139 started 04 rickety vs Checkmate
143 started 05 rickety vs Dimytes
144 started 05 is cancelled both players inactive

rickety ????

please let me know where these stand

[ricketyclik]

The games vs checkMate and Dimytes are both defunct, as I haven't heard from either of them for ages.

The game vs Pave gets a couple of turns every couple of months, when I resend a turn to him, but he seems to show little interest in it, probably because I am thrashing him

The game vs Hatschy is going well.

and why are they all different mods.
i think it's just to throw off the people who have never played with them. yes, playing with no mods may make the game longer, but then everyone would know how to play, and it would be equal.

As for Keygen PBEM-mod Lite, most of us want to use that, because it "removes" the first dull 20-30-40 turns of a game. The turns where you only open-look-save-send and nearly nothing else. I am normally ready to give a new player one or two "free" game(s), where he/she can restart turn 0 as many times as needed - even to look into my savegame files - as a new player needs to get familiar with that mod to use its advances.

Hatschy have made one, where all AIs are killed at turn 0. Suitable when you only want to play "head-to-head" with another human without annoying disturbance from an AI. This can be combined with Keygens mod (I have tried it and it normally works as long as the humans have starting position 1 and 2).

Math's mod gives more information about the game.

Guess these 3 are the most common to be used.

I implemented such a feature in PBEM Mod Lite in my PCL game with Milamber after he asked me not to include AI at all. Probable the same code as Hatschy's but I would be interested to see his code.

Where can I find this too Max?

I had implemented some info features in the PBEM Mod, the full version, not the lite one.

I confirm that. checkMate disappeared 1-2 years ago and Dimytes 4-5 months ago.

I kinda like having those first 30 turns in there. It helps me focus on what im supposed to do. It sets up the whole game for me. The mods just throw u right into the action. Its quite a difference to what im used to. And that ricketyclik game hasn't started yet. I dont think he has responded yet. I sent him a message of confirmation and whatever to see what he wanted to play and he hasn't responded.

[Addled Platypus]

forgot a game to ask about

#163 quinns ??

fair to say cancelled with the disapearnce of EPW

OK, so just with the Mathemagician mod? That one just gives extra information messages.

big update to post #2

look at the lower ladder results (ladder2)

I went through to correct movement from game 100 and on and remove inactive players as found out

I would like some additional input before this is offical

Then Steve Quinns is the perfect opponent for you!

[ricketyclik]

Prince, have you received that turn yet?
