MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

I'm starting up a new game on the Mosehansen server for ten players. Please reserve spots here. Do not reserve if you don't feel you are capable of maintaining the commitment to the game. Do not play if you have not reserved.

Game is 10 players, Desert Eye, indeps 6, sites 60. Server should host every 24 hours with quickhost enabled if people are feeling frisky.

I've got dibs on R'lyeh.

As a sidenote, I'd be thrilled if we could incorporate a little bit of role-play into this game as well. I've always been a big fan of diplomacy in table/Online strategy games and dig the element of taking on some elements of character when playing them. Occasional AAR stuff here would be fun as well.

HAH! NO ONE expects the Marignonian Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and terror... our TWO chief weapons, surprise, terror, and a fanatical devotion to the... oh, %*!$ it, let's start over again here...

Oh, you want me to roleplay SERIOUSLY? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

In any event, I'll take Marignon!

edit: oh wait, this is a Linux server? I can't get networking to work under Linux... are the battle replay bugs all that bad that I shouldn't play? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Or maybe if someone could help me with getting networking to work... stupid TrueMobile 1150 won't work with the orinoco_cs driver like it's supposed to! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Game has not started. It's currently In Progress b/c of an inadvertent click by a sign-on. An e-mail's been sent out and hopefully we'll get it reset or deleted and restarted shortly. Don't bother playing as yet.

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

Did someone take Ulm? If not, I want to play them. If they're taken, I'll go with Abysia.

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I took Ulm. I'm also the idiot that accidentally started the game (mental blank when I clicked - I am really sorry).

If you really want Ulm I'll relinquish it though, I'm not particularly attached to any nation as of yet.

Not sure how long it'll take for mr mose hansen to reset the game, so y'all may find it better to start another one and ask for that one to be deleted, I dunno.

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

Oh, take Ulm if you want it then. Abysia is fine.

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

I'll likely start a new game tomorrow evening. I'd like to give our host the extra time to delete. We'll assume all RSVPs stay as are unless somebody Posts that they're backing out.

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

Well, I guess I'll back out, since I can't get networking up on Linux... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

I would be glad to join, but I'll have to wait until they fix Linux/Windows incompatibility. Having no way of knowing what really happen while watching the battle in reply on my Windows machince is pissing me off in our current Destiny game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

Game has been deleted.

I had taken the nation of arcosephele (sp?) didn't see this thread 'til just now.

I'llssssss takesssssss Pythhhhiumssssss pleasssssssse......

(I gather from this thread that I should play this game under Linux in order to view the vcrs .... that should be fine. I'm behind a firewall - do I need to forward any tcp or udp ports to play over tcp/ip?)

If there's still time I'd like to join as C'tis.

Game restarted as TentoTangodeux. Keep in mind that Windows machines will, as noted below, not see correct battle replays. So use your map, not the sims, if, like me, you're running a PC ruled by the Empire of Gates.

The game is currently closed, with all ten slots having been filled.

Nations taken:
R'yleh - Miguell
Pangaea - Patrik
Tien Chi - Cainehill
Man - Snoop
Ulm - Breschau
Abysia - Yossar
Arcosephele - DJTool
Pythium - Magnate
Ermor - DarkTears
C'tis - Mr. White

I go now to lurk within my oceany lair and prepare unspeakable doom for the filthy doomed heads of my ultimately doomed land-dwelling enemies. (Doom!)

Once all ten players have signed back on, 'll get the game started, hopefully by tonight. Please, no additional players beyond those mentioned above and no slot stealing. The game will move as quickly as everyone allows but otherwise on a 24-hour basis.

Enjoy!

I'm still at work but should get signed in by about 1900 GMT. Apologies if that makes me Last.

No sweat.

I don't generally assume that everyone else has the flexibility of my school schedule. ;-)

If we can get going tonight, that'd be great. Otherwise, I'll hope to see everyone on by tomorrow at some point.

Ok, I'm home and having trouble installing under Linux -

-su: ./unix_install: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: permission denied

... I'm not a *nix novice but I've never seen that before. Can anyone help?

(I'm quite happy to play the first turn or two under Windoze if everyone else is ready, btw - just let me know)

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

This can happen if one of your partitions is mounted noexec. Type "mount" to see if this is happening.

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

Ignore me, I am a total arse. The Readme very helpfully tells you to use "sh unix_install" and not "./unix_install". Doh.

Sorted. I'm the ninth to join, which makes me feel a little less stupid.

The tenth and final Pretender has entered the fray. (Does this mean that anyone can start the game now?)

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

If everyone is ready, avatars uploaded that means we need to start the game.

The game has begun. Your filthy manflesh will fall before the incomprehensible horror of R'lyeh.

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

So, are we upgrading to 2.11?

/Patrik

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

I'd -like- to upgrade, yes. Whether it's at all feasible to get everyone upgraded and get the server there is a different story.

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

I beg your pardon, but I'm going to a trip, and I will have no internet there (in fact no electricity at all). My password is "w". One character only. Use it to set me to AI, or find a human repleacement. Thx a lot! GoodLuck and HaveFun!

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

I've switched the three stale players over to AI. Judging by the fact that DarkTears asked for the switch and nobody made it and that the C'tis and Pythium armies both had 4000+ in gold, I'm assuming that these guys have all been inactive for quite some time. So, this should make the game a little more interesting. Lord knows that their first turn out was a bit... nasty. And with all that gold, we'll see how they do.

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

To Ulm and R'lyeh (the only other players left in the game) - since I've at least twice as many troops, more than twice the income and probably more than three times the gem income of the two of you combined - should we not call it a game?

/Patrik

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

The game is stopped. Is this on purpose? I still stands as owner for this game, and just wanted to know.

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

I haven't stopped it, however, I would have won within five turns (probably sooner). If it is OK with the other players I think we could quit now.

/Patrik

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

Well, somebody is either hacking their savegame file or has access to the patch already. The server complains about a savefile (nation10=pangaea according to the modding manual) being Version 2.12.

I could delete this file and restart, if you wish. Or we could wait for the patch and restart. Or we could just kill the game.

The choice is yours :-)

Re: MP Game -Ten to Tango Deux is FULL, recreated, and starting once all players re-sign.
 

Oops, yes that would be me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif (since I am Pangea and have the 2.12 patch). I must have logged in to the server from the wrong dom2 copy (I kept an unpatched Version when I upgraded). Still, if no one has any complaints within 24 hours, please kill the game Esben.
