  • my return from beyond the galaxies black hole

    Ok, whoever is still out there. I have returned, my thesis is turned in and I guess I will have time (again). Can everybody please resend the turns I missed?

    Good to have you back.

    I'll send you the turn file from the drone game today. Now if only the others would emerge from their black holes we could get started again.

      Does it always take this long for players to come back?

      Sorry, I know everyone has a life to live, but please don't forget us.

      Peace -

        Greetings,
        I haven't been near any blackholes, at least none that I recall. These past several weeks, or it may be months, I have been suffering from amnesia. I have just regained my true identity when an icicle fell smac on my head nearly piercing my cranium. Because of the happy return of my memory, I am anxious to find some diversion from several paternity cases now pending by playing some smax. I suggest a brand new game for a brand new year to tide us over until Civ III and MoO III come our way.

        Hey, Illiria, what is your thesis about?

            Status update

            Sorry guys, was sucked back into the hole...

            My thesis (for my chemistry diploma/master's) was about cloning some subdomains of myosin V -> molecular biology / biochemistry. Nothing spectacular and nothing I would love to do again. I am glad it is over...

            Re: games. I would love to start another game, 3 or 4 players? But not more than 2 games.
            I am also waiting for MoO III. Is it going to be pbem? Or is Civ II pbem?

            Also: our (Flomper and me) pet project SteamWeasel is getting close to its first release (alpha, far from feature complete). If any of you are into programming or game design, feel free to join us! http://steamweasel.sourceforge.net
            It is written in Cocoa/OpenGL and is purely pbem although we will have single player modes if we ever get to the AI part... Also we are not doing a sequential pbem where a game can get stcuk by one player not playing, but a multi-tasked pbem with a serve that processes turns no matter if you send your turn or not. "Queue" Is the big word here..and you need to plan ahead.
            And if you guys dont have time now, we will be looking for beta testers in a year or so..

              Oh good, everyones back. Well almost.

              I have started playing a new PBEM with the PC users while you were gone. You can skim the thread if you want.

              Since not all of us returned, I think a new game would be great. If we can keep a new game going I sugjest that we ask googlie to setup; because, I was very pleased with the way he setup the other game I'm in.

                Its been a sad lot to continue to see no posts in the Smac Mac forum.
                because of that, i stopped checking it. Consequently, imagine my surprise when not only do i see posts, but i actually see a new game developing. If there is room, i would gladdly join (my internet is working, too).

                              For speed reasons I think it best to stick to 4 players per game. Shall I get Googlie to set up it up, or should we do it ourselves? Eather way, we need to chose our prefered game rules, map size, and factions.

                              Factions in choice order: Morgan, Spartans, Believers
                              Game: SMAC
                              Map: Standard / Rainy & Flat

                              Rules: I don't mind these much.
