Damn

Pictures don't load.

I guess Poly still isn't feeling to well, although at least it's not totally crippled anymore

VetLegion · October 8, 2003, 18:10

You must be showing my undefended cities? Is there a better way to demonstrate I am a peace loving hippie?

Anyway, I'll post the stories for last weak and this in the story thread as soon as I get some quality writing time. I encourage others to do so too, this is a diplogame after all

And, is the issue with regards to save file & rules.txt resolved now? All of us have to have the rules.txt in order for game to show strings properly? That's it?

Good session everyone, looking forward to the next.

germanos · October 9, 2003, 03:40

Well, sort of.
I was posting the city/unit list
Slavs have 14 cities and 5 units

Ethiopia: 13 cities/31 units
Fryslan : 9 cities/27 units
Maori : 13 cities/18 units
Chinese 9 cities/23 units.
The powerGraph, for what its worth, shows all of us close together

and you are not the peace loving Hippie you claim to be, you just have a lousy army

i agree with your request for stories

Last week I didn't have much time, did write something, but wanted to redo some. I'll post it now regardless, I'll try to do better for this week.

Vet: how did you get all those pictures in your post? I can only upload one at the time

your post looks really cool!

atawa · October 9, 2003, 18:21

germanos: use the upload feature and then insert them with [img] tags.

Btw, can someone update rules.txt? I changed Mikes name

Well, you learn something new everyday.

Today I found out that my allies know all the techs I posses! Duh! I was allready wondering why people were so keen on signing alliances upon meeting them, but now I know

We had a killer session tonight, where apparently something was rotten in the rules file. In the end, since the names of the players were screwed from session one, I ended up negotiating with the Chinese, who I though to be winzity (lightblue), but it was in fact atawa, the Maori

Trying to keep the pace in the game, I did wonder why he needed literacy, that I thought I had gotten from him (well, I mean winzity here), but I thought: well what the heck, I want his tech anyway

Oh God! All I can say be carefully! You don't know who you are talking to!

I think the problem we have with changes in rules.txt is because we don't run it as a senario. I play now in a new game with the same map, and it's run as senario, and we have no problems!

To run as a senario we need to create a sub folder in the senario folder and put saves and rules.txt there.
I think it will work much better!

Ljube · October 13, 2003, 11:50

Winz, that's because rules.txt is read locally when it comes to titles and the names of nations and rulers.
I'm sure we won't have any problem tomorrow, once all of us have the same rules.txt

By the way are you planning to be regular in our Saturday game?

winzity · October 13, 2003, 19:10

I have an important meeting. I am trying to find a sub, but it looks hard.
One way is to play on another time this week, all other evenings are good for me except friday.

If a sub will show he is told to ICQ Atawa.

Ljube · October 13, 2003, 19:19

Winz, post your save please.

winzity · October 14, 2003, 01:31

Here is the save:

atawa · October 14, 2003, 13:09

Makeo will sub

Makeo · October 14, 2003, 13:13

Prepare for the reign of mad king makeo

winzity · October 14, 2003, 19:05

Great of you to help me by subbing! If you need help by subbing or something else I will be happy to help you!

winzity · October 14, 2003, 19:07

I want to see my civ...

germanos · October 15, 2003, 02:27

see the History of Mankind thread

Can't beleive you missed that one

Ljube · October 21, 2003, 13:29

Here is the save from our last session.

I know germanos posted it in another thread, but since I was the host, I think the host of the next session should download my save.

Atawa, what about renaming your wonder?

Ljube · October 21, 2003, 13:31

I forgot to attach the save.

atawa · October 22, 2003, 18:15

I updated Mike and Magalan.

atawa · October 22, 2003, 18:18

I propose we all make a new folder in the scenario folder, name it HOM and put it there.
It kinda sucks having to change your rules txt every time you play online.

germanos · October 23, 2003, 03:57

Guys: We have banned Great Wall (which is by some viewed as too powerfull), and I have been wanting to ask this for a long time:
Shouldn't we ban Leonardo's Workshop as well?
I mean, this is the most ridiculous Wonder I know: there is no historical paralel, and I have allways found the effect more something for a Sci-Fi scen or so.

I would very much like to ban this monster

winzity · October 25, 2003, 02:54

I vote ban.

atawa · October 25, 2003, 09:48

I dont realy care, we set 4 wonders max and Leo's sure as hell is not going to be my forth

Ljube · October 25, 2003, 10:08

Mine neither! Especially after I built stupid colossus.

VetLegion · October 28, 2003, 14:57

I won't build it for sure, would make a terrible first wonder

germanos · October 28, 2003, 15:03

Fine, through the drain with it then!

atawa · November 3, 2003, 11:45

About tomorrow:

Last week we started an hour earlyer (7PM GMT+1 instead of 8)
Do we want to keep that startingtime or are we going back to 8PM?

Ljube · November 3, 2003, 13:03

Did we really start at 7 PM?

By the way atawa, when speaking to fellow Europeans, you can freely use 24 hour notation (7 PM = 19:00).

atawa · November 3, 2003, 14:06

I'll remember that next time

And yeah, we started at 7PM since we were all there, doesnt matter to me witch time we start (3 weeks off

)but would like to know in advance.

germanos · November 3, 2003, 16:23

No, we surely didn't start at 1900

Atawa, maybe this is a good time to turn back the clock: the civilized world has ended the Daylight Saving Time a week ago.

Have you been wonderig why the shops close at five as well?

.

atawa · November 3, 2003, 18:01

I had the first of my 3 weeks holiday last week.

Things were kinda hazy

germanos · November 4, 2003, 14:35

I had a hunch your holiday could have contributed to the confusion
