Anyone notice the metaverse empire and player listings acting strangely over the last 12 hours or so? I submitted a game before midnight last night, and my player and empire profile has the score registered. However, my player listing and the empire listing neither registers the score nor the the correct game count. Not a huge deal, but this is not consistent with metaverse behavior I have seen previously. Has anyone else noticed this? Bam-Bam

That takes you out of the "click next for each planet" queue. I like this even when I am not spamming constructors--since keystrokes are (to me) always faster than locating and clicking with the mous

[quote] Quite interesting, perhaps you can one day organise such a game but then between empires. Each empire will have 1 team, the one empire to win with the most points will win the contest.[/quote] That's a possibility. Sirian has plans for a tournament similar to the Realms Beyond Civilization Epics (see http://realmsbeyond.net/civ for more information). It's less of a competition--more of a comparison. Sure, for many of the games, there are winners, but we relish more of the

What we did was to pass off the game using a zip file of the save game and its folder of other files. I believe that we all used winzip (std shareware program) with the setting to "save overall path". Then when you extract the files using winzip, you end up with the save file and its folder with all the associated files intact. This can be done either extracting in the data/savegames directory, or somewhere else and the save file and folder then transferred. Useing winzip also keeps
