Sorry, too busy to keep track of PBEM problems. This is getting a trying time in RL, and I'm sometimes unexpectedly unavailable. You better have someone else who is more reliable (Googlie or Darsnan comes to mind).

Oh, by the way, I never did get those 3 files, how big are the attachments? maybe my inbox was too full, if not i'll give you an alternate email address

In the meantime i'll wait for a gm

Well, I hope we all have the same Game engine, but I am actually playing the Linux version... I guess it is the same engine and I never found anything in the net saying something different, but you never know....
And I don't mind playing with or without a GameMaster... of course, if someone drops out this is a good idea, but I got no problem with the "peek my start positon" trick/cheat (if you feel like you have to use it to win.... but where's the fun in doing so ???). Yeah, it is a advantage, but I don't believe that this will be THE advantage to win the game (at least I don't hope so).

[Colonyan]

I agree with you humpel

Is here still place for annother player?

I am running Linux as well, and i'dlike to be part of any smac/smax game.

[Colonyan]

Welcom.
Chinken Please choose your faction.
It will be smax game.

I think I will do the game master. Well I know that this is the job of very known people. But since I have no map editing and starting position editing, I think I can do this. This is ofcourse with your acknowledgement.

So I think I will have to

1. Keep the e-mail address of all of the player
2. Create the game files.
3. Create the pass words for each player.
4. Conserve all the above information.
5. Keep on contact.

What do you people say????

[Bkeela]

Doesn't worry me.

[Chickenbrain]

Leaders name: ChickenBrain
Faction: Pirates, if they are free.

Ok Colonyan...shouldnt be a problem.

[binTravkin]

Colonyan, remember to test difficulty levels by giving at least one unit and at least one SE choice enabling tech and then playing the turn "0" and trying to switch SE.

If you have problems ensuring equal difficulty contact me, I can explain how to do it - I've had quite a trouble (and thus expierence) with it lately.

[Colonyan]

Very recently, I'm having problem with computer. It takes several turn off and .... ok its not the place where I speak about this issue. Dont worry. It seems that It boots and work and connect to net with no problem. PC shows blue error screen when I game(rise of nation) and use Internet browser extensively.
After all I'm not playing with this machine. I love old win 98 machine.yay

I think I will try to send the first turn on this weekend.

BT, can your explain that a little bit precisely?
Should I use scenario editor inorder to give SE giving tech and a unit(cant do this with scout)?

[Colonyan]

sorry for keeping you waiting.
I will try to send the file in next few days.
Just keep remaindered please.

[binTravkin]

Yes, you need to give each fac at least one unit and a tech which enables SE. Hive has D:Loy already (Police State). You can give Industrial Economics/Planetary Networksto others.
When it's done, save scenario and go play it (throught "Multiplayer Scenario" option).
You must test only human players - open each turn, open "E" screen and try switching. The cost should be 40 ECs for everyone.

Also, note that you must set the global difficulty level and set "force current diff level" at "scenario rules" at scenario editor.
