I'd say, it's better to plan a match a few days before it's going to start. This way more people can have a chance to take notice of such an event and make plans.

Now, how about this saturday, around noon(gmt)?

Question: What happens when a planet runs out of food?  Does it just raise the possibility of plague infection, or would I start losing units?
Quote from: nova web page
Starvation. All cities and most (but not all) units require food. If you have insufficient food available, those units and cities which don't receive food will begin to starve. Starving units and cities are marked with an exclamation mark (!), and lose health each turn. A starving unit loses 20 health per turn (but regains 12 or 2 depending on whether it's in a city or not). A starving city loses about half its health each turn (but regains 8 ), and will stabilise at about 10-15% health (if the Plague is switched off). With the Plague option switched on, a starving unit or city with health below 25% must make a plague check - it will probably catch the plague and die very quickly.

I was wondering, did you leave plague on when setting up the game, mainiac?
Quote from: mainiac
I'm fairly certain I didn't.  It was a while ago however.


How's your bug doing, mainiac?

Frelock: he did mention that his pop is at 98 now.

As far as I know, kids keep popping out long after you reach the population cap. If i remember correctly, there is a separate entry in the ini regarding max-children-to-rest-of-dorfs percentage.
I think there was a requisite for a road of certain value for (at least some) of nobles to arrive.
And yes, the worldgen events continue to happen as you play. I wonder, if you're the last one of the outposts, where will the King arrive from?
Also, I'm not sure about this, but doesn't the 'deceased' notification dissapear when you bury said stiff?(check if the liasion isn't chilling out in one of your coffins)

Speaking of bugged, I'm having a massive problem with the resource system.  If I have resources on any world, I'm capable of building units on Kish.  But, resources are only deducted if they're on Kish.  This is... slightly unbalanced to say the least.
Whoa, are you serious? Is this how the bug you've mentioned earlier worked?(you would have gotten the food for your engineers from byzantium for free, in the example you've given)
Anyway, has it been like this since the begining? If yes, I could run your first save on my computer and check if all is fine. Just let you know, there's nothing wrong with my game's resource management. Perhaps you've forgotten to run a patch or something?
Try reinstalling the whole stuff and see if it's still bugged(though you've probably done it already).
Still, if it can't be fixed, and you know about this bug, it can be avoided - just don't build stuff when you ain't got enough resources on a planet.
And be sure to tell us if you've exploited this to your advantage during our game.

Maybe we could advertise on a female gaming website forum.  Anyone know of one that would allow gaming announcements?
"Female players needed for bearing children. Long list of male players awaiting conception. We accept everybody, as long as you've got ovaries."

This is unsettling. I'm certainly spending too much time thinking about EOFS. This might mean something. Something psychological... like I'm repressing my megalomaniacal ambitions or maybe have a subconcoius desire to dominate people. Order them around and BOMB their cities from the orbit! ...
Erm, maybe I'll just get myself a book or something.

I know. But it's sunday now. I'm constantly amazed how some people can consider having a job or social life more important than EOFS.

Ugh, Boksi! Do not let you real-world-life get in a way of the sacred PBEM duties any longer! Hrrrr... I fell an obsessive-compulsive urge to do a turn... it's been four days already. Seriously, you need to stay in more.

Damn, I knew Pandemonium wasn't the best place to go.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
where is an easy(easier than pandemonium) place to find runes of Zot?
I always get one from the Snake Pit and one from the Vaults. Never could find another one.

in Dungeon Crawl, a deck of cards is the same as a wand of random effects, only unrechargable, with a limited list of spells(e.g. only defensive or offensive) and a different icon.
