People, than inform me about the ratings. How many agree to this, how many decline, and what's the highest AI level beaten for those who agree.

Radagast, you're still with us? You haven't posted in days. I'm waiting for you so I can get this game going.
(note: Hutak = Midnight, just changed usernames.)

I don't mind it being rated but didn't I read somewhere that you can only have 4 players for a rated game?

This is wrong. If at least 3 players in a game agree to rate it, it's rated.

Yes I'm ready.
Just a thought are we turning off random events in the game? I would like it turned off but it isn't essential.

People, agree on player order, before you do much about this game, first.

I think the order is decided when you create the game..based on factions...I think :-)

First you make a post with all players and their timezones, then you think. First, combine a list of players in one post.

sorry for the quiet time, I just assumed you'd get started, having my email and all.
If you started with me, I'm in EST , GMT -500 (I *think*...I'm in IN, so we are on EST, NOT EDT--whatever the case, I'm on Chicago time)

Timezone: Central Standard Time (CST)
E-Mail: sam.henson@att.net
Highest AI Defeated: Librarian
I am usually able to check e-mail from 10pm to 1am. I could probably check in the morning (7am) in needed.
I think it would be great if we could all zip the game file before we send it. I did a test and found the compression ratio to be good. It is much better to download a <100k file than a 400k file.
Random events are OK on or off; Doesn't matter to me either way.
Anything else we need to do before we start?

Good to see that you are still alive Radagast.
As for the turn order, I had already arranged it as follow:
-SamIAm
-Twister
-Radagast
-Hutak
-SITS
That way we were moving from west to east. Unless somebody has a better idea?

Now, each game needs a moderator. I think I'll be a moderator of this game, for I've done much with you thus far  .
Now, the players whom I see:
SITS, Twister, Radagast, SamIAm, Hutak, what is 5 players. This is good - the speed will be reasonable, and there will be 2 AI factions.
Now, before we begin (soon!), some more important questions, must be answered by everyone:
1. What game you have (SMAC v.4 or SMAX)?
2. What difficulty you prefer (Librarian, I assume)?
3. What factions you'd like to play (name 2 or 3, in their order)?
4. Would you like to be rated (I hope yes!)?
After I got answers to these questions, I'll probably be able to make a game for you. We have random map, large size, right?
And - you will have your turns protected by passwords. Everyone email me the password you'd like. Note that they're not (I think) case-sensitive.
I think that's all.
Oh, and SamIAm - yes, most people Zip the files. As game progresses, the savefile will grow to over 500 KB, while the ZIP will take at least 80% off the size.
Welcome to the world of SMAC PBEM! .

Thanks SITS. Now please summarize the highest AI level beaten for everyone, and I'll start the game for you, as soon as you do the remaining - email me your passwords.
And, what shall be the official name of this game?

The highest level I've beaten is Thinker.
Name? I think Hutak should have the privilege to decide that as he started all this!

Starting tomorrow, or better to say - when I get the passwords emailed. I hope it will be tomorrow. And OK, will you allow me to play in here, or not? An experienced player I am, though. .

The highest level i've officially beaten is Librarian.
Question: if we later beat a higher level, can we submit that for credit on our ranking? E.g. I am currently playing Transcend. If and when I win, can I submit that and have my ranking improved?
