I don't mind going last in the day out of those sets of turns. I am usually up until about 2AM GMT anyway.

Ok, I hope everyones read the rules and etiquette for PBEM play.

When probing an enemy please do not select "Declare vendetta". Probe operations are supposed to be secret after all. Leave it to the player to spot you up to mischief.
No stockpile bug please either.

What about council meetings? Since diplomacy is allowed right from the beginning (I got this right, right?), does one only have to meet the AI faction and then call elections?

Interestingly enough, no. You still have to meet everyone before you can call council. You can also exchange comm freqencies as a trade.

Increase Your PM Length

Question regarding commlinks.

I presume what you've done is that little alteration at the end of the alphax.txt which prevents communication in multiplayer, yes? How is that saved? Is it a part of the .sav file or do we need an identical alpha.txt?

Remove this text

Each time a scenario is created Alphax.txt is completely loaded into it. So any alterations you could make in your Alphax.txt or even {faction}.txt files will have no effect.

However, if you start a PBEM on random map (without actually creating a scenario), any changes in txt files change the gameplay.

Also - could you make up some interesting name for the turn tracking thread?

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Uhh, sadly the start of this PBEM has to be delayed even more..
I cannot force the difficulty level for some stupid, yet unknown reason. I tried all the methods I knew to do it but none worked. I will contact Darsnan for advice.

Suffering from ads?

Even Darsnan does not know..

I'll probably try to make a scenario out of scratch.

Usually you do it by several times switching "force difficulty level" on and off and changing the level between those switches.

I'll try to solve it this eve.

Partially fixed now. 3 factions are on librarian. I hope to fix it during this weekend with Darsnans help.
Probably it's just my SMAX needs reinstall..

Contact and diplomacy shall be permitted from the start.

Blah!

I made it but missed this statement..
It's just a default setting that commlinks are off, so I somehow assumed it, sh^t happens..

The game has been set up, passwords set, ready to go.
If you want me to remake will do it. Just say.

FYI - on small map you'll find each other pretty quickly thus you'll earn at least 1 commlink in first 10 turns.
Also - the AI might help (he's quite mobile and knows where you are).

Game name will be "Sorting It Out".. as it took a week for me to sort out the SMAX/RL issues..

ALSO: the only email I don't have is useless's one..

OK.
I checked Uselesses profile and he was only active for 6 days after his registration, not in the past week and a bit.. I'm not sure we'll see him back based upon that. If he doesn't respond in a few days I'll start offering replacement place to people.

Everyone else ready?
