Since I'm pretty sure the deadline is near(or not). I'm leaving this submission here that if I'm not able to complete another game until the deadline then this is to count as my submission. Score: 6120 Race: Thalan Empire Years: 4 Character: General Hawkins Difficulty: Painful All settings as specified for Round 4. Is there still no news on Vilgan or Elwood?

[quote]Actually a question for Kryo. The Metaverse allows a single resubmission of a game. The question is does the AltMeta eventually pick up this potential scoring change? If so, would these potential changes ripple back into MVL submitted games and possibly chage previous rounds results? The best answer would be if resubmitting a metaverse couldn't change data from previous (or current) MVL rounds. If this would be difficult to manage then we would have to legislate against

[quote]the team captain should be able to set what kind of optimization they want. i.e. as a precautionary measure, the captain can set that the game which will optimize their score and/or speed, should be selected if the afore-mentioned scenario should become a reality.[/quote] As an adage to point 2. I proposed this earlier.

Btw, anyone seen Vilgan or Elwood? EDIT: I think we could afford to get a concession if only one of those players were a no-show but if both... we'd be a player down and suffer the -2 penalty. Thats the long version for insta-lose. The same thing happened to Team D in Round 2. They came last...

[quote]AltMetaMVL Submission Method Each team is to have a separate team submission page which is accessed via a single password generated by the MVL AltMeta administrator and sent via PM on GalCiv2.com to the defined team captain who is required to share this password with any teammate that desires it. A new password must be generated whenever any team member leaves the team.[/quote] It sounds fine to me. Only I don't think any player should be given the freedom of submitting

[quote] You know I think this idea is so cool, Maybe about four of us could get together and try this as a side thing and a test of how someting like this would go. [/quote] Make that five! Of course, there are still points to be taken into consideration. First, suppose that the average team difficulty is crippling and we're playing a medium map with 9 opponents. Dystopic starts and gets a nice colonization phase going. Then its DA's turn. DA gets a few AI un

Lets see here... Lord Kona is supposedly in control of a fictional economic and military superpower civilization. Darth Vader is a supposedly master of the force and also in control of vast fleets and of course, the Death Star. Not to mention, the Empire. Who is Kane though? I haven't played Tiberium Wars. Between Kona and Vader. Hmm... Kona.

[quote] The software the implements the MVL support needs to know that Mumblefratz is Toshiro and DethAdder is MetaLeaguer and so on. This software doesn't have to determine character ownership from the RSS data it can know simply because we tell it so by setting up a table of users and their characters for everyone in the MVL. This table can be added to over time which would in effect be the main function of an administrator, enter new MVL members and their characters as

[quote] The way I understand it is that if a ship could create a big space time distortions in front and behind the ship so the space behind would be pushing the ship and the space in front would be pulling.

It won't be faster then light speed, will it?
