Er ... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this supposed to be the "fast" game ???

Paul · August 22, 2000, 04:44

I guess "fast" is relative. What's fast to one person isn't necessarily fast to others. But I would expect at least the first player to play his turn within 24 hours after receiving it.

Hmmph (grumpy).

Well, it's jolly well not good enough, that's all I can say. Course, the most likely explanation is that the email from Tau Ceti to Di Dad has gone astray. So I've emailed DD to check that he at least has received a file to play ...

Viriato · August 22, 2000, 18:30

You maybe right Misotu. Or maybe he's gone on hollidays.
It's been 5 days since I received a turn in any of my games (5 at the moment). I'm starting to miss it

.
BTW does any of you want to play in AI's Revenge 4? DD is the CMN and we lack 1 player (Morgan). It was supposed to be Vel but he went on a trip. Then Googlie took his place but we never heard from him. We are now looking for a substitute for the substitute

.
If interested please email DD.

Misotu · August 22, 2000, 19:24

Hi Viriato, I'd gladly fill in for Morgan (although he's not my favourite faction, it has to be said) but unfortunately I'm already playing in AIR3. DD doesn't want people playing more than one game of the AIR series, because the AI behaves fairly predictably. I hope you get going - AIR is a fun game, and it's a pleasant change to co-operate in teams

Haven't heard from DD yet I'm afraid ...

Viriato · August 24, 2000, 18:08

M.Y. 2101 sent to the University.

Let's get this game going

.

Misotu: It looks like DD has found a replacement player. Let's hope this time is for real. How's AIR3? In what year are you now?

Misotu · August 24, 2000, 21:04

We're in 2119, so it's still early days but it's moving along nicely.

2103 to DiDad.

DilithiumDad · August 28, 2000, 11:18

2103 passed along.

Would have done the turn Saturday, but the server was having porblems all weekend. Will try to do turn with a few hours of receipt.

For AI's Revenge participants seeking another game, I might have to make a new version (AI's Intense Reverve Quest or IRQ?). One idea is to give starting SP's to the AI factions, like Planetary Datalinks and Empath Guild to Miriam, Merchant Exchange and Virtual World to Zak, and Command Nexus and Weather Paradigm to Hive.

Great. A few turns into the game, and I'm about to lose one of my transports to an IoD.

Boo hoo.

Turn sent to Dilithium Dad.

DilithiumDad · August 30, 2000, 09:54

Misotu, that's what you get for popping sea pods without backup!

Sent 2104 turn yesterday about an hour after receipt.

Oh I know, I know. But ... it was just there ... and so tempting. Anyway, bet I'm not the only one taking a chance ...

BTW, had trouble posting to the board and forgot to mention that I'd be interested in playing a new and improved version of AIR along the lines you've mentioned.

Not a turn sent message - just posting.

Viriato · August 30, 2000, 18:51

M.Y. 2104 sent to the University.

I'm also interested in the new AIR games, although I would like to start the old one first

.

I know the feeling Misotu

. Lately I have been able to control myself a little better. But sometimes I just can help it, the finger is quicker then the head and click: another IoD

2104 to Mis

Misotu · August 31, 2000, 09:54

Ah well ... I'm going to have to work on this self-control thing you mentioned. What looks like a whole division of mindworms have now disembarked from said IoD and are preparing to run riot across my island ...

2105 to DiDad.
