I say we just leave it as is, and play with whatever problems we encounter. As it has been stated so many times previous, there has been a great attitude and spirit behind this game. I would much rather see it started and played regardless of the possible problems we may encounter.

So lets get this going either tonight, or tomorrow night.

In view of the majority support in favour of running this game and starting asap, we will move the game to Trader Vic's server at using rev's edits, ver 2 as supplied by the rev today.

The new addy is: twgs.TraderVIcsTW.com, port 23
and the Website is http://www.TraderVicsTW.com

Game 1 of the Series, game letter E.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CORPIES ARE AWARE OF THIS MAJOR CHANGE!!!! ATM, it looks like the game start will be at 9 pm EST TONITE (Saturday). Look in this post for updates and I will also make another mass icq.

thats definatly a good move..   i appreciate big d hosting but his server seemed shaky and he was going to be out of town..   and the edits were wrong.

this solves all of that

Yep, sounds good to me.

Just a side thought, if opening the game beforehand to allow people to ztm is an issue, it's much easier, faster, and more efficient for the sysop to just use an observer account to create a 100% ztm and throw it up for download.

Slim has a point.

Same Prearraged login as before, or make your own?

yeah just bang the thing its not like we cant ztm after the game has started. was just kind of a bonus

Well the whole deal w/ the sysop doing it is to I think save on the server resouces by not have 20 ppl all at one time running ztm's.

Also maybe helps out the weaker teams a bit by having complete maps and falling for noob traps and mistakes. But hey no problem for me either way.

I am ready to rack a an easy kill or two to start the game.....

Start game tonight, i'm bored. And ready

It is starting tonight. 6pm pacific twgs.TraderVIcsTW.com, port 23

Server: twgs.TraderVIcsTW.com, port 23

Game Letter E, Game 1 of the Series   
(also: the Website is http://www.TraderVicsTW.com for other game-related info)   

Date: Saturday, January 20th at 9pm EST (still)    

Game:   RevStock Edits, ver 2.     

Sectors: 10k     Turns: 1000 (2 day turn bank - meaning turns will go to 2000 over 2 days)     

Time: 12 hour time limit    

Edits: RevStock (See the reverend for details)     

Corps: as set previously    

Tern: 12 midnite EST, 9 pm PST     

NO pregame ztm, and any ztm that was done last night/today WON'T WORK (sorry), it is a completely new map.

At game start, it will be an open game. Log in as you would any other game and use any password you wish. NO user accounts have been set up in advance.

Ok, now I think this is all correct and it's everything I know.      

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CORPIES KNOW ABOUT THE SERVER CHANGE (and that their ztm won't work).    

So is this no longer a "closed" game? I am assuming that because accts are not generated in advance.

And if that is the case, what is to stop other people logging into the game? Starting a corp of their own choosing for example.

Does anyone else see problems allowing that or is it just me?

Also I have no way to reach the rev....any possible way to get the ship and planet info or have it posted (in a readable format plz!) before the start of game??

If you log onto rev's server, and log into his revstock edits, you can view the entire edits in the cc and cj screens.
