Re: Updated the FAQ
 

Thanks Asmala. Just to be clear for my one, old, semi-functional brain cell... What happens if I lower reproduction and/or environmental resistance too much? Will reproduction rate ever go less than 0? I have never seen a rate < 0% so I assume it is capped at 0.

Also, what do you do with both of these? I like to take ER down to 51% and add +9 or maybe a few more percent to repro. I like to have populations grow fast. Helps production and construction, etc.

ER and Reproduction stack. You can not have less than 0% reproduction rate.

I guess you did not see any of my various planetary conditions testing Posts... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Oh well.

You don't have to be rude. I know that they stack, and I wasn't asking you what you did.

My post was not rude in any way. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Updated the FAQ
 

Fyron, I tell you this as a friend. Your Posts do sometimes come across to me as rude. I'm willing to bet that others may also find some of them a little offensive, but due to your relentless nature and repuatation here on this forum they don't say anything. Again, as a friend, I suggest you try to read your own Posts before that final click and place yourself in the shoes of the other person or persons that will be reading it. It is the receiver's opinion that should matter to you, not your own opinion.

Consider this. If it were face-to-face in a group and someone said something that was rude to the others but seemingly inoffensive to the speaker, whose opinion(s) would matter? In such a case, if nothing was said to the speaker, how would he know? And after he is informed that the statement is rude, what would be a mature response?

What was rude about my post specifically? The answering of your questions, or the joke part? You may have misinterpreted it. It was only stated in gest, not meant to be rude. I apologize if it came off that way.

Re: Updated the FAQ
 

Slick, condensed other thread for the next Faq edition (You know better then me where to place it):

To avoid having the AI mess up your turns during simultaneous multiplayer games when you miss a turn, always do this:
In the game, press the "Empire Status" button (The crown icon). On the pop-up screen press the "Ministers" button, the next to top button on the right.
Scroll to the bottom of the list and check the box saying "AI should not make changes to the empire during a Simultaneous Game".


When playing a simultaneous game, if you miss a turn and haven't checked the box "AI should not make changes to the empire during a Simultaneous Game" in the ministers option the AI will run the turn for you.
Due to the sequence in which events take place the Messages the AI send will block your message sending function the next turn.
So if the Ai decides to send a message or reply to the "Terran Empire", the next turn that you play the game will say "Message already sent" for that empire and you cannot send any new message until another turn has been processed.


Concerning the SLick-Fyron discussion. I agree with you both on this one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Fyron> You are a fast poster and sometimes your Posts do come across as rude or should I say pompous..
In this particular post, the "Oh, well" can imply that someone isn't doing his homework, is sub-standard and such things. I see that it can also mean alot of other things...

Slick> In this particular case I don't think it was particularly rude.
It's not only the speaker who has to think of how what he says is interpreted, it's also up to the listener/reader to try to interpret what he means.
In the Fyron case I belive it's easy to have a bias when interpreting his Posts http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
Try to re-read this one in a positive way.

(I can butt off and mind my own buisness, but I'm not in that mood right now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

Re: Updated the FAQ
 

That's part of the problem with forums. People can't see body language or hear tone. The smilies are a poor substitute. What I found rude was that it was clear I wanted Asmala's opinion, but you responded in a way that basically said I would have known these things if I had seen your previous Posts. Again, since people are reading text, it's hard to tell the intent. No harm done, its clear that you meant it in a joking manner. I know some of my own Posts could be received as rude so I try to read them before posting with that in mind. Maybe I need to work harder at it.

Slick.
