We need a replacement player for this game. This is a team game and a no communication game, so I don't know any details about how this race is sitting. If interested, I will get you in touch with your partner and he can fill you in on the details.

Thanks,
David

I cannot maintain the current pace of the game for another two months due to real life. My race is currently in 1st place with 1 ally. Also at war with 2 other players and taking quite a pounding. Race is HE and very MM intensive so make sure you have plenty of free time.

Greetings.

Long hiatus because of a bug hunt combined with a player dropping out resulted in a very long time without any of us sending turns. I think it been well over 3 weeks that I didn't even open a single STARS! turn because of this and unfortunately for me something came up IRL and is taking all the time I would normally have to play this game.

I tried to find time but ended up missing the last two turns. This is unacceptable and I am thus forced to conclude that I cannot continue playing and need to find a replacement.

Game: Stone Age Slog
Player #12: The Metropolitans
Situation: This race is well established and is in position to do about anything right now. A good alliance and good neighbors plus nice starting position near the border place the race territory in a safe haven. Great possibility for research late game with forced BET for every player placing research and tech exchange at a premium.
Files: I have every single turn since day one (except maybe one or two times I skipped a turn) backed up on my HD, plus a Notebook file listing all the important info I gathered so far. Great map on the Notebook files, covering almost the complete universe.



Please contact me ASAP if you are interested. This game have been placed on hold for too long already and I'd hate to have to hold it again.

I have version 2.20.

The "Colony" section doesn't properly handle the situation in which a colony's resources are insufficient to produce 1 factory/turn and there isn't much G on the surface.

The issue is that it deducts the current "amount of factories completed this turn" from the Germanium stocks, but said "amount of factories completed this turn" has the full fraction of the current factory, ignoring the fact that parts of that factory may have been completed on previous turns. This falsely bleeds off "G on surface".

It also drops the current factory if G becomes insufficient due to the aforementioned bug, which then bleeds off resources.

I believe this would also bleed off G and resources on larger planets, but the results are nowhere near as striking.

Hi all,

Slowpokes, the race in Altum Silentium, need a temporary replacement player for a month since 17 Oct. The race is in good, playable condition expanding its territory.

The game is at late stage, in the year 2499.

We are generating 3 turns per week. However, I can agree on slowing down to 2 turns.

Please contact me here, by private messaging or at iojho (at) aim (dot) com.

Hello I've booked an impulse trip to Portugal this week and would like to see if anyone could stand in for a couple of turns. I'll be playing my turn Wednesday but then won't be able to play till Sunday. There are no gens over the weekend so I just need someone to play my Thursday and Friday turns.

Let me know if you can help out, its still early stages of the game so shouldn't be too much hard work Smile

Inspired by the Galactic Civilisations II Dread Lords and the "AI passwords" thread. I'm not entirely sure whether this is possible.

Here's the idea.

You set up a normal game in probably a large universe. Have a lot of players, possibly (if someone (like me) had an addiction to roleplaying) flavored to fit the GalCiv 2 races. The game would be fairly normal for the first 30 years or so.

Then another player starts off their race.

Except that instead of a normal race, they get the Expert Macinti race, an AR with 1 in 2 hab, 20% growth, all positive LRTs, 10 res divisor, and 4 cheap techs. These are the "Dread Lords".

Everyone else then faces a problem, in that they have to stop the Dread Lords from becoming invincible and wtfpwning everyone, while at the same time having to worry about their power relative to the other races and not dooming themselves while saving the galaxy.

Victory conditions would be the standard ones.

Who likes the idea? Very Happy

I'm on vacation March 28th to April 4th, and then again April 9th to April 25th.

I'm in last place and at war with one of the leaders, but a rescent succesful campaign vs. the leader's ally renders my race still playable and able to kick back. The map lay-out is such that there should lots of potential of striking out and fighting back.

Someone please step forward, or the leader will have it much too easy.

Hi all!

Due to real life constraints one of the players in LSD has to drop out.

Game year is 2553, 10 out of the original 16 races are still fighting hard.

The race in question is in a good position. Players interested should contact me and I will send their offer on to the ally of the race to be ruled. They can then get more information from the ally.

Please write to michael *** auwers +++ de

Replace by @ and . respectively.

Hello. I have found Stars! yet again after another leave of absence. To all of you that have helped keep this great game and extras around, thank you!

So, I have been surfing every Stars! site that I can find, mostly now non-functioning, and trying to complete my collection of files, and find an answer to my little problem:

I am trying to use StarEd V1.2 to MOD my Stars! game. I have Stars!2.6jrc3 and Stars!2.7jrc3. The problem is that when I try to save any MODded 2.6/2.7jrc3, StarEd locks up my laptop. The only thing that will work is my CAPs Lock light...I can't even get my Task Manager to come up. After waiting for a while, I have to turn off the laptop and turn it back on to continue.

I am running Microsoft Windows XP Professional V5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600.

Can anyone help shed some light on this? I would really like to change a few things and try out a different form of play.

Thank you,
Malachi E Zo

I wrote this response without realising that the original was in a private forum for which I have no PW so I stuck it here.

as far as your "Joined and planned actions against another player are NOT ok except you do it together with your ally" rule, its got a really gapping hole in it. what if I ally with player #3 in 2420 and we agree to attack player #4 together. it takes time to build ships and cross space, so by 2430 when I have legally chosen to ally with player #2 (because 10 years have passed) and stick it to that vile pile of rottenness player #4 I will have player #3 potentially still attacking player #4 in a coordinated manner with me. I didn't break any rules to get to this point, nor has my former ally.


AFAIK you are not REQUIRED to change allies every 10 years so the rule actually supports your case - i.e. an alliance must last at least 10 years whereas, w/o that rule, an alliance can change as often as you like.

Naturally, if an intended ally wants a really short alliance you should expect that he's up to a bit of no good & make your decisions accordingly. Otherwise, the allies would normally agree a period that suits the purpose.

Since a player can have only one ally at a time in this game I expect that alliances will be reasonably long since chopping & changing alliances disrupts development quite a bit (& for that reason it's important that you choose your ally wisely).

So it with heavy heart I'm selling my copy of Stars! Last time I played was so long ago and decided to sell it off. I was anxiously awaiting Supernova Genesis and part of me died when I heard it wasn't coming out. I even made the Cabbage with my description of the Media Mogul personality trait thanks to Kurt. But that is old news. Good to see there are still people playing.

I've put it up on Ebay for those interested. Everything is there but the box.

Airny is moving to a new town & needs a replacement for 2 weeks from Aug 26.

This is a beginner game so a beginner would be preferable but please apply if you consider yourself a lower intermediate.

All race designs were checked to ensure that they were not broken when the game started & each player has a more experienced mentor.

The year is currently 2430 but will probably be 2432-35 when you take over.

My email address is mcdonaldjk at bigpond dot com - I can then put you in touch with Airny.

I also have all turn files & .h file.

Here is a thread for those who are interested in how stars has changed. I have been living in the past with my shareware 2.0 version until the other day, so I can tell you all the changes that have been made, or if you too are a version 2.0 veteran, you may join me in the reminiscing of days gone by...

To begin with, for those who have not seen the original - did you know there used to be a weapon which damaged ships in a radius around the target?
