Tesco, I loaded, after much fiting with my nemisis computer, the TDM-ModPack without any problems. What I found I did wrong, was I forgot to remove the word none in the path and type in TDM-ModPack. Once i did that, I loaded it from the CD, unzipped and i went in fine. When I clik on it I get Playing from TDM-Modpack Directory..
I would ck with Mephisto on the mod pack

Saxon, looking foreward to the Gnu Kissing escapade, 10x14 pls

just some ideas mac

Something too tough for even Buffy to beat up? That sounds pretty tough, like some of my cooking.

I have received the first turn of the game and look forward to taking it home. Chances are good that I will end up sharing the system with some tangle haired feline with an unusual lust for undead nuns, but such are the trials of being a galactic conqueror.

Mac, give me a couple of days to work on the photos, I need to learn some things about digital photos and the internet. I used to think I was an up to date kind of fellow, but now I am out of date and without a date, so you will have to bear with me.

I would like to give a very big thanks to Mephisto and all the others who helped get this set up, especially given the tricky things we ran into in the setup.

Serious question - I will hopefully be able to download the first turn of the game tonight (I assume it comes via email) - we have a sensible turn 'turnaround' time of 48 hours but it is likely that I will not always be able to hit this

What happens? do I email Mephisto who then plays my round or something??

Yuk, remind me never to pop in and see you in Nairobi - let me guess, Meerkat Souffle? Wildebeest a la King? Rhino a la orange avec trouffles? testicle of Lion in a aspic sauce?

. Chances are good that I will end up sharing the system with some tangle haired feline with an unusual lust for undead nuns

Mate, get your facts right - cats are never tangle haired - we always look tip top and great -if you are in the same system as the fabulous furry fighting felines of the Growltigga Alliance - be prepared to be used as Catsan

As for the undead nun remark - Mrs GT might be one step away from being Nosferatu, but she has never been a nun

such are the trials of being a galactic conqueror

you missed out the key words 'follicly insipid beardy weirdy galactic conqueror'

I would like to give a very big thanks to Mephisto and all the others who helped get this set up, especially given the tricky things we ran into in the setup

I second this - Mephisto might be a donkey but he ain't no ***

Let this be the start of a glorious meld of roleplaying and SEIVG lunacy

Mmm, I guess you have not updated your TDM-ModPacks to the 3.10 Version. Anyway, here is a patch to solve the problem.

Patch.exe

Tigga,

Should you ever drop by, you will not have to face my cooking, in fact, you would be quite well fed. Reel back to the start of our placid and serene relationship and you may remember stating that I was an evil imperialist who needed chucking off the Boards. The reason? My cook Freida.

Freida has saved me from my own cooking and does a lovely job of feeding me. We rarely have game meat as it is usually, well, gamey and tough. Besides, I feel a bit guilty eating gnu for dinner; they are such good kissers.

On a more serious note, I thought that we were on a turn around that happened when the Last person uploaded their files. However, it also says 48 hours turn around, so I am confused. Not having played PBW before, I could be wrong, but I think that means that we can not miss a turn (good) but we do have to wait for everyone (slower). Or does it mean it will process every 48 hours or when everyone sends their turn, which ever comes first? Can one of the PBW vets help me out?

My other question is, do we need the TDM Modpack if we have no alien races? Or does it help with the ministers when we miss a turn?

Thanks!

The game will only be processed when every turn is up however it will nag the "Last" player to upload its file after 48 hours have passed (in fact it will nag you after 44 hours that the regular turn time is supposed to be 48 hours). If you do not upload your turn, nothing will happen.
You don't need the TDM-ModPack as all the Ai scrip files are on the PBW server.

Ahh the answer to my problem. The game states that we will use Version 3.0 of the TDM.

Not 3.1.

Thanks Mephisto. I will update the tdm when I get home tonight. and send the turn then.

To everyone else.

I look forward to the game
