[Tech Thread] PBEM45 Greens

I don't think it works. I believe mails go through and tracker gets updated only if the mail comes from recognized account. Better to just use Sareln's mail until its fixed.

[Fintourist]

Sent the save, maybe you can BaII contact Sian about the tracker and then let us know when it's working. I'm too lazy.....

[Sareln]

I'm still only getting the direct e-mail from BaII.

[BaII]

I'm suppose to send the save to the tracker right? Is it just that?

[Sareln]

If you send it to rbpbem45g at gmail, then I would get it delivered from there, but right now I'm getting only the one sent directly to me. I'll let you know when I get both e-mails, because that will mean the tracker is up and running.

[BaII]

mhm, does anyone know how to work the tracker? Also sareln do you want to get on chat on google to solve this?

[Sareln]

I don't know anything about the technical implementation behind the tracker... sorry.

[BaII]

blah I can always use your actual email, but hopefully novice will come and help solve this issue.

Also one more thing, it is not clear if it is possible to use spies or not since it only says spies?

[Sareln]

IIRC we're using the Vet's game settings, so no spies.

I think this was the final set of rules: (from post sixtysomething-

Here is a comprehensive list of all the game settings and rules I could derive from the vets' tech thread (based on the list at the start of that thread by regoarrarr):

Map
* Snakey archipelago similar to pbem17 (but not duplicate of)
* Make naval strategy as important as land strategy
* Enough land that Astronomy is not the One Right Choice
* Land connection between all starting capitals
* Map size - Small
* World wrap - Toroid
* Difficulty - Prince

Diplomacy
* AI Diplo - among other things, this includes no renaming units, no typing in the chat or trade screen, and no using cities / resources to try and spell things

Other Bans & Settings
* No Nukes
* No War Elephants
* No Spies
* No Huts
* No Events
* Played on BtS
* No Barbs
* No tech trading
* Blockades only with ships that have strength > 8 and movement > 4. (I'm assuming that means no frigates)
* No wonder bans (all wonders allowed)
* No corporations
* Everyone starts with a scout, not a warrior
