Hooray let's play Imperialism

[Civfan]

hi everyone. I'm having abit of trouble with the pbem games. It seems units are moving by themselves. My unit that moved towards German border was fortified and i used Ctrl +N to end the turn. It seems however this didn't work. I'm also having this problem with units running by themselves in other scenarios. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Civfan.

Maybe your ctrl button is broken

Please Britain, listen to the voices of the rest of this world. Despite the fact that you are the greatest country, that doesn´t give you the right to block oceans or seas.
Ok, you can do it in the English Channel (it´s inside your sphere of influence) but blocking the entrance to the MEditerranean?? At least 4 nations have access to these waters. You can´t deny them access to their own ports.
REally, we urge you to reconsider your position; make up your mind and change your position. Otherwise, you´ll have to face more and more anti-british comments. Don´t isolate yourself, don´t play the role of the superpower nation.
From time to time, it´s good to listen to your neighbours.

Ready

You say our statements are over the top, well rather an over the top statement than an over the top war.

The Empire of Japan would like to know what the British view is on these recent events.

Britain, even though you live on a home island, much like Japan, you can not isolate yourselves and turn into international pariahs. Not even the British Empire can live without trading with their neighbours. If I were you I would take these comments from your neighbours seriously.

Hmm weird: units moving on their own ?

Well I'm always using the "end turn" menu in the menubar. This is the same but this way you can be sure it will work moreover I'm pressing my "Ctrl +N" keys about 10 times to make sure that guys stay were they should be.

Official Statement from the PM of the British Empire

Britiain is dismayed at France's lack of cooperation with regards the blockades. We are willing to put a reasonable offer down on the table, say, 100 gold quarterly for free access of the Mediterranian, yet you reject our every offer, and even have gone so far as to begin blockading British waters! Therefore, we are forced to take extreme measures to protect British trade. Until further notice, the west coast of France is to be made inaccessable to both French ships leaving the ports of Nantes and Bordeux, and ships entering. Ships wishing to trade with France may access Northern France through the English Channel, and we apologise if any other nation's trade is affected. We are open to negotiation, France. We would recommend you come to the table France, as we have a powerful navy.

The Mediterranian Blockade is still in place, although Britain is willing to lift the blockade completely for up to 100 gold per turn (25 gold from each nation wishing to use the Suez canal and straits of Gibraltar).

We also wish to thank Germany for her support in this time of trouble. We would also encourage other nations to take a neutral stance to this minor conflict, for you all must understand the need for Britain to protect it's sea routes. In particular we wish to thank America and Japan, for allowing us to trade with their rich and wealthy cities. Iron Ores and Textiles entering American and Japanese ports enrich our great empire.

hi everyone. I'm going to take my turn later tonight. I'm investigating something brought up by DrFell.

thanks..
Civfan.....

Hi again. Well I hate to inform everyone but I'm resigning my play as russia. It seems a member has been cheating in this game and whats sad about this is its only the 2nd turn. Its very easy shown in the game. Thanks DrFell for pointing it out to me. If I'm in any other scenarios with this individual then I'll be leaving those too. I'm new to pbem games but an old avid player.

anyways whoever wants to play russia heres the file without the password. Also for anyone in this game who wants to know whos cheating just check the files from jan1870 to feb1870.

to do this, just open a saved game, change the extention to .net and click on the scenario saved. login to your civ and then click on editor and click on editor >
toggle scenario flag. change to the civ. its very obvious. Movements!!!!!!!!!!!


Anyways just ask Drfell.


Thanks again.....ohwell

Cheating????
Mmm... you should inform that to the Moderators. Warvoid, in this case.

[Pavlov]

I have checked the files of the PBEM and I'm afraid that DrFell and CivFan are correct.

To the person who cheated: you know who you are. If you still have some dignity you'll come clean and admit.

I would like to continue with this PBEM because I like playing this scenario. But NOT with a cheater!

[Pavlov]

Oh, Academia, I'm afraid that Warvoid has no official powers in these cases.

Btw, any neutral person is free to check through the files and look for suspicious stuff.

[academia]

Oh, Academia, I'm afraid that Warvoid has no official powers in these cases.

But there has to be someone. I mean, if somebody cheats, he should be punished.
Who is in charge of Apolyton Site?
Personally, i´m not familiarized with this kind of things. I don´t know the correct procedure (solve it between the guys who are playing the PBEM, or call an authority of Apolyton)
Anyway, you did something wrong, you have to pay it.
At least confess it. Please

[Pavlov]

MarkG and DanQ are in charge. But there is nothing in the forum agreement that says that you can not cheat in PBEM's.

I think this has usually been solved in this way:

1. Cheater discovered and outed.

2a. Cheater admits cheating and promises it'll never happen again. Everyone is less confident in him/her but otherwise business continues as usual. But the cheater can look forward to a long time of suspicion and little trust. I spose it could happen.

2b. Cheater leaves forum and is never seen again. Most likely.

[Civfan]

The fact that this is not the first case of someone cheating brings to the attention of why play pbem games. Its easy to cheat, just changes the rules for the game scenario when you play! Maybe a multiplayer is the only way to play. There is a game i think its the zwk game that prevents you from cheating. But who knows.
