Yes, I did reload several times, but I did not brake any rule, ergo I did not cheat.

Just several? I find that VERY hard to believe...

Directly translated from Norwegian several means A LOT!.

Jeg trodde det bare betydde en del jeg

Alot would be "kjempemange"

I know, just wanted to brag about the fact that i'm Norwegian as well.

Well I don't know just what we do with this game, but I think the first thing to do would be to post on all your PBEM threads what happened here. I'm sure there are many players who are as strict on the issue as conmcb25 is, and it'd be unfair to hide this from them. Let the players in each game make their own decisions.

Dr. Nick · February 19, 2003, 13:24

I say he dls it once again and plays it again. Without reloading to the death.

JamesJKirk · February 19, 2003, 13:31

That sounds okay, I'm just worried about how we can be sure that it won't happen again. Or if we'll have to scrutinize every little conquest that Britain makes

Well, that decision will have to lie with him.

I am not a dishonest player.

Anyway, I replayed my turn. I manged to capture Athens in the first try with a veteran Steam Warhip. I bombarded Beirut with a regular Steam Warship and finished the native rifles unit with a veteran Warship. But then I realized that I forgot to carry with me a unit to capture the city. I started over again and even this time I managed to capture Athens in the first try. I didn't even bother to test my luck on Beirut this time, but I have lined up two warships for a new try next turn (one veteran and one regular).

* Civil war in Athens, British influence suspected.
* World trade continues. The revenues has been used to rush build constructions all over our mighy empire.

See what did I tell you!

And you captured Athens twice on the first try, eh?

Why do I have a feeling that if you continue you'll get Beirut with no problem either?

Yes, I did!

Even I can't tell the future, but I will indeed try.

Eivind IV · February 20, 2003, 22:48

Please guys, spare your suspicion for someone else. I never lie!

Darius871 · February 21, 2003, 00:28

Could you possibly post a copy of your rules file? Maybe that's the source of the problem altogether. There's no way in hell Athens was emptied in the first try twice in a row, so maybe your rules file is screwed up.

Eivind IV · February 21, 2003, 09:12

I have not touched the rules-file. Yes, it is possible to empty Athens twice in a row, I just told you.

JamesJKirk · February 24, 2003, 17:45

This thread seems to have disappeared for some reason, so I'm bumping it so I can see what the rules file check determined and if anyone has any comments on what we should do

Darius871 · February 24, 2003, 19:31

No, the rules file is correct. But then emptying Athens twice is... impossible... but he rules file is correct... I...

Eivind IV · February 24, 2003, 21:23

If you only knew how wrong you are... Why are you so stubborn? It IS possibe to empty Athens twice in a row, otherwise I wouldn't have managed to do it.

Please, play on...

I'm not the only one who thinks it isn't possible; anyone who plays that test file can see the odds are about 1 in 70. The odds of getting it twice in a row are therefore about 1 in 490. That doesn't necessarily mean you cheated. In fact I'm sure you didn't cheat, because had you done so you wouldn't have reported that you got it twice in a row and aroused suspicion.

That being said, what I'm actually worried about is that either something is wrong with your scenario files or with your Civ2 in general.

I know it should be very hard, that's why I got so shocked when I managed to do it twice in a row. Still the odds are there, though they are very marginal.

I really glad you're saying this

Well, that maybe. I can install it all over again, and see if that helps...

Can we please play on?

Dr. Nick · February 25, 2003, 09:32

With all this disbelieving going around you should have tried harder NOT to get Athens in one go. You should have blasted ships left and right if you emptied Athens, against other pointless targets. If solely to preserve your credibility.

Darius871 · February 28, 2003, 13:59

Well, I guess we're playing on so your go Jim.

The tribesmen of the Rif rise in anger against the European dogs! Berber warrior swarm out of the hills and descend upon the European settlements in the coastal lowlands!

Entrance to Black Sea Closed Temporarily

President Kurkov has announced that for the next couple months, the Black Sea shall be closed to all traffic without prior written consent from the Russian government. The reason for this is classified, but is said to involve routine training maneuvers. For our American friends currently in the Black Sea, move to these coordinates:
150, 66
and we will give you access out.
