E-mail: gengiskan0@cs.com
Expert (i.e. Transcend)
Will play any of the factions from the original Alpha, but preferably not Zhakarov
Prefer Huge Map of Planet, but will play any reasonable map
Prefer to play one fast-paced game at a time, can and will only play the original (no Crossfire, it would be a pain to get my hands on and I don't know it or like it)
My prefered rules are Blind Research off and Tech Steal on (the Blind Research in my opinion may be realistic but it adds only randomness not skill), but both of those are negotiable

I would like to join a PBEM game. Here is my info:

- E-mail: allenkim96@yahoo.com
- I'll play either SMAC or SMAX, but I'd prefer SMAX
- One game at a time
- No map preference
- Any faction *except* Angels or Drones
- Any difficulty, including Transcend

Also, I'd like to know the ground rules of PBEM, since I've never played SMAC/X multiplayer before. Thanks!

Khajran · February 27, 2001, 00:32

Hi - I'm new to this, but thought I'd give it a try.

email - gtc4184@yahoo.com
SMAC or SMACX are both fine
2 games concurrently for now - may up that later
no map prefs
Faction preferences: No Believers
Difficulty: Any

cbn · February 28, 2001, 16:45

There should be enough new players to get some new games going soon ( and I am SO appreciative of the fact that people take the time to set these things up) but I was wondering if there are any system or software requirements needed to run MP smoothly.

Tau Ceti · February 28, 2001, 17:40

There certainly are enough players - the 5 new games started tonight should be enough to get everyone into at least one.

As for system requirements, if you can run SP, you can run MP. Settings apply to the game file itself rather than individual players, so if someone has a slow system, the ones with faster systems will have to accept animations off and other things needed to speed the game up.

Chowlett · March 5, 2001, 21:20

I've pretty much got enough time to take up a second game. Details have changed:

Smac or Smacx, preferably Smacx (already got a smac game)
Max difficulty: Transcend (beaten it once, heh, in at deep end)
Won't play Miriam, Yang, Cult, Aliens (but then, I'm not allowed)
Large maps are good for me, random for preference.

Please note that there may be a months gap in about a fortnight - depends on whether I can get a modem.

That is not good. I think I will wait until that situation is resolved before setting you up. Month-long delays in recently started games tend to be very unpopular...

Skanderbeg · March 6, 2001, 06:34

Hi Tau Ceti!

I would like to sign up to give multiplayer a try.

My email: Skanderbeg@gmx.de

I would like to start with two games, one on map of planet, one on random map (The bigger the better).

SMACX only, because I have my SMAC CD given to a friend for some time.

Transcendent level preferred

Would like to play the Cult of Planet in one game, and Pirates, Drones or Hive in the other, but if non of them is availiable, I would try every faction except Morganites and University.

Oh, because I am a MP newbie, I would like to know if I can find a MP FAQ or a "gentleman's agreement" about the Do and Do Not's of the dubious things (upgrading crawlers, pod booming etc.)

Thanks in advance

Fair enough. I'll let you know what happens. In any case, I should get a straight 8-9 week run following that, as I'll be on a network again. Come to think of it, the month-long gap probably won't happen, as I'll just pull the games off on my parents' computer and put them on floppy. Hm.

Ok then, change that to "there may be a month long period in about a fortnights time, when my rate of play will decrease due to tranfer times."

Guynemer · March 8, 2001, 17:38

I've had both SMAC & SMACX since they were first released, and I've never done a MP game... time to give it a shot.

email: jasonwm@umich.edu

SMAC or SMACX, doesn't matter

# of games--I probably couldn't handle more than three at once, if that many

Map pref--random would be best, but I'm not picky

Faction pref--Again, I'm not picky. I can't promise to put up much of a fight with certain factions, however. If I do get UoP, the extra tech can be random. I always play a random faction, so you can draw a card or flip a coin or whatever.

Difficulty pref--Transcendi is fine with me.

I'm also wondering about a FAQ or a "gentleman's agreement" as Skanderberg called it. I've read the PBEM Tournament Rules, but is this a comprehensive list of MP etiquette? Thanks a ton.

Guynemer

Sir Hawkeye · March 8, 2001, 23:44

Here goes nothing.

E-mail: Gondolin60@aol.com

Preferably SMACX

# of Games: No more than 2

Faction: Anything but Believers, preferably Gaians

Map: Random or Map of Planet

Difficulty: Librarian

buster · March 10, 2001, 16:43

I am in for up to four more games.

There is no hurry so just fill me in whenever there is a missing player for a complete game. Will take whatever settings, map and faction.

March 11, 2001, 15:23

well, whatever. i've never played against a human player before.

here goes.

i.reza@usa.net

game: SMAX

# of games: up to 5 games.

map pref: any map, preferably with water, since i prefer pirates

faction pref: pirates, morgan, spartan, cyborg, peacekeepers, gaia, UoP, caretaker (in that order, but i'll try others, though i'm not sure i'll like it)

difficulty: trancendi is fine.

by the way, what are the general netiquette of the mp games?

Edit: changed email and # of games

WhiteElephants · March 12, 2001, 17:26

Hi Tau, I'd like to get into two more AXT games, transcend, random map, Gai, Peacekeepers, or Morgan. Thanks.

Big Nickel · March 14, 2001, 01:49

I've been scanning the other SMAC multiplayer site for a year, and it never gets updated at all.

Please sign me up for 2 games
SMAC
Any difficulty
Any map
I prefer Peacekeepers, Morgon, University, Hive

I'm at bignickL@swbell.net

Aginor · March 14, 2001, 18:03

email: fewkew@netzero.net

SMAC only

# of games--two to start

Map pref--random greatly preferred

Faction pref--UoP (free tech would be Biogenetics, but if Lal is in then Centauri Ecology, and if Deirdre is also in then Industrial Base), Hive, Gaians, Morgan - but I'll play as anyone except Miriam.

Difficulty pref--Transcend preferred. I never play any other level in SP. But I'll play a lower level if the energy bug bothers people.

Tau Ceti,

I would like to take on another game.
If I get the University I would like to take Centauri Ecology as my bonus tech.

Thanx again.

knowhow2 · March 15, 2001, 10:25

Hey Tau Ceti,

I'm playing one PBEM game as this moment (about 20 turns or so) and I am interested in starting(?)joining another PBEM game or two.

My registered email is alan.law@hl.lu.se but I play my games on lawalan@hotmail.com so I would prefer to continue playing my PBEM games on that email.

Any maps are okey and Transcend would be great.

But since I am already playing the cult in a PBEM game I would rather not play that faction in any other PBEM games.

thank you
