ATTN all players in PBW games with ekolis (esp. Tesco and Gandalph)
 

Just in case you didn't notice my post in the PBW forum, I won't be available for a few days - my computer's messed up and I need to get the CD drive replaced to start it up again (long story)... OK, so I could install SE4 on the family computer, but then I'd have to spend forever downloading all the necessary mods and shipsets for all the games I'm in, so I'll just wait until it gets fixed to play again. I'm addressing this particularly to Tesco because I know about his blacklist policy if you miss more than 4 turns without notice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

edit: changed title to get Gandalph's attention http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

You Sir are a gentleman and a school type guy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

I have asked the players for a 72 hour turn for the next two turns... And remember you can send me the info and Iwill play your next turn for you.

But since georgig is down as well......

game on hold

Well, I got the replacement CD drive today, and it didn't help one bit... It looks like this might take a while, so I was thinking I might want to just install SE4 on the family computer and download all those mods and shipsets, except that would take FOREVER... Last check my SE4 directory was well over half a gig, albeit a lot of it mods I installed once, didn't like, and never deleted... And to be honest, I'm kind of enjoying my little vacation from SE4... now I really know how addicted I was, I have time for other things now... mostly playing Super Smash Bros. on the N64 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif God that game is fun, but I still want the Gamecube Version, my brother says it's 20 times better http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif So I guess I'll enjoy this little "vacation" - I hope it doesn't become permanent (I hear the Dell support people really like to erase your hard drive http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif ) - and see what happens...

Oh, and I'd better make another note, this one to Gandalph... I was in the middle of a rather complicated trade deal with the Chaos Anarchy in "Strange Races"; turning my empire over to AI control would probably totally screw everything up. (It involved Georgig giving me some planets so I could build facilities on them for him, and knowing the AI, it'll almost certainly not build the facilities, scrap most of the ones that are already there, fill the planets with mineral miners, and hold on to them for dear life http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif ) So it's not just for my sake but also for Georgig's that I ask that this game be put on hold until either I'm able to play again or you find a replacement player - maybe SJ would be interested; my merchant empire is inspired by his Phantom Syndicate! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Edit: To players in P&N on PBW, take 2 - no, my computer isn't fixed, it's just that I just happened to have SE4 Classic and P&N installed on the family computer as well... some of the shipsets are missing, but I can download them or just live without them for the time being...

Strange Races will go on ALPU.

Thanks!
I might want to ask about Tug of War too, but that one's probably hopeless http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

please keep me informed... If this is going to strech two weeks.. I will have to take a vote in the game... If they wish to wait then we will.

If not... I will have to play a few turns for you.

I know you understand this... So just send me an email

Well well well...

The bad news is, they DID tell me to wipe my hard drive...

The good news is, it fixed my problem http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

But don't worry, pretty soon I should be in the swing of things again - I realized that as long as I don't go about the shipset thing all at once but just download the most important ones(like the ones I'm using for my own empires! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ) first and leave the rest for later then it'll be manageable.
