and thats why we are lucky to have you Mumblefratz; this may be a passion for Neilo but can you even imagine the chaos that could ensue? I try not to.

OK, well...after having tread the treacherous shark infested waters of pages 3 and 4 Yes-I think the captain's password system, and then handed out, is best Yes- I completely agree (100%, no qualms whatsoever) with Neilo's assessment of how a non submitted game is chosen (the you have 3 chances thing: individual, captain, altmeta software) Yes- I am for the limited restrictions, which as you say Mumble generally minor and short-lived. For the record I do hav

really? i have to respectfully disagree; it was all flash and no substance to me; I'd have to go with either the Enterprise vs Reliant in Wrath of Khan or the opening sequence to First Contact.

Unfortunately, going by precedent, such as with Dys in Round 4; once a submission is made to this thread it is considered official. If Neilo or Mumblefratz have anything to add, subtract, or contradict me with, then by all means but well...the ending date is in the OP and is static such as the round conditions. Sorry bud

yes....its why I haven't chimed in for awhile; I was telling Neilo last night that at this point I don't even know what people are saying yes and no to anymore. And if [color="#FF0000"]I'm[/color] getting lost, then goodness help those that are not as involved.

sweet. Kudos to you, as always, Mumble for tackling our collective chaos Also, thank you Kryo for all your help and input so far; no matter what direction we decide to take it, is very highly appreciated. I'm all ready to get the word out to see where this goes.

ok so...well when u start to think you have a handle on something, you find out that you are still just one of the ignorant masses, but are we ever truly enlightened? lol i digress. anyhow...alright just the character names are listed, easy enough, MVL members just need to give the administrator(s) their character names for cross-referencing. Since the admin would then know Toshiro is Mumblefratz, all those games are inherently valid at face value. The only thing the administrator wou

Reply to Stargate Total Conversion Mod's Ships in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

well, per Stargate rules all savaged/captured/found/etc ships must be destroyed within two episodes of their founding To be honest, since according to writer Joe Malozzi the Phoenix is going to appear in Atlantis it is more likely that it is either a 304 or an Aurora due to the financial constraints the show has, it just doesn't have the money to introduce a new ship with new sets (even the Daedalus basically just used the Promie sets, with

Reply to Stargate Total Conversion Mod's Ships in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I don't believe we are releasing the ships separately, though that particular decision is completely out of my control and hands, I do the xml work not the ship modding Our ship modeler is still working on some texture work on the established designs (which can be seen above) but he does have other ships planned. As for the Excalibur, yeah, won't argue its a nice ship <img src="smiles/Laugh.gif" border=0 align="absmiddl

Crash is a movie centered around the lives of a few diverse individuals whose lives intersect in interesting and unexpected ways. It won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2005?. I very highly recommend it.

Reply to The MVL and the AltMeta in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

ah ok, now I'm following...slightly better So we need confirmation on who is stating which game is being submitted for the MVL. We don't want to do the thread cuz thats what we are doing now so that defeats the purpose really, but since there isn't a way a user can go into the AltMeta securely to select a game we have the possible case of others selecting a game from another player and stating it as the submission. I think. <img src="

i think one of the most powerful/memorable scenes for me is from "Crash" when the shopkeep tries to shoot the locksmith and his little daughter jumps up to protect him with her "cape". I still think its one of the best movies I've seen.

we are still in some various development stages but we are coming along nicely, hopefully maybe the end of December or early January we will have a working beta, but that may be optimistic.

Reply to The MVL and the AltMeta in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

ok, so, let's see if i at least got this much right LOL, and this should help you Mumble. A concern that was raised was that submitted games in the AltMeta couldn't be confirmed to be from a player, since it just reads the character. Now, as I understand it there isn't anyway for a person to change things actually in the AltMeta since its just reading the MV scores under a given Empire. That being the case we shouldn't have to worry about confirmation too much since a person has to log in and

Reply to I cant find the add character button in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

i think there's an easier way but, this works: if you are in the forums, go to My Account, then View My Profile. On that page go to the Account menu, select Edit Characters. If you want the nifty little medals on the bottom you must also select a character to be Default, hit the grayed-out default button that will be to the right of our character, when selected it turns blue.

wow, catch a little cold, be in bed for a week, and look at all the things you miss out on. Lots of things to take in here....generally, I would say I am for inclusion in the altmeta. I think i have questions and points of clarification that I need but I just finished all the posts above me and yeah...too much to take in at once. Biggest concern off the top of my head: which game gets counted toward score. Kryo mentioned how he could make it so that it went for the highest score, but

Reply to Metaverse League Round 4 in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

as a reminder to all League players, when submitting a game I need, for score tallying purposes, at the very least: victory type, points, game years, Metaverse character, AND submittal time/date. Other details are helpful for me but not quite as important. Second important note, if you are unable to post your game to the MV for ANY reason but do have a completed game, please 1) inform us, specifically myself, Neilo, and FireBender at least and 2) you must post a screenshot, preferably

I can guarantee that the Excalibur is not in Season 10 of SG1, not even in "The Road Not Taken" (the alternate universe, the ship seen there is the Prometheus BC-303). As of yet it is not in Season 4 of Atlantis either.
