CMNing since: 2003
CMN skill level: master
Status: available for advice, returning to active status in about 2 weeks.
Average CMN Rate (how often per time period you can make a game, say "one per month"): depends on difficulty level of game: for Newbies, can do in less than a week, whereas games for highly skilled players can take up to 2 weeks.
Notes: tweaking AIs, keen on creating maps, tendency to suprise players. I can go on here, but you get the idea....

CMNing since: 2000 --SMAC only, not SMAX
CMN skill level: lazy apprentice
Status: currently inactive with exceptions
Average CMN Rate: Could do a minimalist setup within two weeks
Notes: Map master (see Ultimate Builder Map), AI tweaker, but I have trouble with advanced things like prebuilds and extra units and setting turn order other than GHUMSBP. I prefer to let the map provide the acceleration.

What does CMN mean?

**binTravkin** · November 1, 2005, 02:02

The one who makes balanced scenarios for PBEM and other multiplayer games, holds the passwords, ensures fairness in case of doubt of cheating, is a respectable person in overall and does many other things, that simple mortals do not..

Actually stands for:

Creator (of the game, passwords, etc)
Moderator (to ensure fairness, no cheating, etc etc and resolve buggy disputes)
Narrator (now largely unused - used to write up a running ten or twenty year history of what was happening among the various factions - to be published at game end)
