Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
Are we doing PBW or PBEM? I have been in a PBEM with three people and it does move slowly. However, we have also said we have to wait for all three of us to put our turns in.
I have never played PBW, but I understand it is pretty slick. That, combined with choosing a host for PBEM, makes me lean towards PBW. I am up for starting right away, but if we want to wait for Gold I can live with that. These are just my suggestions: medium size galaxy three starting planets low tech start 5000 racial points infinate resources no ai races (then again, maybe...) role playing in all communication (actually, I have never done this, does it get tired?) I figure this will be fairly crowded and see some action early. We can really work on getting unique races and focus on each other, rather than the Krill. |
Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
"medium size galaxy" depends on player #
three starting planets- good low tech start- good 5000 racial points- I prefer 2000 myself, but this would work infinate resources-good no ai races (then again, maybe...)-they make wonderful punching bags, but that's about it. role playing in all communication (actually, I have never done this, does it get tired?)- I wouldn't try to enforce it, but I'd do it anyway http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I'd say wait for Gold too. New stuff to throw people off http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif And do it on PBW. I can host, if no one else is up for it. Phoenix-D |
Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
My Take:
"medium size galaxy" depends on player # three starting planets- good low tech start- good racial points- Either works for me infinate resources-good no ai races = Maybe the EEE? a Hive Race and a Neutral for Mephisto to take over if / when he has time. role playing in all communication - Might be fun I'd say wait for Gold too. works for me Anyone with experiance with AI races in PBW games? Over all, I'm flexible. |
Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
When you say med are we talkin 100 systems ??
3 planets---good low tech--good racial points--does not matter. no ai races == good ... who needs them. wait for gold == yes. I think this is the best way to test it. I have two pbem friends who want to join.... They both role play. PBW is good. |
Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
Hey, hey, I'm finaly done with the unmitigating work load, ugh...
Med sounds ok to me, but we may want to change to large depending on how many players we end up with. I'm for waiting for gold as well, 5000 racial pts ok, rest ok, however, we may want to throw a couple of AI (enhanced ones) in just to make it interesting or in case Memphisto gets some time and wants to join in or mabye some others like SJ, Atrocities, Chewy, LemmyM, etc. This way we'll have some extra races for those who join after we start.

My spin on this medium size galaxy - fine if this means 100 planets three starting planets - awww... can't we just start with 1, I can never think what to call 3 homeworlds low tech start - deffo 5000 racial points - how'sa about 3,000 infinate resources - definately no ai races (then again, maybe...) - I agree with Mac (or was it guffin) the Eeee, a hive and anything bloodthirsty may let me live longer role playing in all communication - has to be a strictly enforced pre-requisite of the game star destroyers - no, I am a member of the sierra club all warp pints connected - what sense does it make to have isolated systems?? type of galaxy - I like clusters, grid is pretty cool as well what sort of game do we want? anything simple As a point of principle, any game involving the G&G possee (ie regular contributors to this thread) should be heavily role played I expect Grphyin to play a race of noble, proud, honorourable and sensitive people prone to wearing furry fellahs I expect Mac to play a race of grumpy old tosspots miserable because they have lost their haemmorroid cream I expect Saxon to play a race of hard working imperialistic despots I expect Phoenix D to play a race of short wearing misogynistic androgonous female-offending humanoids I expect Tesco to play a bunch of moose kissing dictatorial thread pushing types I expect Mephisto to go eee-aaawwww all the time you expect me to play a race of intelligent, sophisticated, suave and debonaire geniuses http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif |

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
Size = 255 systems to let guffin breathe a bit
Type of Map = I like clusters Racial Points = 2000 AI players yes/no = limited empires only # of planets = lots Tech starting levels = low # of starting planets = 1 Role Playing Races yes/no = YESSSSS all warp points connected yes/no = YES Numb of hour turns (example only, 24hr, 48hr etc)=48 hour Any restrictions or whatever you feel should be or not to be included in the game, example only, star destroyers - no, = no star destroyers, no-one over the age of 50 |

Size = 255 planets (because GrowlTiggless thinks I need it) Type of Map - I Like Cluster Racial Points - 2000 AI players yes/no - Yes so others can join later. Maybe an agreement between us to only defend agaist them. # of planets - Lots more Tech starting levels - Low, (Make Tigless learn the hard way) # of starting planets - One Role Playing Races yes/no - If you don't, I'll be foreced to declare war all warp points connected yes/no - Yes Numb of hour turns (example only, 24hr, 48hr etc) - Does this mean the time allotted to take turn? If so, 24 and allowing for extenuating circumstances Any restrictions or whatever you feel should be or not to be included in the game, example only, star destroyers - no, People with "smbiotic lifeforms" about their lips get extra racial points People who wear large shiney belt buckles get additional racial points People whos dates / wives post here get 1000 extra per poster All of the above are cumulative |
Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
Hmmm, Gryphin, I thought you liked Custer, not Cluster...
...and as for big shiny belt buckles?? Anyway, I concur with the majority of your options list save for the Last section, which should be deleted in full and replaced with the following lawyers get an automatic 10,000 points canadians get an automatic 2,000 points and their choice of moose wearing lipstick anyone over 50 gets 1,000 points and a haemorroid ring mephisto gets a carrot |

Also in NYC it costs 100 dollars just to use the john. All comes down to cost of living and experience. And in the NYC if you spit out of a building your bound to hit a lawyer.

Unfortantly none of them read Hart or Holmes and the who ideology of 'Positive law' fell out the window..... Joking aside. size = 100 to 255 systems map = ancient Racial Points = 3000 or 5000 AI= NO Tech = low # of planets = 1 role playing = yes enforced = only demeanors. colonize = all planet types warp points connected = not connected ( the one where there are not many warp points but some ) restrictions = no PPP, ship capture or communications mimic.

tesco,
any particular reason for these settings? Is this how you play against the AI? Note: GT - Gryphins Take colonize = all planet types GT -Makes it too easy warp points connected = not connected ( the one where there are not many warp points but some ) GT -I think since we have several new players this is not a good idea restrictions = no PPP, ship capture or communications mimic. GT -I really belive thees should be included. Asking them to be ommitted tells me something of your play style. Star destroyers etc.... == yes, protect your systems and suns..... GT -It would add a dimension to the game. Again with novice players (like myself), I would like them ommited. I also don't belive in them on philosiphical grounds. Yes, this is only a game. You can be sure The Gryphins would never build such a monstrosity and would declare war on any that did. If they are included in the game make sure you take ma out first, (if you are able).

"In regards to PBEM or PBW, since I have never had the chance to partake in either, what basically is the difference in regards to playing and what equipment is necessary in order to play either one?"
Equipment? Nothing special. Just go to the PBW web site and it will explain things.. On restrictions: I don't like "house rule" restrictions. Basiclly, if it's in the game I WILL use it. Now, if you want these things out that bad, I'll make up a quick mod, take them out, and run the turns manually. 100% fair, no accusations of doing an end-run around the rules, etc. I'd also put in a vote for warp points anywhere in the system Phoenix-D |

to tigga
I would counter for trama due to the fact my spit was interrupted on its travel.... to gryphin. The reason I mention ppp, ship capture and comm mimic is because these things don't work very well and are alittle unbalanced.... But if we want them we will use them... Don't get me wrong I like intel.... I use it alot. On the star destroyers... all you do is lock down your systems and protect your sun.. A couple star bases should do it with the system grav shielding device... I agree with Phoenix-d once we figure out what we want. Set everything up at the beginning and use it. Worst case is the mod but pbem can handle it. Warp points anywhere===yes. When we get closer to starting the game we can start a new thread on the game......That way everyone can see what were doing... Whoever is going to run the game can determine how to set up the parameters of the game.... I will play what ever the rules are. P.S. the best way to learn about sun destroyers is to get hit by one.... Also what about random events.... I would like the system destroying one turned off so perhaps a low-low combo ???? That one has ruined many a game.... and it is cheezy... you can build stars and destroy them but you cannot stop them from being destroyed... go figure.... Mac....

We don't want that in our game, its supposed to be a fun thing, As far as I'm concerned, whatever is in the game should be allowed, unless there is one thing that everyone agrees on not to let in. We just have to basically pick the parameters for the set up in regards to traits, systems, planets, etc. unless someone really does not want something particular.
