Let's Multiplay Alpha Centauri - Binary Dawn - Game 5

Gentlemen, ITZ has come and the end is nigh, but turn... TURN never changes. After Absinthe secured ultimate victory in our previous game it is high time for another round of prestigious SMAC PBEM. As before we are using Merc's Binary Dawn mod which we continiously reshape to better suit our monocled preferences. We have gathered our party and now have a full seven-man game with oldbonebrown and TROYTRON (no relation to Infinitron I hope!) manning up to join the KUMITE! Without further jiggabagook:

Changelog

Bunker cost doubled
Marine detachment removed
Sparta has POLICE immunity
Raise/lower terrain moved to Ecological Engineering
Sea boreholes removed
Restored majority of the vanilla tech names and descriptions
Restored future societies to vanilla names
Hologram Theatre upkeep reduced from 3 to 2
Mining platforms give an extra mineral
Havoc Rocket moved down to Nonlinear Mathematics
Conventional Missile moved to Long Range Missiles

PBEM Rules

1. Be a bro.
2. Do not be faget.
3. Do not reload the save and move units differently.
4. Do not conduct diplomacy with players before meeting them in-game.
5. Do not use colony pods to increase a base beyond its maximum population limit.
6. Do not make social engineering changes and then change back in the same turn.
7. Do not reverse-engineer clean reactors from clean scout patrols. Haraambe!
8. Do not RETIRE default designs in the workshop as it will delete units for other players.
9. Do not Allahu Akbar units (i.e. use self-destruct to wipe out enemy units).

Who the fuck is that chinky lass?

 

[Storyfag]

The TURN must flow...

 

[Crispy]

Sorry, but this isn't a thread suitable for GD. Moving to General Gaming.

 

[jackofshadows]

Who the fuck is that chinky lass?

It's a pity that seems you'll never know it...

 

[Crispy]

Oops, I should have known to move this to the Playground instead of just GG.

Thanks, friendly Codex moderator!

 

[TROYTRON]

We can always use more thots in these threads.

 

[Absinthe]

Sorry, but this isn't a thread suitable for GD. Moving to General Gaming.

You do realize you are the reason why Kalin can no longer post in the Codex Playground, right?

 

[Crispy]

Okay, this thread has been moved back here to GD, thanks to Infinitron.

 

[Kalin]

Interestingly Crispy's pathetic shit posts in this now despoiled thread constituted some 20% of his total posts in Playground.

Joined in 2008, barely stepped foot in the place. Maybe it's time he LPs Star Stable - assuming he isn't permabanned for being a paedo.

 

[Crispy]

Sheesh! There's just no pleasing some people!

 

[Kalin]

Oh there is, you'll see.

 

[Storyfag]

Oh there is, you'll see.

I eagerly await the new Peackeeping agitprop focusing on Crispy bemoaning the fact that Little Hive Girl prefers Yang

 

[GrafvonMoltke]

Kalin’s gonna lose

 

[Absinthe]

Okay, this thread has been moved back here to GD, thanks to Infinitron.

Just so you guys know, TROYTRON can't post in GD yet, so we've still got a player who can't post in thread.

Sheesh! There's just no pleasing some people!

There's a pretty fucking simple way of pleasing us. Move this thread to Playground where it belongs and remove the ridiculous restrictions on Kalin. That's the way it normally should be.

 

[Crispy]

Or you could persuade TROYTRON to become a Patron.

I have never played Alpha Centauri or Arcanum.

I have never played Alpha Centauri or Arcanum.

Get to it.

 

[Khor1255]

My son downloads games all the time. Maybe I can get them that way? I looked for Nocturne (not a great game but cool atmosphere for the day) and could not find it yesterday.

 

[hello friend]

Kalin who is that woman

 

[Kalin]

That's classified information until DU sets my people FREE and I'm made Shoutbox mod.

 

[hello friend]

As of today, I stand with Kalin

Yes. You can find them on GOG or Steam.

Planetfall

Behind us we leave the ruins of a world now covered by darkness, in the hands of arrogant men grasping endlessly in blindness.
When the spark of divinity had seemed lost to the hearts of men, a light appeared. Chiron.
We set out into the great ocean of stars and put our lives into the hands of He who walked on water to see us safe. No journey too hard, no distance too great.
But it was not the crushing waves of the great unknown that threatened to topple our vessel, but the serpent which since the beginning hid itself among us.
We the faithful must never lose our vigilance. We are not alone on this new earth, we brought the evil one down with us in our hearts, and once more arrogant men grasp without understanding.
Our Lord has granted our wish for another chance to live in His Light, and we will accept his gift with all of our hearts.
We are willing to do thy bidding, willing to defend what is true, willing to crush the serpent beneath our heel.

On the shores Chiron we build a great House Upon a Hill - New Jerusalem

Light of us all.
