Buggy, buggy day. Earlier I couldn't get the scnario editor to work, now I can't login in to planetsid!
Anyway, planning a new multiplayer scnario for 4 players. I'll take the University. Other factions are Hive, PK, Believers. All players have roughly similar tech/citys except for UoP who are ahead in both.
If anyone tells me how to make a jpg of the map I'll send it on. The basic premise of the game is to see if they other factions unite against the UoP or try to gain some easy land off each other.

I would be interested in a play by-email game. I haven't done this before so you will have to tell me how it works.
Thanks
Daniel Cole
I would be interested in being the PK (by the way)

I'll be the Hive if I can.
Darksider posted 07-13-99 06:36 PM ET
Just the Believers left to fill. I'll wait two days for another player before assigning them to the AI. So I'll start the game on Thursday night. My address is [email protected]
Blitzkrieger? You forgot to give your mail address.

ok don't send stuff to the email address on my last post that is my work addresses and I won't be playing SMAC there (though I wish I could) send stuff to [email protected] that is my college addresses which I can still get to now. I will be able to get to my turns around 7:00 to 8:00 at night. Should be able to do about 2 or three a day if it gets back to me fast enough. (should probably take the last turn since I run so late.

I would be interested in taking the Believer slot. I also have not played by email before, so you would have to give me some instructions.
Darksider posted 07-14-99 06:35 PM ET
The game is now full.
Dman37 posted 07-15-99 08:17 PM ET
ok guys sorry about the e-mail change again. Realized I couldn't deal with attached files with the other addresses. Still haven't recieved the first savegame. Oh are we posting story stuff here as the game develops? Would be pretty cool
The email will not change again I promise.

I hate to do this but capt_hampton is having trouble with his mail too. I'm giving him two more days (until wednesday) then looking for a new player.

Well I got to do my first turn at 10:00 at night and I have to say it was not what I was expecting. I had an amazing number of cities and units and I could see the entire map. Was quite a shock at 10:00 at night. oh well know now to leave about 3 hours to play a turn . Also wnated to know if we were adopting a set of rules for this game or if it was anything goes? For example could I open up the old saved game (one I have already played) for the purposes of planning my next turn during the off time while I am waiting to get the chance to play it? Thanks!

ok guys let's get some in character posts going on here...kinda like the human asscension had going on. Here is my first one.
Brother Cole sat in his office growing grimer by the minute as he studied the most recent intelligence reports. Taking over after Lal's death he had pledged to continue the policies of his predecessor, he was now beging to think that was no longer possible. The University had grown much stronger than he had thought possible. The conquests of the gaians and the morgans were impressive but not surprising since they usually laged behind in millitary tech. It was the conquest of the spartans though that had him worried. They were the equal of the university in tech and should have been able to halt his advance, but they had fallen in a months time.
Sighing Brother cole knew what he had to do. Knowing it though didn't make it any easier. Sighing he reached for his comm link...

Blitzkrieger opened his eyes and smiled. The hive mind had told him that his diplomatic efforts were going well, and the constuction of new facilities was on schedule.
Now he mentally switched off the hive voice, something the fools he led would never know: while he led the hive, he was not a part of it.

"Provost Darksider, the message to the Peacekeepers has been sent and a unit detached to track them."
"Excellent", replied Darksider. "Those fools think this cease-fire gives them saftey, but I will use the slightest deviation from the terms to anniahlate them. Ready the troops. I want to be ready to stike at a moments notice."
