Re: Perpetuality - The 62 Player MegaGame (Signup)
Don't sweat it. I think anyone that had 200% taxes at the time was incorrectly flagged as a "cheater".

Re: Perpetuality - The 62 Player MegaGame (Signup)
The "cheaters" have actually done things that are within the games parameters. The host machine just wasnt able to match up their apparent actions with the apparent results. No one got anything that would look like what they could get if they actually edited their files.

Re: Perpetuality - The 62 Player MegaGame (Signup)
OTOH, if I *were* going to cheat by editing my files, I wouldn't take so much that I'd get caught, would I? That'd be pretty stupid.

Re: Perpetuality - The 62 Player MegaGame (Signup)
I actually did erase both my .2h and .trn file and was still labeled a "cheater", so maybe it flagged people who did
erase their .2h and .trn files?  |

Hurry up LeSquide and Hurst. You only have about ten minutes left.

Everything seems to be running smoothly, by the way-I can see and attack indeps.

Re: Perpetuality - The 62 Player MegaGame (Signup)
Ok, I am getting frustrated. If you check the graphs you will see EA Vanheim spiraling dismally downward in income, way, way below everyone else. This is because I have gotten hit with bad random events in my home province of EA Vanheim (90) every single turn. This turn it was a hurricane.
I don't know what the odds are on that, but it seems pretty ridiculous to me. I took Order 3 and also Misfortune 3. The levels rise at different rates and my home province is at Order 1 and Misfortune 3 right now. I have never seen anything like this - four turns in a row, all in my home province.
I guess it's possible I am just that unlucky. Can anyone help me figure out if I took bad advice going Order 3 Misfortune 3? I've done it before and never had problems like this. Am I just being paranoid thinking I picked up some bug which gives me a bad event in my home province every turn?
I would like to keep playing. Unrest is up to 46. I have lost a good percentage of my population. I don't see how I can recover. I don't want to have to give up on this fun game. Maybe eventually I will stop getting random negative events in EA Vanheim every turn.
Many thanks to Velusion and to others who have contributed to this monster game. I think it's really cool of you to host it.
