I just received an email from EDog:

Hi Dan,



I've had a specific request (I'll bet you can't guess from who) for your team that if you have one player handling more than one race you find a replacement player to cover the extra race. He feels this gives you an unfair advantage over us. Personally, I don't give a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys what you do, but at least this way I can say I made the effort. If you don't get a replacement player, you might consider uploading the turns separately so he'll at least stop bitching.



EDog


Any thoughts or comments? Anyone know anyone who would be interested in joining our shorthanded team? If not, I guess we should at least staggar the uploads like EDog suggests.

Dan

I assume we're looking for a replacement for Pepin here, right? Not the Atreides, since he's planning on coming back?

Ok, I've got someone. He's actually an excellent player. He taught me everything I know about Stars. He's cringed after looking at the race, but he's up for the challenge. Please contact Dom at dhumphrey@ea.com. He'll need to be set up with forum access, and the upload password if it hasn't been posted already.
Also, he'll need the up to date history file, Joseph.
Thanks!
Alan.

Actually - He can have the Shades permanently - but because they're a rather ####ty race - their main function will be scouting and cloaking other player's fleets - he might as well take over for the Atreides as well - until either of them return.

What do you think?

As soon as I get his forum name, grant him access in here, and then get a response from him, I'll email EDog and have him update the new turn notification(s) and the game page on autohost.

Hello all Smile

I've started submitting turns for the Shades so please don't overwrite them. Do you want me to take over the Atreides as well till whomever was playing them comes back -- currently I'll assume you don't but let me know either way so I don't blow away anyone elses upload.

According to what I've read, my goal with this, um, 'uniquely designed' Rolling Eyes race is to scout, cause panic and fear, and be used for supporting ships (overcloakers where necessary, our-space anti-scout interceptors, etc...). Do we know if they have an IS? If not, this race may actually be somewhat fun...

PS: I'll be teching in Electronics once this race's economy gets going (ROFLMAO man I kill me some times).

PPS: Any requests for anything in the interim?

PPPS: Tip of the day: Mine sweeping is done in player order, and within that, fleet id order. If our mine-layer friend starts trying to lay mind-numbingly large fields, make sure that you sort your fleets in id order with the lowest id being farthest away from him. Starbases always sweep after fleets in planet id order (left to right).

Very Happy

I don't suppose someone can ask the game host to change the email address of the Shades to dhumphrey@ea.com could they?

Done!

(I copied you on the email.)

Thanks a bunch for taking over! And I know I'm open for any other tips you might have. We can all send you our .h files if you want a complete history of what's going on - all of our in game passwords are the same.

Out of curiosity, when is the original owner of the Atreides back?
