Having read the forum and heard of Renegade's tactic. I believe it's cheating. I also believe Renegade didn't know it at the time and that is a mitigating circumstance. Though he did indeed know hw was getting around an anomoly tag which he knew or should have known was a no no.
There is a bunch of confusion as to what is allowed when using the Quasi-approved modding program known as Galciv Writer and I think they should be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in this case and let him back in minus the games in question. IF IT IS INDEED PROVEN THAT CAUSED THE TAGS.

From here on in, that isn't allowed in this empire. It's cheating.
Ok the boss is now away. Have fun everyone.

Ok the boss is now away. Have fun everyone.

But the mice will play if the cat is away, and maybe not in the manner the cat intended.

Don't mind me sneaking around. It has just been a while since I checked in to the port.

#2853 by Citizen Jackey Jackey - 6/26/2004 6:30:12 PM

#2854 by Citizen Hegetaga - 6/27/2004 4:31:43 AM

Thanks
Thats mostly fixed now.. just have to reload all my programs on the D drive again... and wait for AP in the mail.
and then!!!
Arggghh!!! Hegetaga be back!

#2855 by Citizen Jackey Jackey - 6/27/2004 5:54:02 AM

Have they mailed them yet?

I would hate to go through another 20Meg download on dial up. (no broadband where I am

)

I got mine a few days ago, so AP CDs are "in the mail". Unless, of course, they are being delivered by pirate ship, in which case, bend over and kiss you a** good bye

*buys another round*

#2858 by Citizen Jackey Jackey - 6/28/2004 2:19:28 AM

Ahh, that where the Captain is, selling our bootlegged AP copies.

#2859 by Citizen Hegetaga - 6/28/2004 12:35:46 PM

AP has arrived.. time to jump back into the fray!

Have at it, matey! The two new races are always nice for any pirate. More aliens to exploit and/or exterminate. Though I think we need to change the sign a bit on Captain Jack's Bar and Grilled Aliens to reflect a few billion extra aliens served since AP came out. The expanded menu is nice, but keeping seven varieties of fresh alien in stock is a little bit more of a challenge.

#2861 by Citizen Hegetaga - 6/28/2004 3:03:44 PM

a little bit more of a challenge.

a little? Those 'special' brothels of ours have to get new slogans.... instead of Have a threesome/foursome/twosome/ up to like 6 with Captain Jack sparrow we have to have Have a 100some with Captain Jack Sparrow, the new and improved love machine Somehow they will fall for it...

#2862 by Citizen Hegetaga - 6/28/2004 6:59:22 PM

I must be out of shape... that game felt much harder than normal... of course the stupid congress outlawing terror stars made it a bit more difficult... goodby united planets..

#2863 by Citizen Jackey Jackey - 6/29/2004 6:42:33 AM

Have you played a game with out the United Planets?

From memory the minors wont trade with you either.

#2864 by Citizen Hegetaga - 6/29/2004 11:20:42 AM

Yea. Withouth UP there is no trade, a self sufficient economy.
It was a bit tougher wihtout all the trade money.. and my planets kept defecting to the I-League.. but in the end all the aliens die.
Of course that game gave me the second wierd thing..
the first was a Yor ship under my control a while back.. this time it was a battle hammer/axe whatever under the control of the space sharks.

#2865 by Veteran Gerakken - 6/29/2004 2:35:35 PM

Luckily, I have never had to resort to using a terror star for its most lethal purpose. I rarely build them, and then it is for being a mobile party palace.

Don't think I could do a game with absolutely zero trade. Sure, I have been at war with three or four major races before and had limited trade because of it, but some freighters always got through to the other majors and any minors left.

#2866 by Citizen Hegetaga - 6/29/2004 8:50:20 PM

Its harder without trade.. my income dropped so much. But I was so close to victory it was worth it. I find it hard to play a game without a terror star. Mass murder of them is easier than sacrificing my troops... most of the time.

#2867 by Citizen Jackey Jackey - 6/30/2004 6:43:01 AM

Can you rejoin the UP? When I quit I never saw an option to rejoin.

Then my economy collapsed and my people were enslaved.

#2868 by Citizen NewfyScotian - 6/30/2004 7:24:54 AM

Can you rejoin the UP? When I quit I never saw an option to rejoin.

No, you can't rejoin. That is unfortunate. perhaps there should be a penalty imposed to rejoin. I quit the UP once but I was close to winning the game and it did not affect the outcome.

The pain was when you quit, no trade. If your empire is relying on trade quitting the UP is not a good idea.

#2869 by Veteran Captain Jack Sparrow - 7/1/2004 9:48:52 AM

The Captain comes back to find wine and beer bottles all over the place. He picks one up.

Oh did I give you guys the keys to the Andre and Miller warehouses? Oh my mistake, I meant to give you the Dom Parignon keys. Really. I did.

#2870 by Veteran Captain Jack Sparrow - 7/1/2004 9:56:06 AM

I'll see if I can get a game in tomorrow before the relatives all come over for the big Independence Day celebration.

The real Independence day is of course July 2. That's when it was signed and sent. But leave it to the politicians to want to vote in something they already approved and sent and make it "official." Sort of like our modern Congress approving the gulf war after it already started.

#2871 by Veteran Gerakken - 7/1/2004 11:57:28 AM

The real Independence day is of course July 2.

No worries, we Americans have got it covered! At least some of my neighbors do. Been firing off fireworks since Monday night. Nothing like a week or so long celebration to cover one's bases, I guess.

Hmmm. Looks like I might be a little scarce myself because of the holiday weekend. Plus, got to make some more of those nasty medical trips next week as well, so I will be absent for a few days starting Saturday.

#2872 by Citizen Weyrleader - 7/1/2004 12:19:47 PM

Hope all goes well. We will miss your stealth entrance and exits in the threads.

#2873 by Veteran Grand_Admiral_Thrawn - 7/1/2004 12:42:48 PM

Hope everything goes well for you Gerakken.

#2874 by Citizen Jackey Jackey - 7/2/2004 7:24:13 AM

My AP copy arrived in the mail yesterday. Only a week after the US copies arrived, not bad
