The "Forum Posters Names List idea":
I just thought it would be interesting to put together a "Ships Name" list of people who post to the forum. I will only add a name if requested as this list will be readily available to use.

How long did the Gryphin and Growltigga thread Last?

Time to dump this one and go to old O'Hanigans.

The Gryphin GrowlTigga thread Lasted
369 post, (I had to fudge it to get that).

Imperator Fyron
Is correct. I watched the numbers all week, (I do to have a life,..sorta)
I saw the numbers today and planned it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I'll be posting a screen shot of when the total was 1000
It was such a noble idea to let GT have the 1001 post. * sigh *

aahhh, my fellow patrons of the Cantina, 1000 Posts, alas the poor GT is not amongst us to help celebrate.... tsk, tsk, oh well, drinks on the house, pizzas all around, let the celebration begin, and I know the Tigga would insist on putting it all on his tab. --corks popping, streamers flying all around, smell of cooking pizza odors premeats throughout the Cantina, Sing alongs start, Rose Bushes get trimmed, Fluffy Bunnies and Furry Feline waitresses hurry around to all the tables serving all the patrons... ahh what a way to spend an evening...... sigh...

Yes my good Tesco, you started this thread idea way back,, it was a good idea, I have enjoyed it and have met (at least I hope so) and made a lot of new and good friends, and yes we are hopefully all good friends and not just the Cantina regulars but everyone who partakes or who stop in say a few words or three, or lurk in the backround,

Please call me just Fyron, instead of Imperator Fyron. I do love that title- which is why I used it- but it isn't necessary to address me thus.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Now, how does one go about fighting with a CTW Cruiser? I would have thought the captain would be too busy with the First Mate to actually fly the ship.

I have just had to pay up on a lost bet in SEIV. My nasty, cheating, horribly smelly opponent managed to glass a key planet and the game is lost. He was kind enough to share some of his strategies and I now feel that I will be able to make Tigga’s death an even more painful affair. My only concern is that there will be so many other fleets in his systems, that we will end up fighting over who gets to blow him up.

I have uploaded my empire, so I think we are mostly waiting for Tigga. I look forward to the game starting so we can begin and we have even more reasons to bicker, I mean, discuss matters like gentlemen.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Fyron, Sounds good to me.

Any body care for a Gentlmans bet as to when this thread will hit 2000?

Ok, I'll upload my chosen shipset and empire tonight.`

"My nasty, cheating, horribly smelly opponett", were you playing against a Gnu or a Moose ???? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Fyron, yep, just thought a nice chat room here on the forum would be neat, that way we can talk about the game and problems, ideas, ect, without having to take up space on the forum threads, and you could talk mono to mono with everyone about the game. The problem with one of the all around chat rooms is your going to have some individuals of little brain capacity, trying to get cute or trying to steer up trouble which in turn would ruin the idea. I don't know what everyone else's feelings are on having our own SE4 Forum Chat room, Maybe take a poll ????? But I'm game, it would be nice to discuss the game etc in chat.
oh well....

You'd be surprised what you can do with those CTW cruisers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Bash: Sorry about the delay. I'll sort it out tonight, honest.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

A request for a non bash player..... Possibly k-m or geo....

Can you generate the map for me.

Large cluster,normal ( cannot remeber what that one is called I do know it is not ancient) ( did we ever decide on the number of systems (was it 255)??
Set the starting points at 1 per cluster. Evenly layed out.
3 planet start with the max on resources.
Normal amount of warp points and warp points can be anywhere in the system.
Call it Bashedspace.

That way i do not know what the map looks like. And all the players have equal knowledge.

Mac we should play some chess some time.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Tesco, your on in regards to chess, I used to collect Chess sets, have some real nice ones, but I'll be rusty, havn't played in yrs..... so be easy on me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif aahhh a good game of chess, some pizza, ice cold brewskis, .ahahhh havn't done that in looonnnggg time. looking foreward to it. By the way, they do have pizza up north don't they??????

255 planets, also now that I saw the other thread, shall we be allowed email outside of the game??? My vote is, once you meet in the game, then it should be allowable, since we are Roleplaying, the banter could be quite long among us players and the current screen doesn't have enought space, you know how long winded the Growltigga can be http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

China, Russia, Canada.

So, if you guys want to join the SE4 chat channel on IRC, follow these instructions:
1) Download an IRC client program (such as Trillian from http://www.trillian.cc which is what I use).
2) You need to connect to any random gamesnet.net server, and join the channel #SE4 (type "/join #SE4").

If you want to use Trillian, then continue reading this. If not, then you suck. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Seriously though, I'd have to figure it out, and it would be easier if you use Trillian (which, incidentally, can connect to MSN IM, AIM/AOL, ICQ and Yahoo! all in one ad-free program).
3) Install Trillian wherever you would like. When installing it, it asks you for your user info for all of the aforementioned chat networks. If you have them, you can enter them in. Otherwise, just hit next.
4) Once installed, look in the main Buddy window (the big one that opens to the right automatically). Locate the row of 5 icons. Clicking on each of these will bring up a list of options for each chat network. Locate the IRC button and click on it. Select Connection Manager.
5) In the bottom left portion of the Connection Manager window, there is a large box entitled Internet Chat Relay (which is what IRC stands for, btw). It contains a scroll list of various servers. Find Gamesnet and click on it.
5a) Select a Random server. Either USEast or USWest will do.
6) Now look in the bottom right, where there is another boxed area. It has 3 tabs. The left and default tab is Personal Information. Enter a Nickname, Alternate, Username and User information. User information can just be a copy of your nickname.
7) Click on the button that says Set nick on all servers.
8) Don't touch the following:
--a) Identd tab.
--b) The two boxes above the Personal Information box. They will be done automatically.
9) Now, click on the Connect button in the top right corner.
10) A new window will pop up, signifying that you are connected to the Gamesnet server network. In the chat box, type in: /join #SE4
11) See ya there!

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Sorry to intrude with a G Bash game question, but I thought the 'friendly' atmosphere of the cantina is the right place to jab about House Rules for Galactic Bash. Uuuhhh... Are there any rules we want?

<Please don't bother noticing me stepping on my fuzzy bunnies as I walk to get several drinks, Guiness, and several pizzas for all here "Anyody like tuna and black olive pizza? Chicken, or Pepperioni?". No implications intended, honest, it's just comfortable for the toes to do.>

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

I would miss being able to read old Posts if we went to a chat channel. One of the joys of the forum is knowing you don't miss out on anything even if your not right there at the moment.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

The chat isn't supposed to be a replacement, but a supplement.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Tuna and Blk Olives on PIZZA????? you gotta be kidding, No offense Chardo Mon, but I'll pass on that one, now sausage, peperoni, bacon, beef, green peppers, aaahhhhh, my doctor would have fits, but I won't tell him.....

As for rules, I believe there are no restrictions, except, I think we need to vote on should there be email between players during the game. As I've stated earlier in thread, my vote is, once you meet in the game, I have no problem with it, but I'll go with majority... Does anyone else have any rules or restrictions.?????

Tesco, you really don't get any snow, thats hard to believe.....Every winter as it comes in it looks like you guys get clobbered.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

I think that email is a perfectly legitimate form of communicating in games.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Ok, right now, TS, SJ and me are in the chat channel, although TS hasnt said anything in a long time. So, come on in!

Fyron, incredibaly excited by the intense activity going on in the Cantina, nods off. Luckily, he is too poor to have anything that it would be worth it to Gryphin to pilfer, and he already finished his dinner (placed on GT's tab, of course).

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

OK, I'm finally signed up for the bash.

I vote with Mac regarding the rules: Email should be allowed but only once game contact has been made.

I'm using the Vikings shipset, there's a Version on your Gold CD (in the TDM modpack zip) or a slighlty improved Version on my website.

Make sure you have them intalled in your MAIN pictures/races directory, rather than (or as well as) TDM/pictures/races.

Oh, and my Vikings aren't quite the same as the Rollo's Vikings zip on PBW either.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Tesco, I have sent you the map via email. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

thanks k- I got it. 10 people right ??

hey Fryon. That was me there. But as soon as I connected the Pizza arrived and then I watched a movie and then read for a bit .... I use dalnet mostly//// that is why i am not on gamenet.

plus i am using mirc..... perhaps anotherprogram to idel in that channel. I am stil there.... I see junkie goes there.

Well take care Spain is playing

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Ok, Ok, really, I will get my race and emp up tonight. My sweetheart will not be home till late.

I use mIRC. I'll get on channel this weekend I hope.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Fyron, I didn't get chance Last night as I was trying to play (blush) Hero's MM 4, (got really trashed by the way) as I'm in hotseat game on Sundays and I'm trying to learn more of the ins and outs of the game. I know its not SE4, but I have to put variety into my playing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif But I did talk with the Gryphin on aol instant msger for a few minutes lst. If you want to talk on aol msgn just send me your handles and i'll add to my buddy list at least until i can download. (Besides I still have a TDM game going on, soooo theerrreee.)

On top of it with you west coast people 3 hrs behind us, 10pm your time is around 1am ours.. but i'll try, It still would be nice if we had our own SE4 chat here in conjunction with the forum, that way if questions arise on game we can talk direct and get immediate help

If you want another program, get Trillian. In fact, Trillian allows you to connect with multiple personas on all the chat networks (inculding AOL and such) simultaneously.

Mac:
Ok, no problem. I use AIM (via Trillian), and my nick is kazharii. Of course, I have to go to school now, but oh well.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

hey fryon i am never on those servers... Sorry about the id Last night on there... i hope my bots didn't drop adds on you...

i stick to dalnet... if your ever there seiv is always going.

it is just me and no one else there

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

It's ok. I didn't get any ads. It would be best if we could keep the chat to one server, since it doesn't get many people going to it.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

yea... se4 on gamesnet is cool by me.

I will keep the dalnet channel since i registered it... It is dead........

Also could someone design me a map for the small universe. 10 players start....( surprise me) (small map) call it small universe.

just need 6 more people. Then I can start and stop pushing the game. Rollo slot 5 is open for you

Since this is an epic game make it an epic map.
255 systems or so.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Email only after contact sounds reasonable; however, I feel that unlimited amounts of bluster and posturing will take place in this very setting, regardless of any attempts to set regulation upon it.

Tigga should be back soon, unless there has been an incident with a Geisha. Is he the player for whom we are waiting? I could go check on the PBW site, but would rather rely on gossip from here.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
