Sure!

I think that's everyone?

Since we got into rules lawyering a little, let's specify the rules. My suggestions:

All sounds good for me. And yeh, so we end up allowing general usage of crawlers, ye? Ye.

[funbot]

And just a reminder for participants to start sending those passwords to mercantile, so he can start making the game on sunday.

[MercantileInterest]

If the rest of you get your passwords in, I could make the game on Saturday. Do you all want a small map or average? The scenario editor doesn't allow me to forbid secret projects or units, so without alphax.txt editing, you'll just have to forego building forbidden items.  You don't want any AIs in this game, right? Kurvivor, which faction do you want?

[Nevill]

Standard map size, please.

I suppose we can just agree not to build them, but you can edit Secret Priojects in SE. Just select an AI Colony Pod, build a base, enter it, click Edit Base, then choose to edit Secret Projects and set the ones you want as Destroyed.


Then remove the AI via 'Eliminate Faction' option in the menu.

[funbot]

and ye, no AI

"Empath Guild, Planetary Transit System and Cloudbase Academy are BANNED."

'k. Can do. Have cooked up a fun map. Wonder how an Alpha Centauri game would work with probe team infiltration banned. Would certainly make the governorship enviable.

[Nevill]

Hmmm... Hello? What's the hold up?

[MercantileInterest]

Need Kirov and Kurvivor's passwords.

EDIT: Also need your timezones for preferred turn order.

[funbot]

gmt+2. Also, seems there is a later version for the Yitzi patch(letter D instead C), is it too late to change it to that?

[Nevill]

GMT +3. But I really can only play from 17-00 to 21-00 GMT, so it's best to take that into account, rather that the timezone.

Edit: sure, let's go for 3.5d. I will need to make a separate installation to run this game anyway.

[MercantileInterest]

You're off!

Nevill ->Funbot ->Kurvivor (?)->Kirov

Considered starting one of you in a single square puddle with a sea escape pod and a unity foil.

[Nevill]

I will never know how I got +1 techpoint and several extra credits. Oh well...

  's turn.

[funbot]

aaaaw yeeee, gaiiiim taiiiiiim 

[Kurvivor]

I am

1) Sorry for the delay here but I completely lost track of this game, although I knew I was missing something. And the thread didn't send me any notifications, so there is that.

2) I needed to rename the file, it messed with my copy in a most peculiar way. Basically, when I downloaded this file to my folder, the SMAX copy was unable to browse the game folder for games ("system error") and I have to store my turn in a completely different folder. I don't know what gives but I suspect either the name of the file or the 3.5d itself.

Anyhow, the turn is with you, guys. Enjoy and good luck to you all!
