That will make setting up the game for Xardre a lot easier.
If you have sent Xardre a race file already, please send a copy to me as well so I can see who is missing.
Regards,
AE

@ swp1
Bugs never return if you stamp on them properly.

@ swp1 and Joseph!
I'm sorry, I don't know if I can still fit you in. There are more than 16 players already interested.
However, I've just sent a mail to them asking if they would be willing for me to host two games with identical settings. If nobody insists on playing in a large universe, you'll have a chance to play in one of the two games.
Regards,
AE

swp1 wrote on Sun, 24 May 2009 17:23 | ok, so I haven't been following the threads here and I am in this game. I also don't have a lot of time to decipher everything that was written.
who are we actually sending files to? multiple people?
when are they due?
are the race restrictions still the same?
will the undead cry out for something other than brains this time?
will the bugs return?

Hmmm...
I'm in a good mood. Normally, I'd tell you that if you haven't got the time to read the thread, I haven't got the time to write a digest for you.
However, if we decide to play two games, then I will ask you to send the passworded file to me (without the PW) and then we can take it from there.
Regards,
AE

Hi Mark!
Quote: |
I was just checking using leftover race-wizard points for surface minerals. The help files says for each one (up to 50) you get an extra 10kt of minerals weighted towards the rarest ones.
I generated a testbed using the same seed with 2 variant race files, one with 50 RW points left and one with 0.
The homeworld had concentrations 30/95/30.
0 points gave 331/303/536 minerals.
50 points gave 456/553/661 minerals.
That's +125/+250/+125 bonus.
Another seed gave homeworld concentrations 53/30/85.
0 points gave 251/381/1046 minerals.
50 points gave 501/506/1171 minerals.
That's +250/+125/+125 bonus.
Looks like for every RW point left, you get 5kt for the lowest mineral and 2.5kt for each of the other 2.

You do realise that you do not have this option under my settings? The left-over points have to be used for defenses.

AE

Hi Joseph!
A point well made. I did not say precisely what I meant.
The mandatory points (100 for JoaT, 200 for CA) have to be set to defenses.
However, if one choses to leave points over in the race wizard voluntarily for any other race, these may be set to what ever one wants.
I think this is the right way to handle this, as one pays for the benefit of those points by not being able to spend them elsewhere.
Thanks for noticing.
Regards,
AE

Hi Joseph!
I tried contacting you by email and PM, but no reply so far. Are you still interested? If so, please send me a file asap.

Hi Mark,
I did mention that in one of the mails to all players. THis is allowed, as is chaff and split fleets. All other exploits are banned. There will be an updated and explicit list of all the rules of this game as soon as it is up on SAH.

AE

got the files, can't help but notice that the game is not listed in the minefield. for those that care, I am player #8. just so you know who you are laughing at when you take your turns.

Hi!
It will only appear on SAH when Ron has set the game up. You will then get a mail giving you the details and your upload password.
