Silly mistake on my part. Now corrected.

#1201 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 2:08:48 AM

Thanks IceMole!

I've looked through your spreadsheet and I think it is a godsend! I've wasted time trying to calculate this the hard way and with far less accuracy.

It's intuitive and simple to use. No one should have any problems keying in the dates and scores and the computation date. The spreadsheet does all the complicated month blocking and degrading for you.

You should share this with everyone!

You should share this with everyone!

I hope to. However, I don't have any webspace. Do you suppose this is the sort of thing for the library? Or will I need to find somewhere/someone to host it?

Cooking with Bachelor Kit

Today... tonight... whatever the heck time it is, I have wanton for soup (the gift of a friend from Beijing) and spicy seaweed strips.

I boil some water while posting my stupidity on the GalCiv forum. Once ready, I dump about a dozen wanton in... hmmm... only about eight left... better dump ‘em all in.

I then return to my puter to change my IRC nick to ‘KitCooking’. Back at the boiling pot of wanton, I notice the bottom ones are sticking to the bottom of the pot. It’s freaking teflon! No problem. There’s an easy bachelor solution - complain on the GalCiv forum.

The wanton are translucent so I test one for readiness... mmm!

Hao chi! (translation: Good eatin’!) Carefully dump them into a large bowl (learned that lesson about ‘carefully’ several weeks ago) and grab the bag of spicy seaweed strips.

Now here’s the problem:

1) I want to mix the seaweed in with the wanton, but the bowl is already full.

2) I don’t want to grab another bowl because that would be an extra bowl to clean later (translation: sit in my sink for a week).

3) I’ve never tried wanton with spicy seaweed. If I put any in the bowl and it’s no good, the whole bowl is ruined.

Solution:

1) Mix the seaweed and the contents of it’s spice packets (two spices!) in a mug (easier to ignore in the sink after eating).

2) Put aside my stupidity for a moment and stick a wonton in my mouth followed by some spicy seaweed... mmm!

Hao chi!

3) Put more and more spicy seaweed in the bowl as I eat.

Well that’s about it for... whatever time! Now I can return to posting my stupidity on the GalCiv forum. Bon apetite!

Ray is shooting for 200k? Now, where did I put Staffa's email address...mmm....muhahahahah....

Now that you mention library, I found a Combat Statistics Excel Sheet by pdifolco in the library.

So try submitting it to the library. It would be great if they host it there.

I have wanton noodles for lunch all the time.

#1207 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 2:57:37 AM

Ray is shooting for 200k? Now, where did I put Staffa's email address...mmm....muhahahahah....

Get him back here, Wombat. I would love a re-match with the great Staffa.

If only I really knew, Ray! The man is a shadow...

#1209 by Veteran Primipilus Alexus - 8/14/2003 7:00:34 AM

donations option via paypal

I'd be supportive - unless it's via paypal - I refuse to use them since they "stiffed" a friend of mine.

I don't have any webspace

Let me have a copy, and I'll put a link to it -

I'd put a link for my email in except I cannot make this system do it!!!

Good Morning, folks!

Just got finished sifting through the three pages of posts since last night!

Hey! Post 1212!!!

#1213 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 9:12:42 AM

Morning Theoden!

We had a big crowd in the Halls last night / this morning.

#1214 by Citizen EBZeroMatrix - 8/14/2003 9:19:35 AM

Hey IceMole, would you be able to figure out how many games it would take me to reach 200k?

About needing space to post your stuff drop me a line

Email. I can release it on Friday along with my GCCG on my site.

#1215 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 8/14/2003 9:22:44 AM

Yes, it was a great discussion! I'm impressed with the work everyone is doing in researching the recalc.

Trying to weed through the other threads, as well. It's been a "busy" morning (though my boss would probably disagree!

)

Pontius: Yes, hope we can still talk. I don't think anybody here really wants all of us to stop having fun. That would kind of kill the whole empire thing, wouldn't it?

IceMole: I see a promotion to Veteran for a project like a score calculator!! Please submit it to the Library!

By the way, welcome to Funstr, our newest adventurer!

#1217 by Veteran TheQuack - 8/14/2003 10:41:16 AM

I'd probably be able to keep the spreadsheet on my uni website, once i get it setup with the comics

Send a copy, please, I'll see what I can do.

#1218 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 8/14/2003 2:32:50 PM

Woohoo! The Fellowship only lost the lead for a couple of hours! Good going, guys!

We're back in first!

#1219 by Veteran Captain Jack Sparrow - 8/14/2003 2:44:14 PM

Woohoo! The Fellowship only lost the lead for a couple of hours! Good going, guys

ahem. And you only had it for an hour or two before that. It will be ours again in the end.

#1220 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 8/14/2003 2:46:00 PM

Ahh...the see-saw continues! It seems it's whoever can post their games the fastest! (or recruit the most!)

#1221 by Citizen musicfan55 - 8/14/2003 3:10:25 PM

I just submitted a large, abundant, tight, painful game played as pure good and got a little under 15k. I played this as pure evil a little while back and bascially got the same score so maybe my drooling over trade centers is six of one - a half dozen of the other.

The nice thing about this map is that it is big enough to get all the techs without letting up on the gas or gifting the opponent with a 343% culture base just to prolong the game. The abundant gives lots of planet events to go evil or good (although I really wish there was an option to increase planet events other than colonizing a low PQ planet, getting the event, and destorying the colony). The tight cluster reduces culture bombing a bit so you don't accidently flip opponents culture too early or get flipped yourself. Then mix in the level of difficulty you like but painful works for me. The result is a fun game with little cheese and a decent metaverse score. Since it was large and not huge or gigantic the little strategy map in the upper right hand corner is much easier to read and my computer doesn't chug like it did on gigantic - I could have gotten a snack between turns near the end of my gigantic game. I think I might play large for a while for maximum fun.

Also congrats to FOTR for being in first place at least for the moment. We are seeing more rings pop up in the top 25 so keep submitting games and good luck.

Rick,

Good job!

I find Large to be an okay map, but I still like Huge for not having to worry about a culture victory. I agree you can't see enough in Huge or Gigantic in the mini-map, but I usually zoom when I need to see up close.

Also, the Huge maps have enough 13-14 PQ planets so that you don't have to cheese too much. I just colonise everything in sight and hope I get the events to bump me to Pure Good. With 5% PQ ability pick, plus Soil Enhance and Hab Improv, I can usually make some good new colonies, along with bumping my alignment up.

#1223 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 8/14/2003 7:25:06 PM

Congrats on your Top25 medal, Rick!

H50 was bumped off but he and FriendJosh are just waiting in the wings.

#1224 by Citizen musicfan55 - 8/14/2003 9:59:16 PM

Thanks Ray.

H50, how did that anomalous game happen? That really makes me afraid to use mods. I finally had to put in the library mod that decreases the volume of the Drengin music

. But, I was thinking of trying the Environmentalists on an abundant map except was afraid of an anomalous score.

Josh and H50 will move up soon and it would be nice to see more ring logos on the top 25 board. Although most of us can't play like Ray or Staffa, we can be persistent

. I think I am going to take the evening off and go watch some NFL pre-season. Later . . .

Rick
