Slick, condensed other thread for the next Faq edition (You know better then me where to place it):
To avoid having the AI mess up your turns during simultaneous multiplayer games when you miss a turn, always do this:
In the game, press the "Empire Status" button (The crown icon). On the pop-up screen press the "Ministers" button, the next to top button on the right.
Scroll to the bottom of the list and check the box saying "AI should not make changes to the empire during a Simultaneous Game".
When playing a simultaneous game, if you miss a turn and haven't checked the box "AI should not make changes to the empire during a Simultaneous Game" in the ministers option the AI will run the turn for you.
Due to the sequence in which events take place the Messages the AI send will block your message sending function the next turn.
So if the Ai decides to send a message or reply to the "Terran Empire", the next turn that you play the game will say "Message already sent" for that empire and you cannot send any new message until another turn has been processed.
Concerning the SLick-Fyron discussion. I agree with you both on this one
Fyron> You are a fast poster and sometimes your Posts do come across as rude or should I say pompous..
In this particular post, the "Oh, well" can imply that someone isn't doing his homework, is sub-standard and such things. I see that it can also mean alot of other things...
Slick> In this particular case I don't think it was particularly rude.
It's not only the speaker who has to think of how what he says is interpreted, it's also up to the listener/reader to try to interpret what he means.
In the Fyron case I belive it's easy to have a bias when interpreting his Posts
Try to re-read this one in a positive way.
(I can butt off and mind my own buisness, but I'm not in that mood right now
