ive played klingon, hydran for the coalition and lyran for the alliance . I like the format the Roms and gorns are on different planes of existence

By Lloyd Bangs (Space_Madness) on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 10:29 am: Edit

I have never played Hydran or Rom. H needs a very good player to run it. dont care for a cloak and i am pretty good at squashing them tho from F2. tho R2 has an adv having the only uncontested sect92 for income. my record is Coal=1 loss, Alli=2 wins/1 loss.
so we need 8 more players then we will work out the teams. to keep from cluttering up the message board all willing persons email me at mr.bluedragon@yahoo.com so i can help get this setup.

By Lloyd Bangs (Space_Madness) on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 11:05 am: Edit

If everything is OK with Paul of course.

Also, the rules allow us to let one player play both segments of a race. therefore i would be willing to run both Feds. if anyone wants to do the same with another race we would need less players. dont forget each segment is a separate entity from the others and connot conbine on the field. two segments is two separate turns, and a turn fee for each segment. so twin players need to commit time and expense trough the end of play.

i should be all caught up from my late start after Paul runs Turn 2. does he run them all at once? how long does it take to gets the results? i am eager to see it!
hopefully he will insert a notice to players on all running games about the Hist and FT games.

So the last count i have is 24. Did we get the last slot filled?

By Jeff McKlevey (Low) on Monday, February 06, 2012 - 01:56 pm: Edit

Just looking at the timing on turns between DH30 and S86. My DH30 t173 is due 2-12 and the new S86 starts 2-12. Will these be both running the same weekends or will they be running one each weekend offset from each other?

By Lloyd Bangs (Space_Madness) on Monday, February 06, 2012 - 02:38 pm: Edit

Hopefully Paul can answer that. but i seems the same to me as well. hopefully he will not stack the historical game on top of these games when we get it rolling.
filled two more alliance slots. we still need to fill two corps on both sides.

By Paul Franz (Andromedan) on Monday, February 06, 2012 - 09:23 pm: Edit

Jeff,
Yes. I try to run 2 games each weekend.

By Gene Malin (Privateer) on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 08:05 am: Edit

Yeah! Turn today, must kill something!

By Jeff McKlevey (Low) on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 08:52 am: Edit

Thinking Gene might be about to go into SFW withdrawal J

By Lloyd Bangs (Space_Madness) on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 09:42 am: Edit

I know I am! i go into withdrawal 30 min after i finish my turns. no need to wait for them to come back. dh30 plus 86 starts too! yahoo! will we see them today or tomorrow? i have a sick day today so today would be cool.
still have 2 more coalition slots to fill and we can get the historical started! any volunteers??

By Gene Malin (Privateer) on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 01:11 pm: Edit

I need a game that is going on the opposite week. This way I would have one game a week going. A Tourney game or another DH would be nice.

By Gene Malin (Privateer) on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - 08:51 am: Edit

NO TURN YET......ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG........

By Lloyd Bangs (Space_Madness) on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - 09:42 am: Edit

understood. i am home sick. was hoping for a turn(s) to make me feel better. guess i can wait a few more hours before i see how many ships i squashed! wont be yours yet though Gene!
wonder if there are enough players to get 86 started.

By Lloyd Bangs (Space_Madness) on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - 07:00 pm: Edit

Hey Gene!!! happy happy, joy joy!! its here!

By Gene Malin (Privateer) on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - 09:00 pm: Edit

Yeah, but the event I asked for isn't a good one anymore. I also used the BO order that is normally used starting in 170 at turn 5 but because this is a timeshift game, that wasn't adjusted either so it can't be used until 175 now.
Probably shouldn't say to use SFW 11 as a guide if the events aren't going to be the ones that happen. It was a VERY wasted turn.
I think an actual event sheet should be published of the events that we can actually use, INCLUDING CHANGES AND ADDITIONS.
This is the 2nd turn out of 4 where something happened that shouldn't have.
Not real happy at the moment since all the work up to this point just went out the window.

By Lloyd Bangs (Space_Madness) on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - 09:18 pm: Edit

Gene,
the BO order can be confusing. but if you read the rules it states to be available on turn 5. there is no mention of a year. so no matter what year the game starts you cannot use BO until game turn 5. the only other way around it is to use EV #76 for 5 orders.
keep track of time shifted commands, coming events and items on a sheet of paper for each game. that way you wont miss things.
i have come across 3 errors in the first two turns. as i started late i got overcharged for my WG, WA didnt account for my late running turn, and thus i lost at least one ship purchase. the ME order was wasted before Paul corrected it. nothing abnormal this turn.
you know the nature of the game is to be ready for losses on the field. hopefully you can make adjustments in time.
let me know if you want to talk about it.

By Gene Malin (Privateer) on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - 06:38 am: Edit

Lloyd,
I was around when the BO order came into effect (in fact, I was one of those that proposed it based on the DH games of the time), and most Tourney games were time shift. So I have a reasonably good grasp of when they could be used, or at least I did way back when. If there was a time shift game, A1 would adjust all of those rules that were affected by the shift. I just wasted 4 turns working a strategy that is no longer valid. I have asked repeatedly for any list of changes, additions etc and have gotten nothing other then piecemeal info. The site says use SFW 11 as your guide to the events, well, that is not valid info since there are things that have been removed and things that are not listed that are now usable like the sector special events. This is not a good thing.
Not a happy camper right now.
But to be honest, I am done griping about it, it is what it is.

By Lloyd Bangs (Space_Madness) on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - 03:31 pm: Edit

Didnt mean to further upset you and i dont blame you for being unhappy.
i am getting my space legs back after my long hiatus. i dont recall all the details of game function from earlier games after all this time.
i'd be happy to discuss game functions on a secure channel. shoot me an email. mr.bluedragon@yahoo.com.

By Lloyd Bangs (Space_Madness) on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 - 04:08 pm: Edit

All Players: we have 2 open slots left on the coalition team in the new Historical Game. Must be willing/able to play Rom or Lyran. For more info email me at mr.bluedragon@yahoo.com for more detail.

By Gene Malin (Privateer) on Thursday, February 16, 2012 - 07:47 am: Edit

Ken,
Thanks for all the info. I may yet be able to salvage part of the first 4 turns anyway.
Gonna have to get plum mean.
