I think the Poly admins have given me a ban and a special treatment over here for a picture I uploaded by mistake and forgotten to take off. For I can't use my threads, profile, or any other functions. I can't even post to the community forum. But I could do PMs and could post in the ACDG forums including this one.

Thanks Ming if you are reading this for giving me this special treatment for the Hive really need me here and now.

Btw could I know how long the partial ban is going to be?

I may have spelled it wrong, is it called it Luft Parade? Where around June in Germany, people follow a convoy of cars playing music towards a festival - followed by many after parties.

You spelled it wrong because you tried to use a German Word

It´s the "Love Parade" - English, because it´s the biggest techno-music festival on earth. It´s cool, but too much drugs. I plan on attending in in the near future, although they want to close it down because it´s too commercial-oriented now and the fans are condemming that policy.

btw: Luft Parade translates to "Air Parade"

Thank you.

I have started to look around the forum to figure out what's going on.

Could someone direct me where and how to download and view the game.

I have not played MP before so I have no idea of the mechanics of where to find the turn files or how to download them and view the map/turn.

Mead, the only place we can download our turn right now is in the main forum, the drone's turn for us. You probably already know but here it is.

We can't attach anything in this private forum, but I believe we can upload our turn before the end turn and then put a link to it in this forum so that other people can download it. This would be the turn player's job. I don't think this turn has been posted here though.

Jamski · November 26, 2003, 06:23

Then start SMAC, select muliplayer, select hotseat/play by e-mail, select load game, and you're off.

Hi Mead, welcome to the Hive. I am the resident lurker. If anyone needs number crunching or probabilistic calculations, that is all I just about do here. Fair to say, there isn't much of that going on.

Micha: Thanks for the info. 'Air Parade' sounds good too.

Jamski · November 26, 2003, 07:28

Love Parade is EVIL EVIL EVIL!

Basically a load of teenagers drive half of Berlin insane for 3 days being "cool" and playing crappo music in the streets and walking around with blue hair.

Hello Mead!

Sorry, haven´t noticed you yet

hehe

If you manage to download the turn and do what Jamski said to open it, you will be asked to enter the password.

I hope you already know about it, but if you don´t, just PM either HongHu, Voltaire, Jamski, Vev or me. We´re the most active people around here, though any other Hive member also knows the pw, but we´re the fastest to answer

However, I hope you enjoy your new home, and now that you´re official Hiverian citizen, you have to go to the S.P.A.M. factories and contribute to the Hive!!!

(If you don´t know what I´m talking about, see Comrade HongHu´s signature

)

Have fun!

- Comrade Micha

EDIT: I just found out HongHu has erased that part of her signature

Now I´m at my room crying. Just in case anyone´s looking for me. :'(

Snowflake · November 26, 2003, 13:06

Dear Comrade, please don't cry.

Jamski · November 26, 2003, 18:06

No, cry comrade, cry

Micha · November 26, 2003, 20:11

Jamski · November 26, 2003, 20:29

You mean "Whuh-wwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaah! waaaaaah! waaaaaaaaaaaah!"

-Ja

Micha · November 26, 2003, 20:34

-Ja?

Yes, you´re right, that´s what I meant.

Anyway, would Comrade HongHu please restore her old signature with the explanation of what "SPAM" means?

Jamski · November 27, 2003, 04:37

Its still there

don't understand....

Snowflake · November 27, 2003, 17:30

Hi, guys, I'm back. Sorry for throwing such a big fit yesterday. You guys are right that it takes time to so something like restructuring. And I have to admit that I had been very encouraged by the fact that more and more people are coming back and start to participate. Please accept my apology. I sincerely hope that people's enthusiasm will not be hampered by my bad temper.

I've been enjoying being taken care of by you guys and perhaps I'm a little spoiled.

I'm having some guests in the hourse for the entire week so I'm kind of busy. But I will try to fill in wherever I'm needed.

We have a new member: Enigma_Nova!!! As soon as Ming authorizes him (since I cannot seem to do so just yet).

Engima! Welcome aboard. We have an eclectic range of personnel ranging from:

Deputy Chairman "You shall comply" Jamski
Minister "Must I do everything?" HongHu
Minister "This chair is great" Octavian X

Ex-member "Why can't the Hive follow a perfectly good plan and carry out all the necessary steps?" Kody

There are others, but we shall see if they post too.

Jamski · November 30, 2003, 20:03

They might.

That is so accurate.

Chief Editor "I am the free press" Vander
New blood "Where and when is the turn chat" Dacole and Mead

But the most important

I want to know when
I said that "You must comply" -
I'm no dictator.
