Construction Question

[Locutus]

Actually, I had noticed it but already figured Steve had just forgotten his password and was willing to just act as if my nose was bleeding as long as noone else noticed it. But I guess that's not possible anymore (thanks a lot, SD )...

So, Steve/Aaragorn, as Maq explained, you're only allowed to have one login per person on this site. Don't worry, it's not a big deal as you obviously didn't do it intentionally or abused your second account (DL) in any way. But I will have to contact the owners about this and they'll probably want to have one of those accounts deleted/disabled. Which one would you like to keep?

Steve/Aaragorn

What was the solution in your other thread? Was it a missing file, or did you not have Cradle 1.3 on your setup?

Just curious...trying to make sure that my files are working correctly.

(I guess this means that Cradle 1.35 is up at my site)

[Aaragorn]

Hex, Can you tell I'm new to all this??

I'd not read the instructions properly and had only downloaded 1.5, I've now downloaded 1.3 as well and everything is currently running well.............

I've even managed to get the production pop up boxes working now so I'm feeling quite proud of myself!

Looking forward to a good weekends gaming, can't believe I bothered for so look to try to fall in love with civ3 when so much hard work has been done by you guys to make CTP2 so much better........ ;-)

You might want to keep the Steven Bunn account (with posts and login date) and change the account name to Aaragorn once Aaragorn is deleted.

SD,
Too late, Steven Bunn is perma-banned now. (Of course, it could be changed if necessary (if Markos is willing) but he only had like 7 posts or something...)

At least I have a life next to the time I spend here on the forums, unlike some people :-P ;-)

No problem, I clarified the website info so that this won't happen again.

You did unzip 1.3 first and then unzip 1.35 over the existing files, didn't you???? Otherwise you will be playing 1.3.

Just checking.

Hope you enjoy the mod.

Wow just 7 posts for a Cheftain, so I just wonder how many post I need in that case to be a diety.

If my calculation is correct then it would be just 2334 posts.
Well we should keep it at 10001, inflation is not good.

What? No DL? Well I was Engineer before, but forgot my password and I think it was my old email. Could I get Engineer back? I like that more then Engineer_J

[Pedrunn]

I am a king now so i am quite old around here but i am also a TL.
I have one that was my first but forgot my password i believe i never posted with it and the other one was from the time i was a civ3er enthusiastic. I never used those logins after i created this last one. Although i have clearly annouce my other logins before i never wanted to loose those posts with them
I think you was to hard on Steven Bunn's specially because he had already posted 7 times. This mean we are never going to see these polls again. Thats said.

By The Way,

Welcome to the CTP2 community and to Apolyton, Aaragorn
I hope you enjoy here

so who has (is) HuangDi, i want that name (since we're kinda on the subject

Martin,
Steven Bunn had something like 50 posts, but when I checked his history, I only found 7 or so. The other ones were probably made a long time ago in OT or some other part of the site of which the records have been lost. So although his postcount has effectively been reset, he's only loosing 7 posts from his history. He's loosing 50 posts from his PC over this, while I know someone who lost more than 4000 posts over less... (Heck, I lost more than 60 posts due to a software upgrade once)

Engineer,
First, if you still have access to your old email address, you can get your old password mailed to you.

Failing that, if you contact MarkG or DanQ about this issue (my advice: try DanQ first) and provide them with the necessary details, they may be able to help you with that.

Pedrunn,
I'm just doing my job here: enforce the rules set by this site's owners - even if I don't always agree with them. Aaragorn was (unknowningly) breaking the rules, so action had to be taken. I always try to be as lenient as possible in these forums, but I have to draw a line somewhere. If only to prevent my goodwill from being abused or to prevent the owners from regarding me incompetent/negligent and 'firing' me (which *has* happened to others in the (not too distant) past)...

Your situation is slightly different: you had an old account ages ago (when the DL detection tools where a lot less advanced and these forums didn't have a dedicated mod yet) and only used it a few times (if ever). Then you created a completely new account and have never used the old one again. Had your DL been detected early on, it would have been restricted, but like I said, the available tools were less advanced in those days. Would you start using the old account again today without warning a mod about this in advance, it would most likely be detected pretty soon and one of your accounts (you wouldn't get to choose which one, like Aaragorn) would be deleted/permanently disabled, the other one sent on a vacation.

Aaragorn OTOH was using 2 accounts at the same time and he was doing it today, now the DL detection tools are much more efficient. The chance of his DL eventually being detected by MarkG, Ming or MtG is pretty big, and they wouldn't hesitate to ban both accounts (one permanently, the other temporarily). So I'm not only enforcing the rules, I'm also preventing Aaragorn for getting punished for something without knowing that he did anything wrong...
