2135 to sin man

Sin Man · May 12, 2002, 11:50

Turn sent to University. Sorry for the delay - I've been terribly sick the last few days, unconscious for the most of that time. Anyway, I'm back, I'm gonna live and the turn has moved on.

Claw919 · May 15, 2002, 14:30

YAAY!

It's REPLACEMENT time again, boys and girls.

Here's the note from DCOLE:

---
I am contacting you from the local library near where I live. My
computer has died evidently traveling does not agree with it. I am currently looking for another but between saving for graduate school (having to pay rent stinks) and paying of my new car and my new insurance (one wreck and it all goes to crap)
I don't know when I will be able to get another. I am terribly sorry since I know this holds up the game. I will look for a replacement but I hereby authorize you to find one and give him/her my password. Good luck to you all,
when my situation stabilizes I will return, can only go for so long
without my drug

.
---

So, that's that. We'll need a replacement - a PERMANENT replacement. (Sorry, Daniel - I can't very well get a replacement and expect them to get into the game for a few weeks or months or however much time it takes you to find a new computer).

I'll post for a replacement. Sin Man - please hold tight to that turn, because you'll need to resend to someone shortly.

Mongoose · May 15, 2002, 15:50

Hi folks. I'll take it, if you like. My card isn't quite as full as I thought it would be. (Although I still hate Time Warp!)

SinMan has my addy, since I pass to him in MISC.

Added benefit: I get to kick Claw all over two maps!

Mongoose · May 15, 2002, 22:42

Seems we have a problem here. Claw doesn't have the UoP password. Nor do I. I DO have the turn, but I cannot open and play without the password.

DCole, if you read this, PM the password to me!

If we cannot get that PW, this game cannot continue.

KrysiasKrusader · May 15, 2002, 22:54

Hey...... claw919.............

You took everybody's password at the sign-up...

Remember......

.......

.................................................. .......

Mongoose · May 15, 2002, 23:11

From Claw's email to me:

There is (of course) a problem.

He's the only person who hasn't given me his
password.

Yep - you got that right. Despite my constant
badgering, he never gave me his password.

Chaunk · May 16, 2002, 07:18

Well that does make it interesting... But since we're not too far into the game, we could restart it... I've no huge wish to let the game die

Claw919 · May 16, 2002, 09:16

I *ASKED* for everyone's password. I asked DWCOLE several times. I actually only RECEIVED 5 of the passwords, and just kind of got tired of babysitting the whole thing ("Bah - everything's rolling along fine anyhow").

Okie dokie. What about a restart, then? I recall Chaunk wanted a restart earlier, anyhow, so... I'm not opposed to it.

Also, if everyone would like an accellerated game other than just a regular 'time warp', I'd be agreeable to that as well. Not a STOCK beginning, but something where we started with a few CPs or something.

Everyone, please sound off on the above. Restart or wait for DWCOLE to get the password to me? Time warp OK, or try some other means of accellerated start?

I'll be sending out an email, as well, to draw everyone's attention. It's worth noting that DWCOLE was the slowest player anyhow (usually accounting for like 65-75% of our downtime between turns), so a newly created game should progress really quickly.

(Shrug). I'm starting to think I'm painting a picture of myself as a complete follower, but the truth is, I'm absolutely indifferent on the subject of a restart. I'm the capitol of Ambivalence, demonstrated with the following conflicting icons:

Chaunk · May 16, 2002, 10:39

I'm all for restarting. As to time warp, its something different isn't it. I dunno though, I suppose I'm not too bothered either way on that.

One thing I would like though, is a little more land... please?

Mongoose · May 16, 2002, 10:47

All right! Concedo! Time warp if you want to.

How about faction choices? Same, re-roll, select?

Truth to tell, that doesn't matter to me, but... I'll take the Believers if nobody else wants them. That way, under whatever method is used, everyone will have a better chance of getting something they can live with.

KrysiasKrusader · May 16, 2002, 11:42

I like having random faction's assigned.
I like lots of ocean.
I like lots of fungus.
I don't like accelerated start. (a couple of CP's an a unity foil is fine though.)

IceCube · May 16, 2002, 11:51

althought I was begining to like the green and its budding social relations with the Morganites a restart sounds good to me if it will help keep the turns flowin.

Also I thing adding Mongoose is great! I'm playing another PBEM "MISC" with him and he's definatly reliable and timely...I'll vouch for him!

Also accelerated and ramndo factions is what I would vote for.

'Cube

Sin Man · May 16, 2002, 12:37

I don't like lots of ocean. The less ocean the better. I don't remember how the land set up works in Alpha Centauri, but I like huge map with as much of it land filled as possible.

Claw919 · May 16, 2002, 14:35

Cube: All the MISC players are here, in case you didn't notice.

Okie dokie, restart it is.

I'm going to *ASSUME* that rerolling factions is what everyone wanted, and that everyone just kind of accepts an accellerated start (though few people actually *want* it).

To get the game rolling again, I'll redo the random factions (including the Believers, but thanks for the offer, Mong) and plug everything into a game and send off the first turn. If someone has a problem with the above, please let me know so we can redo the game before it goes too far. There's like 20 game settings - if we vote on them all (ie. ocean, fungus, etc), we're going to be here for weeks until the game gets going, so I'll leave everything as it was last game.

Kosher? I'll send an email to all shortly.

Thanks, Mong, for stepping in.

Mongoose · May 16, 2002, 14:46

Sure, Claw. Whatever works.

Kindly restate what all of those settings are, though, for us latecomers.

knowhow2 · May 17, 2002, 01:46

If you need someone to hold your password. I can do it.

IceCube · May 17, 2002, 16:04
