No sector that is not a "Home Sector" will be permitted to have over 15% NavHaz.
No blockading Federation space, Stardock, or Class 0 ports. Blockades would be described as a sector with more then 1 deployed fighter, or any amount of armid mines, or a planet with an active sector level quasar cannon, or nav haz of over 15%. Blockading is allowed after truce is over.

"Controlled Sector" - A sector that only has 2 connected sectors, one of said connected sectors must be a "Home Sector".
"Home Sector" - A deadend sector that contains one or more planets with citadels on them. This sector may only have 1 sector connected to it.

Home Sectors are exempt from fighter, mine, and quasar restrictions. The only restriction placed on a "Home sector" is Interdictor Generators, these may not be used until truce is over.

You should set extern to the same time as server midnight. So many things happen during extern and at midnight server time. If you dont want to do that please remind people when extern runs.

Here is a list of what happens at extern from the tw-cabal website
Extern: A lot of things happen at Extern, so I thought I would list them here. (see Midnight too) I will put them in order of occurrence later. **There is a lot more to add, I'm still fleshing this out. If you see something I missed, let me know. -T 7/3/02
1) Check for players with different alignments in the same corp. Apply penalties if needed.
2) Fedspace is cleared of Nav Haz.
3) Empty ships in Fedspace are repo'd. (unless locked in tow. see tip #4)
4) Players are towed for Armament Violations. (having more than 100 figs in Fedspace while off-line)
5) Check for too many players in a Fedspace sector. (Random off-line players are towed if the number of allowed off-line players is exceeded in the sector) (not TOTALLY random
6) Reset Tax time.
7) Reset Grimy Trader Curse.
Recover deaths (2 pods).
9) Reset Jettison Collies.
10) Reset Alignment loss for breaking into another corp.
11) Clear busts (if it's the right day. In MBBS mode, it happens here daily)
12) Player Figs and Mines are cleared out of MSL's. Planets with Cits in MSL's are reduced to LV 2 Cits.
13) Planets in overloaded sectors collide. Only 2 planets collide per extern.
14) Destroyed Class 0 and 9 ports rebuilt if the radiation is gone.
15) Nav Hazz clears/reduces
16) Port construction advances
17) Players and Corps timeout. Remaining assets go rogue.

Here is a list of what happens at midnight from the tw-cabal website
Midnight: A lot of things happen at midnight, so I thought I would list them here. (See Extern too)
1) Players that died the previous day are allowed back in. (no pod recovery, that happens at extern)
2) Hold, Fig, and Shield prices change at Class 0 and Class 9 ports
3) Players who log in after Midnight gain one point of Experience and one point of Alignment.
4) Citadel construction advances.
5) Underground wrong passwords resets.

Ive tried to get him to do this 3 times already.. although I didn't list everything out nice and neat like that.

Maybe it will make a difference.

From what most people told me they told me that extern at midnight is too late and they want to be here for it and so on and so on and so on and so on.

If I set it at server midnight that would be 1AM EST, which I'm sure would invoke more complaining.

I changed most of the settings that Legion suggested I changed and asked him to get back to me. He never did. I don't know if its because he just enjoys to tell people when he thinks they're doing something wrong or he is just never satisified. Who knows.

Anyway, next bangs I will change extern to server midnight. It will incite a east coast cryfest, but I'm sure they'll learn how to deal with it.

Thanks, better to stay up late than to have extern and midnight at different times. Ask Sage what he did to set his server to have extern and midnight at the same time (at 11pmEST)

actually if players and sysop want the extern to be where everyone can be there ..

set local computer time to midnight when your real local time is 8pm or 9pm .. and set twgs to run extern at midnight.

but hope this is a stand alone server , because if you use it .. it may make your life a living hell .. lol

but this is how some sysops set it up , so game shows midnight and his real time is west coast time.

just a thought.

But since I'm international .. I look at server time and base that to my time to figure when to
be ready for extern.
So you can see , if you want it to be conveniant for others .. your not helping me or those in europe either .. lol

If the players want to be there for extern .. they will find a way.

I didnt know you told, me, to get back to you..

So you want me to tell you when you are doing something right??

and not say anything when you are doing something wrong?

hmm..

I don't know if that will help anything out.



Like Vid said, rather obvious still, change your computer time. Easy.
Set tern 12 am. Then change computer time to match.. whatever. For example..Like 11pm EST as UTW's.. and most others.

GD,

Game C and E are done. In game C Parabellum disappeared and at this point I have more assets than him and 99% of the grid

lol, one or maybe both of those games were the the ones I was in when the laptop I use wouldn't maintain AC power. I figured it would have been over with a long time ago so I didn't go back. I played as Para Bellum in whichever games it was. The meaning of that alias pretty much fits TW.

We thought it was you, it was your MO. Come in and play, cap and fortify the alien planets , then come back once or twice, kill everyone and leave. lol That was game C, you were in the 2 non truce games. Game E was the rebanged 3 day truce game. No one showed up at the start. I always like playing with you, (now that I have a better understanding of how you can kill me so often) its fun, I spend most the time trying to stay out of your way and the rest scheming how to kill you
