Well timed Tau! I leave for university tomorrow, and it's unlikely I'll have time to both play and send the turn before I go. With luck, it'll be sent between Friday and Wednesday. Sorry guys!

[KingAardvark]

What version of AC should we be using? Does it matter?
I currently have crossfire installed and patched to 2.0, although
I *think* I backed-up the original game before I installed crossfire.
I know I had problems with saved games between patches, and I could imagine that the same thing could happen if we're not all using the same version.

[Tau Ceti]

Use the 4.0 patch for AC, 2.0 for Crossfire. Crossfire includes the 4.0 patch for AC, so you should not need to change anything there. Surely everyone uses the latest patches?

[mark13]

Yeah, I think we're all using the SMAC 4.0 patch (I hope so anyway). Also, thanks to Tau Ceti for setting this game up.

Just making sure it doesn't slip off the top page, so....

*bump*

Turn sent to the Peacekeepers....

[Chowlett]

Ok. Problems obtaining passwords for my new email system, but turn finally sent on to KingAardvark.

Not that it really makes any difference, but it was sent from an @cam.ac.uk address. Don't use that one - it may not like attachments and I can probably still get freeserve mail anyway. I just as yet don't have a personal IP address (or working network card...), so am using a departmental computer. SHOULD be up and running fully by the weekend...

[mark13]

Should that have been the first turn? It's just, well, the game normally starts on 2101....


2103 to Chowlett

[Tau Ceti]

All random/Planet games start in 2102, as I play the first turn (doing nothing) to set the passwords. This does give the AIs a 1 turn head start, but that should not be a problem.

2103 to Spartans

[Stephen Barnes]

Turn sent onward to the Peacekeepers...

[mark13]

2104 to Chowlett.......

I wonder if MorganIndustries.com realise that their website is being visited by hundreds of SMACers?

[Chowlett]

Turn to Morgan.

Am now fully operational - you can definitely use the freeserve address, but I can't email out on that account, so anything you get from me will be from crh37@cam.ac.uk
