Simultaneous game issue

Fryon.

Thread: Simultaneous game.

My post regards to a method I use for saving a Simultaneous game before ending a turn so one may go back to that turn at any point in his or her game. This does have merits. As I pointed out in that post.

Example when to save before an event:
Opening a (out a) Home System Warp.
Attacking an AI Planet.
Prior to a major AI battle.

Also asking Geo to help out in what I was posting, to check for it accuracy and substance.

In which a very informative and professional exchange transpired between Geo, Rutha and myself.

Grand Lord Vito was helped by my Post in his No Warp Game.

Inspiring another exchange of enlightening Posts.

My Posts to Rutha and Geo were Polite and Professional.

A little saving throw wittiness was attempted by myself with Geo and Grandpa Kim; both of whom I have the utmost respect for.

Yes, thanks Grandpa Kim

I am Irish, and a little slow

With a name like O’Sullivan, trust me I am Irish. And I am slow. I can’t spell or type ~.
Up until February 2003 very little experience posting.
But still not racisms.
So far, just my Ethnicity

This is where it should of ended.

Fryon: Excuse me? What kind of nonsense is that?

With your posting experience; you asked a question.

Assuming we were part of a family here or associates in the very least, at that point.

In my inexperience; I tried an attempt, to be yet again, witty.
Hence the rough passage from pre 1944 Popular history of Ireland novel.
Thick refereeing to Persistence in me. This has not been a bad quality, for the most part. In my life.

I will ask you not to post any racist jokes in the future. They are always offensive.

Understanding, that I was now; not entertaining and having a good time with an associate, and this was about to be escalated in to something very unfriendly.

In my desire to defuse what was about to come. I posted a public apology.

By JLS:

Understood.

I was answering your question, I did not realize at the time were you were heading.
I was poking fun of my self, only.

I Meant no disrespect to others.

It won't happen again.

In your experience in posting. You follow up with a statement.

You now call me a Racist…

Even after my public apology to the Irishmen, Women and all on this forum.

This is a little brutal Fryon.

Is there no reason to show myself a little quarter. When in the essence of my original post was an successful attempt to have some benefit to our Community here on this thread and forum.

JLS, on behalf of all women and Irish, of which I am neither, appology accepted.

Fyron, drop it. No more out of you in this thread that isn't on topic. If you want to continue this irrelevant and distracting tangent contact JLS via PM, please.

EDIT: And that applies to everyone else as well. JLS made an offhand attempt at self depreciating humor. If you can't see it for what it was then take it up with him personally. Spare us all the constant bickering.

Will any of those Windows Power Toys/Tools, released conditional by MS; that give you split screen capabilities for 95 or 98 be of any help?

This way allowing another to work in there desktop environment. While your se4 environment will be minimized and possibly password protected.

Hmmmm....

It seems that most if not all players would like a "temporary" savegame feature.

Has anyone approached MM on this? And if they have responded, what is their position?

[Fyron]

I will drop it, but first I need to clarify "that line". It did not mean the whole thread, it meant only the particular line of Posts about the issue. I didn't think that term was unclear, but I guess it can be. And, it is always nice to see things I say blown out of proportion. Back to modding land.

Yes, I know I for one requested it loudly during the original beta, the Gold beta, and some other times along the way. It was also a fairly popular item on the list of requested enhancements by Gold beta-testers.

I would also welcome the possibility to save during a simultaneous game. I only play solo games and a while back i changed to simultaneous games because of the ability to repeat orders. Invaluable for mine and sat laying to keep the micromanagement down.
I still remember the horror when i discovered i couldn't save my game half way.

I hope SEV allows saving. Before i go back to the current game, i always copy the savegame over to another directory out of fear that the savegame might become corrupted. In turn based this isn't such a problem because i have plenty of other save games lying around.
