PLEASE READ THE TRUCE RULES BELOW....

TRUCE GAME RULES

TERN IS AT 12 Midnight ESD

NO BLATANT SWEARING: Some light words are okay, just don't get excessive. We'd like to provide and keep a family atmosphere.

NO RACIAL SLURS!

NO BLOCKADING STARDOCK OR CLASS 0 PORTS: Denying players access to Stardock or Class 0 ports (by surrounding with more than a single (MEANING ONE) fig densive, offensive or toll) is not permitted. Destroying these ports is considered the same as blockading and not permitted.

NO DESTROYING OF ANY PORTS DURING TRUCE PERIOD

SHIP BUYOUT'S are NOT permitted.

PLANET BUYOUT'S are NOT permitted.

NO PLANET FARMING BUG USE!

NO running scripts that kick other players out of the game or causes other players scripts to stop. No tag scripts allowed.

NO DUPES: Let me be clear! NO DUPES on Y-City Connection will be permitted! You can play multiple games, but I do not want to see you come back into a game after being **SD** or forgot your password (you need to contact sysop) I'm sure you all have good excuses, but fact of the matter is, you duped, you got caught. I do not care if you dupe and simply sit at Terra to chat on Fedcom. It's not allowed, and you will be banned.

NO COMBAT against other PLAYERS is permitted. Alien combat is permitted. Trapping another player with a ship interdictor is considered combat and not permitted. For those of you who are TRUCE IMPAIRED, capping and podding is also considered combat. Invading another players planet is considered combat. Alien planets, once acquired, and in a home sector, are truce protected.

NO NAV HAZ UNLESS IN YOUR HOME SECTORS FROM BLOWING PLANETS DURING THE TRUCE PERIOD.

SINGLE TOLL OR SINGLE DEFENSIVE FIG (YES THAT MEANS ONE) are permitted and may be placed in space lanes during the truce period. NO OFFENSIVE figs during truce period.

ARMID MINES are NOT permitted until end of truce.

NO building planets in MSL or in OPEN SPACE.

FORTIFYING YOUR FRONT SECTOR (cannons should be off in any other sectors behind your front sector with all available resources with one exception, INTERDICTING, during the truce period is permitted, including limpet mines, (no armids mines deployed anywhere till after truce) defensive or offensive figs and planet cannon fire and if another player INVADES your home sector with an aggressive gridding script during a truce and your planets BLOW THEIR SHIP TO ALL TO HELL………That is NOT a Truce Violation. HOWEVER, if you then kill their pod, that IS a truce violation and while they may be getting right back into the game. So NO it is not a truce violation for their aggressive script to wander into another players sector, due to they take a chance on ending up in a shiney pod.

IF IT IS A CORP WHO VIOLATES THE TRUCE OR RULES WITH CORP ASSESTS THEN THE ENTIRE CORP IS AT FAULT (KEEP YOUR CORP IN LINE IF YOU PLAY ON ONE)

A RULE VIOLATION COMPLAINT PROCEDURE IS AS FOLLOWS: Email the Sysop with the problem and proof of the violation {include screen caps of the alleged violation(s).}

Sysop yahoo email: y_city_connection@sbcglobal.net

SYSOP HAS FINAL DETERMINATION AND IT IS LAW!

BREAKING THE RULES OR TRUCE WILL GET YOU AND YOUR CORP DELETED FROM THE GAME, IP'S WILL BE RECORDED, AND BANNED FROM PLAY IN THE GAME YOU WERE DELETED FROM TILL NEXT REBANG OF THAT GAME!..[/size]

Game D is hosed. Drops to the game menu selection prompt approximately every 50 seconds even when just sitting in a sector.

Not sure if this will help or not on what is going on in game D or not:
(times are Central time zone, not game time).

"$STARTTIME" = "21:44:29"
Dynamic array of "$RELOGTIMES" (size 10)
"1" = "21:45:02"
"2" = "21:45:57"
"3" = "21:46:51"
"4" = "21:47:45"
"5" = "21:47:53"
"6" = "21:48:40"
"7" = "21:49:33"
"8" = "21:50:27"
"9" = "21:51:21"
"10" = "21:52:15"

But, I am cby'ing out - can't do much with the constant drops to the menu.

Game's corrupted. I bet the Error Log will show errors whenever the user dat file is accessed --happened to me once before. Seems to occur when you change Game or Computer time without a Rebang. Looks smething like:

I found this ClassicTW site by some nice person in a game I stumbled upon... I've been away from Tradewars for over 15 years ... (at least)

I have tried many games in many places - I have to remember how to play the game...

I found game A here to be perfect for me with the unlimited turns and low population (hard for me to screw up right...?)

Well - there seems to be NO one playing it! wth? Only 2 others appear on the high scores; and they dont reply to mail...

It's not all that fun to play alone!

but at least I'm picking up a few tricks and remembering some things...


Perhaps someone could offer a suggestion on how I can invade Ferrengal?


I've tried surrounding the place with over 20k figs in each sector - that doesnt stop them however (it should in a normal rules game) they just roll over my figs and keep escaping...

I've used mine disruptors to clear the 250 mines - only to find 250 more there the next day...

FIRST QUESTION:
There are over 5 MILLION figs on OFFENSIVE there... I dont know how the heck I can enter that sector and survive... I suppose I could use one of those fancy photon thingies.. .but they only last 4 seconds -- by the time I send it and get out of the menu - it will be OVER before I can even enter the sector... I'm just too slow lol I'd need at least 30 seconds to be able to jump in - kill some fighters - and bail out... then if I do that -- oh... about 200 times - then maybe I could actually get myself into the sector to attack the planet... I can only imagine how strong the shields will be - or the cannon... or how many planetary figs there will be...

SECOND QUESTION:

I kill / capture at least 15 ferrengi ships EVERY DAY and yet more and more keep appearing; how many do they make?

THIRD QUESTION:

So -- is it possible that you could change the photon missile duration to more like 30+ seconds? I dont think the other 2 (non) players would mind...


FOURTH QUESTION: How long will this game last before it is over? I dont quit understand that one... am I trying to get more CASH -- more FIGS -- more space in the universe to call my own? Is there some goal im missing out on here?

Thanks to anyone that clarifies things for me...

Once i've messed around in this game I'll look for a more standard one to play...

Yes you will need some mothing ships, and a few photons...which also means you need cash.

Are you using ANY scripts? There are alot of scripts out there that could help...

They'll usually keep "making" them no matter how many you cap.

Post subject:  Re: Y CITY CONNECTION REBANGS "SUBZERO MANIA" 8/8/09 12 NOON
Thank you very much for the response and all the answers. I have already collected about 15 ferrengi ships to use as fodder for attacking... I'll just wait until I have at least 4 x more than what I see in the sector defending... (24 million fighters is what I need at this calculation...) as I have no experience taking planets - and out of the 20,000 sectors I've only got like 45% explored... Seems every time I try to run the swath scripts to explore it stops because the only other player had some script that puked 1 or 3 mines into every sector of the game... I remember seeing his ship zoom into the stardock like 20 times one night while I was slowly typing away... I couldnt figure out why the guy wasnt responding to me-- now it seems he wasnt even THERE.. he just turned on his BOT to play the game...

I'd love to find a bot that will roam the universe and destroy all his mines - go back to the stardock and buy more mine disruptors and continue... -- or to find a way to get swath to IGNORE mines completely and just plow through them...

I have gotten into using SWATH - its a world of a difference... Good and bad... Good because I get bored of trading all the time -- BAD because I honestly have no clue how to create or install different scripts to do extra things with it... (or the TWX proxy thing...) I know it can do tons of things... there are tutorials all over -- but honestly - I'm NOT a programmer and its all over my head...

So I guess i WONT be playing any Tradewars games against people -as I'll never be able to compete against them and their super scripted selves; not unless theres a ready - made button inside of SWATH that I can simply 'click and use' - but there arent too many of those.

I'll continue to read up on the scripting options - maybe I can figure out how to install and use OTHER peoples home made things - (big maybe) and until then -- I'll just mess around in the games that have like... no people playing in them LOL


Thanks again Mob.

OMG... Why is this happening?:


If I deploy 20,000 fighters in ferrengi space -- at extern they all go POOF.

No one kills them - they just go POOF... no message .. .just gone

So I got smart - I put a PLANET there... to see what happened - and I deployed 200 mines - and 350,000 fighters...

Guess what...

at extern- they all BECAME FERRENGI!!!

So now I had to kill my OWN figs and my OWN mines!

What the heck?
