On to Misotu.

I am still very much a rookie at MP. So I have a couple of questions for you:

1. Am I correct in assuming that I must declare probe actions in the turn that I make them?

2. How do other players regard probe actions? Personally, I would not be impressed by someone stealing tech and it may result in a downgraded diplomatic status. Is that reasonable?

3.How about infiltration? This is something that would not bother me any more than I'd be upset if somebody got the EG, but I want to know how others would feel about it.

big_canuk · February 1, 2001, 22:39

RedFred:

When you probe someone, a screen comes up which ask what the probee wants to do about it. Problem is, the prober, gets the screen. You must click "Vendetta", unless, you get *prior* premission from the probee to do otherwise. You don't have to declare your action, unless against a pactmate.

Infiltration does not result in a screen popping up, so doesn't require any action, unless it is against a pactmate. At least I think infiltrating a pactmate would require notification. Hmmm.. not sure?

Misotu · February 2, 2001, 14:36

2184 is on to Googlie.

As far as I am aware, you are not required to make any notification of infiltration, regardless of the diplomatic status. So that would include pactmates.

If you steal a tech without the prior permission of the victim, I believe you have to choose "declare vendetta" from the screen that pops up.

2184 to Tau Ceti

2185 recieved from Xwaste's (new or fixed) computer, and on to Jschwab.

2185 sent to RedFred.

You must select vendetta at the pop up screen when you probe.

Infiltration requires no warning or otehr notice.

--------

Sorry about the reload. The game crashed the first time I tried to load it. I went ahead and loaded again, without rebooting. As soon as I saw the diplo screens, I knew I had the no menu options problem. I quit as soon as I could, so no difference in play.

I want to let everyone know hat I will be out of town from the 8th through the 12th. If desired I can probably still find a sub before I leave but I would obviously prefer not to...

2186 to Tau Ceti

(This is obvoiusly the year of the Reload. I too am guilty - tried to play with the laptop as a laptop, but the sensor pad is so sensitive that I was activating a move when my shirt brushed against the pad (including an end turn). I gave up and started the turn again in a more conventional playing position)

Misotu · February 9, 2001, 01:50

2186 off to Googlie.

Tau Ceti · February 9, 2001, 12:01

My mailserver is down for incoming mails. Could you send the turn to tauc@hotmail.com ?

Tau Ceti · February 10, 2001, 14:50

Never mind - it works again now. 2187 to XWaste.

big_canuk · February 11, 2001, 15:45
