At the suggestion of Lord Vader, I , Tempest offer a bit of a challenge.

On BlackSun in the Narnia game 20k of turns and 20k sectors (N) blacksun.gotdns.org:23 I am firmly entrenched. I offer 8 days of grace and building while I take a break, for anyone to find and take what is mine. Vader has kindly consented to put more colonists on Terra, to help level the playing field as it were. Come and enjoy one of my favorite edits. And good luck.

Hey tempest, you got a ZTM? For some reason I can never get a ZTM for a game on Vader's server. I always get kicked offline or something...I think he doesn't like me anymore! Otherwise, might be a bit of a challenge trying to track you down.

HHH


A ZTM in this game is an issue because some warp distances are greater than what the game was evidently setup with. This sounds strange, but the game seems to think that 30 warps is the longest distance and there are warps longer than that. You will get a message that indicates there are no routes to the sector, but you can plot a route from a different sector and get there. No avoids were set to give the error messages.

I'm not sure if that made sense, but a normal gridder has problems and a ztm isn't extremely accurate in this game unless you have a custom ztm script to handle this situation.

If a game is banged with gold bubbles, especially gold bubbles and tunnels, and then a fairly short max warp length, this will happen. Basically, the gold bubbles ignore that setting.

Well As I have nowhere left to run. And HHH has finally found me after I moved. I have to admit defeat as i cannot fight from a #SD# position. Was a fun time as far as I know.. I have enjoyed butting Heads with HHH on several occasions, lol none of which I won. I have learned alot from HHH whether he meant for me to or not. Thanks all who participated. I hope to have another position like this to fight from again.
