PBEM Tournament signup thread

Tau Ceti · April 5, 2000, 19:38

Welcome to the Apolyton PBEM Tournament!

We are playing games on three different types of map:

1. 4-player games on a specially created tournament map (you can download it here) with the players starting on identical islands along the equator. All factions start with extra Colony Pods, Scout Patrols and formers, and the starting techs of all player factions that are in the game. In the SMACX games, the Progenitors are in the game on continents along the north and south poles.

2. 4-player games on the Map of Planet. 3 AI factions (no Progenitors) will also be included. Normal starting units and tech.

3. 4-player games on random maps, with 3 AI factions (no Progenitors) and normal starting units and tech.

To register for the tournament, post here or send me an email at larsheg@sensewave.com , in both cases including the following info:

Your email address - required!
Whether you want to play SMAC, SMACX or both.
The number of games you want to play concurrently.
If you have any map preferences, please specify how many games you want on each type of map, or say that you do not want to be set up on a type.
Your faction preferences, if any. Or at least factions you will not play at all. If you want the University, please also specify which free tech you want.
Your highest preferred difficulty level - Librarian, Thinker or Transcend. You will not be set up in games at a higher difficulty, but you may be set up at a lesser one.
If you register by email, please include your Apolyton alias.

If you have previously registered, I will only need to know how many more games you want, on what maps, and at which difficulty level.

Hi Tau

My email address: misotu@hotmail.com

Please sign me up for the following:

SMAC or SMACX
I'm currently playing 4 games. I can play up to six or so. I'm a good match for European players, since I'm around during the day US time.
Any maps
Any difficulty up to Transcend
I would prefer not to play the Hive, Morgan, the Cult or the Believers

Thanks!

Enigma · April 6, 2000, 18:36

Do I need to include info again? I would like to play UP TO 2 more games as Hive and another as Morgan or drones. Both on the random maps with 4 people

SMAX/transcend

Tau Ceti · April 6, 2000, 19:00

If you have registered before, you do not need to give the same info again. A simple post like Enigma's will suffice. And if you have emailed me before, you do not need to include your Apolyton username in every mail - that is just for new contestants, so that I know what name to register them by. Thanks.

WhiteElephants · April 6, 2000, 22:36

I would like to play a random 4 player SMAC game up to transcend level with any faction, suprise me. Feenybe@cs.com

Paul · April 7, 2000, 01:31

I would play whatever maps you have at whatever difficulty you want. I also just got SMAC-X, so I could now also play that. But the current 4 games will remain my maximum.

TigToad · April 7, 2000, 02:34

I will play up to 2 more games. Act4 just ended, why not... I'd prefer 4 player games, random maps or map of planet (1 of each?). Smac/X prefered over Smac but it doesn't matter much. Any difficulty, higher is better... faction preferences are: Peacekeepers, Morgan, Roze, Cybernetic

Thx--Tig

(tau, I'll start a few games if you'd like to play, since I'm already administering your threads and we don't have to edit the factions anymore).

Garth Vader · April 7, 2000, 10:50

Yeah since Act 4 just finished I'd like to play 2. SMAC only, Thinker level, 4 player random map as Belivers (Since I haven't ever seen anybody request them!) and Tournament map as UoP or if they aren't available I'd try Morgan.

Grigger · April 7, 2000, 16:53

Anything but Yang or SMACX, i still don't have it, on any map on any difficulty, but not until I finish one of the games I'm in. I want 3 games max, and I'm playing three right now.

Tau Ceti · April 8, 2000, 00:41

Tig: Thanks for the offer, but the 5 games I am in already are enough. I will let you know if/when that changes.

Tiger13 · April 8, 2000, 13:29

Ok I would like to join this tournament.

My e-mail is fromknecht@highwired.com.
I only have SMAC
Any Map
I never have been in a turney before, so 1 or 2 games would be fine.
My faction preferences are Morgan, University or Gaians.
Libarian Level

Hunkpapa · April 18, 2000, 09:44

I am in one PBEM game now.

Would like to be involved in 3-4 more games.

I don't care who I play with or in what kind of game. Just not transcend.

Thank you.

Tau Ceti · April 24, 2000, 18:42

I am back. Send emails to larsheg@sensewave.com again. Of course, you can also register by posting here.

Adam_Smith · April 24, 2000, 19:54

I'm in. You got my email.

Adam_Smith · April 25, 2000, 18:26

ARG! 5 Colony Pods, 5 Formers and 5 Scouts. No spoils of war. I want to change to the UoP. I've been set up!!!

Tau Ceti · April 26, 2000, 09:55

Adam_Smith, do not worry. That setup is only for the tournament map. If you read the rules thread more closely, you will see that the category 'other maps' has ordinary starting conditions - everyone starts with their two Colony Pods and a Scout Patrol. Spoils of war are off though.

aliatar · April 27, 2000, 00:25

Count me in for 1 SMAC game. Any map but the tournament one. I rather play Morgan, Gaians or UoP.

My email is: aliatar@europe.com

Adam_Smith · April 27, 2000, 02:52

I'm sorry Tau Ceti. I read them over a few times, but I got confused about it. How are people winning in less than 40 years?

Tau Ceti · April 27, 2000, 08:23

They do not on the new random maps. But in the 'old' tournament, the accelerated start made tech advances very fast indeed, especially for the University, often giving MMI by 2140. But the very earliest victories happened because players dropped out.

Adam_Smith · May 8, 2000, 11:48

Tau Ceti,

I can't remember if you have me down for tourny maps. I would only like to play on random maps now that I have thought about it more. Sorry for the inconvinience.
