JPJ, WTF is that?

John Paul Jones · April 12, 2002, 16:24

It's a work in progress - i'm bored

Mongoose · April 12, 2002, 16:29

Ah. I see.

Guess Radman's comp is still on the blink.

BTW, which base was/is Razorbeak Wood? The one closest to your border?

John Paul Jones · April 12, 2002, 16:34

Nope - it's the one closest to your border (his northern-most) - i sent an expedition through the fungus on his western flank.

Mongoose · April 12, 2002, 16:39

He (Darsnan) is pretty much surrounded by Hive territory, then.

I would guess this game is almost over.

John Paul Jones · April 12, 2002, 16:45

It look's that way...unless someone can convince Comstr to join in the fight...and get you to change sides too !

Yang Vs. the World lol

Radman · April 12, 2002, 22:24

Hi all:

Move 2131 to Mongoose. Sorry for the slight delay, got my system on life support (at least until the weekend)

Radman

Comstr · April 12, 2002, 22:33

Well....

As Morgon Industries runs and requieres money...

Show me the credit's, talk is cheap, but I can't do anything without it (no money to build rovers, have to spend ALL my money making hologram theaters!)

Mongoose · April 12, 2002, 22:38

2132 to Darsnan.

Hologram Theaters, CEO? The better for your citizenry to watch the serial holofilm epic 'Chiron at War' which will detail the lightning campaign of the Dark L..er..Chairman Yang to unify Planet under the Hive banner by MY 2150.

knowhow2 · April 15, 2002, 06:42

turn to comstr a few hours ago

Comstr · April 15, 2002, 22:18

It's been some time and I have NOT recieved a turn.

knowhow2 · April 16, 2002, 05:11

turn 2131 sent to comstar@optushome.com.au

Comstr · April 16, 2002, 05:41

Um, I already did turn 2131...when I opened it I got the message I had already played that turn.

knowhow2 · April 16, 2002, 07:10

uhmmmm......

.... the poly was down so when I posted my turn you already posted yours... that's the confusion I think

Mongoose · April 16, 2002, 12:05

Darsnan wrote me that he sent the 2132 to JPJ at ~ 23:40 GMT on 14 April to JPJ. Just re-sent.

John Paul Jones · April 17, 2002, 03:14

Yep, I received that and sent 2132 on to Knowhow2 (15/04/02 @ 5:32) but didn't post here as the site was down.

Just in case the e-mail didn't get through to you K2 i'll put it up here:

knowhow2 · April 17, 2002, 05:34

something went wrong here.... I already played 2132 but haven't saved any turns.... and perhaps not sending them either.

knowhow2 · April 17, 2002, 05:36

turn 2132 to comstr.... with 2 or 3 reloads

Comstr · April 17, 2002, 06:18

Turn to Aborman.

Woah, what HAS the hive been up to? Double the power to the 2nd ranked faction...

arborman · April 17, 2002, 12:00

Your ally has been devastating the map comstar. Rest assured, when he is done with us, he will come for you.

2132 to radman

John Paul Jones · April 17, 2002, 15:06

The Chairman would remind the Chief Executive Officer that it is his faction which is second in the ratings race and that the Hive has held true to it's promise of peace and free trade with his corporation since 2104 allowing both factions to flourish.

However:
It is only possible to win a cooperative victory with a maximum of 3 players. Although the University have surrendered, it will not been seen as such by the AI as a submissive and so will count in this tally.

This is also assuming the cooperative victory switch is on, Darsnan ?

Well that is a very interestnig question. I dug up the thread that we started this game with:

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...0&pagenumber=1

and it does not specifically mention this aspect here. Also, I cannot find my original notes for this game, so cannot tell you for certain whether I set this option to on or off.

D

John Paul Jones · April 17, 2002, 15:53

Not to worry, I'm guessing you started the game with standard rules since blind research is on...in which case it would be enabled and unfortunately would also mean that Do or Die (don't restart eliminated players) is off which is going to make my job a lot harder thank you very much !

Mongoose · April 17, 2002, 16:01

Hmmm. How interesting. I wonder if do or die off gets around the 'ending the game upon the elimination of a human player bug'? If so, it would be a simple matter for the CMN to disband the respawned units. Advantage would be that no turns were skipped and that the conquerer wouldn't be deprived of that last base. Must test.

John Paul Jones · April 17, 2002, 16:13

errrh...ahh...yes - that's what i meant of course

. Instead of playing on you could just arbitrarily decide you have been defeated !

Only problem with this (if it is agreed on) is i don't think the AI will restart a faction if either:

* There is no land left outside factional borders

* It is after 2200

( but the way the Hive is playing at the moment this is likey to be a redundant issue

)

Mongoose · April 17, 2002, 16:17

I quite agree. Actually, I'm ready to concede this game just as soon as I burn Ironholm to the ground.
