Weren't you saying there was no confirmation dialogue boxes before? That happens if you're not using IE...

I'm pulling out of this game, because I'm just not feeling it anymore. I was excited at first, but this pace just sucked all the fun out of SEV. I suppose it gets fun later, but I don't feel like waiting around.

So the AI is now in control of the Sethulkra Clan. Sorry, folks.

Turn 15

Executes on Friday, December 1st at 9:00 PM PST. Executed before you sent your turn, IB, sorry. :( And IB and darn need to sign up on PBW / tell me their usernames so I can assign. And IB is player 6, darn is player 7, and Trogdor is player 8, yes?

Doh! Should have been the first thing I tried.

No need to say sorry, that's the way it goes, I quit out of SE:IV games all the time. Now that PBW's up what people generally do is play two games, 48 hour alternating, so you do half an hour a day, but for some people that's understandably not enough. The pace speeds up when there's PBW and not Tuxedo executing the game, and when you have less people like three or four. Anyway, no problem.

Time to see if Stark's still in for it... if you could pm me or Arthur your password that'd be wonderful :twisted:.

I can't see how to change the password in SE5. Where's the button to do that?

I don't think it's possible. Did Gerard use some important password he can't give out? Didn't your mother tell you to always use different passwords everywhere, I keep a password book :wink:.

You could just look at his empire file, which as of 1.13 was still open without asking for the password, and give the password to Stark or whoever joins. I'm sure someone will want to.

Who can remember more than 2 or 3 passwords? I certainly can't.

Serves me right for trying to figure stuff out at the last minute.

Wow, so it looks like you can trade technology, even racial technology at the click of a button.

The Nagamaroon Empire will convey the secrets of Fighters 5 to whoever can give me Medium Hull construction first, one time offer. This will be demonstrated by bringing a light cruiser to my space, the current outlying systems being Yoshri or Uzara. Or, you may give me the command codes to a light cruiser hulk. In return I will give you the command codes to a cargo transport loaded with a medium fighter. Then we will do the "trade all technology" treaty option. I expect to get all comm channels from everybody in the next few turns, so if you have not had the pleasure of meeting our merchants, be ready for them.

Brian

EDIT: Actually we should think of banning technology trading entirely IMO.

Whoa, crazy torpedo exploitable bug. Was this in prior versions? Quantum torpedoes are available without having researched quantum engines.

Okay, everyone's assigned to the game in the correct order. Just upload a dummy .emp file (or a real one, whatever) and we can run the next turn via PBW :). Sorry for the name, Brian, but I couldn't remember your empire's name when I assigned you.

Dunno, IB mentioned when using autocomplete, it would sometimes give you components you never had.

You'll get to know it well enough when I'm hovering over your homeworlds :twisted:.

Anyway I pmed Stark, and he says he's interested. If Gerard's out, you've got to kick him and reassign the bottom few players in the right order if Stark's joining. I'm not sure what his PBW handle is.

That was just for supply/ordiance storage on like, weapon platforms.

Everyone should upload their .emp files now. Once everyone's done that, I can upload the turn, kick Gerard, and have Stark join as a replacement (easiest way to do it). The next turn will be run via PBW, so it can't happen until this is done.

Seems like PBW is down (again) or something, so I can't upload my empire right now. I also sent turn 15 via e-mail, since I wasn't sure if "next turn" meant it or turn 16...

PBW site is up, upload away! Not going to run this next turn manually, so the show can't go on until everyone's uploaded an .emp file of some description. Doesn't have to be an actual one, just upload a blank text file named eatshit.emp if you want.

We're golden. Turn is due in 48 hours when it automatically executes.

So wait, this is turn 14 still right?

It's the same as before so I assume it is, and I'm just uploading the old .plr file.

For Stark, you need a PBW account and you need to post its name so Tuxedo can add you in place of gerard.

I suppose I should upload the next turn a bunch of times until we hit the correct number. Any reason not to do this?
