Re: Challenge Match
After reading these Posts I think too we should reset the game.
Btw I have noticed that the amount of free scans vary at each time. Sometimes I got one system scanned and sometimes five systems scanned. But this happen only when I have more than one homeworld. Is that just random or what? |

Re: Challenge Match
I found the mistake.
I forgot to set a starting point for Player 4 so they ended up in the Norths backyard. My Bad Mea Culpa Drats! Can't blame it on my vision. Have to blame it on my ADD. Arn't you glad I don't write code for Microsponge? [ April 29, 2003, 22:14: Message edited by: Gryphin ] |

Old but fast! Have to remember that. Perhaps Lord Chane is still recovering from the incredible time-space shift his empire experienced and is clearing the dizziness from his head before he makes warplans. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Not sure about the Posts, but 287 used to be the math co-processor to the 286 chip, right? If I'm wrong, then I lose my IT license (might be a blessing...LOL). So, otherwise, I need help! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif |

Slynky, you are older than I thought. (or have read far too much)
That was what I was referring too. What kind of IT do you do? Mostly I do "Desktop Support". I have no control over the Network level stuff except to grant access.

Slynky vs Gryphin Phun Gam
Here are my thoughts Synky vs Gryphin Match Starting resources: 20000 Starting planets: 5 Home planet value: Good Score display: All Technology level: Medium Racial points: 5k Quadrant type: Dense Threaded Spiral Quadrant size: Less than 100 Event frequency: None Event severity: NA Technology cost: Medium No ruins on planets No: Intel – Not even Counter Intel for protection from the AI No: Deliberate Planet Glassing. No Weapons of Mass Planetary Destruction. So no Planet or sun busters, Plague, Napalm, etc..You must try to capture planets. This includes against the AI. Home worlds you can blockade. (Bet you have never played that way). No: - Mines, Repair, Ship Capture, These techs will remain available to the AI. You can build Mine Sweepers. Victory conditions: Two Halve Phun Maximum units: MAX Maximum ships: MAX Computer players: United Floral and Toron Other game settings: 36 Hour Fully automatic turns with a sincere effort to keep it to 24. Required: You supply 45 system names for the map. - The names can not be hard to read combinations of use non English characters. No trading, gifting or treaties with the AI.

Re: Challenge Match
Lord Ithis woke from his traditional dreams of galactic conquest and scratched his (deleted).
He struggled with the "sandman" and reached for his handmote. "Hmmmmm. Chane and Asmala were active, VERY active. That was good." He smiled. Still rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he reached to his bed-table for his usual meal of organic nutrients. He smiled as he extracted a Thrilbim from its cracked shell. Moving to an upright position on his grav-bed, he dropped the morsel on his waiting tongue and pulled it in with a peasent-like maneuver. Wiped the juice from his lips and inspected the tray for more tidbits. But war loomed and he fought his hunger for delicacies. A more important thought grasped his attention. "Ithion! ON!" He commanded. Yes, he was a bit egotistical but naming the WarComp after his name wasn't the biggest sin of his. "Where ARE Chane and Asmala?", he queried. "Location Unknown" "CONFOUNDRALS!" He nearly screamed. Hadn't he hired ancient mystics to supply him with movements and locations? He stomped across his quarters while scratching his (deleted). Heads would roll! |
Re: Challenge Match
"They know where we are!" The tone of Emperor Asmala's voice betrayed his concern.
Lord Ithis threw the irratating Rubic's Cube on the floor and spoke harshly. "Ithion ON. Comm channel ON." Asmala's 3D image appeared. "We were scouting new outPosts to colonize and encountered a ship of the Pootopian Empire. They are nearer than we calculated! We need warships to this sector immediately." Ithis peered into the image. Silence ensued. "Ithis, you don't seem to undertand! They have ancient mystics in their charge! They know all the start charts!" Ithis stared blankly. "Ithis, DO YOU COPY THIS TRANSMISSION?" Lord Ithis paused, scratched his (deleted), and replied, "I'll contact Lord Chane. His fleets are nearby." He terminated communications, picked a particularly annoying booger from his nose, scratched again, and turned his attention to the discarded Rubic's Cube again. |
Re: Challenge Match
Communique: Sub-channel coded (voice)
Origin: Yabu System (Path Layer) To: KaRellan Fleet Commander "Our orders to lay mines in the designated sectors of the Yabu system are keyed and locked. Travel progressing as planned. Wait! Medium proximity scan showing debris in our path. No! Wait! I'm scan-closing now... NO! It can't be! Commander, it isn't debris at all. It appears to be fast-moving figh......" EOT Lord Ithis smashed his Rubic's cube onto the op-desk. Apparently, idiots were in the wrong command positions. THIS, he would rectify! |
Re: Challenge Match
I'm going to try to load the game on W2K in the Alabama office I'm working in and see if it will run so I can do my turn from here.

Re: Challenge Match
Slynky, I appreciate the updates http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Sounds like its turning out to be a good game.
Just curious, what turn/year is it? Of course, I'd like to know more, but I can't think of much else to ask that wouldn't give secrets away http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Guess I'll just have to wait for the post-game. |
Re: Challenge Match
The turn is 24.

Re: Challenge Match
"Here is your new Rubic's Cube, your Worthiness." Morsel, the timid Imperial Shopper bowed extra low. Word had pierced the empire that the Black Hole Alliance had been suffering setbacks in its war against the Olden Ones. He proffered the cube gingerly.
Ithis whirled around at the intrusion. "Drop it where you stand!" He commanded. Morsel did so and slynked out of the room. Lord Ithis allowed his attention to be diverted from the grav-mon with the latest expansion reports. Calmly, he strode toward the venomous cube and stared at it. Then, overcome with a nanosecond of anger, stomped the square into little bits. Ithis paused for a moment to try and gather his wits. To control his anger. Reached down with his hand and scratched his deleted. For some strange reason, scratching always seemed to help. It was then, immediately following the Imperial Scratching that he saw. He dropped to his knees before the scattered bits of the Rubic's cube and saw the galaxy. Different colors. Distances. He had an epiphony! Springing to his feet, Lord Ithis screamed to Ithion, the war 'puter, "Get me my commanders onlne! I now know what must be done!" |
Re: Challenge Match
Olden Ones -vs- Black Hole Alliance 2403.0
It's been three years and time for a game update. The three players in the Black Hole Alliance are in 4th 5th and 6th place. That means the three players in the Olden Ones...well, you can do the math... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif . (in case anyone is interested) |

Re: Challenge Match
I should reload turn 1 and "snatch" the map for reference, I guess, but it hasn't seemed like the game has drawn much interest.
Certainly, the Olden Ones contain some of the best players around (from what I have seen)...so it's a tough game (as our position shows). The map is very interesting. Choke points, etc. Three on top and three on bottom...with those three "Groups" of systems on top connected in various ways to the three "Groups" on the bottom. Lines of colonization have begun to form up and defensive positions being staged. A few ships lost to mines and some "fighter wars". Obviously, we "young" upstarts have bitten off a big piece of meat to fry. I'm sure they are doing as much as they can to prove their reputations. |
Re: Challenge Match
I'm glad you like the map. Did my best to make it ballenced, fun and as deceptive as possible.

Re: Challenge Match
The game is starting to materialize now. Fleets are now making their presence known. Preparations are being made for some significant battles in the middle of the map while fighting has already began in the West. The biggest fleet that has appeared is by geoschmo (21 LCs's) in the middle of the map. They must surely be fitted with the Talisman. In the West, Asmala is assmbling a fleet to work on 1FSTCAT, who fights without benefit of the Talisman. As one who doesn't have the Talisman, I feel his pain (said in my best "Clinton" voice... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ). In the East, only a minor skirmish between Lord Chane and RexTorres with a few ships.
I suspect we will see some "geoschmo action" soon with his fleet of 21 LC's, though http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif |
