The problem I have is that two of my bases don't reach the 2 nutrient surplus any sane player seeks. What was I thinking?

.

That is pretty tough-- As soon as I found a tile next to a rainy tile, my bases got planted--

Sure. Like the bottom of the deep green sea.

Drow - it's asking for Morgan's password. Please send the correct turn.

Drow does that a lot doesn't he??

[Flubber]

I want to say though that this game is moving very well. I had games that moved at a glacial pace and now I am in two game that move REALLY fast . This one is actually the slower of the two-- ( I get 1 or two turns every day )

Trotsky's turn:

And we have 5 players, too

I find it impressive for a game that's 7 years old to still be able to pull newbies with an interest high enough for games as fast as this one and also fast veterans like, uh i don't know, yourself and h0bbes (i'm not sure how long you are playing)

Yup-- Its just a matter of lucking into player's that are having a burst of enthusiasm.

My pace may slow shortly since we have a baby due in about 3 weeks but at worst I should always get the turns out vefore I fall into bed at night

[SebP]

Well, congrats!
I hope it will let you get some sleep after you fall into bed

Also, sorry for changing my post while you were replying to it. I do that a lot

Both of us a looooong time-- Do a search for me under my old name of "cbn" and you will find posts about things like my first OCC challenge victory or my first basic questions

I do think by now the description " veteran " applies but I would rather be known as "good " or "strong"


Hobbes is a long time vet as well-- I'd bet I have played a dozen to 15 games that involved hobbes and I think that one of my first ever PBEM victories was with him as a co-op partner--WE have also butted heads so you are not upm against an alliance of any type-- Hobbes is always a fast reliable player

Mid and drow are pretty new here as far as I can tell but their gameing pace has been great so I am quite happy with the group

[Mid]

Yeah, I'm new to Apolyton and PBEM-ing.

A question - I'm going to be away from my computer for a week or so in late September. What happens in PBEMs when that happens? Would it be time for me to hand over to someone else?

Sorry to be a pain.

A week or so-- typically the game sits for the week and everyone accepts this as a normal part of this type of game.

Sometimes when a game is only slightly advanced, a person may ask a friend to play the game in his place. This game at 2123 probably fits in that mold where you could give reasonable instructions to cover most eventualities over the next 3-4 turns.

In this particular case, I say let it sit. I have a baby due on September 14 so I am going to disappear for at least two days at one point. And after that, even though I should be able to play these turns every night ( they are still short after all), I would actually not mind a slow down or a break for a week


Oh and the solution if you are away from YOUR computer -- portable hard drive-- Install the game and take your disc and you can play on any computer that you can sit at for an hour

Congratulations Flubber! Now, tell... when are you planning to introduce CIV II / SMAC to the newborn?


Regarding to the current game:
That's it - I'm an idiot. Remember all my whining about not having rainy tiles to make two of my bases grow? Well, it turns out that both bases have sea funguns within their radii, and I kept working on moist flat tiles. Allright, I'm stupid, but the AI priorities don't help at all - one nutrient over two nutrients?

NEVER!!!!!

I could try to sound all noble about not addicting my children to video games but the fact is that I don't want to share ,

AI priorities are often awful. Thats why I always check my bases when I plant them. The overall selection by the AI is even worse if you have overlapping base radii
