Yes close it down! If necessary, "liberate" a few Hive bases to gain enough population, and declare yourself Supreme Leader.

*sigh*... When the folks doing the brunt of the real work want it done, I guess it should be done... with you three that pretty much leaves GT. What's he think?

I agree. Much as I want to transcend, victory by diplomacy seems apt.

OK, but I'm going to play on from the last save, so that I can trancend (on my own - ha!) and become your GOD!

Fine by me.

Also, it'd create a nice statistical quirk - I would be Director for only two terms, the first and the last.

Two notes.

1) Don't use color=silver. The poor folk addicted to the old grey forum style might want to have a word with you on that (I'm using MOO3 mind you). Use /me instead.

2) No playing ahead

1.) I'm on MoO3 style too, so I forget what it'll look like.
2.) No fear - this will be playing behind

Well I am in two minds. I always like to finish by transcend but whatever is quicker I suppose. Certainly the challenge has gone. Though I would like to decommission more boreholes.

Recommended procedure:

1) change all land bases that don't have some REALLY pressing need to produce the most expensive crawler they can easily (ie through minerals or with a small rush) finish by next turn.
2) next turn, take as many of the new crawlers as necessary and insta-build the Cloning Vats somewhere (New Apolyton was polled for it)
3) pass turns, possibly taking bases from Yang if you feel like it to expedite things
4) at the end of the turnchat, if we've got, say, 1300-1500 votes, convene the planetary council to elect us as supreme leader, and laugh all the way to the bank as we essentially establish a planetary dictatorship over the heads of all the other factions

I'd be fine with that idea, but I rather doubt we could get enough players. We only have about 10 or so active ones now, so imagine what it would be like if we had just 3-4 teams.

*sigh*

colour=grey (down with needless removal of Us ) is illegible on the MOO3 style too

You see, MOO3 style too has two different sorts of background colours for posts. A darker and lighter shade of blue. With /me, the colour will be automatically either darker or lighter, depending on the background. It's dynamic in that sense. So, I recommend that if you want to use * WoA, change your nick to WoA...

It's just that this irks me (I have two pet peeves, this is the other one), used to irk me on the IRC channels too when people used any colours they wanted. Luckily, most IRC clients can strip colour coding from text. The Poly forum, unfortunately, can not.

Hmmmm......a good point, though I'd think with smaller teams, it'd be easier to get some of the more experienced PBEM players into the gig.

GT, i believe it has to be on a new line /me <-- doesn't work?

/me on newline does work...its automatically converted.

Ok, it seems the reason why it hasn't worked for me in the past was that I'd always tried to test it using the preview fuction, which it would seem does not register it.
