Promethius or someone who is familiar with the corp generator he posted should chime in here? I'm not sure how the program works.
Big D, is it possible to have everyone to sign into the preview game under the name the will be playing under and run the corp generator before the real game even opens? That would give us time to collaborate and discuss with our teammates, but everyone who is playing would have to log into the preview.

It's possible, but that will be a real chore to get everyone in a game at the same time to do this. If anyone has any ideas I'll welcome them. I mean I can set up the game, but there's no way that I know of to make it a password game without creating every account in advance and putting the same pw on each account. Without a password, it will be almost impossible to keep game surfers out.

Ok i have an idea but it would take alot for the person doing it. just bang a closed game and create the players in the game run the generator then bam u have the corp. would be alot of work for the person doing this though.

Well in every draft or byoc game I have played in the sysop has banged a "practice game" for players to log in and check settings ect....
Never saw a problem w/ ppl just drifting in. The bigger problem is getting your own team to even show up....lol
And the ppl who do show up to check out the edits or practice, will be the peeps who need it the least. (Thats been my observation anyways)
But at least the good ceo's will log in and check out ship and planet edits to formulate some type of start-up plan for his/her corp.

I'm in. I dont like many of the "averaged out" settings. I doubt if any of us do but it is a TURN game, so Let's go.
Killian wrote: Wow... I step away for a day or two and all sorts of crap happens.
Big D has stated the game that he is so graciously banging for us for THE FIRST ROUND of the turns based game SERIES. This is the game we are playing. See how it says what the settings are, including that it is a 4-man corp game with randomly generated corps and a freakin' 12 hour time limit.
For those of you who were whining about the voting of the BYOC/Not-BYOC, if you notice, there never was a spot to vote for it, it has been a STATEMENT since the BEGINNING that the corps would be randomly generated for THIS GAME because the point of it is not to please everyone, but to get a game that is a close enough COMPROMISE to what everyone wants and get people together who might not have played together before. This is NOT a place for BYOC by its very nature.
Maybe for the SECOND ROUND we will have BYOC, no time limit, or whatever other thing you guys wanna do, but this game is to bring everyone together, the SECOND game is where we will add variety.
There is really no need for all the sniping that is going on. And there really shouldn't be much up for debate on this one, except who is in and who is out.
So yes, there is probably a setting here or a setting there that you disagree with, thats expected, no game is perfect. There is a setting or two here that I don't think is perfect, but thats not enough to stop me from recognizing that this game is probably going to be the most fun that I've had in a game for a while simply because of the fact that there are going to be PEOPLE there. And if everyone lets a setting or two stop them from playing this game, then no one will show, and it will just be some other turn game that no one is in.
Is that what you guys really want? For even a game that people were interested in to fail? Then you might as well just kiss TW in general goodbye if we can't get the most interested players to colaborate on ONE SIMPLE GAME.
I have faith in you guys to overcome your differences for the sake of a good game. I know those of you who have been on the bandwagon the whole time will be there, and I hope some of you guys who think that the time limit is ridiculous or that non-BYOC is lame will be there, ready to play their turns in 12 hours or less for their assigned corp anyway.
Now... I have only two questions:
Who is in? And who besides me is excited about this game, y'all?!? I'm tired of finding empty turns games.

the corp organization thing has been done by somebody already; prom seems to have a script for it so he probably knows how to do it w/ the least effort. Lets wait for his comments before we go making more problems.
Last compilation I saw for the ppl who have committed to playing:
Killian
River Rat
Bait
Stockton
Snow White
Zentock
Doom
MisBehavin
Promethius
The Reverend
Fork
Kavanagh
Mantis
Thrawn = Since the game is on Big D’s server, Come On In!
Jschrey
and Stocton and Steel Magnolia since then, I believe.
No more debate is needed FOR THIS FIRST GAME of a SERIES thanks to BigD and Killian's efforts. Thank you to both of you and to Bait for bringing this idea forward.
To those of you who tried to take this post off-topic, whined and contributed nothing positive, and/or attempted to use it to attack other ppl's efforts or their playing abilities, GO SUCK A LEMON
I'm tired of turns games with few players in them.
Who else is in?

I will handle that.
However, I'm having a hard time wading through this 22 plus pages worth of people who may or may not be playing.
People who ARE PLAYING send me a private message on this board.
I don't need messages from
Stockton
Kavanagh
Doom/Kane
Oso
Bait
Steel Magnolia
Anyone who isn't on this list, private message me if your for sure playing. I'm not going to wade through this whole thing and this is such a hot topic I know you will see this message.
Then I will submit the list. Game bang is the 20th, so deadline to private message me and get on the list is 8:30 on January 17th.
I will submit the list to Big D on the 17th by 9:00 PM CST.

We posted pretty close to the same time.
The only problem with having ICQ etc. as a contact is not everyone has it or can us it, like myself.

I'm going to close all games except game A and game S for 3 days on Saturday the 20th at 8pm. Most of them are over now anyway, but this will allow more server resources for players in those 2 games.
(A) RevStock
(S) SWAT Tournament

Well the reason i was doing that is because of the amount of posts this is getting, and if a new thread would start im sure there will be some wondering eyes in there, who would fill it up. But Im open to either way, hell make two lists then combine them at the end. Im open to anything just wanted to help out and get this done.

Another thing to consider is NO SHOWS. Is there going to be a backup list, maybe people wanting to sign up after the deadline, that can be replacements for players that can't make it on short notice? Also, you might want to enlist them in groups of 4 so the teams will be even.
