Assuming Arnie actually sent the saves to Beta.............

Arnelos · August 28, 2003, 04:52

Beta sent me an e-mail last night before I lost internet access for much of today. He is temporarily banned from poly for some "technicality", which is why he has not posted about the Balderdash PBEM.

He also needs Darekill's e-mail addy for sending on the save if anyone wants to send it to him.

Beta · August 29, 2003, 00:28

I'm baaaaack!

Sorry for the absence guys. It was forced. Uploading pictures (no GF, not those type), I was going to use in a pictoral essay, of sorts. But I guess they are really cracking down on this kind of thing, and I got caught.

So- sorry again about the delay. I needed to get into Poly to get Darekill's e-mail. The saves are now with him.

(I was posting in the other forum before I recalled that the pbem thread was set up)

My votes are:

First choice - game # 1
Second - game #4
Third - game #2
Fourth - game #3

GF - I think you set me up as the Persians, which is what I requested once I realized how the uu's were being handled.

Darekill · August 29, 2003, 01:55

My choice is:
1
4
3
2

Game 1 is kicking butt. I wonder if it ended up with a larger land percentage, usually larger land areas generate better maps.

I am confused. I set it up with what you requested in the PTWDG forum. Do you want a restart?

Apoly bans people for uploading pictures? The DemoGames are doomed if we can't upload screenshots.

This is just for setup. Once we start turn 2 with the winning game we will start a new thread with the Balderdash element. There was no way I was going to write four different versions only to throw three away.

UnOrthOdOx · August 29, 2003, 10:37

You can't upload non-civ (or other covered game) related materials IIRC.

Surprised no warning first, though.

/me wonders where the cartoons for various versions of my papers fall within the context of this rule

Tell us something we didn't know.

No. Who I have is fine. I wanted the Persians. And since I have Xerxes I assume that is who I have. I can't recall the techs. Hmm - BW and Masonry - so must be Persians.

* UnOrthOdOx wonders where the cartoons for various versions of my papers fall within the context of this rule

Yes - it was the 'non-game-related' issue. Although, my intent was to use them for game purposes - a bit like the cartoons.

I wasn't given a written warning. But I did try it a couple times - and since there was 12 pictures, I would get a few done - then come back the next day to do more - and noticed that the first ones were gone. I assumed it was a technical upload glitch, or that I had exceeded my 20 mb limit (I was trying to figure out how much 1mb really was and doing the math

), so I uploaded them again. Same thing. So, I cleaned out most of my old Vox files, and took the time one evening to upload all 12. That did it I think. Ming passed on my quick message, and I sent a note to Dan apologizing and explaining my intenet, and promising not to do it again, but *zap*...banned. I think the recent Poly issues have made them more sensitive to this kind of thing.

So, lesson learned. But I was thinking about things such as cartoons and the like. You may want to check.

Beta · August 29, 2003, 14:09

Maybe we should take game 4. Might be more interesting. Or even one of the middle ones. It sort of looks like everyone (so far) has similar starting positions in each of the games. If that is the case - maybe we should have a coin toss (two semi0finals and a final) to determine the map we use.

GodKing · August 29, 2003, 15:33

lets just see what it looks like first....
dk just pmed me asking for my email, which I pmed back to him. If he gets it to me soon, I will play it tomarrow morning.

UnOrthOdOx · August 29, 2003, 15:39

This marks several times I've seen the 4-game voting process, it seems that there is generally not allot of variation in the voting. It also seems that about 1-4 the RMG will just produce a sh*tty map, for all start positions.

Yep, I'm really curious to find out if it relates to water percentage.

Beta · August 30, 2003, 11:53

I needed a spot in an open forum to test attaching a file - which I have never done. So, here is a picture of the Atlantean Queen ....

Beta · August 30, 2003, 11:54

Works!

Just so you know - all non-Atlanteans are 'little' peoples. I want this to be clear from the start.

(Also - as everyone chose gane 1 as their first choice - I think we should start with another one - maybe game 4, which was the majority second choice. What say ye?)

ZargonX · September 1, 2003, 23:03

The Glorious Radiant Emperor Zar-Xu sees the conspiracy against him at work already. This "Game #1" fails to be his first choice, though for others it is clearly wondrous. Emperor Zar-Xu's votes are as follows:

1- Game 2
2- Game 3
3- Game 1
4- Game 4

The Glorious Radiant Emperor Zar-Xu is against this. If we don't want to use his third choice, why use his fourth?

Aggie · September 2, 2003, 00:30

Save played and I see no way that the great ottomans could ever lose. Victory is assured all others can just give up.

Darekill · September 2, 2003, 01:49

Oh that is convincing!

Me give up! Me give up!

I was suposed to lie here, wasn't I ?

GodKing · September 2, 2003, 09:00

No no no. not over there. over here. you are supposed to act as my shield PRIOR to dying. That way GF would waste all his bad breath on you and leave us glorious arabs untouched.

GhengisFarb™ · September 2, 2003, 10:11

We may not be playing squat if I can't remember my password.

Darekill · September 3, 2003, 00:49

Aren't you able to remeber a single PW all my games have the same PW: It is "Felix"! I can't forget that.

Oh and don't you try to use this PW of mine. It won't work

UnOrthOdOx · September 3, 2003, 10:46

Yep, you have to have a standard Pword. All my games are done under "Alec2147"
