I have a rather shaky photo of some gnu kissing, but it seems that we can not post images on this board. If anyone could advise how I can post it, I would be gratful, as would the photographer who risked life, limb and sanity to take the photo.

As for firing up our game, I feel that the suggestion of starting again from scratch would be our best move. Perhaps we should even leave the 1.67 patch out, it is just one more step slowing things down. Mac, I hear your concern, but this is really for the best and it will be simple to do. Truely simple, not like the other things we made you do...

Right now we have a 2-1 vote on it, can the others chime in?

Tigga, you are going to have to learn how to unzip files, as that is how the PBW systems sends them to you. Can't you get involved in that law suit when a bunch of Kenyan nomads are suing the British government for leaving unexploded shells all over the desert? That way you can fly down here and I can show you all of this in 15 minutes. It will also give me a chance to confirm the Shreck rumours.

More seriously, I got a copy of Unzip from a Pc Gamer cover disk, does anyone have any suggestions where Tigga can get a copy?

Mac....

All I was saying was that you could teach Tigga just so you could answer his questions. That way you learn some more and gain alittle more experience in the storage of files.

The only change you would have to make is to 'click' on the paths.txt file in the root directory of seiv gold and change the line
Using Mod Directory:=TDM-ModPack
to
Using Mod Directory:=None
then save the file.

Then teach tigga how to do all the stuff you just learned.

Then if tigga askes you a question you don't know you can either read up on it or ask here.

You knowledge increases and your skill set improves.

P.S. its a nice feeling when you think I know the answer to that question and I am going to help this person.


And another thing.

Toronto was tired and played one of the most boring games of hockey ever. They will bounce back.

The Col-SJ series is good.
Football
Looks like Arsenal has rapped up the league.

It will be nice to see city back up

not too much longer for the world cup.

Who do you think will win ???

I think Poland will go far.... but I do not know who will win.

Saxon,
Thanks for the pic. It is now at windingsteam.com
Do you think it is safe to post the link? I don't want to give mac or GT a heart attack.
I want to beat GT first, then we can do the shock thing.
Seriously, ya think I can?

Hmmmm, SEIV dilemma

Hmmmm, by the cunning artifice of deleting my heavily 'tweaked' SEIVG from Villesse (my computer) and reinstalling, I was able to play turn 1 of the game and in fact have just uploaded turn 2

Question - my race uses an excellent 'Atrocities' Federation shipset but I seem to be logging nto the game as the Drushocka or the Eeee or the Piundon or the Sallega - why is this?

Dilemma - I have just realised why I like SEIV so much - it is not the gameplay, it is not the tech, it is not the graphic, it is not any of this - it is the fact that I can "create" the '"perfick" space empire a la Starfire a la Honor Harrington a la Startrek - I can have fllets of 1000 starships, each lovingly named, each planet lovingly named and crafted

I have now realised that PBW doesn't let you do this if you want to win - you dont advertise, you dont give anything away

So.... what the hell do I do? play to win? or play for fun?

GT > I have the same problem with naming planets and ships, and designing ships that look great but are not effective for the rough and tumble nature of most PBW players. I guess that is why I don't play PBW very often unless it's a good role-play game.

"Question - my race uses an excellent 'Atrocities' Federation shipset but I seem to be logging nto the game as the Drushocka or the Eeee or the Piundon or the Sallega - why is this?"

Maybe you forgot to re-install your shipset when you deleted and re-installed SE4? If SE4 can't find a shipset it will pick a random once each time.
