Well we have 4 players aready... Wow... Good turn around for sign up...

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

I've applied to join the game...

Are you allowing Intel? How about putting more than 100 mines in a sector? Boot-out policy? Any Banned techs?

I'm all for the no tech-trading. But how will you enforce the 'no fake captures'? This is going to be very tricky!

What did o'l Edly get up to in your game then? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

a quicky, why its not the Last patch?

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

There is intel.

What ever 1.49 stock is for units per sector... I believe it is 100

Boot policy ... Miss many turns and your gone and Banned from future games... ( if you do not give reason ).

No Fake Captures... Well the players can enforce that one... As if they see something fishy then they will ask the players... If the answer is not good enough then I get to join in. But I do not think that will happen due to the players who are playing this game. They are realiable and trustworthy players.

Ed has a habit of just droping out of games without any prior reason... WHich leaves everyone in a bind... So I just will not allow that to happen.

As the goal is for everyone to enjoy pbw. And stuff can ruin it for everyone. SO I have a Banned list. ANd I have a thread here and at pbw where I posted what I expected out of every player. If that is not met. THen they join the Banned list. So those who are left playing games are the ones who play the game and enjoy it.

And Why 1.49 Stock.... There are not many Pre Gold games anymore... So I thought I would run one for the 1.49 crowd...

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

Hate to be annoying, but, er, what's a fake capture? is it two players agreeing to "trade" a ship by declaring war and presenting a vulnerable ship for easy capture? Or is it that there is no setting to prevent ship trades, so people trade them in sectors with boarding ships to make it look like a real capture?

Sorry to bother y'all.

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

Well I cannot stop that. But it would not be in the spirit of the game. The 'Easy Capture' ( thanks Like that and will use that ) , It will be up to the players to not do that. If it does happen and it is proven then the players are Banned and on the ban list. But the chances of that happening are quite slim. As people will be joining this game to get away from that.... cause they can trade in other games... I have faith in the players.

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

Whats a fake capture?

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

Re Fake captures - I meant BOTH of the scenarios outlined by Gwaihir below
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">So I meant anything that is not a genuine, captured-in-heat-of-battle transfer of technology.

Here's another suggestion that I implemented in my latest game (ConventionalWarfare_1_49). Restrict Trade-generating relationships to two per player. I find this has made people much more careful about how they make and break alliances, as well as stopping massive trade income and almost-dead 'zombie' empires with huge 'virtual' trade revenues.

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

anything that is not a real capture... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

Rigelian Yep your right...

I have never ran into that problem with trading empires... Seems all my games break down to wars quite quickly

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

Ok, I have never played it multiplayer, dont ask me why I havent earlier.

I did register for the Game, and well, used Jordanian Empire as a name ... had no clue what to take.
Ive read the faq on pbm site, but I'm not a 100 percent sure on anything yet.
Do I need to create my Empire, and send to you?
And the empire images, can those be the standard ones?

Ive read all the rules and so forth, and hope Someone will soon ally me under protectorate treaty http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

If anyone can give me any info I need to do this .. maybe where I can read good detail of how this is going to work I will apprecieate very much. Ive got till 25th I believe to get everything ready, and hope to be long done before then.

Thanx

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

Did anyone reply to TrXtR privately about his questions? Assuming not, here are some answers.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You need to upload your empire to the seiv site, rather than send to the host. He will get them all as a package using admin options that you cannot see.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Using the standard pictures - you can do so, but still select them as you upload your empire - they will be under 'Stock Shipset XXX'. This is so other players know what you're using and can avoid a clash.

My suggestion to you, if you have not already done so, is to play a simultaneous-movement game against the computer before joining this one. The mechanics are quite different.

Oh, and once you are playing, its generally not a good idea to confess newbie status - you might get fried by some ruthless bastard.... like me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

I sent an email...

Did not hear back.

Also this game is almost full.....

So if you want one of the Last 4 spots hop to it!

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

Hi Everybody. I am Truly sorry for the delay.
I have uploaded my file now. And I think everything should be fine.

Thanx for not kicking me out.

Also, I will notify the admin, but next month,
there will be a weekend when I'll be away.
Only 3 days. And further I think everything should be fine.

Please note that for Subjugation treaty applications, I will gladly accept. Just contact me when we meet. I'm sure that me subjugating you will be to your and my advantage, but ofcourse, you might dissagree http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif .

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

>3. First turn will be alpu. To iron out any >problems with empires etc.... THis will be your >only chance of getting a restart.

What means alpu?

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

Ha Ha.

Ok The game will start on Friday.

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">"After Last player Uploads", that is to say when all have submitted a turn.

As for subjugation.. I have never been a fan of that. If you're powerful enough to demand it, you're powerful enough to walk in and take ALL their economy.. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

Game has started x2 ( Good Luck to all, Looks like a good collection of players. )

As for subjugation.. I have never been a fan of that. If you're powerful enough to demand it, you're powerful enough to walk in and take ALL their economy..

He He... but there is the happy touchie feelie feeling when you subjugate another empire

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

We need a replacement player for this game.

Turn 2

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

Anyone reading this? The board has been static for a long time now. As of turn 34, there is a fair amount of warfare in the East and West. The South appears peaceful, the North we do not have any information from...

Is there any audience for galactic reports, propaganda etc here? 8-)

Re: Replacement Player needed PBW : 1.49 Sweet Game #1
 

You think it was a long time back then. Since the PBW forums have been down for a week or so, and since this page has been referred to as the forum for Sweet Game #1, I just thought I'd pop in and see what's happening. This answers my question. NOTHING!!
