DT1: Velociryx vs Zsozso

[Aredhran]

IT HAS STARTED !

This is the administrative thread for the Dominus Transcendi Challenge. Details regarding the challenge can be found there.

MY 2101 turn will be sent to Zsozso shortly.

Good luck to both of you, and may the best one win !

Thank you very much for designing the map and setting up this game!

First Annual Report on CNB (Chironian Network Bulletin)

The followers of Provost Zsozso has started to explore the rough and fungus-ridden surface of this alien planet. Dean Neumann Cyber-intelligence professor (great- great- great-grandson of John Neumann), who was leading our first Scout Patrol unit, has encountered some rather nasty life-forms. They looked like a harmless nest of entangled worms, but it soon became appearant that they are quite harmful in fact. They can induce halucinations, nightmares, migranes and they caused some severe brain damage to one of our PhD students.

Another scout unit was far luckier and found a pod from the Unity Spaceship with some valuable contents - however, the details of this mission are classified.

University Base has been successfully founded giving the long-waited opportunity to our research stuff to start their quest for knowledge in this new environment.

Janos Bolyai, Librarian, 2101

Crappy HTML edited. Really annoying that UBB skips a line for every CR in the code, makes it difficult to read and maintain...

[Fistandantilus]

Wow, the Swiss one made a great job here!
Very nice, thanx.

[Aredhran]

Missing status reports added. With the multiple edits (necessary because of UBB's handling of CR in the text), it actually takes me more time to post these than to actually compile the info...

[Pythagoras]

yo- what faction is Vel?

[zsozso]

We are both University - for better balance.

Red, why don't you try to create/edit the tables in a text editor which can handle very long lines properly ? E.g. I use XEmacs for tables in the tournament admin. Then, you can just copy/paste them into the forum posting form.

Zsozso

[Velociryx]

LOL....Vel is the DOOMED faction....that's which....Zso just beat me to the PTS, and now has double my population....don't know WHAT I'm gonna do about that....YIKES!!!

[Rusty Nail]

This is most interesting to follow. It would be very instructive to be able to study the saves every five years when this is over ( or before if possible).Would the players have any objection to releasing them?

[zsozso]

It may not be a simple question of objection or not. I do not mind releasing them eventually, but I did not keep them around... So if Vel or Aredhran have them, then it is fine with me...

On the other hand, so far Vel does not have infiltrator information on me and neither my world map, so I wouldn't want to release them yet.

Zsozso

[Aredhran]

I have all the saves that the above reports are based upon, so maybe I could send them to you, when the game is over (I don't think it would be a good idea to do it before that).

Aredhran

[Rusty Nail]

That is good news. I would suggest you post them on the site afterwords. A lot of people would be interested. Same goes for the other games. This would be a bit like the AOK recorded games posted on Mr. Fixit's site. A great learning tool.

By the way, why don't they play IP, being only two?

[Rusty Nail]

Aredhran: Is it possible that you could post the map somewhere or email it to me? I would like to try it in hotseat mode.

[Admiral John]

Did this game end or what? If so who gave up or was defeated?

Yep this game has ended, Tau Ceti transcended in 2216.

Huh? Tau Ceti won DT4.

This was DT1 ... What happened? Did Vel concede or something?

[Aredhran]

Nah, I just ****ed up...

Of course you're right, Tau Ceti won DT4. This game was abandoned when Zsozso left the forums and SMAC, with him having an almost decisive advantage over Vel...
