Somebody needs to wake up rogerub and have him send Octavian X his password.

Also, we should all be on the same page with version numbers. I think E_T said he is playing unpatched. The program may seem to run fine, but I think it will be using different formulas to calculate corruption, among other things. In this case, I think this might only hurt E_T. Still, it doesn't seem good practice to have players using different rules in the same game.

For the same reason, everyone should keep a version of 1.12 available to play turns with, until we all agree to upgrade (probably with the official patch next month).

Well I feel we should only be using the official patches.

And I believe that it was agreed quite early on that we would use the 1.12 Beta patch....

w have a lot of patches here now

[predesad]

also thought it was agreed to use 1.12, which most people i find are using anyway.

think after that we should wait for official patch, even if it is a month & 1/2 away.

[Harovan]

Yes we should wait for an official non-beta patch. I'm fed up with beta testing and won't play a turnament under these conditions.

[Adagio]

We could have each game, choses which patch to use...

I haven't tried the beta patch yet, so I don't know if it works, but I'll try it out today (I hope)

[CerberusIV]

I'm using the 1.12 Beta and it seems OK but I don't want to use another beta patch after that one, I'd rather wait for the full patch to come out.

Crap, I did mess those time zones up. When your studying for a math final while staring at those time zone numbers, your initial instinct is to put them in the correct numerical order, rather than the time zone.
Still, that's no excuse for the mistake I made, and I offer my most humble apoligies.

I've no object to GhengisFarb taking Sir Ralph's place, if they both agree to it. Sir Ralph, I encourage you to take GF's spot in Game 2 (CORRECTLY arranged according to timezone).

Tarquinius and rogerurb will have one more day to send in a password, due mainly to the fact I'm unable to properly create a map at this moment. Otherwise, they will be replaced.

OctX, is it possible for you to fix the order of play for our game, or is it just to late to do that now?? Only myself and BF have played and We are having Issues with me getting e-mail to SirRalph.

Are you saying you can't send email to SirRalph? What's the problem exactly?

AFAIK, the newer patches are mostly fine tuning corruption formulas, but 1.12 was a clear improvement over 1.00 and has been stable so far. Are you finding problems with the 1.12 patch, Sir Ralph? Does corruption impact your strategy over the first 60 or so turns?

If not, we can get a big jump on the official patch by starting now, provided everyone uses 1.12.

[Harovan]

The emails should get through now. The game is doomed to be one of my slowest, though.

I don't use neither 1.0, nor 1.12, nor 1.13, nor 1.15 for epic games, and won't in the near future. I put the game on the shelf. I will play it again after it's out of the beta phase. For the tournament I'm playing 1.12, as was agreed to.

Game 5:
Beta
SAMUEL2904
Conqueror (GMT +2) conqueror AT mbnet DOT fi)
Master Zen

Still missing timezones and emails from 3 of the players though... oh, and send the wanted Password to Octavian X

Just PM'ed Game 5 players about these things, anxious to get the Game 5 going too

[Adagio]

Good... I was about to PM then as I posted it... but somehow I forgot

[Octavian X]

Patch: I only started using 1.12 after it was apparent that it didn't have any bugs. Now, since I'm not really liking the changes they made to corruption calculations in 1.15, I'm waiting for the next patch. As I understand, there isn't any conflict with players using 1.12 and 1.00.

Timezone issue: So long as this thing is stalled, how far has game 4 gotten? Would there be any objections to just stopping the game and starting over again? I wouldn't mind creating a new map.

Status report:
Game 1 will probably start tomorrow, since that's when my semester finals end . Tarquinius is dropped, and Conqueror, the only other player to have sent me a password, will be his replacement.

Game 2 will start when I get another password sent to me. The next person who sends me a password will be considered rogerub's replacement.

Game 4, if it's participants have no objection, will be restarted.

Game 5 will be organized once I get yet some more passwords.
