TG contest question

[Atrocities]

You guys are not alone. I too stopped at that point.

How many of you are considering entering the contest?

[alasyr]

But what would stop someone from creating a small galaxy with 10 planets for each player (all warps connected and other thing from rules), saving that map and start a new game using required config but using a map previosly created.I mean how can you check is map used been created especialy for that game or loaded, it's small, it has all warp points connected, so in every way conditions are forfilled.

Good point, Alasyr. I guess there's nothing stopping you from creating your own valid map. I just assumed that you had to generate it during game creation. Boy, that would have saved me so much time! Imagine how long it took to get a small galaxy with 39 systems and no black holes or nebulae. ARGH!

I would join if I could find it on the web page. Do you have to join first to have access the the SE IV tourny? Let me know

Ok, I just sent my game files for what I thought was going to be my Last entry in the contest. (Ringworlds! )

Couple of questions for others entering the contest.

Are you all posting your score as well as sending in your files? I would have thought there would be some higher scores on there by now, verified or not.

Did anyone have trouble sending a single zip file for their game? My Last entry I had to split into two zip files to get it sent. Just wondering if that was my problem or twingalaxies.

I just assumed that a loarge number of ppl were not posting their scores so they didn't give a target for others to shoot at. I heard the tournament wasn't getting a lot of hits though, so maybe that isn't the case...

Well, I'll post my score in a little bit, I'm closing in on turn 100. There's much less for me to do now that I've built ringworlds everywhere, and have everything colonized, so I ought to be done soon. Now I just have to make sure I get my max pop bonus on every planet.

You can look at stuff without joining, you just can't submit a score. Click on the Space Empires IV banner in the middle of the main webpage, and on the right hand side of the next page you'll see a link to register.
