<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">What is W.W.F.D.?

I searched around and found these possibilities:

What would a friend do?
What would Freud do?
What would fighter do?
What would Florence do?
Winning with Food Day
World Wide Field Day
Walla Walla Fire Department
What would Fred do?
West Warwick Fire Department

What would Fang do?
What would Feynman do?
What would Falwell do?

What would Foy do?
...

OK, so just take any name that begins with F and insert in the blank:
What would ______ do?

Or, in this case the answer is:

What would Fryon Do?

Here's the mod for the game:

http://seiv.pbw.cc/Download/filelib/854/anklebiter.zip

I ended up having to change the vehicle size file as well as teh tech area file to eliminate the option of building carriers.

I did not change the combat turns at this time. We can keep an eye on it and if it looks like planet capturing is too hard we can consider changing it.

For those that need it, here's the link to Matryx's mod picker.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1039630481.zip

I highly recomend it. It's easy to use, and has decent documentation included with pictures and everything. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The mod link won't work if you aren't logged into PBW. Sorry about that.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Is it too late for an extra player? I noticed that PBW is down (or maybe it's just me). Sounds like a sweet concept. I'd like to get in on it if there is still time.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Last time I was able to get into PBW, the game hadn't started yet and the number of players was around 12/20, but we were just about to start...

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Ok, this game is still on track. Waiting on empires from Tesco and Krsqk. Ragnarok had to withdraw so we are back to 11 players. If someone wants to join and can get in before those two get their empire files in I will allow it.

Actually maybe I ought to take a poll of the players in teh game and make sure they havn'e lost interest. I'd hate to have people dropping out on the first turn.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm still up for it. Kinda wondered why people didn't use the time PBW was down to create an empire, though.

hi. it will be up tonight.

P.s. I will be away next weekend as it is the labour day weekend... Just giving advanced warning now... No worries I will set everything to ram...

Will have an empire up tonight.

I didnt' get one up while PBW was down because...well...I forgot about this game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Since I didn't have a .GAM file for it, it slipped under my radar. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

The only one that hasn't replied they are still interested is Gandalph. Come to think of it though I haven't seen him in the forum in a while. Is he on vacation or something?

Geoschmo

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Ok, game on!

I am going to assume that Gandalph is just out of town for a couple days and that he really is planning on playing. I don' tsee him skipping out on us. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

No he is around (Gandalph) - we are slaughtering each other's fleets in KOTH.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Well maybe I don't have a good email for him or soemthing. Do me a favor and send him a message in your game and ask him to check the thread here.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You have the right email address, my sending server is having problems right now. I have intermittent failure to communicate (love the movie) with recipient servers, especially the likes of AOHell, Yahoo, Hotmail, and other such freebies.

Put on your steel-toe boots and lace 'em all the way up. My little guys are hungry. Best of luck to all and have fun!

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

To all game players: I’ll be unable to process turns from Friday till Monday afternoon (I’ll be at Dragon*Con all weekend).

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Oh man, for so long to get so few turns done...

It's turn 4 and I have found that I have the homeworld of a different empire one system away from each of my three homeworlds. I don't think they know just how crowded this corner is, but they'll figure it out as soon. There are four of us packed into this one corner.

What exactly is the protocol on requesting, suggesting, or pursuing the restart of a game?

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Well, my official position on restarts is that restarts suck. I prefer to always go with the cards dealt and make the best of things. And I adhere to this consistantly even when my own starting position is piss poor.

Perhaps if you impress upon your neighbors the advantage to all of peaceful cooperation, at least for a while.

That being said I guess if you can make a suficent case for a restart and a large number of people are wanting one we could do it. The earlier in the game the better.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Peace is peace, but lack of expansion is Death.

Sorry, I posted that I would stick with the game even without a restart in the post I made in the PBW forum, but neglected to mention that here.

Still, if anyone else is in favor, I would be most enthusiastic. Perhaps, with a weekend coming up, we could catch up on the four turns we've done so far in a matter of hours.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Ok, I just sent this out as an email to everyone:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'll keep a tally. If you want your vote kept confidential I will do so.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

it is a small map i just figured we were all close to people

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

My email is still being fixed (by me) so I will cast my vote here.

Don't Care

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It was a medium map actually. Appears to be around 70 systems. That could be sufficent for 12 players if the spacing were better. Aparently one player is in a corner and has three empires around him all within a one system distance. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

If we restart I'll gen a map of around 100 systems and have someone place common starting points.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's kind of funny, actually. The first guy I met said something like "Well this could be nice, we'll divide this corner between the two of us." Then I met the other two, bordering my other two homeworld systems.

I doubt any of them have met each other, if fact, a couple probably aren't even aware they're met me yet (haven't uploaded their turns yet), but they'll meet each other real soon.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

I don't really mind my position too much. Yeah, a bit cramped but I have a fairly good choice of planets (set down on 3 various sizes of breathables already). I've popped into 2 people's home systems (one of them Loser's) already. So, yes, I'm one of the people around him.

So, how do I vote? I guess a "don't care" will suffice even though I do care...I just don't care enough to argue about it. Just figuring what has happened in other restarts I've been in, I'll get positioned beside nebulas and empty systems.

PS: With 12 slots, it's highly impractical 4 turns can be accomplished in several hours. After all, it's taken nearly 14 days to do 4 turns (and though I was gone over this past weekend, the game wasn't ready to run when I returned, so it wasn't me holding it up).

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

well perhaps it will affect the long term outcome but creating another game just screws some other players.

I am in the 'Don't Care' mode and will take what cards I am delt

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

I'll go with the majority as stated, however, I would mention that the intent of the game is to explore a game with the smaller ships. If the game turns into an early slugfest, it will not be much different from a standard game.

Slick.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's what I'm saying!

Not that I'm at all impartial here. But yeah, what he said.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Put my official vote in as don't care.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Ok, by my accounting so far everybody has either voted Yes or Don't care. But I still have not heard from Joachim or Krsqk. Please let me know guys.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

I don't care.

Should have checked the forum a little more carefully, I guess. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Since I haven't seen a "no" vote, I'm not going to bother doing my turn. Looks like this one's headed back to the game regenerators.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

It only takes a second. I did mine.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Dont Care....

Sorry for taking a few days to reply - away at wedding.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Don't get me wrong...I know it isn't the weekend but, as I said earlier...kind of...(as we bear down on the deadline for turn submission) slim chance of ever getting 4 turns done in a day (let alone a matter of hours).

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

Any idea where Krsqk is?

When do we go on anyway?

'ping Krsqk' thread.

Re: Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.
 

I guess Krsqk was unable to resolve or work around his technical issues. I suppose we should find a replacement for him. Anyone interested?

I would be interested, as this is a different game, but I am already in quite a few games and... *Gets rid of his work* Well, if you do accept me, then I will take over Krsqk. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
