The Good news is with GalCic2 the metaverse is apparently going to be completly re-written...

Unfortunately, probably just like GC II game is rewritten - using code from GC I. I suspect that a lot of code from the Metaverse as we know it will be incorporated - which means a lot of the faults and irritations will probably get included. I would love to see a big change, but I don't see them putting a lot of man power into the Meta II.

JT Qwerk, I was repeating what you said in a different way because it seems they did not understand your message.

Passingbye, I would agree with you if it were not Stardock. This is the only company I have seen since my first began playing began games back in 1979. Most companies pretend to listen and never do. Look at the civ series, that game is a perfect example of company not listening to community.

I will just make a comment that an alternate metaverse is coming very soon. Thats all I can say for the moment.

Better said 80 for me and 178 for him. After our lasts submissions. Now is going to be tough for me to move about 80 without playing masso, so I think I reach the top of my possibilities. From now on will be playing just for fun.

#1360 by Citizen Krazyhorse - 2/17/2005 9:49:47 PM

The secret is the newly discovered sacred grass-II with chemical-hallucigoneteics capabilities that can be used on the ion-magnesium-II warp/Alpha engines. Whooooooaaaahooooooooooooooo!!! what a rush using this slip stream interfaces!!!

#1361 by Citizen Krazyhorse - 2/17/2005 9:51:33 PM

#1363 by Citizen Krazyhorse - 2/18/2005 12:34:49 AM

I think I have cracked the code on how to win tough/crippling games, so I will helping our empire to move up a little bit faster.

#1364 by Veteran Evil Roy - 2/18/2005 1:00:17 AM

Time to reload the fuel deposits of the ship, couple of grams of metalsulfitolbalsimatic-KLJ/90X..RTV23 and we shall engage the enemy once more (this split personality issue is driving me nuts)

I'll make it.

#1367 by Citizen Wild Wombat - 2/20/2005 11:58:10 PM

Guys, I need to ask a question re this practice of starting up another player under your GalCiv account. I'm a totalgaming.net customer and like JT, only have ever had one player. If I leave Special Forces, the empire ceases to be (as I'm the emperor), which I dont want to do for historical reasons even though we are essentially all retired.

I guess I'd really like to start up an alias and participate elsewhere for fun - so what are the issues?

1. How (technically) do you actually do this?

2. Does it stuff up your old players score?

3. Is it acceptable conduct to the gaming group?

Any advice or comments would be helpful!

#1368 by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 2/21/2005 1:46:29 AM

Hi Wombat

I learned the hard way that you don't need to close the empire down to leave it... apparently if you have senators then one of them will automagically be made emperor when you leave the empire.... simply make sure that you have an another player in as a senator... then delete yourself from senator and then again as a player... your old empire will remain with a new emperor (maqke sure that the one you want to be emperor is at the top of your senator list) then you can join another empire

I too am always scared of starting up another player as i too don't know the correct steps and don't want to loose my existing games.. and want to keep both players active

and yes the other thing stopping me is that i reguard it as cheating cause in the Agreemewnt you agreeto setates one player per licence... I know that ppl have multiple players for what ever reasons.. but thats cheating in my mind so i'm not even really tempted to do it... even though i have thought about it

so i'd like to see howe to do it too... jusat out of interests sake

#1369 by Citizen Wild Wombat - 2/21/2005 2:30:30 AM

Ahoy Cap'n

I know what you mean about the "one player per licence" thing...I suppose, however, that you still are only "one player" while doing all this - if you split your GalCiv gaming among five different aliases, you're splitting your Metaverse score five ways (and thus disadvantaging yourself, in a sense) and making it harder to reach the top, if that's your goal. My issues are really sentimental - I'd still like to see the Wombat under SpecFor, it's just no real point if NONE of the others in the Empire are active but I would like to leave the SpecFor points there as a historical record, so to speak.

As "one player" with 2, 3 or 5 aliases, you've still paid your money to access GalCiv and the Metaverse, I guess....although I'd really like to hear the community's view...

#1370 by Diplomat Peace Phoenix - 2/21/2005 3:39:52 AM

if you split your GalCiv gaming among five different aliases, you're splitting your Metaverse score five ways (and thus disadvantaging yourself, in a sense) and making it harder to reach the top

Well, not really, due to the way metaverse calculations is done: there is a square root of the number of games in the formula. So if you play 2n games, you will score in total more points hfor registering n games under 2 players than 2n games under the same player.

For the record, Passing Bye and Weyrleader are the same person. They are currently ranking respectively 5 and 6. So it isn't so hard to reach the top with splitting personnality. Especially after the metaverse wide recalc.

Now, reaching rank 1 is another thing.

Stardock has said it is ok to have multiple players per license. For example, you can play, your kid can play, your alias can play. You just need a second email address to register with your SN and set up your nickname and you have an alias player. When you finish a game, you ned to choose who gets credit for playing it by selecting the correct nickname on a drop down menu (system was built with this in mind).

#1372 by Citizen Cetane - 2/21/2005 12:02:27 PM

1. Register a new player
2. Enter new player name(alias)
3. enter new email address
4. enter SN for game
5. when you get the submit screen at the end of the game, choose the alias and associated e-mail address that you want to submitt to.

The game was designed with this function in mind. You cna only submitt a played game once. It is up to you as to who gets the credit. As to multiple identies, check out Waldorf's thread on the main forum.

Hey guys, it is not my fault that I have split personality

#1374 by Citizen Moser_Alchemist - 2/22/2005 1:55:07 AM

Hey, you guys slow down!! You are outpacing the Aldarian Ale Transports.
