I indeed notice that you speach were rather forcefully conviction than mutual agreement on a discussion.

I made a statement. Youn replied by completely missing the point. I then repeated the statement rather more forcefully. You responded by complaining about how i made that statement. If you had actually done soemthing other than make spurious comments abotu what I had said, I wouldn't have shouted, but you didn't.

And I indeed forgot to mention the game reasons : A DG sounds funnier if people advocates different ideals than to do calculations to determine which one is the quickest, more efficient, etc... We're not the Consciousness...

So you put your ideals ahead of what you admit is actually best for our faction?

Method · February 6, 2003, 20:27

there, now i've put custom graphics on everyone (except cedayon, who has no avatar

) just for fun. i hope they work though, i'm about to test them in the game now.

EDIT: the attachment's too big, so here's an example. archaic's faction

EDIT2: there was a problem with the archaic.txt file. it's fixed now, so if you've already downloaded the .zip, get it again, this time with the fixed .txt

Method · February 6, 2003, 20:32

heh. boy, is it going to be weird talking to a giant fist

Maniac · February 6, 2003, 20:58

Do you have any for me as well?? If so, did you use my avatar as the faction symbol or the faction leader graphic?

Method · February 6, 2003, 21:04

i'd use it for the leader unless you specify otherwise, but i didn't make yours yet since you didn't pick a faction

and whilst i'm here....
EDIT: this one updated too. get it again if you already have

Maniac · February 6, 2003, 21:37

Well I'd prefer it for the faction symbol. Perhaps you could use the face in the attached file to represent me. He is also used to represent Peter maniac Smith of the Anarchists in the Mars scenario, which should hopefully appear soon on civ.org.pl and CGN. I've mailed it to them and they told me they would put it on the side, but so far no luck.

As for my faction, I won't decide until I know what the game rules and mapsort will be.

Method · February 6, 2003, 21:39

scenario editor fun

(i'll see if i can fix that blue background on herc)

Maniac · February 6, 2003, 21:43

Ah yes, those blue backgrounds... Very problematic indeed. I've had problems with those before, almost to the point of me giving up on faction file editing. I'm still not sure what causes it.

I think I'll give my own faction a try.

Maniac · February 6, 2003, 21:57

I seem to having some troubles with my Corel House.

It'll have to be for another time.

Hercules · February 6, 2003, 23:08

Lord Hercules, Yes it has a certain ring. Great fun

Cedayon · February 6, 2003, 23:14

Hmm, Archaic's the only University player... Hey, everyone, we need to steal the VW!

Archaic · February 7, 2003, 00:00

*Would like to point out the fact that he's winning in RTT even though the Believers stole the VW*

Method · February 7, 2003, 18:29

by the way tacticus: i hope you like the angels

GeneralTacticus · February 7, 2003, 20:29

Did you use the Data Angel graphics?

Archaic · February 7, 2003, 21:33

Maniac, chosen your faction yet?

GeneralTacticus · February 7, 2003, 21:36

I think he said he wanted to know what map we were using before he chose.

yup, look at your faction symbol in that council shot

i gave myself the pirates and let cedayon have the regular morgan graphics. just thought it would be really confusing having 3 morgans.

i could change it to something else if you want. it'd be quite simple (angels just happened to be the first in alphabetical order)

GeneralTacticus · February 7, 2003, 22:13

Assuming no-one else wants to use them, I'd prefer to go witht he PK graphics.

Method · February 7, 2003, 22:39

ok, well since this is too big to attach, download the entire set from here (that *should* work)

GeneralTacticus · February 7, 2003, 22:43

Thanks.

It'll probably be DDUBM, unless there's some major problem with that. Should we put it to a vote?

GeneralTacticus · February 8, 2003, 01:05

Sorry if it seems a stupid question... but what exactly *IS* DDUBM?

Cedayon · February 8, 2003, 01:05

DDUBM sounds fine to me... (it stands for Dilithium Dad's Ultimate Builder Map)

Someone's, ah, going to have to tell me how to, uh, play PBEM, though

GeneralTacticus · February 8, 2003, 01:15

Basically, you recieve your turn via email, load it, enter your password, play the turn, end it, and click 'save & exit' on the next player's password screen. Then zip the file and email it on to the next player.

GeneralTacticus · February 8, 2003, 01:19

And about DDUBM - where can I find it?

EDIT: Never mind, I found it.

GeneralTacticus · February 8, 2003, 02:48

btw, here's my faction with the names personalized a bit (IIRC, you have to have it on your computer, or else the names don't work properly).

Method · February 8, 2003, 11:29

BTW, here's the map if you don't have it

MrWhereItsAt · February 8, 2003, 12:08

So... since I don't have access to SMAC yet, what's with the map? Why this one, what is it like etc? And are we doing SMAX or SMAC? And what version? And when am I able to choose my bloody faction and let everyone get on with things? Oh... Three days or so. It's about time! Well, suits you. Assclown.

Maniac · February 8, 2003, 12:13

Well, I'd prefer to play the Pirates, but that's kind of annoying with DiDad's map where lots of land mass has been added, and where the land has been improved for builders, but not the sea.

Method · February 8, 2003, 12:15

that, and i've stolen their graphics
