[quote]Many thanks to you Kzinti. And to be sure, we did enjoy the evil pillage and the destruction we caused the Overmind. I am still picking their bones out of my teeth...where is my cleaning fembot... Is there still an issue with logging on to the TOE forum DA? It is up for me. [/quote] A Tyrant asked, "Where did the Kzinti come from?" "We are the predator that stalks the shadows, the beast that tears your throat out before you know it's there. We remain silent unt

ST: Birth of the Federation, another 4x space game, had stable wormholes. The AI didnt use it very effectively most of the time, but once in a while they would surprise you and a massive Klingon fleet could show up on your doorstep! <F

I think this is an interesting idea, and I also like the idea of it only being for good-aligned civs. As long as it wouldnt lead to a significant increase in micormanagement, I like it. I think adding the requisite effects to already existing techs might be the best way, or just adding one new tech. Good does need a boost. <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_1 alt="Sentient species taste better..." src="http://www.mypicshare.co

I like the origin you came up with for the Snathi, and I'm interested to see if they spread across the rest of the galaxy like an evil furry plague. Sentient species taste better... <

Definitely a very direct reference to that classic game. SC2 was one of the best games ever. Even just playing the "melee" part and going head to head with all the different ship types was a ton of fun too.

[quote] Iconian AI, do they ever amount to anything? Well they can, in the same way that 1000 monkeys with typewriters with an infinite amount of time would eventually randomly produce Shakespeare. - Wyndstar [/quote] Hehe! Hey Gallagher, last thing I read from you on the forums was that you were quitting the game because of the whole "habitable planets reduction" fiasco. Good to see you did

[quote]If everyone is happy with this, then by all means let's move on. Needless to say that if The butterfly returns he is most welcome to drop a game in...or if we get a new player it stands to reason that he/she will play for team D. [/quote] Excellent, now lets get on with what is more important: Playing the game rather than discussing it. <IMG id=Image

[quote]I think one of the problems with that would be that the passwords may have to be changed, And if we happen to win there could be controversy. [/quote] Both good points...let's just go with what we have then. <FONT size=2

The Kzinti Empire takes note that our brothers in evil have [B]finally[/B] surpassed the moribund Overmind! We have been watching, and expected it a lot sooner, as they are old, bloated, and ripe for the slaughter. We send our congratulations, and hope you thoroughly enjoyeed the carnage, torture, and pillage. Evil luck to all of you! KzintiPatriarch <IMG

I would actually like to have two picks, but I'll go with whatever the consensus seems to be. If there were to be a change, I was thinking I could get to pick one of the poeple who were assigned randomly to another team (so as not to steal someone elses pick!) and then lose to that team one of the people randomly assigned to Team D. Does that seem like a fair resolution? Thanks... KzintiPatriarch <IMG id=Imag

[quote] We just lost our 2nd pick...what happens now? Well...er...nothing. Team D is a 4 man team. This is certainly a reasonable thing. Clearly with the count as it is presently losing one person would force us to have one four man team and four five man teams. So the 4 man team may as well be the team that lost a man. [/quote] We still do have a 4 man team, but lost 1 of our 2 actual picks, which would theoretically put us at a

Sorry to hear that butterfly, and I hope everything turns out allright. Do what you need to do. We just lost our 2nd pick...what happens now? <FONT color=#ff

[quote]Team leaders should PM Technician at the Core and you can tell him what password you would like. [/quote] Just sent him one. Thanks. <FONT color=#ff00

I have still not seen a PM over at the core for a new Team forum password. Any idea when it might be sent out? Sentient species taste better...

Many of them were eaten, with the last thing they ever saw being something like this: <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_1 alt="Sentient species taste better..." src="http://www.mypicshare.com/thumbs/20070803/vqrpalpt.jpg" onload=ImageResizer.createOn(th

[quote] It does pull two players out of the potential draft pool and keep two players commited to staying in team D but I see no real big deal with it. I didn't realize this...oh well. If no one else has a problem with this than neither do i. [/quote] I didn't think of that either...it would mess up the draft a bit. Just make a ruling on one captain and we'll go with that? <A href="http://www.mypicshare.com/vqrpalptpic.html" target=_

[quote] Just so that we can move things along when it comes around to your pick again, make sure you both agree on who that pick will be and whoever is active first can post. [/quote] I hope that it wont slow things down at all, as the draft seems sort of slow already. I'll be communicating with ShadowWorrior about who I was thinking of for the next few picks. [quote]Team C picks: Dystopic I was gonna pick Playjeff but as I said, I am

[quote] Not on the selection of PlayJeff but on whether or not ShadowWorrior or KzintiPatriarch is defacto captain of Team D. Anyway one of these two is captain and the other is in the available pool and the easiest way to go is a ruling from the commmissioner. [/quote] I'm good either way. On one hand I did put some thought and time into considering potential draft picks, so on that account I'd like to be captain. On the other hand ShadoWorrior was officially the captin to begin

Tead D picks: Playjeff45 As the team membership is being changed for this round, could we get a pssword change or re-set for the various team forums at the core? It would be useful for any team strategizing. <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_1 alt="Sentient species taste better..." src="http://www.mypicshare.com/thumbs/20070803/vqrpalpt.jpg" onload=ImageRes

I'm willing to be the captain of Team D, but I want to look over the available players first, so I can make an informed choice. I'm at "work", and also have some D&D stuff to work on before my Wednesday gaming group meets today. How about if ShadowWorrior shows up before I make a pick, keep him as captain, and if I pick first I'll be the captain? <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_1 alt="Sentient species taste better..." src="h

Is there a list of players somewhere so the captains can see all the people in the current round and make their choices? I'd like to see everyone who is playing too. Sentient species taste better...<

[quote]This is a deal breaker for me. I'm glad I held off from updating this time. [/quote] I agree with Shiva...I've held off on updating to 1.8 so that any bugs could be worked out, but now I'm definitely not going to do it until this particular issue is resolved. In my opinion number of normally habitable planets to extreme planets was too low to begin with anyway. I've always thought that a game setting where the player can adjust this ratio (with some limits) would be an excellen
