Youngbloods Gathering, part I

Solver · May 6, 2001, 13:14

Just started this game, with players being:
SamIAm, Twister, Radagast, Hutak, SITS.
Turn 2101 sent to SITS. The old thread is here: http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum27/HTML/000454.html

Email address for Hutak is *********** , and you know addresses for the others. Something messed with the player, order, though

. This is the first and the last time it goes so.
Hutak, please forgive me, and tell what is the highest AI level you've ever beaten

.
And all, say who would want to join one more game, that I'm creating, but it will also have two experienced players: Mark13 and me.
Enjoy the game, and contact me with questions, if anything is unclear, and I think it will be - first game, all in all. It was also unclear to me

Solver: please include me in new game you are forming.

Answers to quiz:

One free tech advance to whomever identifies the movie from which the below quote is taken. One free secret project if the name of the actor delivering the line is given. One free planet buster before turn 100 if you can correctly identify the type of parrot the actor ownsj, as well as its ontological status.

"Now, let's not worry about who killed who....this is supposed to be a happy occasion."

1.Monty Python and the Holy Grail
2. Michael Palin
3. A Norwegian Blue (beautiful plumage!); which is either "dead" or "stunned" or "pining for the fjords," depending upon whom you ask.

Turn 2101 to Hutak of the Peacekeepers.

Radagast · May 8, 2001, 18:20

Um, unless people aren't posting, its been 24 hours since the turn got sent last time.

While we're on the subject, what are the rules (or are there any?) on timeliness?

I must admit I misread Solver's post in the original newbie game thread. When I said why would Hutak have a say in the game I thought Solver had meant he was starting a NEW game seperate from the one Hutak was starting which is what I was signing up for.

My mistake. I wasn't trying to marginise Hutak at all which I think I did with my post. Sorry.

I guess I'm wondering (only wondering as Hutak has 48 hours to make a move) if Hutak is still with us or has he taken offence at the game being started by someone else? I hope he is still here and ok.

Radagast · May 9, 2001, 21:54

Ok, it's been like 52 hours, send out the search parties.

Solver · May 10, 2001, 08:47

Very sorry to say this, but Hutak looks pretty hostile to me. He has taken some offence from me starting the game, refused to reply to postings/emails, and now doesn't play. Also refused to give me his password

1. Solver: has he stated all of these things to you (e.g. has he SAID he refused to give you his password, or has he just not done it? Has he ACTIVELY refused these things, or just not responded?) He's also in the TW2002 game, and I don't recall seeing him post recently on any of the BBS. He could be sulking here and keeping a low profile there, or he could be busy or occupied with real-life duties such that he cannot post. Unless we KNOW for SURE he is angry or upset, we should not assume this.

2. While Solver may have taken the "hit" earlier re: the email exchange with Hutak, please keep in mind that I was all for getting the game going ASAP, and other players were of the same mind. Hutak's last post was before we all started getting VERY impatient, so two things could be the case:

a. Hutak was sulking. In this case he is a wee bit of a noodge for not getting the game going. It shouldn't take over 100 posts to start a game. Also, Solver IS a ladder administrator, not just "some guy" who decided to wrest control from our hands (even if he is a bit "eager."

)

b. Hutak has valid reasons for being away. Since we had no contact with him when we decided to start the game, we shouldn't assume he consented to it--perhaps he was already called away by duties. So maybe he isn't being nasty, maybe he is just not there. His last post seemed to indicate that he was eager to get going.

All in all, I think we should assume (b) until we have clear evidence to the contrary. Innocent until proven guilty. (those who prefer "police state" setting in SE may opt for a less aquittal-prone system, but I still think we should stay nice until we have clear reason to be nasty)

So, we might as well just wait until we hear from Hutak. In the meantime, get some more games going.

SITS · May 11, 2001, 09:41

Hear, Hear Rad. I'm all for waiting for contact from Hutak before we jump to conclusions. But start a new game by all means.

Solver, did Hutak give you permission to post his email address?

Solver · May 11, 2001, 11:09

Permission for posting his email? He hasn't spoken a single word to me. He only said that my email pissed him off, nothing else.
OK, I'm also open for arrangin another game now, if that is what you want, besides MindWorms in Mist, so it's MW in M, and one more.
Hutak did never say something, and I hope he really has valid reasons.
And anyway, I had to post his email, so that you could send the turns to him. Contact him someone.

SITS · May 11, 2001, 11:25

Solver - I'm not sure that was proper thing to do. Hutak kept his email hidden for his own reasons - it is up to him to give his permission for it to be revealed. As to playing the game he might have wanted to use a different email address that he had registered with and not have his main one in the public domain.

A new game would be good by me.

I have written to Hutak, sending my apologise maybe it would help if you could do the same Solver.

Solver · May 11, 2001, 11:34

First let him respond to you.
And, his email isn't publicaly available. It's just in this thread, anyway. But I never act right

As of yet I've had no response from Hutak. I suggest we either abandon or get a replacement for him.

SamIAm · May 16, 2001, 00:10

I agree, SITS. I think we should start a new game, perhaps with the same settings, so we could start soon.

SITS · May 16, 2001, 03:30

Solver - can you sort this out for us - a new game based on the old game minus Hutak? Cheers!

Solver · May 16, 2001, 10:52

I've emailed a guy for substitute. Will see his response.

SITS · May 16, 2001, 13:08

Welcome back Hutak and I hope your real life is a bit easier.

Solver was just about to find a replacement so if you write to him with your password and tell him that you want to play we should be able to continue. You should have the last turn so can you play it and send it on to the next person? If not request that the turn gets resent to you. Cheers!

Solver · May 16, 2001, 13:16

It's all right Hutak. You're still playing. SITS (or whom?) will resend you the turn, and you'll play, just please email your password to me, as the moderator.

SamIAm · May 16, 2001, 14:27

Hey Hutak, good to have you back.

I re-sent the turn to you to make sure you get it.

(Turn 2101 to the Peacekeepers)

Hutak · May 17, 2001, 00:13

Hello folks!

I apologize for disapearing without warning about two weeks ago, but a tragedy happened in Real-Life (TM) which left me no choices.

Am I still in the game? If not, be assured that I won't hold it against you four since I was gone for so long. If yes, just tell me so I can send in my turn.

Once again, I'm sorry.
-Hutak

Be sure to check your private messages please SamIAm.

Thanks,

Nice to see you really posting, Hutak.

Does anybody know the status of the game?

SamIAm · May 18, 2001, 18:12

It seems that the address we had for Hutak was not correct. He gave me his address and I re-sent last night. Sorry for not making that clear.

So, Turn 2101 sent to Peacekeepers

Hutak · May 18, 2001, 23:23

2101 sent (finaly!) to SITS of the Gaiains.

-Hutak

PS. Is it just me, or does the earth to sea ratio seems to be awfully high?

SITS · May 19, 2001, 05:47

Turn 2102 to twister of the Hive

Solver:- can you edit the beginning of this thread and put the game order with email addresses. I can't find the order anywhere. Cheers.

Hutak - You should love the Planet, whatever shape she takes.
