Ron has lots of free time. That is why he started this new forum.
He hardly had anything to do on the old forum. No ranking, very little posting...
His dream came true when he switched to this new forum.

Yup , I'd love that too. Count me in...
All three works for me.

Um I'm not sure if this happens or what are there any like TEAMS around here? Where one team challenges another that sort of thing? Ranking there would be cool too.

Yeah I know everyones pointing an saying : "Hey! who's the new guy?" but I'll soon be keeping you die-hards out of work playing stars! hehe.

I'd go with fractions, since most people who play Stars! can do basic division (yes I know it takes more time but still). How does one snap a screen shot of anything in windows. Like what key is default. (I have a funky Sony keyboard) Resignation would be simple, the player submits a loss to the administration. This can be secured with, passwords? Blah, maybe just by Email names. I just know I won't be doing the work, only playing the games.

We can't divide. Our race only knows how to multiply.
Snap a screen shot? Have you tried Canon? They have a line of digital cameras. There should be a "PrtScrn" on your keyboard. If it is funky, you might have to clean it first. The PrtScrn puts the captured screen in a buffer. Now you can make/open a bitmap image or a program that handles graphics and "paste" the buffered information. If it is bitmap image save it as .JPG instead of .BMP to reduce filesize in case you want to email it as an attachment.

Good Idea. Any effect on rank based on size of game (in case two folks were dumb enough to want to go at it in a small or medium size "universe") ?

Count me in!

Ah, it works. I have to hold down the unique FN within a square key and then hit Print Screen/Sys Rq??? then right click my new paint document to open as paint(XP uses image preview thing not paint default). Need to change Windows settings .

We should have a dueling forum, one where you can be evicted for spam, like another forum only post able by people in the dueling club, kind of like a game forum. The leader could post announcements and rankings up in a topic like the admin announcements. So we send him the stuff(WINNING PICTURES) he add our ranks, maybe keeps a message up for everyone and edits it when they've played a game. (hey I'm trying to think of ways to do this on the existing forum)

Slightly possible: their should be a separately registrable(as in member register) dueling forum so not everyone can post there?

Well Jorrus that leads to a good idea. From the duelling list of players 2 could challenge another 2. Or 3, or 4, etc...

Yes Yes... me thinks I like this ... Can we get an official definition of "blitz" cause i might not be able to get enough time in , does 2 hours per day cut it as a blitz?

EDog has requested a dueling forum, and I've PM replied to him, and am waiting on his reply.

That will be taken care of by using a password to post on the forum.

That does bring up the point, if they were turns played quickly but only a couple hours every week. Like 5-10 minute turns but only for a couple hours, then both players retire to finish the game in a week or two.

Ranking will solely be based upon wins/losses. If we start tracking universe size, PRT, grooming, or any other qualities the ranking becomes impossibly complicated (or at least more so than I want to track).

And what's so dumb about a small or medium universe? A small universe works very well in a 2-person game. There's enough room to expand without needing massive micromanagement. Distances are far enough that you need to consider things like gates and fuel consumption, but close enough that you can find your opponent before eight years have passed. Would you rather duel in a Tiny universe or are you looking to blitz in a Large/Huge setting (and have no job, family, or life to look after)? Or were you just joshing us?

But I do suck.... meh.
I've been scouring for old automatic turn sending devices. Have also made myself look very stupid on the Google forums(well as soon as my posts go up ) Perhaps if a good one (fully automated) is found then we can use it as a standard (so no one has to MM all the turn stuff because someone else has no turn sender)
