Mac SMAC PBeM 2

[Baston]

Like ashman i am keen to get gaming as soon as possible. Join this game if you want to get playing as soon as possible. In fact join as many games as possible!!!

Hey Baston, I'm ready to play SMAC. If I can be University, that'd suit my preferences. Otherwise, I'll take any other faction.

[illiria]

Hey, sure I would join as many games as possible... I would like to be the hive, if noone else wants it

[iMac722]

Sure, I'd like to join, I'd be the gaians,University or Spartans, just tell me when, and how do I join.

You know, Brad Oliver did a HUGE amount of work to make the Mac PBEM files compatible with Windows -- lots of nasty-endian byte swapping. It seems like a shame to waste his effort and segregate ourselves.

I propose that any Mac SMAC'er who is really GOOD at the game should head out to the other side of Apolyton and show the M$ guys what we can do.

You didnt answer my question, how do I join the game from the main menu? How do I play over the net?

[Stumpy]

I wouldn't want us to have two identical games running at the same time, but I'm interested in getting in on another game, if you haven't started this one yet. I'll be whatever faction hasn't been picked, no preferences here.

Hey iMac.. the way a play-by-email game works is someone starts the game off, and then when they're done with their turn they email it to whoever's turn is next. When you get the turn mailed to you, you'll have to unstuffit and then load it from Multiplayer-Load Game. I just learned that yesterday, though, so I'm no expert!

I will be starting the game tonight. UK GMT.

If there's still a slot left, sign me up! I have no faction preference, btw.
