I volunteer to replace people.

[binTravkin]

If you're looking for replacement in a PBEM, I could try to help.

I used to be a CMN @ CGN and Apolyton some 10 years ago.

[Kirov]

Damn, we had an opening in a super epic game like for 3 months and got a replacement just a week ago. Right now my games are full but if you want a sparring, we can ask Mart for some simple map. How much have you been playing SMAC these years? I've been on this board for like two or three years now so I managed to recall a thing or two from the 'poly times. Feel free to hit me up if you need a warm-up and we'll be looking for experienced players once the 'Rising Sun' game is over.

If I remember correctly, the last time we all had been engaged in the same game was 2005 (Snail’s Pace). It would be nice to repeat it...

[Buster's Uncle]

I used to be a CMN @ CGN and Apolyton some 10 years ago.

Would you like to take that back up?  We've got a bunch of CMNs around, but everybody's too busy much of the time -between babies and new jobs, MP goes leaderless sometimes, and we can always use a deeper bench.  I've been pleased by your activity and enthusiasm lately; you've been good for our community during a slow spell.

Any interest?

[Kirov]

Oh, Snail's Pace, I know I've been there as a replacement! Not for long, though, as someone else dropped out quickly.

[Kirov]

binTravkin, are you still there? There would be a replacement for you to fill. Yang, one turn in. With a special condition that you can't wight by conquest (vendettas between players not allowed). A weirdish map. Are you interested?

[binTravkin]

Builder Yang?   

Yes, just send the details to my email.
Also, mention which version/patch you are using.

[Kirov]

This has been done. I forgot the version - Yitzi's latest, I think it's 3.4 now. Remember that queueing stockpile doesn't do anything in this patch now.

[Mart]

Garland's Legacy is Yitzi 3.3, iirc.

[Yitzi]

Though later ones should (until you mod them) work the same as earlier ones except for bugfixes...I think one of the versions accidentally included some mods to the drone rules, though, so you'd have to revert those.  (Also, I'm keeping the original opening movie as default, just because it's so much better.)

[binTravkin]

Ok, I will try clean install (from GoG) + 3.3 and see how it goes.

Hopefully that's the right way to do it.

Or do I need other patches as well?

[Kirov]

binTravkin, I may have one or two games for you:

1) Smoke and Mirrors is an HtH. You get CyCon against MallaxOZ's Morgan. It really starts with turn one, your predecessor didn't make a single turn. Yitzi's 3.3b, but I'm quite sure you can play with the latest. I'm the CMN with a pwd.

2) FTSA is a threesome. MY is 2199, you get Miriam (55 pop, ME, WP) against CyCon (49, NA, PEG) and Morgan (129, HGP, PTS, MCC, VW, CN). EG and CBA banned. You may find it an interesting challenge. Mart's our CMN. Yitzi'z 3.3b.

Let me know if you're interested.

You asked about patches: apart from the latest unfortunate incident, Yitzi's patched don't affect the gameplay and should be interchangeable in theory. In case of any issues we could always try the most recent version. I was alwasy a bit slow to upgrade and it always worked just as well.

[binTravkin]

Yea, send me passes for both.

I just wonder about the discussion regarding patches in FTSA - Vishniac seems to have specially installed 3.3b.

[Kirov]

I've just sent you pwd for S&M. Please ask Mart for FTSA's. How do I check which Yitzi's I have again?

[binTravkin]

Was it alt+f4 by chance?
