I was only able to open the save he sent me most recently sent me, which I believe was a replay.

I played Mong's most recent turn though I did not get a replay message for either myself or Mong. SE changes cost 32 EC's for myself. I think this was discussed early on but I'm not 100% sure. Makes me feel better about being second last anyway!
I have emailed Googlie (yesterday) so i'm sure he'll get the messages.

Nonetheless, it's quite an advantage to play at a lower difficulty level than your opponents. No wonder 'my' position is so strong!

I found no reference to this in a quick skim through the two threads. Still, it's a fairly common occurrence...something to do woth using the force difficulty flag in the editor. There is a bit of discussion about it in one of the tournament threads at CGN.
So, how would you like to compensate me? Just send me all your unique techs & half your EC's & we'll call it quits. Sound fair?

I don't recall the number of turns. I seem to remember it's a fairly large number 100 or 200 maybe?Once upon a year, there was a forum discussion about this. I don't recall which Forum. It might have been .owo; it might have been ACOL before AnnC took it over; it might have been here at Apolyton. The only poster I am fairly sure I can remember as definitely involved in the discussion was MoSe/MariOne.
As far as compensation goes, I have no idea how to calculate a fair level. Seems to me that some part of the burden falls on the unobservant players who have carried on for over 100 turns and never noticed a discrepency. For how many of those turns were you and D pacted, H0bbes? You never thought to question how his bases could be so drone-free? None of you ever noticed your SE changes weren't costing the 40 ec they should? Who has the EG?
Having said all of that, this doesn't appear to be a fair game.We need to know what difficulty level the others are at before determining what, if any, compensation should be made.

I finished the turn, but I don't have Scipio Centaurus's email address and I can't seem to find it.
WOW this is an amazing game, and congrads to Hobbes for building 3/4 of the early game secret projects!
It really sucks that he has been playing with a disadvantage for such a long time. We should fix this if possible. In order to get him back in the running I propose we each give him 50EC per turn for 10 turns, that adds up to a whopping 1500EC. This should even the playing field somewhat.
I would like it if Hobbes and Scipio could fill me in on what has happened so far in this game diplomatically... by looking through the old threads all I saw was Hobbes saying "turn sent to my ex-pact mate SITS" Who has fought me, and when?
Anyways waiting for Scipio's email address... I am sending the game to Hobbes so that he can forward it to Scipio, that should speed things up a bit and it probably isn't so late at night in Australia.Last edited by Hendrik; November 3, 2002, 03:33.

I have been in a number of games- mostly the early AXT games where this occurred & I seem to remember that we either restarted in games that hadn't gone long or just simply carried on as any compensation was thought to be unworkable. If this is the standard bug, then everybody will be on Librarian- except one, in this case, me! Not sure why the game says it is Transcend though; by rights 1 should be on Transcend & the others on Librarian if that were so-- I think.
Will email Scipio & tell him to check this thread as he doesn't seem to post much here anymore.

As far as I know, nobody has fought against you.

His profile won't allow that though I did leave a message. If we don't hear back soon, I'll need you guys to sort it out as I'm going to the US & Canada for a month. My replacement for this game is: flubber4141@yahoo.com All turns & communication to him after the 8th of November.

Very sorry for putting such a delay in your game. I recently played the turn but now looking in the thread I see I've been replaced (fair enough). I wish you all well and hopefully I will be on here more often.'No room for human error, and really it's thousands of times safer than letting drivers do it.

I only played one turn, so it would be easy for everyone to resume play back before I started playing. You can take over again if you wish.
Anyways we can't seem to find Scipio Centaurus... this game hasn't been moving for a while.
