Peace In Our Time (Turn Thread)

Rubin · March 17, 2004, 08:08

This is the turn thread for the Peace In Our Time PBEM.

Briefing:
Four teams race for victory. However, no military nor covert operations are allowed. The teams are: (1) Morganites/Angels, (2) University/Drones, (3) Pirates/Consciousness and (4) Peacekeepers. Contact has been preserved for team-mates and team communication may begin even before planetfall!

Players and turn order:
Peacekeepers - Brother Chaunk (mj_blakemore AT uk2 DOT net)
Nautilus Pirates - Captain Cosmic (final-fantasy AT uol DOT com DOT br)
University - Provost shawnmmcc (hjcarr01 AT athena DOT louisville DOT edu)
Data Angels - Datajack Makahlua (mahkina AT benzautin DOT com)
Free Drones - Foreman mart7x5 (marcin777 AT hotmail DOT com)
Cybernetic Consciousness - Prime Function DataAeolus (aeolusdata AT yahoo DOT com)
Morganites - CEO binTravkin (ivantravkin AT hotmail DOT com)

CMN - Rubin (Rubin_Datalinks AT hotmail DOT com)

Scenario notes:
The research options at M.Y. 2101 may produce non-default choices; however, all teams have fair options if they manage to coordinate research.
All victory conditions are enabled except Conquest Victory (which makes no sense in this PBEM). Do or Die is enabled and there are no random events. Difficulty is transcend. No specific house rules have been agreed upon.

2101 to cosmic.

Thanks Rubin, this should be a good game

Cosmic · March 17, 2004, 18:51

2101 to Shawn

Makahlua · March 19, 2004, 05:15

Shawn, you out there? (I haven't recieved a turn yet.)

Cosmic · March 19, 2004, 07:18

Shawn if you didnt receive the turn please post here or send a message(the e-mail I sent to you didnt come back but I´ll send again just in case)

Mr. Harley · March 19, 2004, 18:13

Turn to Angels - been a little sick, got a upper respiratory virus from my little one - I am convinced playgroups are designed as disease vector meetings to toughen them up when they're young.

P.S. I hate to keep a lady waiting

Oh! Sorry I whined then, kids are more important than AC

And I'm all 'awwww' over here too

2101 to the Drones, btw

Mr. Harley · March 20, 2004, 13:38

The kid's fine - she threw the &*#$ virus off in four days, and it only slowed her down for two - I've gone from headaches and being stuffed up to currently having a nasty cough, and I got sick last Saturday. She'll either toughen daddy up or kill him.

Barinthus · March 20, 2004, 14:19

Yeah kids' immunity system's very resilent. I miss it already :/

And it's nice to see that you got your title, Makahlua. Long live the princess!

Makahlua · March 20, 2004, 16:42

Thanks DA

I feel more, er, 'me' now

Mr. Harley · March 20, 2004, 20:36

Problem is that your avatar just makes me feel like you're just sitting there, waiting. That's not Lain, is it?

Makahlua · March 20, 2004, 20:46

No, she's Seraphim from the Megatokyo web comic (www.megatokyo.com) I just cropped her wings and colorized her, since I have similar glasses and hair

Well, and the two of us think alike sometimes

Mr. Harley · March 22, 2004, 05:01

binTravkin · March 22, 2004, 08:56

Now, where's the turn?

Barinthus · March 22, 2004, 13:28

Mart7x5 has it. He has been quiet lately, he's CMN for one other PBEM I'm in and haven't heard from him yet.

Mart · March 22, 2004, 21:23

2101 to Cycon, sorry for the delay....

Barinthus · March 23, 2004, 00:02

Naw no need to apologise

Barinthus · March 23, 2004, 00:43

CEO binTravkin, 2101 is now in your court.

And yes, I doublechecked

CMN, my faction was supposed to be CyCon but I had graphics for one of those aliens... caretakers I think.

Do I need to adjust my Alpha Centurai ini file? It's still orginial.

binTravkin · March 23, 2004, 02:29

A question to CMN:

Maybe we can run the file correctly without those changes in alpha?

Mart · March 23, 2004, 02:42

It's kinda bug, there is no excellent cure for it
Adjustment in ini is the only way to do as far as i know:

1) start a new game with the same faction arrangement as in PIOT game - exe will make appropriate changes in ini file for you or:

2) change ini file manually by yourself each time before loading the game turn...

Firaxis could really fix it....

binTravkin · March 23, 2004, 02:43

Turn to Brother Chaunk
Misspelled the name (for some reason thought that Gaians should be the fac to receive next year

)

Btw: DataAeolus, please send your next turns zipped or rared!

Rubin · March 23, 2004, 09:16

DataAeolus: I think this information was included in the setup notification I sent you. Anyway, take a look at you alpha centauri.ini file and the faction entries should look like this:

Faction 1=PEACE
Faction 2=PIRATES
Faction 3=UNIV
Faction 4=ANGELS
Faction 5=DRONE
Faction 6=CYBORG
Faction 7=MORGAN

I think your 6th faction entry says caretake.

binTravkin: This is a common bug that applies to all SMACX PBEMs. It is unaffected by the alphax.txt file. Also, I do not recall changing any rules files for this game; it is plain SMACX.

Chaunk: Could you pass the 2102 save file to me for inspection?

Barinthus · March 23, 2004, 13:22

Rubin, thanks. As binTravkin noticed, I've been as he put it, 'messy.'

I must have gotten your list confused with one other PBEM.

binTravkin, I assumed yahoo would automatically rar or zip my files while I'm uploading those. Do I have to do the rar/zip thing outside of the email system before saving the file as an attachment?

Makahlua · March 23, 2004, 16:48

DA: yes you'll have to; I wish emails autocompressed

Chaunk · March 23, 2004, 17:19

I won't get round to playing this until thursday (25th). Apologies...

Aw, bummer. Thanks alto. I believe AOL autocompress their emails but I'm on a free trial and I have no intention to continue my membership with them.

Cosmic · March 23, 2004, 18:56

Hmm I have to take a look at my INI file too... At my first dialogue in the game I was seeing two Foreman Domais! TWO!!! And I wasnt even talking with the Drones ...

Oh well I´m from a pirate faction, BUT I WASN´T DRUNK!!!! - Or at least not in the first turn!!

Barinthus · March 23, 2004, 20:32

Ok if you say so but for some reason I can smell some xenorum...

Cosmic · March 23, 2004, 20:58

eh? what happened?
