Grats Mumble! I know you've been searching for that for a long time, and I admit I was doubting whether you could. The only real downside to the entire game was the fact that I only had 5 morale resources which required that I have 3 VRC's per 20B planet instead of the normal 2. That kinda surprised me, I thought you normally played without morale structures. edit: can't get the quote to show up properly... I don't think I'll ever get

Grats on milking out a little more scorage, KP. Did you try that tip I suggested, and if so, did you get any mileage out of it? I feel compelled to rename many of you *cough KP, Neilo, et. al.* "YZCrack Addicts" [e digicons];P[/e] (nothing better to do atm, imaging drives all day)

[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="1" id="1914113"] ... However, it's worth noting that if you are on a 32-bit OS, you are still limited to 4GB, minus your video card, and whatever your primary application (presumably you have some purpose in mind by setting the flag for 3GB) is going to be consuming the vast majority of that 3GB, if not all of it (read: late game immense GCII games, etc), which doesn't leave much for anything else. Taking into account the above subtraction f

[quote who="Extant Faora" reply="15" id="1915172"] So in other words you can litterally have 100 research points without building any labs on said planet. So if you start making 5 million BC's per turn, you are able to have a class 1 planet dishing out hundreds of research points per turn. So you can research down the entire tech tree in a matter of turns without building any labs. [/quote] Nope,

I haven't played that game condition yet, but judging by the settings I'd say that's a great game JustinSane!

Hrm, been having trouble getting logged into this site today, as well as problems getting into my hosting site.... Anywho, my game is not nearly as good as KP, but I still wanted to get an early submission for Team Eternal Villany.. And Purple Robots of Death are cooler anyway!

Plesantly surprised.. thanks to KushHaze coming in to the last minute rescue, Team C didn't come in last! I'm also surprised we didn't have any zero-year wins this round. I was actually frightened by submitting my 1-year tech win so early, I wanted to get fastest win but was pretty certain one of y'all would land a zero year with a higher score to boot. Either I'm stepping up my game or everyone's just kicking back more. [link="http://altmeta.kryofx.com/char/1

Had some free time today and didn't want to start anything big so I figured I would fool around with these ZYWs, and I figured out one of the un-advertised 'tricks' you guys are using to help out with your ZYW scores :) Seems like it's been a while since I've figured something out for myself.[e digicons]B)[/e] And no, I'm not telling what it is.

In regards to using advanced race customization to customize a stock race, can the starting techs be changed within certain paramaters without tripping a cheat flag? (in Dark Avatar) I also recall a link to a thread that showed which fields in the xml file were legal to change, but I can't find it anymoe. Thanks. edited, I meant to say MV, not MVL

First off, congratulations to our co-commisioners for a great round! Question: Not that it really matters now, but since TGE is now an un-announced non-submission, does my second game come back into play? And if so, would it be eligible for bonus points?

Reply to MVL Round 11 in Metaverse

Things I liked about this round: The multiple victory conditions & ethical requirements, having two commissioners (seemed like having two made for less stress all around). Would have been less confusing if the game settings screenshots could have made it in though. On a different note, could Team C's roster be updated to reflect all the changes we've had?
