Poll: Who wants Tweakers Anonymous rebanged (same settings except with 5000 sectors and 600 turns was my current thought)?
I just finally got bored of sitting around and took Wittlich out and some of Thor's stuff. Aeturneus and I started with too large a head start and made the game kinda pointless. Then I was careless attacking Thor and corp 4 wins the game.
I'm conceding to Thor's corp, and Thor and I request a rebang.
I'd be happy to bang, say, tomorrow at noon, if people by and large would want that.
Wittlich, Burbel, Kropotkin, Prophet, etc.?
I'll announce ingame so anyone in the game that doesn't frequent this forum will get a vote too.
Edit: Quick note, I won't be playing in future games on my own server. That may let me do some things to spice the games up, anyway, like play NPCs or something, which wouldn't be possible if I were playing since I'd have unfair knowledge and all that.

Well a noon rebang is definitely out now due to lack of response, but a rebang next weekend is highly likely if people come around and request it...

Interesting idea. I was considering limiting my rebang to partnerships (corps of 2), but even that has an opportunity for imbalance when there are only 5 or 6 active players.
Of course, I was also considering announcing the rebang on the EIS forums and Firaxis log, which would likely bring in quite a few new players and make it worthwhile just staying with corps of 3.
We'll see. Still haven't gotten a solid "go ahead and rebang" from a majority of players, so I'm not sure how to proceed. I may leave the current game running and bang a Tweakers II or something and run the two games concurrently.
Actually, that sounds like the way to go. I'll leave Tweakers I going until people either agree to retire it or just stop playing it. It doesn't cost me anything to have extra games running; two seconds per 24 hours of CPU time running extern isn't gonna kill me :>
There's some special stuff I'm waiting for TWGS .56 and .57 to bang. My "Living Galaxy" game, for example (the one with Babylon 5-based races) is on hold pending .57, because .57 is due around early August (i.e. I hope to see it by the end of October :P) and is supposed to include the gold AI alien scripting that's been promised for so long. That will allow me to make the universe run the way it should run, aliens acting the way they should, without any extra effort from me beyond writing scripts and then tweaking them later. As an example, a Shadow Planetkiller will literally be able to destroy planets, instead of just being a superstrong ship class.
I may go ahead and enable the .55 gold version of the Alien Traders for Tweakers II, though, just to make things a BIT more interesting. Perhaps even a unique third race (besides AT and Ferrengi) to spice things up even further.
So many ideas, so few players :P Oh well...

Not to be a TW tease or anything, but no rebang today, sorry.
Having some fairly serious problems with my system. Setup programs freezing up for no reason I can figure out. Going to need to do a repair installation and possibly a full blown clean install.
Sigh. Wonderful Microsoft.

Hi,
Glad to see someone is still carrying the TW torch. I'd like to play in a banged game if one is about to happen. Is the tweakers game the same game as the firaxis game? If not could I have the ip for the tweakers game?
Thanks!

Got my system fixed (damndest thing, a Windows Update of all things hosed my system; took a while to track that down), but I can do everyone two better.
One, I'm taking next week off work, so I should get a chance to finally set up my second system, which should mean faster serving since that system will pretty much be a mostly full-time server instead of my primary system with a server on the side.
Two, my ISP just doubled my upstream bandwidth (to 256kbps) so I can support about 20 nodes now. Not that that's likely to be needed anyway, but it's nice to have.
I expect to have this all ready around the middle of next week. However, that's smack dab in the middle of Independence Holiday goodness. So, I propose a rebang on or slightly after July 8th, when everyone should be available after any possible July 4th weekend vacation plans. (That would be in just under two weeks, for the calendar impaired.)
Questions? Comments? Jubilation? Suspiration?
