[SPOILER]Ruff plays PBEM - who knew?

[Serdoa]

My detailed, turn by turn reports will be going up on my web site on a super duper secret location. I will not be giving out the web address and no one here will either ... will they? How will you find it? Here is the address to the index page ...

ruffhi.atspace.com/pbem45v-XXX-index

BUT ... you have to replace the XXX with a piece of fruit. That is it - easy as pie - you just need to think a very little bit (it shouldn't hurt too much).

Just for those who had issues getting to the page: You have to add .html at the end as well.

I probably should have tested it myself. I still think that browsers automatically add that stuff. I've edited my post about the magic index page above - thx for the tip Serdoa.

They don't. Some automatically try with the "www" server name in the lookup phase, but any automatic changes of the path in the URL are made by the server as re-directs, eg adding a trailing / or changing out a .htm to a .html

finally got a new turn played. And I remembered to rename that scout.

Minor change in direction. Also simmed out first 30 turns.

PBEM45v - Banana Man - Review: T0-T10

The first turn started off with me moving off the plains hill and settling for the fish. I initially started a workboat and then reset that to a worker realizing that I should get my forest chopping going as soon as I can - at the end of T10, the worker is at 35/60 hammers and there are another 5 turns remaining until my worker is finished (as per my sim of the first 30 turns).

Time to start thinking of my worker names.

Tech was Bronze Working and at the end of T10, I have 2 turns of research remaining.

My scout ('Kongor 3' - see the report for T3 for background regarding his name) went North West and then around my starting island in an anti-clockwise direction. According to initial map settings, we are meant to have land connections. The only land connect that I can have is directly to my North. My scout should be revealing that territory in the next few turns.

Here is an overview of my island.



There were three (3) score increases (everyone except me and Scooter) of 6 points, no soldier point changes so the techs were all 'peaceful' (fishing, agriculture, etc). I would say that Scooter and I are researching Bronze Working - while he started 1 turn later than I did, I expect his tech rate to be higher than mine as I am working a forested plains hill - we should see in the next two (2) turns.

Ruff, your hidden site appears to be serving a trojan. Microsoft security caught it as Trojan:JS/BlacoleRef.W. Please look into this, I'm not going to risk hitting that site while covering for you.

[Ruff_Hi]

Really - I am hosted at atspace.com. Did they mention a particular file or something?

[T-hawk]

I don't have a filename - MS security caught it only in the browser cache folder. I'm not inclined to continue experimenting on my work machine. I do see that that page is including lots of external stuff - mistbinder.org and your counter javascript - so it could be from one of those and not your own host.

[Ruff_Hi]

I've knocked together an estimate / guesstimate of what I think part of the map looks like based on what I have seen to-date. I've also included a guess of where people are (scooter turned up to my right, everyone else turned up at the 'center' of the map at roughly the same time, turn order, etc).
