Mmm, Gryphin, now we are curious: What exactly did you tell Saxon to do?

Gryphin · #**942** June 3rd, 2002, 06:06 PM

Um, I just said "be honest and funny"

tesco samoa · #**943** June 3rd, 2002, 11:55 PM

Saxon. I would have mentioned to her duing one of the 11 calls that i was not interested.

Unless of course you want to go out for some Cous-Cous ( I like that )

I was a veggie for 5 years... but i missed fish...(Tuna)

Still ate Lobster , mussels etc... ( Veggies seem to think insects are mammals ....)

Anyone here had any EMU ?? or Ostrich ??

On a serious side.

My friend slapshot cannot play in the upcoming bash game... Terrible ... his house burned down on the weekend ( Those in TO will know what I am talking about).

I have not talked to him yet but i know that his family is safe.

They lost everything.

So if you don't see me around for a few days it because i am busy...

Back to non serious

Those from this thread who have not signed up for the bash game please do so......

Take care ...

I too was a veggie but for only 2 years. Way to tough to meld into society and not accept a steak now and then, the tuna was a secret need I though I only had!!!!

I am truely sorry for your friends plight. Can I help in any way (rescue diver personality talking, 'Do Not Ask' for this side of me in an SE IV game! (unless you need it of course)).

Also, may I try to convince my (even, is that possible?) older brother in Japan to join? He's about as old as Mac (WoW), and a great sport! Not to mention an ex-Marine officer with a soft heart for real people, and a dependable gamer. And he love pizza! He'd even buy some for the whole cantina in Tigga's absense. (I hope he orders a pepperoni, tuna and black olive, my favorite!)

In regards to vegetarianism:
Yuk! You can't enjoy food if there isn't a hunk of animal flesh to tear into! Well, not necessarily literally, but the meat needs to be there. Otherwise, the food just tastes/seems unbalanced.

Mac:
What does that mean? Do you not believe me?

TS:
I hope that they all made it out to safety and were able to avoid injuries.

Tesco, Give Slapshot and his family my condolences, and if there is anything he or they need please let me know, tell him, whenever he feels up to joining back in he more then welcome.

I.Fyron, just hmmmmmmm

(seriously, I just couldn't think of a come-back

)

Chardo Mon, Its ok with me, but Tesco has final say since he is the host, You mean there is actualy people out there older then me??? why, that is most gratifying, EAT YOUR HEART OUT TIGGA......

Gryphin, have you ever thought about becoming a love doctor on talk radio???? I'll be your manager,

Saxon, you young whipper snapper, it seems that the women there in Kenya are of strange breed, Maybe take applications lst, review, do back ground checks before you ask them out.

or ask for a transfer....

My Daughter has become a veggy eater, as for me, just give me a good Prime Rib, Medium rare, sour cream on the potato......

just some ideas a slowly recovering mac

Tesco. tried to upload my empire on PBW site, it said "not a player or can't upload now", is site down again or what.. want to make sure its not something I'm doing, you know me and these infernal machines.... let me know tks

Also I do have several SE4 questions..
1. in the player set up - under general details,
you have the design name files list, just exaxtly what do these do and what are they for???
2. same area. You have set minister style, aggressive, neutral or defensive. In regards to the ai, what exactly is the difference if you pick one of these or just leave blank, is there any difference in the play, If you set the ai to bloodthirsty or one of the others, do these also have an effect on the ai player, what happens in same circumstance if you pick say bloodthristy but do not pick a minister style??

Now I'm really confused, I just went back to the PBW site and it shows I'm ready for turn, so did my empire go thru or not?????

just some ideas mac

1. That is the list of ship names that you can use when designing ships.

2. Yes, there is a difference in the Minister Styles. However, it is best to disable the AI (via the button in the Ministers tab of the Empire Options window in the game). If you really want to know, the behaviors make the AI act as they sound.

Also, the Demeanors in the Description tab do not do anything in the game. They are merely an indication of how the player will act or how the AI for the race is designed to act. There are no hard-coded functions associated with them.

Happiness Type makes a huge difference on what makes your people happy. Always select Peaceful. With Bloodthirsty, your people get angry when you colonize planets, and when you make most treaties. Neutral is always a bad idea. Whatever you do, your people get angry.

mac5732 · #**949** June 4th, 2002, 05:59 AM

Fyron, tks, still little confused on the ship name thing, when you open up the window, it shows stuff like brazil.txt, etc, what happens if you clik on them? If i clik on them that means it gives special names.., still slightly confused, its the age thing you know

In regards to the ministers,
also, so the best thing when setting up an ai player is not to set one of these 3 options, just leave alone, or go ahead and pick one, I know about not using them for my race

learning mac (but its a slow process)

It doesn't do anything until you start the game and go to the ship design window. There, in the names field, there is a downwards pointing arrow. Clicking on it will bring up a scrolling list of names that you can select for the ship. The names in this list are determined by which file that you selected when you created your empire. If you want to look at the design names files beforehand, (warning, technical mumbo-jumbo coming up

) they are located in the Dsgnname folder located in the folder where you installed SE4. Each text (.txt) file in there is one of the name Groups that you can select to use in the game. You can put more files in there (and even make one of your own), and they will be available when you create an empire. It does not matter if other people in the game have the names file that you use, because it is only accessed when you go to design a ship.
