Yeah, I was going to mention that as well. Now I'm OK with that because I've got my turn in Twisted Evil

You might want to put the game on hold until after the designated gen time for this one turn.

So far everything looks good for me and my teammates.

What kind of problems do you exactly mean in "the Problem with the corrupted H-File"? Does it makes sense to simply delete and create new h file by Save & Submit?

PS: Sorry if I'm asking too much.

Just wondering are you able to address the issue? Or it's still the problem?

You can use email, messenger, or in game message for allies.. All other contact out side of your 3 man alliance is forbidden to talk share anything about the game. Just a little reminder..

Hmmm ... just noticed that in game announcement there was "May only share tech, intel, and trade with members of own team." My fault, and no problem I'm ok with that, but I'm wondering how can you verify that? What if I'll send private message using SAH to someone from the another alliance (and they will keep this in secret) - how can you prove that and how can you prove that I'm not doing this? Where is the difference beetwen propaganda and intel trade? What if I send in-game message to everyone saying somthing like "Hi people of the universe, I just noticed huge fleet of playerX moving from planetA to planetB"? Will this be treaten as intel trading or not? Rolling Eyes

PS: Just my 5 cents. Embarassed

Well I'm pretty sure i cant check your messages. Im sure if you did get caught or someone ratted you out because you were sending info you would be disqualified.. Not to mention anyone having to cheat in any way is just sad, pathetic, weak sauce, and has no honor why win in such a manner.
Well saying hello in game message i believe is ok.. but saying there's someones fleet moving from point a to point b would be sharing intel and you would be disqualified. Saying anything to do with fleets, movements, players, planets and everything else that has game info in it is info..

I'm not going to cheat in any way (I guess I'm too old to cheat Cool

) and I hate cheaters as well. My point is that forbidding communication in any way is almost impossible and IMHO is not a good idea. What about of "freedom of speech"? Razz

PS: What if I'll send something like that: "My peacefull peoples were attacked by rough playerX"?

Deuce, you don't seems will be able to do your propaganda. Very Happy

Yeah, I think we should have a better definition of what "intel" consists of, rather than simply information. Would telling another team to "back off of (planet) or we'll smash you" count as intel? It does indicate that (planet) is important for some reason. For that matter we can even share information unknowingly by means of our ship design names, unless we name them all "Ship".
