PBW "newbie game"

[Phoenix-D]

OK, slight problem here guys.

My main comptuer just went splat. It can run for ~45 seconds, then stops. If I turn it off, then turn it back on, I get no video signal unless I remove/replace the VGA cable.. then I get the 45 second problem again.

This makes playing SE4 rather difficult. Just to make things interesting, I don't remember my password!

Found the problem. My GeForce 2 is on the fritz it seems. The AI may have to take over for a day or two.

Sorry to hear about your problems, Phoenix. I hope you will be able to solve them soon.
Am a little bit confused over something: turns are processed on the PBW server, not on the machine of the host player, right?
All you have as host is a master password and the ability to add/replace players?

Are you saying you will let the AI run your race for two days on Newbie I and II?
Although that would ensure we maintain the large number of turns/day (especially at night it seems), be aware that I've heard the AI can really mess up your empire...

PBW runs the turns, correct.

The thing it, it's also on a timer. Miss a turn, and the AI plays that turn for you. Time limit is 24 hours.

In any case, I *THINK* I have the problem solved.

I'm still hoping Baal will post his views on the battle we fought :-)

Phoenix, good to see you're back in the game.

Sneak attacks are best.

No one is ever your ally or even friendly.

That's my view.

Baal and Dragonlord - You two guys are going good. Almost 300k points - compared to me in third with 120k. It's going to be one hell of a war.
