The "While we are waiting" game

[Googlie]

While we are waiting for Buster, I'll set up a minigame just for fun (we can "hone our skills" until the real game gets started)

teams
Angels
Gaians
Morgan
Sparta

AI
Drones
Cult
Believers

(AI chosen to give a bit of oppo to the teams)

I'll e-mail a password to a players in each of the 4 factions

in turn order:

laurentius for the Gaians
Googlie for Morgan
Jamski for Sparta
FlameFlash for the Angels

and you can publish it in your private forum. If we post the turns here then any team member can open it and play the turn - that way it'll keep moving

(It'll be vanilla AI - I won't set it up as a scenario, but just as a multiplayer start and then set passwords, so the first turn will be 2102)

What's the turnplay order btw?

[Googlie]

as set out above

(and although I did have to open the first turn of each to set the passwords, I didn't look at the start positions, so have no idea where everyone is - that way I can play in the Morgan team to test out some of our differing visions as to how to structure the faction)

[Snowflake]

Yey! Can't I play the believers? Just kidding.

[Googlie]

HH - I've PM'd you the password as well (I don't have your e-mail addy - see the PM)

[GeoModder]

Can I have the first Angel (and password) turn too? Just in case FlameFlash is too busy...

Everybody, be sure to make lots of mistakes and try zany strategies that probably won't work. That way we won't be tempted to adopt this as the real ACDG3 if there's a delay.

[Googlie]

GM:

I've sent it you via 'Poly's e-mail system (and asked you to send me an e-mail - anything - just to get your addy on file)

LOL - that's exactly what I said in our Morgan forum - one of the dangers of using the same factions (we might get too wedded to this one)

To recap:

No AI tweaks (except "intense rivalry")
Transcend level, large map, 50% to 70% water, average everything
All winning conditions on
No random events
Directed research
Spoils of war on
game-generated start positions with usual start units (ie no scenario tweaks)

Please post zipped turns hhere as attachments - that way any team member can download and play the turns (and the first turn posted by a team member will be that team's official turn - so check before posting that there's not a pre-emptive one already in the sytem

Googlie: done as requested. Thanks!

[Kody]

Sounds like that hyperSMAC that we tried to get going but never took off.

[Googlie]

Exactly, K. I was cleaning up my old ACDG turnsaves and saw the original Hypersmac one, and that gave me the idea of having a quickie game while we wait for Buster's re-appearance

[Googlie]

Hmm - gaian turn still not downloaded after an hour

We'll never get to Transcend in a week at this rate!!

(just bumping)

Ha - found a better way to bump

[Chaunk]

Abuse of mod powers that!

Perhaps the Gaians could get on with thier turn please?

[Maniac]

How about untopping the threads of the previous ACDG, as we already have 8 topped threads now?
