I'm a script writer (heck, I'm writing my own script-oriented helper) but I'm also totally opposed to reactive scripts. They are cheap and dirty and I don't respect players who use them.

 Re: Crunchers Cabin fever..
I can see both sides of this. When I'm in a game, I am going to take advantage of everything that I've been given. If that is 1K turns, great. If only 250, great too. Get what I can and then sit at dock running a foton script. 1K or 250, they won't have any left if they aren't cautious.

 Re: Crunchers Cabin fever..
In a tournament style game, if you intend to play seriously then you must be on at game open and rush to SD.
That elliminates the first SD block.
Because there was some mishap with the timing on the server, if all parties are willing, I could very well rebang and restart this from the beginning next weekend.
If you have R/L commitments that prevent you from entering at the posted start time, let me know, and I'll adjust to a time that's more suitable for players in all North American time zones.

Well im not sure why you are rebanging it...I came to play Friday night ..no one else did... If you rebang it, it becomes just another game and not a tourney... Everyone knew when it started .... but since Mongoose is whining you're going to rebang it ?... you can rebang it...I wont be there...I have another tourney to play...I only play one at a time... Ill just consider myself the Champion of the first Cabin Fever tourney ! ...lol ...Put -=orion=- on the trophy..... Actually don't put Mongoose on it ! and call it a tourney...

Ah, but this is not a tourney, just a game in tourney mode. LOL I don't have any fancy web site, or fancy death limit scripts. No rules outside of my normal rules. My offer to rebang had nothing really to do with player whinning than it did with server/game time snafoo. If the reason why someone didn't get a good start, or could not get a run at extern was because my server clock was off, then that's why I offered to reset. Sorry, no trophey's or fancy banners... and no reset. Have fun!

 Re: Crunchers Cabin fever..
lol, Well i DID cby there and after reading some of the site owners posts, I no longer have an interest in playing there, but good luck with the type of games you want to "keep alive", and that isn't sarcasm... i really mean that. I'm a script type person, and not because of the scripting arguments that have been voiced, its because I happen to be a "latest Technology" driven type of person. Thats just "MY" personal choice on the "ScriptWARS" talk that I've read about. And I'm a person that started playing in the early 90's, BEFORE the "Heavy scripts" I remember being "amazed" by MACRO's, lol!
I also believe that the GAME (which we ALL obviously love) has enough room for ALL types of play and its really simple to me.. if you wanna use scripts, play in those types of games against those types of players that like to use them, and if you don't then find a server that hosts the type of game that DON'T use scripts with LIKEMINDED players.... simple and SOLVED!

 Re: Crunchers Cabin fever..
Exactly, there are plenty of games for players who enjoy high turn script driven games. Because of this game, and learning how to write a few simple Zoc scripts, and because of what I'm seeing as a lot of frustrating, time wasting software conflicts in general business apps, I'm back in college now earn a degree in computer programming. So, we'll see if I have any skills in that area. If nothing else, I'm having fun learning, and my instructors are getting a kick out of this old woman in class with all these young guys, and I'm holding my own! Getting pretty good grades so far.
