Are you tough enough to be the "King of the Hill"?

I think the problem is that you've Balance mod Version 1.1 which uses 1.86 data files. Version 1.2 uses 1.91 data files.

That is possible. I'll have to check later when I get home. I've done several Balance games in the Last 3 or 4 months...surely this kind of problem would have come up then. Also, strange that it allows me to pull the .gam file down and process it here on my 1.91 system at work (but that could just be a .plr file problem).

I apologize (as I know everyone was excited to get playing) and I'll redo the turn tonight. After all, if the both of you are having a problem, there must be something wrong on my end. Primitive might be up in time to see the replacement file and test. Around 6:45 pm EDT.

What about slide rules, are they allowed?

In the name of Primitive, and being his manager, I have to stand up to such vile negociations! Asmala is debating your fair rules, even if the word of the referee cannot be disputed during, or before, a match.

Besides, it is my belief he is mocking you by his petty request, which would qualify as "insulting, or using verbal abuse of any sort, the referee or hindering the normal course of the game". As such, I hereby ask you to give Asmala a yellow card (or something along these lines; let's not worry about the colour), which will allow Primitive to remove Asmala, the offending party, from the game during five turns of Primitive's chosing.

With all due respect, Alneyan, in the name of his client, Primitive.

*Gnarls* *They* are already plotting. That rule cannot be fear, as while Primitive is forbidden to strike as he wills, Asmala merely needs to put his calculator back in the cloakroom. It isn't as if Slynky doesn't know that Asmala can quote a formula in a heartbeat, and setting up a retroseries is a walk in a part for him (calculators or not).

I wouldn't be surprised to know that Slynky has been bribed. Tsk. As if I would stoop to such base tricks! I had but thought of rigging the game by asking Primitive to lose, but even the prospects of a lot of money for him weren't enough to secure his agreement. I could have easily won a few grands this way, but no, Primitive spoke of "pride", "honour" and "honesty". His mistake I guess. *Shrugs and goes back among the other spectators*

Please forgive me for my silliness. Now back to your regularly scheduled programmes.

KOTH Game

Replacement game uploaded.

Yes, Asmala, you were right. Still had 1.1 instead of 1.2 (though I'm still scratching my head ).

My goal, in setting up important games, is fairness. Then, an interesting map. I just want to say this map is interesting and it was genuinely rolled up under Balanced Spiral (small).

Enjoy!

PS: Primitive is still Online and hopefully can let me know right away if there is (yet) another problem.

[Slynky]

Yes, my friend, Alneyan, I see your point . However, I must refrain from taking a "yellow card" action as (1) I'm sure the insult went right over the Primitive One's head and (2) the referee DOES allow verbal heckling/insults (because the audience enjoys them so much ).

Game looks OK Slynky, no problem there.

As for your other post; I'm 6'6, very little goes over my head

Asmala can bring a slide ruleR if he wants. The ruleS however, should be fixed and not sliding

LOL... . Nice to see such one of Primitive ways having a gift of humor.

[edit] - To apologize once again.
My best friend, Lord Chane, is 6'8 (so, I can imagine a bit what it's like standing next to you).

Apologize for what ?

If there is something you need to apologize for, that went straight over my head

I really hate putting up a game that won't run. I really like doing the important games for people because I think I spend a lot of time making sure players get a fair start. And then the darn thing doesn't run .

I imagine everyone is as anxious as I am to see where they are starting and get a look at the map that they will have to decipher to win. So, it's a letdown when the darn thing won't run!

And, BTW, once more, this is a spiral map that's a bit different. Hope it adds to the game instead of taking away.

Keep us posted, guys!

That must be why I feel dwarfed every time I happen to be in the same game as Primitive. I am only one feet smaller after all. *Gnarls*

Speaking of this game Slynky, may I give you a genuine advice? I hope you have a pretty good insurance; if not, you should consider leaving the ring as soon as the match has started. I happen to be the referee for the first king game between Primitive and Asmala (AKA the Pairs game), and I can tell you being the referee isn't a leisure there.

In fact, while Primitive understands the rules well, Asmala seems to have confused the honourable referee (myself) with his competitor, Primitive. You should make sure he knows the goal is to knock down his opponent, and not to maim the referee in any way. At least, this game should be much more relaxing for me than that other one where I am "in the way".

Thanks for settings up the game Slynky! Shrapnel forums were down when I was Lastly Online so I'm posting this only now.

Good, I've my slide ruleR with me.

As for the King game, it's turn 10 and we haven't met yet. So, not much happened.
