Keygen's Factions Strife!

I have to contradict you here, GooglieRynn, Sunspots apply to humans as well. You won't be able to open the diplomacy screen when sunspots are on.

There is one catch though (that can be considered as a bug): if the diplo screen is open, and kept active (by, say, offering your map, or 0 energy, each turn), then you can keep exchanging information during the whole time.

As I told Tau Ceti via e-mail, I have some modem problems at home (details here). I have received all unit choices except mark13 and Misotu.

Will post a summary of the game settings here as soon as I can, and before sending the file to the first player.

Sorry my mistake.
You will take the Believers ...sister Rynn .

OK, I agree Tau Ceti.

If you are taken out early, you will be so far behind it is not even funny...

I don't mind. Accually I prefer not to restart the eliminated players! It was just in a previous post. Googlie's post I think .

Googlie, do you prefer to be called Rynn?

Keygen:

Just a little conventionI've had for almost a couple of years now (initially "tongue in cheek", now I use it to receive/distribute e-mails over 2 accounts)

For female characters I play as Rynn, (originally chosen when I had a "tempestuous affair" with Rynn of Drakan fame - soon tired of that game, tho), and would like Rynn games to be sent to:

rynn@civgaming.net

Aredhran:

I was sure I'd been in a seven player game that didn't block communications between sunspots. With 1 or more AI, or even empty slots, it does, IIRC the emails that went between us - but maybe we were keeping commlinks open with the 0 energy trick, which everyone seems to use (or "attack the Aliens" where they are in the game)

Trust you'll soon have your replacement modem

Hopefully Monday (keep your fingers crossed).

[Misotu]

Just to let you know that my wotsits info was emailed a few minutes ago ... thanks for taking this on, Aredhran

[mark13]

Sorry to be so slow - gimme a sec and they will be on their way....

We should decide how we will get scores every 10 turns to Solver. I don't think we should ask 'Red to do it.

Every 10 turns we post our scores to the thread. We will designate someone to assemble them and email to Solver, ccing everyone in the game. Once we have a governor or the EG, then we could nominate one of them to do it. I think the job should go to player with EG. What do you think?

I posted this in the Scoring Thread, and Solver said we could do it how we like. He was concerned about cheating, if we did it this way. I'm not concerned, cause anyone caught would be tarred and burned. (ie, not worth it)

[Keygen]

Until we find the appropriate player you will send me your scores and I will post the scores overall.

[Solver]

And please post in the ratings thread, not this one.
