ACDG5: Demogame, anyone (especially newbies)?

[vyeh]

Maniac, Was it much trouble naming individual units?

One of the problems with going through the Spartan archives is seeing your ACDG3 team insulted.

Note to self: Things said in 'private' will eventually be public, so behave accordingly.

timsup2nothin,

I appreciate the last post and the interest you're showing.

I'm hoping someone else wants to be turn player or faction leader, so I can split those two positions between yourself and someone else for the first turn.

Whether or not you're the initial tun player, you're the initial faction leader.

I'd like you to put yourself in the position of a junior Unity officer, who has been put in (temporary) charge of Unity Command's council with the clear instruction that he is only chairman of a council of equals (and not even first among equals). He, his fellow council members, three colony pods, three scout units, three unity supply droids and three unity former droids are landing on Planet in a week.

I've started a new thread. I'd like you to get the ball rolling.

perhaps I might be of assistance in the logistics.

Do you and timsup2nothin mean that you are volunteering to be the initial turnplayer? (With only 12 units and choosing one tech, it should be straightforward.)

[timsup2nothin]

I hope that's what he meant because it's definitely what I meant...

[Bodissey]

I'm ready to step aside should someone more competent arise.

Brand new game on a brand new day...first come first served as far as I'm concerned, and after turn one I will look to you as the only experienced expert in the field. I know lots of these guys have done a lot of things in a lot of games, but only you will have done THIS thing in THIS game.

I agree. Bodissey. You are the initial turnplayer. In preparation, I'd like you to do the following.

(1) Create a new SMAC SP game with six AI's (and playing the PK's). Label the game. Make the size standard, with average parameters and transcend. Use the following rules

(2) As soon as the game is generated, save it as "practice, 2100.sav."

(3) Zip it.

(4) Post the zip file in this thread as "practice, 2100.zip."

Please feel free to ask for advice if you run into any problems.

Everybody,

If you haven't already done so, please introduce your character on this thread.

Due to relative inexperience in democratic colonization am willing to serve in chiefly advisory role. Am more than willing to take on greater role if needed.

I'd like you to focus on the tech aspect. Is that OK?

[Kataphraktoi]

You call that an insult? That was barely a tip of the iceberg to describe our team. Ive said much worse about us DAs. The guy they are talking about went on to be proven as a cheater in other MP games.

It was the matter of fact way that it was stated: "of course the Angels had to be so stupid."

The "of course" hurt!
