Players are gonna create their teams? Kind of defeets the purpose for having a league drawn from the Metaverse Empires, if each Empire is gonna form their own team? I was not aware of any discussion or posts that stated the teams had to be drawn from empires. I think this would be counter productive as it would exclude non empire affiliated players from joining the league. A team may be made up from players from 4 different empires, or 4 players may choo

Hi all. It seems the longer we leave this the harder and more complicated it will get. Firstly i am happy to run this on my own, if that is Ghostwes's decision. It seems to me that some direct action needs to be taken, so, i will take the plunge and outline the following set of rules. These are as streamlined as i could make them keeping fairness in mind. Feel free to comment, i may have forgotten something, but apart from a collective outcry from you guys i feel these will be what we

Don't we just love long post's I'm just checking in, i have been working a lot the last two days. I'll be back in a few hours with a coherrant response. <img src="http://

No your stats will update automatically, as long as you use that link you will be fine. Unfortunately i am not going to be very much help in the serial department. I wouldn't even want to try advising on that cause i would not want to do anything that would wreck your account. Try emailing support [email protected] they have been very helpful in the past. Apost in the forums outlining your trouble would also get kryo's attention, he may be able to help given all the details

Are we gonna have any other places for info? I need to re-read stuff, but if there is a place to get more info or schedules, a forum or anything, lemme know, ok? Once we get "official" with this i will start a new thread (or Ghost) which will outline in the first post rules, scoring etc..etc.. If we wanted more, we could possible do some kind of thread at the core? Be it for everyone or just league players. Mumble would be the man to answer

With the game stats it can take a while after a game for it show. As for the empire stats, there are actually pasted in every time one of us posts. You need to copy your preferred banner from your character profile on the AltMeta and along with the hosted link of the Tyranny banner just paste them in at the end of the text. I'll show you an example of yours and give you the link to my Tyranny banner, <a href="http://altmeta.kryofx.com/c

The honor system is perfectly fine for now. This is all just friendly fun If someone feels the need to play outside the set rules, and to quote the old cliche, they are only cheating themselves. I think everyone here is here for the fun and is not going to care enough to bother tring for an advantage. That being said, as Mumble mentioned, the endgame.xml will help us regulate such things in the future, but even then i doubt we would come across

Hi Darth_Silouette, an invite is on it's way. to potmonster, glad you could join our reign of destruction, the evil pizza is on the table, and the blood wine is plentyful!! In local news, I got the promotion. I'm sitting in my shiny new office now. It's about 3 or 4 time

Hi, I believe I understand what you are after, something like a function that would pop up at the start of your turn and show any new AI ships that are now visable? That's a crude interpretation but i think that's what you mean. Unfortunately i know of no such function that would allow you to do that. The only thing i could think of that would work is, when using Eyes of the Universe (buildable after researching Sensors IV) it shows each ship individually that is. So what might help you

I am never drinking again.(I think I've said that before) Yup. Been there, said that (hands over two asprin)

5C at night, Man would that be nice in the winter. Try -30C Well i wouldn't do that well in Canada then. I'd say on the flip side i'd be cold in your summer's? I'd certainly like to get to Canada one day since the suburb i live in is called Toronto...though it is only a small suburb of a small city, nothing like yours.

Hi guys, i just want to go off topic a bit and put a shameless plug in for the "Metaverse League". It is in it's final development stages and should be ready to go quite soon. The concept is having teams of 4 players in each team playing games in a structured enviroment. There will be monthly rounds with set objectives, such as win a conquest victory on a medium map or an alliance victory on a small map. Settings such as anomolies, clusters, tech rate, minors/majors amount of AI etc..etc.. will

I assume that the commissioner has been keeping track of those that have already expressed interest. I doubt that we're at a reasonable minimum of 16 (or even 12) quite yet. Yes i have a list that has 12 names currently, i will leave a reply in the current tournament thread to try and get some interest, as it seems the people playing there may enjoy this as well. Perhaps a quick post in everyone's individual empire threads too. Anything to let t

I’m going by Neilo’s proposal in reply #25 as the basis for discussion. The first point is about these “12 different challenges”. What are these 12 different challenges and why should each team have different objectives? It seems you’re proposing that each team be assigned a different theme but the theme is constant for each team. I assumed that all teams would get the same assignment but that the assignment would have variation in the games and would also vary from we

@ the pic. An official evil welcome to ParticleWave, Our temps in winter where i live get down to about 5C (41F) at night and anywhere from 14 to 19 in the day. In summer though, it is not uncommon for it to be 31C (87.8F) at midnight, let alone throught the day. I do remember a day last summer,

I opened relations with my nearest neighbor by sporing their homeworld on the turn after their first freighter reached me. Muahahahaha! As any disrespectable neighbor would do "here ya go, a selection of our finest wines and art works" "well thankyou, please take this thermonuclear device in our appreciation!!" Anyway here is my Dreng

Well done. I have not managed an MV win on suicidal so my hat is off to you.... As for the tech victory, at that level id be just as happy as you to get a win, no matter the type.

I need to type quicker Aye, and am happy to be a commissioner, but i don't think it has been said whether the commissioner's can participate in the league or not. I'd assume so and base my acceptance on that assumption. If everyone like my above details we can get moving on this quickly, if not let's get the finer points sorted out asap....

We absolutely have to make the league DL and DA, i see no arguement here. As to the scoring issues, perhaps we need to decide right of the bat two things, Will we A) Be using new empires to act as the team. and B) Are we implementing this straight into the AltMeta now. Point B will light the way for us in determining how to score the league. Be it actual scores or some form of win/loss as described earlier. A possible scoring system, All teams ar

Not to trivialize any og the great suggestions made in other areas, but I might point out that many leagues already have a base of players to organize when they begin, is it not so? While the idea of gaining valuable experience appeals to many players on the informal level, they still have to be there to start with. Good point. We really need to see if there is interest enough, and it would seem that based on what we talked about, 50 to 60 players, we ar

@Particlewave, there is no requirement to submit games. Yes we would all love it if every one did, but just being here in this thread and having fun..cough cough..i mean evil fun is enough. We would love to have you on board.... 40C today? I didn't know what that meant until I put it into a converter. 104F! Your profile doesn't mention a location. Are you in Australia? I am, and i wish we could have some 40C weather now, it's damn freez

Did you wrap the url with these? (IMG)swap the () for [] (/IMG) That should fix it up for you...

You can't play Metaverse with the Mods folder enabled, even if the Mod folder is actually empty. Certainly, but i have added small mods before straight into the game files, not the mod folder, and by not being changes to the game XML's they were fine. I'm hoping this will be the same. I'll give it a go and let you guys know what happens <img src

No worries! Didn't see your other post. Enjoy the Game!!
