Hi Pvk!

Well, yesterday I must have tried to access your site about 20 times and got the "Time-out" message.

First try today and I'm in.

Yeah, pardon, the web server was down due to power issues.

Downloaded the mod discription. And it prints out to 16 pages! Going to keep me busy for a while reading it.


No question about it, PvK, you are to be complimented on the dedication and work you have put into this mod!

What I meant was that out of 15 or 16 players in a game I am playing, guess who is ranked 15th or 16th?

Thanks! Well, you may be behind, but score can be an inaccurate measure of standing, particularly in Proportions. For example, ship tonnage plays a large part in the score, regardless of what is in the tonnage, so your opponents might have a lot of colony ships and starliners, while you have expensive warships which would eat their fleets for lunch. Or, you could be behind. Fortunately, though, falling behind is generally not fatal the way it is in the unmodded game, mainly because the production and research rates tend to be somewhat equalized by the homeworlds and trade.

The reference to 4,000 and 3,998 was just a way of saying I am not in any way familiar with the nuances of the mod. It was an indirect way of saying I needed help.

Now to take a look at the "readme.txt in the Proportions directory".

Thanx for the help. Everything's cool.

Glad to help. The readme.txt is pretty much the same thing as is found on the web site - only the bit at the top is different.
