And next time, that would be a good idea. Take 5 players...each starts a different faction and passes the savegame to the next player. So 5 games are going at once, and you are recieving your turns pretty quickly. I've had that idea too, but the only problem ...

That's EXACTLY what I mean. I do understand about turns stacking up, tho your present game seems to have moved pretty well. I was thinking about future games. It would seem that you would get an (sort of) instant education in the various differences among the factions.

/edit
This would really help those of us who are a little bit challenged by the upper levels of the game. Be nice to see what others think is/are the proper courses to take.

I don't know if I said it before, but I'll say it again. Set up the game in the MP threads and you'll probably get some takers. Just make sure to outline EXACTLY what you mean (howls with laughter). I'd love to help/play but I'm a bit busy recently so had better decline. If you have any questions about setting it up, email me at Rmontalbon@aol.com (why do I have an AOL account? Grrrr...long story)

Hi you lot!

I'm posting this from an internet cafe in Greece! I'm stying in Sidari in Corfu! Well, just thought to say hi and bye (going out)!

Avenoct · August 17, 2001, 17:34

Hey from the colonies, I mean, states, Cybergod!

If anyone wants to just play the last turn so we can get this game moving, go ahead and then post your turn here.

wait... isn't it SITS's turn? cybergod posted the turn on page 2. hey, can anyone yell really loud such that SITS can hear? i'll try...

SITS! PLAY THE TURN!

SITS · August 17, 2001, 19:46

Hush! If the turn isn't sent to me then I don't know to play it. I'll download it from the thread and do it tomorrow...

Avenoct · August 18, 2001, 10:36

Wow TKG, that worked! SITS is up!

Method · August 18, 2001, 12:33

aha! i see you heard me.

SITS · August 20, 2001, 19:42

Sorry. I've not had much time. I've played until the end of '55. We have just got MMI so lots of Copter's need to be built. We are slowly swallowing Yang up, it's all pretty easy at the moment and the choppers won't make it harder.

Anyways - not sure who to send the turn so I'll post it here to the thread. Hopefully you won't need to shout them!

Avenoct · August 20, 2001, 22:09

That would be me! I'll attach the turn as soon as I play it.

Edit [About halfway through this 5 year turn. I'm setting up the next game in the MP threads..head over there if you're 'In'. And vote for either proposal.]

And Here's 2260. We are rolling out SP's and Choppers and enjoying our Shard weapons. We just got Clean Reactors, but await 'Super' formers for an across the board upgrade session.

The turn.

Method · August 24, 2001, 13:27

well i didn't write it down this time and i played it yesterday and today, so i don't remeber everything that happened, but i guess thats too bad

we are pumping out mass quantities of shard choppers and yang is down to 4 bases 2 of which are de-garrisoned. we got the cyborg factory, and we got a large amount of techs. i got adv eco eng from an AA and then retro engineering and biomac's and on to homo superior. started clone vats and univ translate. currently researching cent genetics. morgan has taken all but 1 of zak's bases. i put a mindworm in it so morgan can't take the base because in 2 turns zak will get applied relativity and we can take it from him.

BTW who gave zakharov shards? now morgan has them!

Avenoct · August 24, 2001, 15:07

That would be me on the Shards tech.

The three things I seem to do very differently than the rest of you lot:

1. use submissives as tech-engines
-this means giving them techs, bases, anything to speed up their assistence.

2. build massive amounts of crawlers and formers, especially when in the lead.

3. avoid seaforming adjoining my continent...instead, raise the land of the continent.

BTW, the second game, with the Peacemakers, is about to start over on the MP threads. If you'd like to sign up, go for it. If we get more than 6 players I'll CMN (whatever the hey that stands for) a second game and get it set up. IE, there would be 4 players first game, 3 second game.

Happy Crawlering,

I'm back!

I've now got a beautiful suntan (instead of the stupid northern white colour).

Erm, where's the game?

Avenoct · August 25, 2001, 11:06

Welcome back Cybergod,

TKG has played the turn and probably will post today. I think you are next. If you'd like to see the game recently...try the download above...talk about ICS!

-Smack

Method · August 27, 2001, 16:46

oh sorry, i thought i posted the turn. here it is now

Method · September 5, 2001, 18:56

well it says that the turn has been downloaded 4 times... maybe i should try yelling really loud again. perhaps later...

just one more thing. these new smilies (

) don't make sense. the first one: why is he happy to be in jail? and the second one it's like he's saying: "ha ha ha! i'm in jail and you're not! na na na na na"

Cybergod · September 6, 2001, 13:36

Can I be skipped please? I've been playing with Smak's mod recently and I keep having these Terran.exe crashes, which are unstoppable whenever I run a multiplayer game no matter what I do. It would take me a while to restore the program so, can someone else play the turn? Please?
