Coming up: Wolfpack Common Fall Fever! Watch this space for the
announcement.

Remember to change your country name *before* breaking sanctuary!
> Announcement from POGO, (#0) dated Thu Aug 29 18:26:06 2013
I'm about to fall off the net for a couple of days, and won't be able
to hear your prayers. Try not to break things too badly until I'm
back.
> Announcement from Yuntz, (#3) dated Tue Sep 3 18:14:48 2013
Don't mess with mike Yuntz of Wirikidor, he's got a MK-38!!!
> Announcement from Paranoid, (#1) dated Wed Sep 4 21:45:08 2013
You can see them, but they are out there
Trust me.
Crappy-assed little islands just out of view.
No gold. No iron. And not even enough oil to
drive that little gay Prius from St. Paul to Minneapolis.
Trust me.
Those islands are not worth investing the resources
needed to get there. Better spent on guns, shells, and forts.
Trust me.
You don't really want those islands anyway.
they are just busy work and not worth the time.
Trust me.
I'm Paranoid.
> Announcement from Yuntz, (#3) dated Thu Sep 5 06:12:34 2013
Hey, thanks for the good advice.
Any idea why are the islands there then?
Seems worthless to me.
> Announcement from Paranoid, (#1) dated Thu Sep 5 16:33:21 2013
The islands are there to make my life miserable.
Trust me.
Just ignore them I will be along sooner or later
to inventory and bar code each one of them
Trust me.
I'm Paranoid
-
Oh, and MK-38 or whatever your name is.
Don't think you are fooling me with that
name change. I see right through your
your grand plan. Yes, right through it.
> Announcement from Yuntz, (#3) dated Fri Sep 6 11:10:17 2013
Sounds good to me. Seems you know where
all the islands are anyway.
I'll get the carpets cleaned.
> Announcement from Paranoid, (#1) dated Sat Sep 7 23:16:07 2013
One sector islands are put n this game
to make me misserable.
Trust me.
And on top of that they have mil in them
The concept of 1 sector islands causes me
to go through my meds even faster
Trust me.
And the two sector islands are almost as bad
Trust me.
I'm Paranoid
> Announcement from Hanuman, (#10) dated Mon Sep 9 06:47:31 2013
A player reported somewhat sub-optimal initial setup of his island,
and inquired whether it's the same for everyone.
The common tool to create random worlds is called fairland. It
creates a number of start islands. Each of them consists of the exact
same sectors. However, the sectors are arranged in different ways.
Every sector has an "elevation". We start with the highest sector,
then add sectors one by one in decreasing elevation order. Resources
depend on elevation. That way, the spread of resources in start
islands follows a common pattern.
My world setup also follows sector elevation, because that's the
easiest way to put resource-extracting sectors on the appropriate
resource, and other sectors away from them. Leaves the spatial
placement of sectors to chance. Most noticable for harbors and radar
stations.
> Announcement from Paranoid, (#1) dated Mon Sep 9 11:30:34 2013
In the interest of equality of island layout/setup,
wouldn't it be more fair if we made every sector
100 gold/100 oil/100 min/100 uran?
I'd be okay of you screw us on the fert.
Honest, we wouldn't complain then.
> Announcement from Yuntz, (#3) dated Mon Sep 9 11:41:30 2013
I kind of like the idea of gold in the sea.
You know...hunt for treasure!!!
> Announcement from Paranoid, (#1) dated Mon Sep 9 11:47:54 2013
We would need a gold dredge ship then. Of course you have to
have uws as part of the crew because the poor slob running
the inlet tube underwater is always killed so
the rest of the crew can split his share.
And another complaint from another player - Would it kill you
to put the islands close enough so we could bridge
to them? Hmmm?
I'm full of good ideas.
Trust me.
I'm Paranoid
> Announcement from Yuntz, (#3) dated Mon Sep 9 11:50:08 2013
Alternatively, enable BRIDGE_TOWERS so that we can
build reallllllly long bridges!
> Announcement from Paranoid, (#1) dated Wed Sep 11 12:01:33 2013
Sorry, but I still like doing "toggle beep off".
Maybe he feels it somehow....
> Announcement from Paranoid, (#1) dated Thu Sep 12 11:47:28 2013
Okay, it is clear from the gun/ammo count in the power chart that most of
you are living in Texas and I am stuck in Maryland (If you can dream it, we
can Tax it!)
> Announcement from Yuntz, (#3) dated Thu Sep 12 11:49:42 2013
Except for Wirikidor...seems they tax the gunpowder there as well!!
> Announcement from Yuntz, (#3) dated Fri Sep 13 11:47:34 2013
MK-38 CCC has been Yuntanized.
Any transgressions on MK-38 CCC will now be deemed
as an aggression on us and dealt with accordingly.
> Announcement from Paranoid, (#1) dated Fri Sep 13 11:58:46 2013

> Announcement from Wirikidor, (#4) dated Sun Sep 15 00:35:21 2013
gg
thanks for the game
> Announcement from Wirikidor, (#4) dated Sun Sep 15 14:50:26 2013
Where do I get a server version of empire...I obviously need to figure out land units
Good job Paranoid.
Back in the day when land units didnt exist the game took much long but also was much harder.
> Announcement from Paranoid, (#1) dated Sun Sep 15 14:57:40 2013
Thanks Wirikidor - yeah I played a bit before units. And normally, in the non-heavy setup, land units can go even further - they are slower here and can't be carried by as wide variety of ships. I did find the blitzes are a key way to get more up-to-speed. And of course the info pages . . . .
> Announcement from Heathens, (#8) dated Sun Sep 15 23:06:36 2013
As a suggestion for future games -
put the entire island in sanctuary so proximity to an unbroken sanctuary
is not a game changing factor.
I've had fun but wont be on seriously like since I got on here a few days late.
> Announcement from Hanuman, (#10) dated Wed Sep 18 04:53:15 2013
Wirikidor asked for server code.
This server runs bog standard code, which you can download via
<http://www.wolfpackempire.com/server.html>. The only game-specific
addition is the two info pages Common-Fever and Hvy-Fever. If you
need pre-compiled server binaries, let me know, and I'll see what can
be done.
Common Fevers use standard rules, and there's nothing particularly
interesting in their configuration and setup.
Hvy Fevers use simplified Hvy Metal rules with a shotgun start. We
haven't gotten around to publishing the config files implementing the
rules in their proper place, so you still have to get them from the
last Hvy Plastic game:
http://www.pond.sub.org/~armbru/empire/hvy-plastic-3/index.html#config
Files econfig (in part) and *.config apply.
If you have further questions you don't want to dicsuss in game
announcements, feel free to contact <wolf...@wolfpackempire.com>.

All Fever games have entire start islands in sanctuary. Did anything

I probably wont do the 2 month game but ill probably be back for the 1 monther
Thank you much for hosting and congrats Yuntz :)
I'll be on and off till the end ...
> Announcement from Paranoid, (#1) dated Thu Sep 26 01:34:47 2013
What? Not in for the 2-monther - what fun is that? :/
But yes, those blitzes can be fun. . . .

Paranoid capital in sight...
wait for it
> Announcement from Yuntz, (#3) dated Thu Sep 26 12:41:01 2013
There we go...done!
Woof! Woof!
> Announcement from Paranoid, (#1) dated Sat Sep 28 05:04:37 2013
Congrats, Yuntz - well-done and you are the winner! Unfortunately I had to take a business trip this week which is why there wasn't as much activity, however I think you had it anyway.
> Announcement from Yuntz, (#3) dated Sat Sep 28 06:36:23 2013
Now that's settled! Guess I won't be using the nukes after all!
Stats:
Income was $200K per turn before taking Paranoid's banks/capital.
Tech: 187.68
Main bank has 1965 bars.
MAK 38 had only 1100 bars when I took his over.
MAK and mike hadn't bothered putting civs on the mountain,
so were only making like 3-4 nuggets a turn.
Good game, nonetheless, Paranoid.
