Space Empires IV Gold Game

Whoops! I made a booboo. Accidentally marked my empire and the Tholians as destroyed. Rather irritating that there's no confirmation click and no way to undo it. Hopefully the admins can fix it, otherwise I'll re-create the game and upload the turn. It shouldn't delay things too much, especially since I uploaded the current turn (had to execute it manually) to the game page, so you can all get started on your turns right away, you just might have to wait a few hours or until tomorrow to actually upload them. I'll keep you posted.

EDIT: Just realized another mistake I made. I checked the "replace current turn" box both times I executed manually, so I uploaded the same file twice so that the turn counter would catch up with the actual number of turns. Hopefully that will be the last error I make.

Problem is being taken care of as I write this. Sorry about that. Won't happen again.

Hell with that. He was my ally! His empire now belongs to me!

Uhh... I just got three turns in my email.

Just use the most recent one.

Bolte, are you done with this game? If so, you should tell us so we can find a replacement. If I don't hear anything from you, I'm going to start looking for someone else to fill the spot.

Heh, looks like the future Federation declared war on me. This is why you want to get your turns in on time, folks. You never know what the damn fool AI is going to do.

Wow. I would've expected the UFP Federation to declare war on me, not you. I guess it overlooked me because I'm in first place right now. You going to roll back the turn?

Arthur_Tuxedo · Post by **Arthur_Tuxedo** » 2006-01-25 11:22pm

No. I've said previously that I wouldn't roll back turns if someone misses unless they give advance notice, and I'm not going to go back on that just because I stand to personally benefit. I am somewhat surprised, though. Uraniun has never missed a turn before. Are you having computer problems, Uraniun? If so, you should give advance notice so I can set it to ALPU mode.

That'll be fun to roleplay then...

Uraniun235 · Post by **Uraniun235** » 2006-01-26 01:53am

WHAT THE FUCK

*insert line of swear words*

I am really sorry. Goddamnit. I hate the AI. Why can't it be less "CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP ROFLCOPTRS" and more "autopiloty"?

Gah. No, I've just been busy and forgetting to get my turns done promptly these days. Sorry. This does pretty well screw us over what with resetting trade back to 0...

EDIT - um, it's not letting me send messages to Kirk or Martok anymore...

he;lp

Need to wait one more turn.

Everyone should click "do not let AI make changes to empire in a simultaneous game" under Empire Options.

Better make sure "Captain Picard" doesn't show up again. Lol

Everyone's had setbacks now it seems. You know, Bryan destroyed several of my attack ships a while back because he thought I was going to turn on him.

Trogdor · Post by **Trogdor** » 2006-01-26 09:42am

Damnit, Brian, this is the second time you've tried to frame me! I'll get you for this!

Kirk didn't exactly like the inhabitants of the recently conquered planets, they had destroyed two of his ships and many fighters in an unprovoked attack, prompting Kirk to invade their space, but the Dominion's mass murder of millions of people from orbit was an unforgiveable crime. When the Dominion fell to the Federation's might, he would make sure that their so-called Founders were tried for war crimes and genocide.

Oh, the irony! Kirk killed Dominion refugees.

Is Alan still submitting his turns? I haven't heard a word on the forums for a while, and there's been a lot of AI action...

Arthur_Tuxedo · Post by **Arthur_Tuxedo** » 2006-01-31 10:38pm

Doesn't look like there will be any takers on the replacement, so I just marked the Tholians as dead.

Does that mean that there's going to be a crazy land grab between Dalton and Brian for the Tholian systems?

brianeyci · Post by **brianeyci** » 2006-01-31 10:47pm

Not unless we figure out a way to bypass his invinci shield armor combo.

If he had attacked earlier before my military buildup... I would have been finished. His light cruisers are able to take down battleships.

Tux has marked him as dead. Does all his shit just disappear and leave empty systems, or is his empire now run by the AI without us having to wait for the turn timer to run down? This is my first PBW game. I don't know how this stuff works.

brianeyci · Post by **brianeyci** » 2006-01-31 10:53pm

His empire hangs around for whoever can grab it.

I wouldn't recommend it though. Once you see his ship designs you'll see...

Brian

Trogdor · Post by **Trogdor** » 2006-01-31 11:00pm

He's rather far away from me, so even if you weren't being the Evil Empire I couldn't, at least not easily.

EDIT: the only reason I'm so interested is because I know if they did just disappear, then you'd get a crapload more territory and I really don't need that.
