a name for the game: what do you think of "Randomness is Good"?

[SebP]

akulla: i meant it makes it difficult to decide the vote on randomness since then its something like 2.2 vs 1.8 for randomness ... in any case, good that it has been decided

about stockpile energy: bintravkins arguments in this seem right. the early posts in the thread deliver arguments about NOT allowing stockpile after units favoring builders and those would have been my gut feeling and i nearly posted to quick that this thread only affirmed stockpile should be in. good thing i read all of it. you are right, it really might be a problem. i must admit i am a sucker for crawlers and drones +2 industry.(can't say if crawler madness even works in mp though, not enough experience) whatever, i'm not playing drones now and wasnt planning on a extreme builder game.

well. i will abide by any decision allow (which will obviously mean enforce), prevent or even just plain disallow (= allow automatic stockpile after building facilities)
considering this again, the last option might even be the best since it will still speed the game, and most typical builder strategies (mine at least) are helped even more with allowing it then with the "automatic allowed" option, so the imbalance is smaller with that one
maybe the terms "builder" and "momentum" break down here... it probably also helps a yang who uses crawlers extensively together with mild ics, then produces cheap units. i don't consider that a builder strategy at all

this is really hard. which is why i will just leave it up to you guys. ultimately i'll just have to adapt... luckily i chose the pk

E-mailed to Flubber. Attached here too, just in case.

Is there a way to change the default path in win XP when I go to upload things? It's usually SMAX saves, so it's be nice if it defaulted to that.

[bluetemplar]

in another game we started around 20:00 and at 2:00 we are at turn 13!

[SebP]

i take it that you'd rather get your turns in the mail as well, humphrey

[bluetemplar]

It sets the save games folder the default for me after the first upload...

PS: flubber not on-line so maybe we will stop here for today...
