Skandal, check your PM, I sent you a race file a few days ago there. Should I email it instead?

Thanks

it seems that one of the players (Axel) sent his race to other player (Centaurian) via PM (luckily also without password as i see).
furthermore i have some problem with your nicknames and identification. please, keep some order, cause i'm getting lost.

again, as Coyote wrote:

Deal

send me your races via e-mail -> don_skotarro at poczta dot onet dot pl with password

dexy ?

Dexy/Axel are the same entity as indicated by the PM they sent me.

They/it/he/she can rest assured I haven't looked at their race file.

Also, when I went to delete the PM I discovered that the attachment had disappeared after forwarding. I couldn't look at it now even if I wanted to Smile

Hello. I am Axel/Dexy.
Now I have sent the race file to the e-mail mentioned above, with password, so everything should be in order again. Sorry for the confusion, I must have been really tired when I did send that race file...

Quote:

Game settings are as follows:
� 12 - 16 players
� Small Universe, Packed, Then stretched to a Large (average 15 planet draw per player at start)

Won't 10 players really mess up the planet count? Can you change the star count if we are playing with less players? Start with say a medium sparse? or a small dense?

with Mac we have 11 players. IMO the difference isn't significant. but initiator of this game should decide. i'm just a simple caretaker Wink

The difference in players/stars/10kly^2 sectors:
11....>21.81.....23.27
12......20..........21.33
13....>18.46.....19.46
14....>17.14.....18.28
16......15..........16

Depends how you look at your whole game strategy.
Pretty much comes down to just an extra year to ramp ramp your economy or travel time (with the last jump at the next highest warp) before my invasion fleet reaches your homeworld Twisted Evil

After some thought, I've changed my race design a bit. Skandal, please use the race file I just sent today - the one with more installations buildable. Smirk

I would like to join, and with the massive amount of posts/changes...

It looks like I have until Sunday night to send a race (if a place is available).

Should I do the effort to make a race and join? Or are all spots taken (seems 10 are confirmed if I read the latest posts correctly)?

Thanks!

We could use another player. Come on in! The water is bitter.
If you want to do some *quick* testing, grab stretch
create your testbed in a small packed universe according to the game settings, and at command line (in the directory with test xy file) type: stretch {testfilename.xy} 2 3

Cieply,

I have received my file from Ron, so we are starting.

Can you please update the 1st post on page 1 to include all latest changes/rules etc.? (It will make it easier on my old eyes to see there rather than search through the entire thread)

Thanks
Bretter

I am having an issue downloading the xy file from autohost. I was able to get my M file no problem, but just get gibberish on my browser when I click to download the xy file. Anyone else have this issue? Maybe the host can email me the xy file?

Thanks,
