What effect have the victory points? Do they determine who wins? Do they spread dominion? The dominion doc says that victory points spread dominion as if they were a temple and you had starting dominion 4 -- i.e. every turn they have a 40% chance of generating a dominion point.

But does that apply in this game? Or only in games where the victory condition is victory points?

They spread dominion regardless of the victory settings. I think they count as 5 points of spread no matter what your dominion strength.

My e-mail is currently down, and has been for two days. I expect to have it working again sometime today.

No update on when your mail will come back online?

Zooko · #76 March 26th, 2005, 11:54 AM

I'm sorry. I can send mail, and by the end of today I'll be able to receive mail.

Meanwhile, the Mac laptop that I used to play dom2 on is broken, so hopefully I can just put the .trn file onto my Linux desktop and then make my move?? I hope that works.

It should work just fine; the hard part was getting Dominions to run on Linux.

Okay, I'm downloading chandrea2 from the thread on this forum. I hope the version I get is compatible with our game.

Im going to be honest with you. This game is going nowhere. Panther and I have seriously considered finding some real opponents to play against if you guys dont clean up your act. Forgive my bluntness, but its taken us 2 weeks do play the first 3 turns. At this rate Ill be married with 6 kids before we finish.

I'm sorry about the various delays. I now have e-mail &cetera working, so I don't anticipate more such delays.

My laptop hard drive crashed, you see.

I had been intending to send a message apologizing for the extended delay.

I think you were unnecessarily rude. You could have asked for us to play more quickly in a polite way, and it would have been at least as effective as asking in a rude way.

If you don't think you're going to enjoy this game, then by all means do something else with your time. If you do think that you are going to enjoy this game, then I'm glad to continue playing, and please be more polite next time.

Regards,

Zooko
