Well, the game is really getting close with 4A, from what I've seen so far. However, the CDTs are back with a vengance for me. How do I get the smart exception tool to post a crash report? Also, the intro movie does something wierd for me. It is a split screen with the bottom on top, and the top on bottom. Minor to me, I just turn off the intro anyway. As before, PIII 933, 64M GForce 2, W2K
The AI can demand that I remove ships or SBs. Why can't I do the same?

Arrrrrgh! Why do we do this to ourselves? How do we get into these choices? Why must we be forced to choose only between Kerry and Bush? And why, after regettably choosing the lesser of two evils, whichever side that is for us, are we so self rightious about our choice? Is it just to console ourselves after making a choice we didn't like? Can't we do better just once? Sorry, just overstressing on all the hyperpolitics this election is ge

Thanks for the reply Frogboy. I am a little disapointed that it won't be around for a while yet, but I'm glad I know when to look for it.
[quote]BAH!An average Storm class can take these (170def SBs (TSs)) out[/quote] I've never had a game go on to the point where the AI is building TS. Nor have I ever built anything tougher than Wraiths. You must be playing Gig Maso or something. I usually play small maps. Several hundred TS in an alien's hands on a small map, well... *shudder*

Hey all, I am really looking forward to PM going live and playing around with the metaverse. The forums seem very active, and if this is reflective of the interest in the game, then it should really be interesting. But I am confused about some of the messages I see posted here. Some folks talk about getting "troll" points or being blacklisted. Does this mean that even though I play the game and post on the forums, someone will be able to j
This thread is a hoot! Metaverse could be reborn if newbies could see.
[quote]Well, fixing the count would be real nice as I stated in CM's old post relating to this, but I have mixed feelings on the score cap. It does prevent people playing maso from trying to milk the system for all it is worth so we don't have players trying to wring every drop out of the game when they know once they reach 60,000 they cannot go for 70K, 80K, or whatever the non-capped limit would be. Afterall, one 60K is as good as another. Now we just have non-maso players trying to milk the s
Any projected time for the metaverse to go live?

Genghis, in Oregon that means your opinion is worth 20+ cents. Good for you!
I had a game where I was ahead by a large margin in all states. Then, for some reason, SC went to my opponent. When I checked, I had 0% awareness, while I had close to or had 100% in all the other states. I sent my canidate there, ran TV ads, bought political consultants, gave speeches... Nothing could raise my awareness above 0. As far as South Carolina was concerned, I just ceased to exist. Happened to me in an earlier build in RI, too. Both g

Polls are fleeting things. As long as Iraq sucks all the oxygen up in the media, the polls will reflect how the people feel we are doing in Iraq. If (and it's a big if) we can disengauge successfully from Iraq by the election, or if it looks like things are going that way, Bush's polls bounce right back up. Does that really tell us anything about the election? I think it's really too early for the polls to matter. If it was mid September, I'd be m
Reply #3 By: Mr_Frog - 5/16/2004 12:06:39 AM I don't think I'm going to vote for either of them. I may vote "None of the above" like I did in 2000, because I don't like *any* of the candidates. If you are going to the write in option anyway, write someone in who has the qualities that you feel a

Well, can't resist throwing my 2 cents in. I'm from Western PA. While I don't know if dittomonkey911 has it right on the Gay Marrage issue specifically, he is quite correct about the generalities. Western PA is Democratic as a hold over from when "everyone" worked in the steel mills or depended on them for their living, and so nearly everyone was pro-unions. But W. PA also has the old immigrant work ethic thing going for it. That makes them social
[quote]I was wiped out again by fundamentalists (took all my planets), but this time I had transports at my worlds. On the turn that the Fundies took my planets I took them back. However, it still made me lose the game. [/quote] I have seen something like this. I had a race that was down to one planet "flip" the planet to me. I was trying to drag the game out, so I gave it back before the end of turn. The game ended anyway. I think it must have to do with when the game checks for end
[quote]I agree, if it is a choice between resources being allocated between GC1 metaverse and GC2 then it should go to the development of GC2.[/quote] I think that the Metaverse, wether for GC, GC2, or PM, is still an important issue. If the resourses are devoted to GC2, then the Metaverse issues need to be addresses at least for GC2.
OK, couple of quick points. Just got 2A and started my first game. The video seems worse than before. I lost almost everything on the map, so I decided to just stay put and try to fundraise and build capital. Big supprise! The ticker said that I was the "President Elect" in week 12! Guess it helps to have the press on your side! I must have already won!
[quote]Scoring has always been total score (adjusted for age)/square root of the games played[/quote] I also thought that it was divided into months first. If this is the case, then I don't think I like any adjustment for age.
The game should, through reward or punishment, move you into some of the other issues. Force you away from the milktoast "Jobs and Envirement" platform. And of course, make it possible to do the same to your opponent...
Oh, and just once, have someone ask me on my stand on "Uncovering the Alien Conspiracy"
Couple more things: -Canadate Creation: As mentioned before, clicking on the bar moves the bar but not the number. However, move the bar to 10, click the back arrow to 9, and the number changes to 9 and adds a point to points available. I was able to use this exploit to build an "all 10" canadate. -Suggestion for Canadate Creation: Use points to pay for starting state. Else, why shouldn't everyone start in NY, CA, or TX?
