Sure Ops can play in games on other servers, so long as they are not on staff with that server, and so long as they are not the Ops from UTW!

Laff RExx.. I would love to play a game with Sage and Owen, it would be interesting, and I think pretty cool...

hahaa, but of course you also think BG should be President and that Mt. Dew is actually good for you too! j/k Eh, it prob would be though, but only for their opposition!

If you want to work on an edit, go for it! There doesn't seem to have been any serious suggestions on a pre-made edit, so go ahead and make one up and we'll play it I trust your judgement.

ANyone else have feelings on this?

If you're seriously spending 12-15 hours at keys in a game, and you have to do that in order to have any chance at winning, then maybe you should go to the TW school.

Why have a time limit at all if setting it to 12 hours? I just don't think you're going to agree with anything in this game, Stockton, and we can't make a whole game just to suit you.

We're voting on this, and if you don't like how the vote goes, you don't have to play, you can wait for the next game.

So far this is what we have the highest votes on. MORE PEOPLE PLAYING NEED TO VOTE IF THIS IS GOING TO WORK. We’ve had 4 official votes, and I’ve included stockton’s objection to a time limit, though he hasn’t mentioned a preference for anything else, like sectors, turns, etc, so that questions has a slightly different amount of people voting than the others.

10k sectors
1k turns
3 man corps
Time limit of 8 hours
Turn Bank 3 days
Photons Yes 2 Seconds
Aliens No
Edits: River Rat has volunteered to Edit

Here are how the votes go (I changed 1 of my own votes, I changed my vote on sectors from 8k to 10k). SO far 4 people have voted. Not all the tally’s add up to 4, because some people have indicated that they don’t care about a particular setting     . WE need more people to vote on this to put the settings in stone. Anyone who wants a chance to vote on this, please do so with the previous post everyone else has been voting with. Anything that indicates no preference will be lumped with whatever the majority vote is.

Votes tallied are in parentheses.

Sectors         
5k(1)   7k  8k     10k(3)

hahaha the newb killian is telling me i need to go to tw school... that is priceless.

Killian.. part of the fun of tw is the interactivity, and fed chatter, and live ship to ship combat and live invading...   if YOU cant deal with this maybe you need to go to tw school.. a four hour time limit will severely limit all of this...   and 12-15 hours still means people cant be on 24/7 which you are so scared of facing because you cant win against good players..

all because killian is scared of a little pdropping LOL what a joke..

four man corps would be better also, three is a joke.

ROFL

Newb??

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I was a little rusty for a month but that was about 7 months ago. In that time I've played QUITE a few games that way more than made up for lost time. This is no newb, becfore this 7 months, I've played on and off since 1996. You can try and say "Well this isn't the same game as it was then" but the fact remains that this game hasn't changed besides individual edits. The scripts have only gotten faster, and thats about, they do the same things they did 10 years ago.

And a good player doesn't have to be on, 24/7, they know how to set their stuff up, and they know when to check on their stuff. As for fedcom chatter, if you want to chat for 8 hours, so be it. I almost never use fedcom. I have it turned off most of the time.

I'm not scared of facing anyone, I think that people who USE AFK SCRIPTS while they're gone is absolutely ridiculous and if you would have read a SINGLE ONE OF MY POSTS regarding a time limit, you would see that I said repeatedly:

"I have no problem with P-DRop scripts. I have no problem with photon scripts. I have no problem with people using scripts."

I have probably said it 5 times now that I have a problem with players who sit on-line all day and BABYSIT the game, and obviously I am not alone since so far there are 3 votes for a time limit and only 2 votes for none and I know some people who mentioned they wanted a time limit haven't voted.

This isn't smack talk, Stockton, so please take the accusations of Newbishness elsewhere. If you do not have anything productive to add to this post, like actually voting for something else besides whether or not there is a time limit, then you are not making any significant contribution to getting this game up and running.

You haven't brought anything to the table except complaining about a time limit. Say something else, we already know how you feel about the time limit for Pete's freakin' sake.

I have a better idea,, why don't we set a certain time of the day that ONLY killians corp is allowed on so noone can kill them or protect their grid against them..

killian, hun, you are very much a newb who is terrible at tw.. its ok, i didn't realize this was going to be a newb game.. i will sit out and help organize big game, for the big boys...

good luck with your newb game

Okay, sit out.

If you don't agree with how the settings are being set via the vote, then you don't have to play. No one is making you. There are plenty of other games of at your calibre of play that you can join where there are no time limits.

The fact is, Stockton, I'm NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO VOTED FOR A TIME LIMIT and you seem to be making personal attacks against me because things aren't going your way. This game is being set up so a MAJORITY of TURNS players will play. This game isn't being set up for Stockton.

Deal with it. Suck it up. And if this game doesn't float your boat, find a different one then. Its just that simple.

I believe i just said that didnt I? plus you have a grand total of five votes so far with a overwhelming 3-2 lead for a time limit.. lets see where things end up and then i will make a final decision whether to play in a newb game or not...

I don't want the game to suffer because of this disagreement between two players, please if you are interested in this game, vote for the settings that you want. In case people lost it through the pages of crap in here, the voting form is this:

8. Aliens: No
9) Edits: Dune

As long as we mix up the edits and parameters for the different games and don't get locked in to the same parameters every time. Variety is the spice of life.

ok people.  In my opinion the turns should coincide with the amount of sectors.  100 turns per 1k sectors
May preference is 1000 turns 10k sectors
All edits should be default stock tradewars settings except planet cit time which I think have always been slow.  Cutting cit times in half makes a better game. If you really want to be basic trade wars, 1/4 ship delay.
I know everyone hates that, but that is basic tradewars.
