1 - 1 parallel Aliens tourney

Googlie · July 25, 2000, 18:22

Anyone interested in playing side by side games, one as the Usurpers and one as the Caretakers (obviously with different maps) with 5 AI humans?

Harrumph....

I guess there is no interest

Hi Googlie:

I am a multiplayer newbie, but good against the computer AI. I'll take Marr. You can set up the game how you like. If no others join then we just have a single instead of parallel games.

Great!

I sent off the two games (parallel meaning that we play one, you as Marr, me as H'minee, and at the same time play another, different map but same settings, other five AI's, you H'minee, me Marr.)

As we are only two, we prolly don't need to set up a turn reporting thread here, but we might add periodically to this one to give interval scores, etc.

Hi Googlie:

I got your email about the tripod website you built. It didn't work -- I got an error404. I tried to reply to your email and got a undeliverable, transponder not availiable. If you just email me the turn, that would be fine. I'd rather play from the start, because I don't like what the computer does in the faststart. Maybe we could try to get a bunch of turns done on Saturday from 1 to 5 eastern time.

big_canuk:

problem is, I can't get at the attachments you send - they come as embedded txt in the e-mail itself, and there's nothing to save, and if I copy and save, it saves as a .doc or a .txt file.

I had this problem with a TigToad file he sent - seems to be an incompatibility with the e-mail systems (which was why I set up the website - I've gotten round the problem that way before)

I have some six e-mail addys and each one craps out with attachments from certain other e-mail servers, coming in as text each time.

Maybe we are doomed not to play

I can't understand why you cant get to the website edits - did you get the second e-mail with the corrected URL? it is (case sensitive):

see if that works this time, and if not, then it was a good college try
