View Full Version : New PBW Game: Adamant 009

There is a new PBW game starting soon! Here is a link:

http://seiv.pbw.cc/text/index.jsp?menu=gamemenu.jsp%3fgame=1of6cfg&body=gam ebody.jsp%3fgame=1of6cfg (http://seiv.pbw.cc/text/index.jsp?menu=gamemenu.jsp%3fgame=1of6cfg&body=gamebody.jsp%3fgame=1of6cfg)

Only 10 player slots available, so act fast!

This will be a nice game using the latest Version of Fyron's Quadrant Mod Deluxe. No ship sets that appear in Sci-fi shows or movies (eg: Star Trek, Babylon 5, Star Wars, etc.) will be allowed. You must use either a stock shipset or a custom shipset that is not from Sci-fi.

Roleplay is not only encouraged, it is required. Please try to create an interesting empire from an RP perspective. If you feel like writing RP stories about events in this game, feel free to do so.

Since this is an RP game, no duplicate ship sets will be allowed. Before uploading your empire, please check the Shipsets thread in this game's forum to see if the ship set that you want to use is already taken. If not, post which one you will use and upload your empire. If you are using a stock ship set, please select it from the ship set list when you upload your .emp file. They are all labeled "Stock Shipset- Race Name." If you do not do this, I will have your empire removed so that you can re-upload it and select the ship set. If it is already being used, you must choose a new ship set. Any player that tries to use a shipset that is already being used will be kicked from the game before I upload the first turn. I hope this doesn't sound too harsh; I just don't want any duplicate empires.

You are not allowed to select the Ancient Race racial triat. This is becuase as this is an RP game, you should be able to rename planets without fear of being discovered. Also, this forces the map to be unknown to all, adding to the fun.

Stellar Manipulation will be disabled.

You may not communicate about in-game details with another player via any external media until you have met them in-game.

Also, please don't join unless you will be able to stay in the game for a long time. If your empire is about to die, don't quit the game, just stay in so the PBW server will mark your empire as dead instead of having an open spot for a dead empire.

Please use an email address that will both accept email from hotmail.com and will not constantly reach the size limit. You can go into your PBW settings (the clipboard) and select the option to not have the turn files emailed to you if the size of your mailbox is an issue. Thanks.

Surrender is disallowed. Therefore, gifting all of your planets, ships, etc. to another empire, which is an attempt to subvert this rule, is also disallowed. If you happen to see other players do this in the game, tell me, and I will investigate the situation. If this rule has been broken, I will upload an old turn to prevent it from happening, and I will consider kicking the offending players from the game.

If any player misses more than 4 turns in a row without any explanation, then I will kick him/her from the game. I have had problems with players in other games not sending any turns in for weeks, and I don't want it to happen here.

Please do not join this game if you plan on having a massive, pre-planned alliance (including, but not limited to, an alliance of 2 players). This game is not designed for that, and I would appreciate it if you do not ruin it for the rest of the players involved. If alliances happen to be started during the game, then that is not a problem.

I will start the game once, and only once, on a RANDOMLY GENERATED map. Some people will have good starting locations, some people will have bad ones. It is the luck of the draw. I will not restart it UNLESS someone starts with a homeworld that is not of Large size (or, if there is some other random unforseen error).

No bug exploits will be tolerated.

Time Distortion Bursts are Banned until further notice.

Retroseries building is not a bug, it is an intended game feature, and so is not prohibited by this rule (ie: it is allowed to be done).

Using multiple training facilities on moons is allowed.

Min-maxing of racial characteristics is allowed.

Tech trading will be disabled. You are allowed to trade ships to analyze.

I'd love to join Fyron. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

But I am playing 4 games, three of which are in the mid-game.

I am in about 15 games

But a few of them are winding down

Fyron
January 12th, 2003, 11:46 PM
I'm in 20 now, so what is your point tbontob? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif j/k

The game will use 0 racial points.

15! 20! Wow!

In those terms, I guess I really don't have a point! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

But this is all new to me. And I've noticed that the games I am playing (only 4 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif ) is taking more and more of my time. Maybe, I am wrong, but I would think they will take even more time as these games mature.

Also, the middle and end game is so very new to me. It means I have to spend some time figuring out what the fine points of the various components, facilities, weapons etc.

So basically, I do not want to take on any more games than I can comfortably cope with. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I don't want to bail on a game because of lack of time which strikes me as a bit irresponsible.

But maybe when I have attained the skill and expertise of you guys, I may be able to play 10 games or so.

But 15 or 20 seems almost god-like. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Also, I do have other interests which I would still like to pursue. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The others are much more reasonable...usually less than half an hour. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I get maybe 8 turns to play each day. I don't actually play all of those games every day. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I think it's full.

Looks like an intresting group of players. While I recognize many of the names from the message Boards, I think Fryon is the only person I have actually played in a game with before.

Unless someone randomly drops out before we even begin, the game is full. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

So let's all upload our empires so we can get to killing each other. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

errr....

do you need the mod to create the empire file ???

gravey101
January 18th, 2003, 06:03 PM
dont think so. Least I didnt use it.

Fyron
January 18th, 2003, 11:36 PM
You need the mod to play the game. But there are no changes to racial traits, so I think an empire made with the normal game should work in FQM Deluxe. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Some of us still hasn't uploaded their empires.

They are on their way to get some Orkish friendship. They'll love it.

TerranC, why have you not played any turns for this game yet?

Unknown_Enemy
January 27th, 2003, 11:04 AM
the game history of the galaxy is now on standby since the 17th for the same reason.

Does anyone knows what's going on with terranc ?
