Once Stone Age Slaughter IV starts, I will be playing and hosting in 3 games. I would be willing to host Stone Age Slaughter V, but not until one of the games I am currently in ends, which is about 2 months away.

I don't find this game interesting anymore with No MT. Anyone wanna host this same game but with MT?

Does this mean you are no longer playing?

Cheers,

Yes that is correct. I am looking forward to a possibility that the others who want the MT will start a different game with the MT.

*** Rules Question ***

The initial posting defines race restrictions thusly:

Race Limitations: ALL races MUST take weapons expensive and the Bleeding Edge Tech LRT. No factoryless HE. This means that the GR of the HE cannot be more than 10(20) and factories cannot be less than default. Joat cannot take NAS. There are otherwise no restrictions. Races will be verified by the third party prior to start.

What, specifically, does factories cannot be less than default mean?

Default settings are 10/10/10, whereas typical factoryless settings are 5/25/5. Would it be fair to say that provided one of the three factory settings is not less than the default, the race is acceptable?

Cheers,
Void

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Default is 10/10/10. So the first number must be 10 or higher. The 2nd number must be 10 or lower. The third number must be 10 or higher. So the settings cannot be made "worse" than the default. They of course can be improved.

That's what I figured. It means a race like an HE variant of the Altai would not be permitted.

Altai
Inner Strength
IFE, ISB, OBRM, NAS, RS
0.24 to 1.40 grav
temp immune
51 to 95 rad
1/5 overall
19% pop growth
10/25/14 factories, no G box
10/3/13 mines
Weapons and construction cheap
rest expensive and start at 3

If that's one of the kind of races you're trying to avoid, then I'll enforce the 10/10/10 limit as you describe. An alternative that would allow additional creativity is to say that the total race wizard cost of factories has to be at least that of 10/10/10, so if someone wants to pay for more operated with a higher cost to build, say 10/12/12, they could. That certainly prevents an HE from getting 300+ RW points to spend on growth rate...

Cheers,
Void

The Default only applies to a HE race.

other races can have any factory settings they want.

So I can have a -f SD if I want

Got it.

So I have seven race files and ALL conform to the rules set forth by the host. Just waiting on Cieply.

rolfverberg - Race approved
BeeKeeper - Race approved
Cieply -
jools - Race approved
Orange - Race approved
goober - Race approved

Cieply - Please send your race file to me this weekend at void211 at live dot com. If I get it in the next couple of hours I can try to gen the universe this weekend. Otherwise, it'll have to occur in the evening US west coast time.

Cheers,
Void

That is an interesting idea, but at this point I don't want to mess with any of the rules. So let's just stay with what we have.

Hi folks,

I have no further updates - still need one more race.

While we're waiting on the final race submission, you're welcome to send updates to your race design. I will use the latest valid racefile I receive. I'll also post when I start genning galaxies so you don't waste time tweaking unnecessarily.

Cheers,
Void

Must be an email issue. Let me PM you so you can give me your email address. Perhaps that will work!

Got it! My SPAM filter was catching it and I didn't think to look there (d'oh!). Your race is valid.

So I've got all of the race files and will start trying to get a good galaxy this evening. If you have any updates to your race files, please get them to my by 3am GMT on Tuesday, August 23.

I'll keep you apprised of my progress.

Cheers,
Void.

No luck finding a decent universe tonight. I'm all for randomness, but so far there's always someone who draws a very short straw. I'll try again tomorrow night!

Fair question. It's going to be the weekend before I make more headway on this. I will commit to having an acceptable universe generated on Saturday, and I'll send each of you your .m and the .xy file and get all the files over to Ron.

So there's an opportunity to send in tweaks. I'll start at 6am PST on Saturday. Any race file updates I receive before then will be incorporated.

Cheers,
Void
