Title: Last Man Standing
Post by: t_ras on October 31, 2012, 10:55:52 AM
Quote
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger

Do you got what it takes to be the last man standing?


Last man staning each game - 5 points
One of the last two - 3 points
Not the first one to be eliminated - 1 point

You are placed each in one of the four cornes of the map the center is the fight ring.
You shuold eliminate all your oponenets, the winner is the one with the most points at the end of the two games (we'll we have here a 10 pointer?).
Normal PBEM rules (I asume you now them)
Player not active for 5 days will be replaced by AI.
This thread will be used for both games, all turns must be posted here (though they can be also sent by mail to make it faster).
You all have all the commlinks - you may use them.

Please inform any elimnation!

I think Morgan will be the player 4 save on LMS 1, and the player 2 save on LMS 2.  Since neither have been posted yet, there is nothing for Morgan to do yet.

May be it should, but for some reason I got this order and I fail to change the slots. The only way would have made a mess with colors.

1. First you download the save
2. Launch Alpha Centauri
3. Select Multiplayer
4. Select Load Save
5. Navigate to the directory where you have your save, and select the save
6. It should show you your faction and ask for your password -> if it does not show your faction, it is not your turn yet
7. If you crash when trying to open the save, post here so that we can troubleshout

Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: sisko on November 02, 2012, 11:23:13 AM
that's because you have to choose 'hotseat/play by email' first:
Quote from: sisko on June 07, 2011, 07:59:54 AM
How to play-by-email?
1. Launch SMAC / SMAX.
2. Choose Multiplayer.
3. Choose hotseat/play by email.
4. Choose Load Multiplayer Game.
5. Load in the game you received via email or downloaded from the TTT (turn tracking thread).
6. Put in your password.
7. Play your turn.
8. Press "Turn complete".
9. Choose "Save and exit".
10. Create a new file. The file name should include an abbreviation for the game, the year and the next player. This helps avoid confusion, e.g. Ladder game #1_to_sisko_2125.SAV.
11. Email the turn to the next player.
12. Post in the TTT, e.g. "2125 to sisko" feel free to say anything else you want but please indicate the year and where it went.
13. Have fun.

@t_ras: i think it will be better to split the TTTs of the 3 games. right now, we don't know if someone else besides Rainbow Lizard needs any help.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Rainbow Lizard on November 04, 2012, 10:33:59 AM
I think you should just continue without me. My multiplayer menu only has 3 options, and I think my version must be outdated. I'll see if I can find the latest version soon, but right now, I'm just not helping anyone.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: t_ras on November 04, 2012, 12:54:32 PM
Im sopossed to turn you to AI if you dont respond in 5 days. I'll take it as if 2 days had pass, you have 3 more.
I'm sure every one else would rather wait those 3 days and have another player than an AI.

gog.com  has a weekend special where they are selling SMAC digital download for $2.39.  This is a cheap way to legally get the latest version.

Lizard, you need to install the scientIffic patch.

The first attachment below is from an install I have of the original release of SMAC.

The second is same, (I think) but patched.  We have the patch in Downloads.  :whip:

Post by: t_ras on November 08, 2012, 08:17:58 AM
OK, Here we go again  :danc:
Now its tow maps in wich you all play (as I intended from the beggining).
The fist map is the one you've seen, oriented for lan confrontation. The second one is oriented for marine confrontation.
THe order of the players is the same in both games so you'll be passing two turn each time.
Enjoy!

PS: notice in the second game you have a transport ship to use for creating ships, but you do not have DF, so if you loose it you'll have to wait till you reach it.

Wait a minute guys, something's wrong here. Earthmichael, are you sure that you don't have other players' comms at the beginning of each game you're in? Because that's the default. The relevant line in alphax.txt, in the first set of general rules, is:

1,       ; If non-zero, humans can always contact each other in hotseat/email games

The value is 1 in vanilla game. Hence, I can always see other players' profiles as if we met, I just can't contact them. I've never heard of any rule which requires any changes to alphax.txt. In fact, the first rule in the rules topic is that we can't contact before meeting, which would be kinda redundant if the above value was 0 by default. EM, can you change your alphax, please? Can someone else confirm what I'm saying?

One time I even asked in a different thread if it's ok to check other players' available info i.e. population, HQ name and SE settings and I was told it's perfectly fine (it's not banned by the rules, mind you).
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Earthmichael on January 31, 2013, 09:47:52 PM
I just wanted to make sure to be on the safe side.  I have seen games where the scenario rules prohibit comms until the factions have made contact.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Kirov on January 31, 2013, 10:12:14 PM
All right, sorry, for a moment I thought we are used to different sets of rules or something. Yes, the permit to use commlinks right away is there in the first post, I guess nobody noticed it.  :P At least nobody contacted me. :) Good you mentioned that.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Kirov on January 31, 2013, 11:02:30 PM
Actually, that rule is bad news for me. I love diplomacy and role-playing stuff, but these days I just can't afford to engage in diplo with the same 3 players in 2 different games.  ??? I hoped I'd just kind of push the early turns until I deal with RL stuff.

Usually I spend a lot of time writing in-game messages and ornamenting them with RP, but this time sorry if I come across as taciturn. I'm open for deals, just don't have time to make it fancy.  :(

I think i know what happened in LMS 1.

I stepped over a pod, creating the worst earthquake i have never seen before.  Now we have an scenario very much like LMS 2.

We have 3 options as i see it:


What do you think? I personally prefer the second option, going for the third if it has strong opposition.

I use the scient patch for this game. What's with that earthquake? I've never heard about a sea-rising pod event. Do you guys have any experience of such kind? LDH, please keep this turn, maybe I'd like to replay it after the game.

Hello guys, I have two questions:

1) How come that our CEO JarWolf doesn't have Industrial Base tech in both games? Am I missing something? I'm quite sure I started with my Doc:Mob as expected.

2) What difficulty level are we on? In one game I have a 2pop base but no drone yet. Are we sure it's transcend? The first porst doesn't say anything.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: t_ras on February 14, 2013, 02:41:22 PM
It should be tracsend. I"M playing CEO and didnt even check the tech. I will now...
Also - you are missing LMS1

Sorry, fixed. So what was the situation? You started with no tech or some different?

Can someone take a look at their 2pop base to see for the drone?

This is not that a big problem - please just don't switch to FM before you finish IB and I think we're good here. The worse thing is that in the second game I have size 2 base and no drone yet (2 unmodified workers). If this goes for everyone else, that's fine, but if it's only me at Librarian - sigh, I think it'd be best for you if you all surrendered. :)
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Earthmichael on February 18, 2013, 04:22:18 PM
Well I can attest that in both games, I only get one free drone.  I am not sure if any modification is possible once the game is started.

I am open to tech trades in both games if anyone is interested.  I would particularly like to trade for Centauri Ecology, Social Psych, or Biogenetics.  Msg me if interested.

Post by: Kirov on February 18, 2013, 04:48:50 PM
EM, does it come maybe from the fact that you play Zak? I haven't played him for years so when do his extra drones kick in, right away or at pop 4?

I'm quite sure the game cannot be modified in any way once started. t_ras, what price do you have to pay for FM? Please check both games. Can anyone else see his SE choices for the cost? I cannot do so yet, I'm afraid.

Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Earthmichael on February 18, 2013, 06:15:13 PM
Zak's first extra drone kicks in at pop 4.

My society changes cost 40.

Post by: Kirov on February 18, 2013, 06:35:45 PM
OK, is there any other explanation for Santiago having two free workers, before Police is applied? I can't think of any, but maybe I'm missing something?
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Earthmichael on February 18, 2013, 06:50:16 PM
No, there is no explanation other than difficulty level.

Even if you had a SP helping, it would be applied later.  The first line would still show a drone as the second citizen.

Now if it were the Free Drones, that is normal for them as a faction bonus.  So either the Free Drone faction bonus got somehow applied to the Spartans, or the Spartans are set to a lower difficulty level.

Society cost would show this for sure.

It looks so. It happens that a CMN forgets to 'force the current difficulty' on. I don't remember if it makes only one player play Transcend or maybe all but one, but either way such defect is unplayable.

I can wait for SE to make sure but unfortunately poor Spartans are not so big on research and it will take me some time to grab SE. But I've checked twice that I have two workers.

Can we contact the CMN for this game? Maybe he has the file from before he entered the passwords, that should shed some light. But everything suggests that we need to replay. Does everyone agree? The settings looked cool, I'm certainly in.

Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Kirov on February 19, 2013, 02:52:31 AM
LOL, I forgot that t_ras said he had created the game just several posts above. t_ras, you definitely need a post-it note on your monitor: 'Did I force the difficulty level today?' ;)

I wonder if both games are affected. I have no means to check the first one.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Earthmichael on February 19, 2013, 04:00:23 AM
I could give everyone some techs to change society, so that they can see if they are transcendent, and then we can just go back to the original save.  Does that work for everyone?  If so, I will create some saves doing just that.

If we have to restart, would anyone object if we switched to SMACX?  Do all of the players have SMACX?  (It is included in the GOG release.)

T_ras, would SMACX mess up your scenario?

This is my only SMAC game, and I end up forgetting and running SMACX and crashing each time.  Also, I don't really want to try remember the differences in the tech charts and such.

Good idea, let's do that. Please send it to me in both games, I'd like to be on the safe side.

I believe the map file should work, the scenario file not so. I also prefer SMAX slightly more, but it's not a big deal for me.

I was more concerned about playing two games with the same players at once. Imagine that you need to send two messages at the same moment to another player, one saying 'thank you for our recent trade' in the first game, and 'I hope you get genital herpes, traitor' in the second one...
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Earthmichael on February 19, 2013, 09:56:34 PM
Here are the test files where I have gifted Planetary Networks and Industrial Automation to all of the other players.

Just accept the offer, then go to the society screen, and see how much it costs for a single society change.  For me, it is 40 EC, which I believe indicates playing at transcend level.  Please report if your society change cost is different than 40 EC.

Each will have to play the turn (really, just hit end turn after checking society) and pass it to the next player so that each player can check.  Since we are not going to continue from these saves, you don't really need to do anything on your turn.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: t_ras on February 23, 2013, 09:25:33 PM
It costs 24 for me, so it seems EM is the only one with tracend (which actually would be fair play ;) ). I probably forgot to force it.
Regarding SMAC, since the one asking for it left the game and I replaced JarlWolf, Id be more then hapy to restart as SMAX. Morgan is a hard one for me...
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Earthmichael on February 23, 2013, 10:56:08 PM
If we restart, you can change factions if you like.  I agree that Morgan would be hard to play with this kind of game, not exactly a real builders game.  If anyone else wants a faction change, perhaps they can chime in too.

Is the intent for everyone to be playing on trancend?

Title: Re: Last Man Standing

So I guees we reload. t_ras, is it the same for both games?

I agree Morgans are handicapped on this map. Feel free to change your pick. I didn't want to play Santiago at first, but now I want to see how it rolls.

Since we have Gaians onboard, please pay extra attention to the amount of fungus at Sir Dragon Hat's starting location. Too little and he'll replace Morgan as a target practice, too much and he's bound to be the last man standing.

EDIT: a minor thing.

Green1, seems like a standard thing in multiplayer and scenario games, where your current turn takes the last used '.ini' file instead of creating a new one. You may want to use Iniswap, a very useful tool by Mart. You make a proper 'ini', add it to the list created in this program and from then on you launch SMAX via Iniswap, selecting the ini file you want.

Guys, the first one I reloaded 'cause I forgot the password (I mean I used the old one).

However, I need to ask you to allow me to replay my second game. I popped a pod just 2 tiles away from my 2nd base and I got a message that there are "tidal waves bla bla Sparta Command has been swept away"! I lost my HQ and the entire patch of jungle I had around. I swear I've never lost a base due to a pod and I didn't even know that's possible. I want someone to take a look at it (after my turn), but I also need to reload if I'm not to give up in like 10 turns (HQ and jungle down, I mean come on). So I'm asking you to be understanding, I know it's supposed to be random and all, but I've just suffered what amounts to that infamous meteor strike random event there is (I've never experienced it first-hand), and at this point of the game... :( Poor me.

I have seen the meteor event, but never this early. That would be almost like the barbarian uprising event in Civ 4 where it spawns 4 spearmen on your border when you only have a warrior and maybe an archer. A lot of folks on Civ fanatics griped about that.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Kirov on June 29, 2013, 02:30:23 AM
There are several things here which make it a weird situation I can hardly understand and just play on. First is, it was just 2 tiles away from my base and you have a decreased chance of 'bad' pops (worms and fungal blooms) this near. Second thing, I'd accept and go along with any other possible pop, including earthquakes (God I hate them), blooms, worms and the like (I play Sparta, for chrissake). But I can't possibly recover from this situation I have.

There is also another issue: I was right I've never seen this kind of flood, it's not even on the list of pod effects:

http://sidmeiersalphacentauri.wikia.com/wiki/Supply_pods (http://sidmeiersalphacentauri.wikia.com/wiki/Supply_pods)

 ??? I simply don't get it. Can we play this turn one ahead to confirm that I actually have a swimming pool for my HQ? I mean I know what I saw, but the cold facts are it couldn't happen. I curse myself for not taking any screenshots, but I was too surprised to react in a methodic way.

I checked the script.txt and no, there is no such outcome and I'm pretty sure the dialog I got was this:

#BASESUBMERGED1
#xs 440
#caption Chief Planetologist
Tidal waves near $BASENAME0! $BASENAME0 has been submerged and lost!

I have no idea how this could happen. I'd like to play one turn to see it was not a dream, but I'd be also grateful for a reload.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: t_ras on June 29, 2013, 07:28:10 AM

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I did open that turn yesterday one more again to check that pod and it worked fine, i.e. it's not corrupted in any way.

I'm still waiting for others to confirm I can replay, meanwhile I did just that and the files are attached.

Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Earthmichael on July 01, 2013, 07:15:36 PM
It is OK with me if you replay.

This is one reason I prefer to play without pods.  In the early game, if you get bad pops and your opponent gets good pops, it can put you irretrievably behind.

I saw something similar on another game, where the pod caused global rising water and wiped out much of the map!

Definitely redo!
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Kirov on July 01, 2013, 08:58:31 PM
I already did, I sort of expected you'll agree, guys. ;) Attached are proper files.

I kinda like supply pods as they can be fun (or frustrating), but I agree they randomize the game. They should be either gone or given to everyone in sufficient quantities to balance and flatten the results.

Both the effect we saw with t_ras (the flood) and the EM's global warming are not on the list of possible pop outcomes. Please next time grab the screenshots and/or keep the save, this kind of stuff should be submitted. I'd like to hear an explanation how the game applies features which shouldn't be there and if it means that there is an infinitesimally low chance of, I don't know, cornering the global energy market or inducing solar spots via pods or something like that.  ???

Will need to replay LMS1. I popped a pod and it took out half my stuff and flooded my capital! As hardcore as I am, I believe it would put me at a very unfair disadvantage to not replay.

Never seen that in SP games....

Tried to screenshot it, but unless you have MSpaint open BEFORE you open SMAX, it comes out like this on some graphics cards, particularly ones that notebooks use:

Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Kirov on July 11, 2013, 12:19:36 AM
It's certainly not a problem for me, although I wonder what the hell is wrong with this game. We need to choose if we give the pods a wide berth or allow to replay in the case of flood (and only flood). Personally I'm in favour of the latter, this flood event is simply unfair and deserves to be ignored.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Earthmichael on July 11, 2013, 02:38:00 AM
I agree to replay in case of flood.  I have been saving before every pod just to protect against getting a flood.  So far, I have not hit one, so I have had no strong reason for replay.  However, I have already popped mind worms, so I would object if someone replayed just because they hit some mind worms.

LMS is the only scenario I have played where I have seen a flood event.  I don't know if it is something special about how the scenario was made, that the pods include a flood event.  I am not familiar with scenario creation, so I am not sure whether the scenario creator has control over that or not.

As I said, I personally hate pods.  I don't like the idea of losing a game because I get Xenofungus and worms from my pods, while the other player gets AAs and monoliths.  And vice versa is just as bad.  I don't want to win because of lucky spins of pod roulette; I want to win because I played a better strategy. 

If we must have pods, I would rather have them all consistently give 40-50 EC as a finders fee (to reward exploration), and have no variation beyond that at all.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Green1 on July 11, 2013, 09:44:47 PM
As you guys know, I do A LOT of single player.

I have never seen that event in SP before. Is it some sort of bug? Never seen any game altering event like that that early, either. Just like you do not pop a pod and get 8 mindworms early game, either. One mindworm, though is not a reason to replay. It is part of the risk of popping pods. You can get Ogres, tech, and other cool things too so it balances out.

That said, it is sad, because I kind of like pods. It adds variety to the game and keeps you on your toes.

I will be keeping MSpaint open before cranking up a MP game though from here on out just to let you know I am on the up and up. Then again, I have no ego issues with having to be a bad ass. I just enjoy the mental challenge. After all, I did post an AAR with Lal where I got my butt handed to me by Miriam in a very public fashion...
Title: Re: Last Man Standing

It did happen to me once before, not that early in the game. There is nothing changed in the scenario related to this, pure bad luck I guess. Im for replay any way.
Next game I could check if I can change the config files to avoid it all together some how.

Has anyone noticed any pod patterns in the games?

I am hitting the pod lottery in LMS1, with several AAs and Monoliths.

With LMS2, I am mostly getting crappy things like energy bonuses or mindworms.

Just wondering if it was just the luck of the draw.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Kirov on July 23, 2013, 04:04:10 PM
Nothing special here, apart from that deluge for me and Green1. Some good some worthless pods (no mind worms so far) in both games. A streak of 3-4 very good pops is not that unlikely in my experience. In one game being played here I've had like 5 instabuilds so far. Not in a row, but per 15 or so pods it was pretty cool. Of course, your luck runs out the farther you get from your bases...
Title: Re: Last Man Standing

There has been nothing really for me to get real excited by on any of the pops except i did get a tech for LMS 2 that will really come in handy.

Guys, you won't believe this - I got a flood from pods in both games!  ??? Fortunately, in the second one I managed to grab some screenshots which I will soon post in the 'bugs' section. Please avoid that thread until we're done here, will you? ;)

This time I don't even bother to ask you to replay, and for a good reason - I noticed what we with Green1 had overlooked before - the flood affects all four starting players and their starting points equally. Seriously, in both games the entire planet starts to resemble swamps. So I think it goes without saying that we can only reload such events.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing

One more thing - this time the pod triggered both the flood and then a normal earthquake like a standard outcome. There is no way this is not a bug.

Have you heard of such a bug?
yep. if you start your map from scratch when building the scenario, the there will be floods during the first turns of the game. you shlould always start building the map from a random generated one.
Well, I think it is in the CMN academy standard procedure, butI overlooked it since the reason was not stated, so it seemed to me a waist of time. Now I know.

LMS2 has a reload... be glad I do this, this event "bug" knocks out all your bases, too...

I am hoping as we get away from bases, these pods disappear... I do not like reloading. It looks tacky. This early, probably does not matter. We get 50 turns into this... well I am not reloading and the whole world flooding is going to be hilarious (fun??).

Currently, I am saving before each pod as a precautionary measure, so I minimize how much I have to replay.   But so far, I have not needed to reload.

In later turns, when the turns are longer, I suggest everyone saving before harvesting a pod, just to avoid a large amount of replay.

*sigh* Yes, it happened to me again in L2. I don't like to reload it, too, but the only alternative is for everybody to stop popping pods. However, such a solution would raise some problems - it does not affect equally all factions (for example, Deirdre may consider an infested pod actually a goodie). And the pods are so ubiquitous here, a complete ban might even affect movement and base placement. So I guess we're stuck with reloading. Earthmichael has a point, later on saves may be in order. The only thing that bugs me is just why only me and Green1 seem to be affected...  ???

Anyway, turn to Provost Earthmichael, PhD.

It appears a new volcano has erupted!

Do not worry. Game is very early. Give us about 75 rounds, then the trash will commence. I am also sure there is stuff going on in PMs. Myself, I am fixing to find out how good or bad I am compared to veteran players. They may have an idea of my style, but I have no idea of theirs.

It is also a challenge that in both MP games I am in, I have taken over for other folks. These are not usually factions I play with. But, Deidre has has been out in the woods meditating on what to do  on two worlds full of psychopaths. Between visions of world ending floods, she hopes a vision of being the last (wo)man standing comes to be.

Making matters more nerve wracking is the quality of players we face.

But... you bet. 2 years from now when this is finished, I happen to pull this off. Gloating ... will... happen.

I have to see this, I just can't imagine you trash-talk anyone. And I can't recall any of my SMAC games when trash-talk appeared, I guess because the average age here is slightly higher than in the World of Warcraft? ;)

OK, that's technically not true as I did scold one player who was super duper annoying to me for a long stretch of turns (we had to establish cooperation against the third player, and my would-be ally just kept making his ridiculous demands like "I give you Polymorphic Software, you give me IA", claiming it was a very fair deal).  I was clenching my teeth for a long time before finaly snapping and telling him off in stern words. But this was after I sent several messages that his being very unreasonable offends my intellect (which was a very nice way of putting things). So there is that. Apart from that, there was no trash in my games.

Oh, so that was trash-talk. :) My only experience with trashing was my brief gameplay in Starcraft 2, where it seems that every time I was winning, I somehow started to come across as a homosexual (either that or they thought I'm a cigarette).

Of course I know this kind of stuff never actually happens in AC, but usually I don't even indulge in any kid of posturing or chest-thumping. As the Russians say, 'tishe 'edesz, dal'she budesh' - the quieter you go, the farther you get. Sure it sounds conformist, but I found out that in games it's better to feign inferiority than to feign superiority. But maybe it's just me. :)

That would be correct. The only thing that could possibly pry me away would be:

1. The police find out about my international cocaine smuggling and terrorism ring.
2. I get run over by a street car
3  Work decides to put me on a death march.

Sorry for the reload in LMS2, I was trying to use a password from another game, needless to say in vain.  ::)

BTW, it seems that my problems with flooding pods are over once I moved to another computer. But then suddenly EM started to experience similar issues.  ??? Computer magic!

Post by: Earthmichael on September 23, 2013, 10:42:00 PM
It seems the pod issues are totally random.

I had no flooding issues this turn.  I had the normal pod distribution: popped an IOD which will probably destroy my only boat, got 25 energy from a pod, popped a food resource square.  Nothing really extraordinary good or bad, unless you figure the IOD was bad luck.

I will be glad when the last pods are popped and we don't have to worry about this anymore.

That's Provost, if you will, Colonel Kirov.  Thanks!

Colonel Kirov, you must have gotten an exceptional find in LMS 1, based on the power graph.  Care to share your good luck, or do you want to surprise us with an Ogre or something?

Turned to  ;deidre;

Oh yes, the red herring (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_herring), the oldest trick in the book; t_ras and Green1 are bound to fall for that. Sure, billions of hamsters laid down their lives so that you could be in the lead with your research, my dear 'Provost' (which is not even a real name), but let's talk about the Spartan pod hunting right now.

For best results, please follow up with "look at that Kirov's stupid hair!" and shortly thereafter, "are these Spartans even humans, anyway?" Works every time.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Earthmichael on September 28, 2013, 03:04:16 AM
Yes, let's hide the obvious about Sparta: Sparta wins by war, and a high power graph for Sparta in LMS1 serves as a early warning beacon to be careful to build defenses to not get caught with your pants down.  I am certainly taking my own advice, and building far more defenses for LMS1 than LMS2.

You are saying Colonel a better name that Provost.  Perhaps it is, if you seek war instead of knowledge.

Green1, how are things in the RL world?
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Kirov on October 21, 2013, 03:05:30 PM
When was the last time anyone last heard of Green1? It seems he was kidnapped or something.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: t_ras on October 21, 2013, 09:24:33 PM
Last activity for Green1 was 9/10. He is probably entangle in a lot of work (like I was this week). By weekend Ill push the turn if required.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: Kirov on October 23, 2013, 11:34:45 AM
Do you have green1's email? It's time to send him a reminder, wait a few days and push the turn. I'd hate to do this to him, but several weeks is a lot to get around to do your turn. And I hope this will not require another replacement.... *sigh*

when pushing the turn, remember to take care of basic stuff like production and drones, so he's not completely screwed in the process.
Title: Re: Last Man Standing
Post by: t_ras on October 24, 2013, 08:24:54 AM
Oops, it seems we are stalled. I dont have his PWD...

Post by: Kirov on November 02, 2013, 03:23:34 PM
*sigh* two men down. What's up with Green1?

Since the games are called "Last Man Standing" and there's only two of us left, we can wait some time and then split it even. :D You win LMS 1, I take LMS 2, we shake hands and collect the prize. And all that without a single shot. I told you I'm a pacifist at heart. ;)

Well, we can wait some, but looking for 2 replacements at the moment... I just don't see it.

Title: Re: Last Man Standing
