Don't waste your time. Sysop played in game B. He runs Xtern in the middle of the day, stealing ships from everyone. Goes blue at the start of the game, grabs all the colonists, then flips red and removes the steal delay so he can make money faster!

Thats funny. I explained to you i had no idea why your top of the line ship that you supposedly had was missing. It wasnt in the DB.
I havent run a server in 8 YEARS! I was tweaking the settings and explained that to you.
Dont be upset because my partner COnvict cap'd you.

Look guys, I am sorry for any confusion. I think I have everything worked out.
I am not one to cheat. I hope everyone enjoys themselves, and if you have any suggestions/complaints let me know.

thanks

If I got mad everytime I got ship destroyed I wouldn't be able to play this game. I just don't understand why you would enable steal delay, then disable it after you flipped red. Unless you were trying to give yourself an advantage.... I mean if you want to mess with the settings, isn't that what your test game is for?

I understand you're new. I'll give you a piece of advise. Don't change the game settings in the middle of the game.

One thing I noticed was the command per cycle (think that is the name) seemed to be set way low.

And I hope the ping is just me at 12:30 AM CST - or it was an antivirus running:

S: ping : 469 ms
S: ping : 828 ms
S: ping : 1766 ms
S: ping : 422 ms

S: ----------------
S: Min: 422 Max: 3657 Average: 1082 -- Just here to attack aliens :(

I think I understand why the ships became missing and not show in the dailies , there is an option in Tedit to remove derelict ships .. that means any ship not occupied.

Lesson one to fellow sysops , don't touch setting to experiament with server while online and have active players.
Two , if you play .. remember rule one.

If you suspect something wrong , declare corrupt data and rebang , that way YOU can make changes to edit and not offend anyone by breaking rule one :)

Anyways I was getting my usual 380-420 ping till I came back from work after all this mishap happened and it shot to 800-1400 , something is happening , maybe sysop is turbo sst .. that can do it , or heaven forbid .. the mail.dat file is over 1 meg .. this happens allot with aliens.

Simple fix if that is the case , turn server off and delete that file , twgs will make a new one when you bring it back online.

Have fun with your game , I just wanted to kill time ..and since you asked .. you too .. :)
See iyt didn't bother me that the sysop was playing , it does bother me sysop has to play through tedit though.

Have fun .. it might be awhile till you get a user base going doing things like that.

I am playing through TEDIT? WHat is that?
Also sorry for the lag, I was downloading torrents over night. Wont do that again while there are games active.

And like I said. I was trying to work out bugs. I should have probably done this before announcing the game.
