new game

wgabrie · November 15, 2003, 11:30

I'm looking for three players and someone to setup. I'm looking for a fast paced game, so only sign up if you can keep a decent turn rate.

I need to practice, who wants to be my first victim?

Fosse · November 15, 2003, 11:31

AC or AX?

If AC I'm interested.

Net Warrior · November 15, 2003, 11:41

SMAC? Fast pace! Sign me up

Darsnan · November 15, 2003, 12:12

Heah wgabrie,

long time no see, and Welcome back!

Anyways, I know that AgentSubversion has been looking to start a SMAC game as well, with him playing the Uni's. Since I had volunteered to CMN that one, why if he decides to join this one, why I can be the CMN and set up the game, if you like. FYI in case your interested.

Net Warrior · November 15, 2003, 12:30

Anyone interested in accelerated start or blind research?

Minute Mirage · November 15, 2003, 12:36

I would be interested in a fast paced 4-player game playing with the University. However, I'm willing to let AgentSubversion play instead of me if wishes to, especially seeing that he's from the USA like the rest of you. I wouldn't want to be slowing you guys down with my different time zone.

I would recommend against both of these. First, a CMN can give you a modified accelerated start by giving more starting units - say 3-4 CP's, 3 Scouts, and 3 Formers. Secondly, for a Blind Research game, why these go on forever it seems (one of mine is almost 2 years old now). My $0.02.

I don't care wether we play AC or AX, whichever one everyone has.

Since D has offered to setup the game, I'll trust his experiance in world settings.

Also, it doesn't matter if you're outside the USA, I think that if you're placed in proper order it will speed up the game somewhat.

Googlie · November 15, 2003, 19:37

I'm up for another game, especially if Darsnan is setting it up!!

Any faction, any conditions

Darsnan · November 15, 2003, 20:42

All right, since this is wgabrie's thread, why I will let him decide how many players he wants in this game.
My son has a chess tournament Sunday afternoon, so if I get feedback before then, why I should be able to sketch out the game on paper during this 5 hour block, then incorporate it Sunday evening, and start playtesting early this coming week. Game should then be available by the end of next weekend. FYI.

AgentSubversion · November 15, 2003, 21:35

In like flint, i'll play any faction, though i'd like PUT or Cyber Conc.

Be interrogating you all shortly.

Right - (it helps to read the thread fully)

I'll back out and let the first 3 takers join the game

Darsnan · November 15, 2003, 23:24

OK, so we're probably going to have 4 players in this game. At your earliest convenience, plese E-Mail me your SMAC Faction preferences and password preferences, and I will set the game up accordingly.

Currently I have:

wgabrie: undecided

Fosse: undecided

Net Warrior : undecided

AgentSubversion: University (per PM)

Please update me accordingly via this thread.

Net Warrior · November 15, 2003, 23:49

Darsnan,
I don't see your email address. I'll play Morgan. I'll email you my password when I hear from you. Mine is billci54@hotmail.com.

wgabrie · November 16, 2003, 01:04

I'm not sure who I'll be yet. I'll let everyone else choose first so I know which way the game is swinging.

AgentSubversion · November 16, 2003, 03:23

Bah hahahaha
I'll eat your FACE
good luck cats

Googlie, I'd be interested in starting another game with you, if you're willing. I fear I might not be quite in your league, but I'd love to learn by playing against a veteran.

AgentSubversion · November 16, 2003, 06:11

I'd like my hand at a veteran as well
Young and old can fall

wgabrie is a veteran. He's just looking for a tune-up game to get back into playing shape - sort of like Mike Tyson was when he got out of prison....

Fosse · November 16, 2003, 10:20

I'll take the Peacekeepers. e-mail is xxxkylebenanderson@hotmail.comxxx. Remove the xxx. I'll send you my password when I know your e-mail.

And also... Like Net Warrior I'd definatly be interested in blind research. Sounds like good times.

Fosse

wgabrie · November 16, 2003, 12:01

Ok, I'll be the Gaians.

E-mail: wgabrie@yahoo.com

AgentSubversion · November 16, 2003, 15:40

I'm in for University
profile has email

Darsnan · November 17, 2003, 05:01

My E-Mail address for sending passwords/ EC "donations" for sweetened starting positions, etc. is:

xyxydnandal@twcny.rr.comxyxy

I drew out the map Sunday, and it looks pretty good on paper. The working title for this game is "The Ghosts Amongst Us", however since this is your game, if you all want a different name, let me know for when I post the thread. Game should be ready by this coming weekend. FYI.
Finally, since you are giving me the Hive, Spartans, and Believers as AI's to work with, why how juiced up do you want me to make them?

Hercules · November 17, 2003, 09:13

Welcome back Wgabrie.

I 'd be interested in a game with Googlie

wgabrie · November 19, 2003, 18:24

Well Darsnan, I'm ready to play when you're ready. I'll leave the Ai to your imagination, unless someone has something else to add?

Darsnan · November 19, 2003, 18:34

Heah wgabrie,

I've proofed out the modified Alpha.txt file for the game, and I am approximately 70% done with the map. Should have the game finished by Saturday nite. FYI.

AgentSubversion · November 19, 2003, 22:19

First turn for the game has been sent to wgabrie. And, per the above, why I have elected to go with Directed Research - the "Ghosts" told me to....
Turn thread will be set up shortly, with the name being "The Ghosts Amongst Us". Passwords for each Faction were either E-Mailed to me, or have been selected and sent out accordingly.
