[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] 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

Reply to MVL Round 4 Draft and Discussion in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

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

Reply to lack of planets/ habitable planets v1.8 in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

[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

I support the idea of Silverbeacher tabulating & tracking the scores. That said, the scoring rules should be clear enough to everyone so that they can make their own calculations if they feel like it...which I will be doing myself, as that sort of thing is fun for me. It's a good way to strategize as well. I agree with Vilgan that all the drama and acrimony was just plain silly. I hope all involved parties can take a step b

An alternative way to deterine the order of the picks would be to do something like some sports associations do, where team with the least points from the last round/season gets first pick. I think either way has pros & cons, and I'm happy with either, but I thought I'd put the idea out there. As for draft vs random assignment, I'd prefer a draft of some sort, so that teams will theoretically be somewhat balanced. <A href="http://www.mypicshare.com/vqrpalptpic.html" target=_bl

Reply to MVL Round 3 in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Just at a quick glance, there defintely seems to be some things off in the calculation. I had the highest cultural conquest score, but no BP? Maybe I'm misinterpreting the rules though. Other things look a bit screwy too. Also that the total base score for every team was 8. Either the teams were perfectly balanced in this regard, or the way the point system works makes the actual game scores virtually irrelevent (not taking into account the BPs). <A href="http://www.mypicsh

Those things dont matter a whole lot to me, as I play 99% of the game zoomed out so that everything is an icon. Occasionally though, it is nice to zoom in and see all the pretty graphics. I'd prefer they make actual other improvements before graphics improvements, such as game-mechanics, interface, and AI. <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_1 alt="Sentient species taste better..." src="http://www.mypicshare.com/thumbs/20070803/

I also think teams of 5 is best, for the flexibility reasons stated by others. It is also a good idea to have someone to take care of the tedious administrative things like Silverbeacher suggested. If it turns out you cant do it Silverbeacher, I would be wiling to, as tedious administrative work is what I do for a living. <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_1 alt="

Reply to How do YOU plan your home planet? in Dark Avatar GalCiv2 Forums

One addition to farm-building. Near the end of a game I will make sure each world has enough farms to make it to around 20B, in order to pump up the score a bit with higher pop. If score isn't a consideration for you then it's just a detriment, due to the drop in morale. <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_1 alt="Sentient species taste better..." src="http://www.mypicshare.com/thumbs/20070803/vqrpalpt.jpg" onload=ImageResizer.cr

and it takes exploitative gameplay to win on masochistic and higher, frankly. Not from my experience with masochistic, which at this point includes just 4 games at that level admittedly. Maybe it's necesarry at obscene or suicidal, but I havent used any of the major "exploits" I've seen talked about on the forums to win a game at masochistic. I know I'm kinda splitting hairs here, but that's what I've experienced so far. <div class="Articl
