Not always, no.

MWIA, stay away from the faction editor and stick to plain text. Faction editor screws everything up. It's too buggy.

Amen to that...

Is "eventually" code for "for a reasonable fee", Mr.Xenomonopoly?

[Method]

no, it's code for "if i have time"

I wonder will the SMACDG PBem start before the SMACDG ends.

Ok, as TKG can't post it himself, here are the final faction files:

*BUMP* (sort of) Apparently TKG hadn't quite finished setting up the factions properly, so here is the revised set:

With that out of the way, assumign no-one has anything else to say about the rules, I believe we can get going.

Hello there,
Archaic asked me to be your CMN, and I have accepted. I tried getting a hold of Archaic yesterday (Wednesday evening my time) but have not heard back from him as to my questions. So I have read thru your thread and ascertained that this is to be a SMAX game, with the humans having the following factions:

Archaic - University

Cedayon - Morgan

GeneralTacticus - Morgan

Hercules - Deirdre

Maniac - Pirates

MisterWhereIsItAt - Cyborg

TKG - Morgan (edit: three Morgans - is this right?)


Also, the rules to date are as follows:

Game: SMAX

Do or Die: eliminated players are not restarted

Spoils of War off

Non-Blind (directed) research

No random events

All victory conditions allowed including cooperative. Coop victory is limited to two players (Not including any players made submissive to either of those two).

Unity survey off - map is unknown

Look first on

I'm assuming you want potluck from there, which I can easily provide.

I've told Archaic that, because there are so many players, that it'll take me a little longer to set up this map, simply to ensure a good starting location for all (i.e. I'll play out the game probably about 70 turns, to ensure that no one is at a distinct disadvantage, and I'll keep doing this until I am satisfied that it is a fair game), and so I set a time of no later than a week from this coming Sunday I should have the game up and running.
Finally, anybody got an idea as far as the name for this game, so that I can name the turn tracking thread with it?

Sorry I couldn't get back to you on that yesterday D. Everything there seems in order.

[Cedayon]

Looks right to me.

[GeneralTacticus]

And to me.

Well sorry to bother you all, but I'd *still* like to hear the opinion of everyone about giving everybody an extra (sea) colony pod and scout patrol/unity foil, and on a less important note concerning random events. Some have given their opinion, but not all, and none of my proposals is included in Darsnan's post.

For a title: "Clash of Economies" ? Though since Pandemoniak hasn't joined this game, there might not be a clash after all.

[GeneralTacticus]

I don't really care either way.
