	Re: Starting Suffering from ads?

Sorry, I didn't answer all of your questions last time.

quote: Originally posted by yoda Ok, how does this work? For the 1x1 games (I have 4 scheduled for round 1), does the host just create and get them rolling?

Yes, The host can just create the game and get it started. But if they want to negotiate non standard settings they should first contact the other player.

The point here is that any player may demand the standard settings. So if the host just starts the game he is effectively just demanding the standard settings.

The host may not start a game with non-standard settings without first negotiating with the other players.

BTW: All players must veto any wonder that they want
vetoed along with or pior to there first move.
I.E. they can decide on the veto after seeing there
position for one turn, but no later.

quote: [SIZE=1] Is it the same for the 2x2? Or, does there have to be some sort of agreement between players/teams first?

Yes, same thing for 2x2 as for 1x1.

I would also like to mention again....

The player with orange in a 1x1 game must also host. In these cases an AI player plays blue, and green. The Host's opponent will always be pink.

if no one said that yet (and even if),
i suggest anything about the 1x1 matchups goes into the appropriate 2x2 thread (that one where the two 1x1 opponents are playing too) to prevent unnecessary new threads being opened.

Good idea math. We might get booted from the forum for spawning to many threads. Perhaps non-Super league players will be PM DanQ

	Slave Trade Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Hmmm... I remember something from a tournament I played in many years ago. Send a bunch of diplomats to your opponents shores and let him take them out with slavers. Since this is not a cheat, I assume this type of strategy is ok. However, should we make a quick rule to prohibit this sort of action?

i tried that.
first i assumed that it worked but then i realized it had not.
just cause i named the threads for the super league with the initial team names A, B, ...and not the real names...

since it would be totally abusable. imagine this:

you and i (being teammates) send diplomats to each other's territory and attack them with slaver/military unit each time.
that is a veeery cheap way to get population increase.
on top of that, since we are truly cooperating, we could even pump our cities quite targeted, depending on where exactly the diplomat got killed.

I'll posting a description of the scoring along with a standings table pretty soon, but just been a little busy.

Basically 2 points to a team for winning a 2x2
1 point to the team for winning a 1x1

The tournament will mostly be decided by those game
results.

In the case of ties the *9's count and other bonus
will count. bonus are win <100 +10, <150 +5

i opened 5 threads on my teams Super League matches versus other teams. the other 2 were opened by ricketyclik.

ideally, i like all my threads to be of the form:

"SL II - game #nr - "
Then the team with the lower team letter in this form:
"Team Name (team letter) vs. "
and then the other team in the same format.

e.g.

"SL II - game #xy - Raging Hordes (A) vs. ELF (D)"

that would be very nice, Frozzy, but i dont expect you to do it. still it would be nice.

I'm very keen on seeing the game #s with the threads as welll. This is probably not that helpful to everyone, but it will definitely make the record keeping easier, and will remind players of the game numbers later when they report star 9 etc..
