geo that is a great joke...

Re: Rated Challenges Thread
 

We can wait and see what Alneyan says...I would like to hear his opinion. As to me, I can go either way. But like Gecko said, no matter how the game finishes, there will always be the "tainted" feeling.

Re: Rated Challenges Thread
 

I have to admit I am not sure about what to do, except having the best of both worlds if you are willing to do so. That is, we may finish this game and start another one without this gift bug (hopefully, but I may dream). But I will be fine with going one way or another. (Sorry Slynky, not very helping advice about this matter)

Re: Rated Challenges Thread
 

Maybe I have played during so many times dealing with bugs, that this don't change the things to me (somebody remember the time when the first player ALWAYS had the first shot in the battles?).
The game "Pairs" is full of rated players (I'm not rated there), and although I suffered the "Gift bug" many times during this game (and think the others too!), nobody said the game is screwed.

Re: Rated Challenges Thread
 

Well, Alneyan said he doesn't care. I said I don't care. Gecko says he doesn't really care but it will "leave a bad taste". And "Grand Master B" says he wants to continue playing.

I think we have our answer since no one has said they did NOT want to continue the game. So, we will continue the game unless someone says something different.

But, several turns from now, this is no longer something to talk about... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Rated Challenges Thread
 

I want to toss my two cents in. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Even though I'm not playing in this game I see a serious problem here in the fact that a rated game is being disrupted by a bug. If all the players knew of this bug going in it wouldn't be a big deal, but that's not the case here.

My suggestion would be to either continue but without Ratings or to restart with them. If you guys choose to restart I'll be more than happy to do it for you, but with a new map to eliminate any advantages. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I have not preferences. Both things will be ok.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Really would like to avoid random maps. A Tesco's map would fine for you?

About other settings, I have not preferences.
Koth standard? Anything else would be fine with me.

Re: Rated Challenges Thread
 

I remember that I have seen some talking about Tesco's map, but where can I see it?

Cheers

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You can find them in PBW. They're used (mostly in KOTH) to prevent start in adjacent or close systems.
Anyway, if someboyd else can start our game with a random map and fix the starting places, I have not problems.
