I didn't like MOO3, the blue made my eyes hurt. I think the black/grey of SMAC works for me

FlameFlash · May 2, 2003, 20:11

So, are transparencies allowed or not?

Method · May 2, 2003, 20:39

yes they're allowed, but markos "thinks they'd look better with a background"

Although ideally the SMAC colour scheme would be red/green

Yummy

Heh... finally tried one... really like the SMAC over the MOO3... CTP2 and CivIII just sucked.

Method · May 3, 2003, 15:09

has anyone asked someone to be our CMN yet?

FlameFlash · May 3, 2003, 15:10

Say, should some of the stuff that's currently topped really be topped these days?

Don't know... has anybody PMed Googlie yet?

Method · May 3, 2003, 15:28

i think maniac was, but i don't remember what came of that.

as for topped threads, i'd say the CNN (if GT is planning to continue it) and FAQ thread (i'll update it after the game starts) can stay up

Nope I haven't. It wasn't really sure everyone is ok with him. Besides, not at all relevant polls are finished yet if I'm not mistaken. What exactly do we have to say to our CMN concenring AI factions? Can he pick them himself, or pick the ones chosen by us? And should they be beefed up or not?
And concerning the map, does the CMN get a full carte blanche, or does he have to follow some of our recommendations after all, like a large-sized map? Once that is decided, I think a CMN can work something out, and a game can be started.

Method · May 5, 2003, 20:51

ok, so are we ready for private forums now? once we are, someone just PM markos, or let me know so I can. I personally would like a little time to plot/scheme while the CMN is setting the game up

The game's going to be difficult enough I suspect, without beefed up AIs. Just
their normal ability at Transcend will do fine.

I don't know if everyone else on the team is ready, but I certainly am. I want to start ~~carrying out experiments on entire societies to see what happens~~ ermmm...

ummm... discussing strategy... yes, that's it...

FlameFlash · May 6, 2003, 19:56

I'm ready!

Hercules · May 6, 2003, 21:37

I also think we should have a recruitment thread in the general SMAC/X MP and General /Strategy forums topped for a while.

FlameFlash · May 6, 2003, 23:13

probably need to make an Admin request for that, but it sounds like a good idea.

Drogue · May 7, 2003, 04:06

Yep, let's advertise

Maniac · May 10, 2003, 17:25

Does anyone know what happened to Kassiopeia? He hasn't posted much lately. I mean, I noticed I now even have a bigger postcount than he has.

Method · May 10, 2003, 17:32

[16:26:32] Method> is kassi dead or something? i havn't seen him here or on the forums lately
[16:26:38] Rasbelin> TKG: yes.

and ColdWizards sig on CGN:
* ari puts a white cloth over a table in the corner and calls it an altar *
* ari brings a goat, lays its head on the altar and severs its throat with a sacrificial knife while chanting: *
ari> Kassiopeia, oh brightstar! Kassiopeia, oh lifegiver! Our chatroom is empty, our users are idle? We mere humans may not live without your guidance!

IOW, nobody really knows. perhaps he's "pulling a Cybergod"?

Maniac · May 10, 2003, 17:43

Well he hasn't disappeared completely, as his last post made was only yesterday. The post said this:

Besides that, it has indeed been a few days since he posted.

Drogue · May 11, 2003, 07:34

Which chat was that from. I still can't get that **** Java thingy to work

It always says there's no one in there. What am I doing wrong?

Method · May 11, 2003, 09:00

uhm. it's a secret

Spoiler:

Drogue · May 11, 2003, 09:05

CGN ICQ??? or different style of chat? Instructions please

Fnally a chat I can use

Method · May 11, 2003, 09:13

well you'll have to register at CGN, for starters

Drogue · May 11, 2003, 09:47

I have. I post on OTF there occasionally.

Hercules · May 11, 2003, 10:20

Well Kass is one of the Moderators at CGN irc.

Jamski · May 11, 2003, 12:52

Something went wrong with the world there.

-Jam

Method · May 11, 2003, 12:59

yes, but i think they have the right idea confining the finns to their own forum rather than letting them plague the OT with their cursed suomithreadis. but you know the world has gone wrong when Kassi has evil control over an IRC channel

Drogue · May 12, 2003, 06:04

And I even voted for him for the Hall of Fame for "services to chat"
