CTP Internet Ratings (22-JUL-2001)

[faded glory]

Our game crashed and our saved file was corrupt . 6 hours wasted .....





Anyway we are meeting back up at 6:00 to start a new game. It should be alot of fun

[J Bytheway]

Though I'm not actually part of these games (I'd be in trouble if I tried to start, since I've never finished a game on single player on any difficulty - it being so much more fun to fiddle with the rules files) but I have a couple of things which you might like to know.

In const.txt there are two numbers wgich you might be interested in: RUINS_CHANCE_PER_BOX, if set to 0 will remove ruins and make the game much fairer and MIN_CONTINENT_START_SIZE, which is normally 10 (hence those 10-square islands) could be increased to stave off concerns of tiddly little islands for start locations. I'm not exactly sure what it does, but I'm guessing it has to do with the choice of start locations.

Presumably these changes would have to be made only on the computer which was generating the map initially.

John - thank you very much for that we will give it a try.. You should try an Island Game against AI they are amazing....

I only started playing online in April, and there are many people who will take you through how to play to have a good shot at winning... You should come along and try a game...... a very enjoyable social occassion...

Saddam, good job we screwed game file, you are doing a lot better in this game than the other one... It was difficult being isolated on a far island with me and Darth warring - After this game we play an Island game yeh ...

[faded glory]

hey I actually started are own thread, I thought we agreed not to spam this one up

[Fuzzball]

I'll have some time on my hands soon to play a few ctp web games. Maybe you could add me to your rated list of players Quinns? I've beaten the ai on deity so many times I tried to reprogram the stupid thing to make it harder. So you could start me off on the max difficulty level in regards to the ratings. Although I've not played ctp much for ages apart from the odd pbem turn every blue moon, so I might be a little rusty. Anyways, if anyone's interested in a gorey, no-holds-barred, free for all sometime, I'll be around I guess.

[quinns]

That's great, Fuzzball! I will add you to the internet ratings next time I update the list. And you are from ... New Zealand?? Is that right? Or was it "Inyourbellybutton"?

[Fuzzball]

New Zealand??? lol....where the men are men and the sheep are scared....
Ummmm, nope, not from there. I'm from Australia, where the ladies are tasty and the unemployed have migrated from New Zealand.

[quinns]

Sorry Fuzzball, no offense intended. I should have checked your PBEM Ratings listing for your country. It said AUS, not NZL. (..."where the sheep are scared...", that was a good one I'm sure you will get some grief from Paulno1 the Great New Zealander!

[Azrael]

Hey! I want to protest too! Who says Aussie women are better than us? LOL

[Fuzzball]

I didn't mean to imply that at all Erica. Indeed, all beautiful women are equal in my eyes doh!! I meant all women are equal in my eyes...doooh!! I meant all women are beautiful in my eyes....ummm or was it all eyes are equal in beautiful women?

[Erica]

Hey Fuzzy - that was too confusing for my drink-fuzzed brain...
Just agree that all NZ (and OZ if you MUST) women are beautiful, that'll do me.

[Fuzzball]

Ok, I'll agree with that Erica. But with the usual exceptions ofcourse, like politicians with their plastic morality, and the fake beauties with plastic body parts. ewwwwwwww

[Paulno1]

Haha Erica you are dreaming, all NZ women are not beautiful god dammit, but what is the definition of beautiful? A place where all women are beautiful that will be the day. I do beleive that place exists. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, So if you are very very very drunk then all women are beautiful, isnt that right lol. Now australia is a very big country but you cant walk a hundred metres down the road with out banging into a pub, no wonder he has the belief that all women are beautiful there. Everyone is drunk, just talk to an aussie and you will understand what i mean.
Yes A LOT of New Zealanders go too Aussie too live, we apparently love sheep alot so it is perfectly logical for us too go too aussie there are millions more there. So logically if you got ride of all the sheep then all the NZers would vanish, but we all know aussies love sheep too much for that

I have too disagree that all NZ's that go there are on the dole. There is alot on the dole there yes, but the unemployment rate of NZers in Aus is lower than that of australians in Aus, so whats the problem. Plus NZ currently pays 130 million a year for people on the dole there, i dont know quite how that works but that seems like a **** load of money. Now NZers going too Aus dont get the dole anymore dammit lol, because our government wouldnt pay any more money for the benefits over there. Hmmm we should get compensated for all our educated people that go over there too work and it is a lot (-:.
(Australians arnt that smart on a whole lol) Too much beer. They are very good at sport though :-P.
My Old man goes over there weekly too work, because there is no aussie smart enough too do the job lololol, (if there was, why would he have too fly there for 3 hours ).

Hmmm what was my point i forgot dammit

Ahhhhh the land where all women are beautifull that would be great, That would be a land with no Bon Bon's and chocolate and ice cream of any kind (-: and with lots and lots of beer (

[Paulno1]
