Wed, 01/17/2007 - 19:28 — maho-admin
  1. Anyone can join, by clicking sign me button in appropriate game submission topic,
  2. Game starts when there's enough players
  3. Every player must have account created at longturn.org
  4. IM account on Jabber is good to have (GoogleTalk is jabber)
  5. Every player should make their moves every turn.
  6. If player don't want to play anymore, should give info about it to administrator or to group (see contact).
  7. If players is idle for 10 turns or more, or 3 turns after he game is started or player is added to game, he might be removed.
  8. If player can't play few turns due to some circumstances, he should inform other players about it so he would not be removed from the game.
  9. Create a poll, if you want changes in settings, ruleset or rules of the game. Voting duration should be 1 week.

  10. Who win the game:
    1. The only successful outcome of a team game is for one winning team; either by
      • militarily defeating all other teams;
      • arriving in the first spaceship;
      • for all opposing live teams to have surrendered (if all live players agree to it).
    2. The only outcome of a no-alliances game is 1 winning player. either by
      • militarily defeating all other players;
      • arriving in the first spaceship;
      • for all opposing live players to have surrendered.
      • if an end date has been set then on reaching that end date the winner will be determined using a method agreed before the game starts.
    3. In all other games, victory can be achieved by:
      • Player arriving in the first spaceship. This player can decide to share the victory with other players (i.e. those who helped him win).
      • At most X live player(s). These players must agree to share the victory and all other live players must resign. The number X is called max_winners, is equal to infinity by default and can be changed by a pre-game poll.

  11. (Special rule for LTeX):every new player submission can be voted by existing players.
  12. when team game start time arrives, and teams are still incomplete, administrator will remove players who make team conflicts or are not members of any team, in following order:
    1. players which are without team,
    2. those players, removal of which will make 2 or more teams conflict resolved (conflicting players).
    3. if there is more than one conflicting player for given conflict - administrator has right to choose which one will be removed.
    4. if (b) won't elimitnate all conflicts - remaining players which are member of conflicting teams.
  13. list of players mentioned in previous point will be sent as a comment to game node, day before removal.
  14. game start date will be announced in one week advance or sooner.
  15. In a team game, all members of the team can delegate to any other member of the team. But delegating to a member of another team is forbidden.
  16. Delegation should be allowed only when really away reason occured, should be removed right after away person is no longer away, and should not be repeated more often than once a week
  17. Passwords are secret. Player cannot give his password to anyone else. Every player who gives his password to someone, just as player which use that password to login to game/site - will be removed from related game. They both (or one of them) can be removed from all games or/and site, temporarily or permanently.
  18. There should be no delegation at all to active players in game without diplomacy . Only an outsider or RIP player can cover for you while you are away.

It works - a bit!

Thanks

It works for LTeX but doesn't work for LT21 which is a team game (I think is an inner setting)... it seems to be the same message appears to others (/take: Sorry, one can't take human players in this game.)

Because my team has 3 players and now just 2 - will be very interesting!

Thanks again

taking control of another player

IF delegation is working then type
/take name-of-other-player
when you are logged into the game as yourself
/take your-name
gets you back.

How to change the map?

The map presently in use is joining the north to the south. I agree that Too Far East Is West, but I don't think Too Far North Is South. In fact, if the map remains like this, the world is a TORUS.

There are 2 changes - one is

There are 2 changes - one is a typo "he" -> "the". The second is a more subtle change. The phrase "3 turns after the game is started" is misleading as the game is always "started" or else there would be no game to make moves.

Maybe we need to rethink this part anyway as we have started using the first turn is ~72 hrs and you must make move in first turn or be replaced.

7. If players is idle for 10

Quote:
7. If players is idle for 10 turns or more, or 3 turns after he game is started or player is added to game, he might be removed.

Quote:
Rule #7: should be modified to "If player is idle for 10 turns or more during the game, or 3 turns at the begining of the game or after player being initially added to the game".

Hmm, where is difference?

Quote:
Also, I think 10 turns it too long to wait during a game. Should I make a poll on this?

I think it isn't too long. But of course you can make poll on this.

As became clear in this

As became clear in this discussion there are inconsistencies and gaps in the Game Rules, specifically rule number 10.

I've updated the Rules of the Ranking List to take away some of these gaps and inconsistencies (see here for the list of rules), and I think many of the changes and new formulations of rules could be applied to the Game Rules as well. I'm willing to revise the Game Rules as well, to create one complete list of rules.

I'm always interested in comments and advise about the rules of the Ranking List, the most suitable place for that is this forum topic.

First, how is it related to

First, how is it related to rules? Wouldn't forum be better to ask the question?

Second, LT9 will start near September, but it's full. You can wait until someone will be idler and will be removed, or until LT10 will start, or you can sign to neverending experimental game.

Rule change to this? You

Rule change to this?

You must

  1. Have an account on longturn.org
  2. Alert us when you don't want to or can't play anymore, so a player can take over your nation.
  3. Play until you are dead, or state that you give up.
  4. Answer emails when sent from

You are expected to but not required to:

  1. make your moves every turn
  2. have a jabber account, (e.g. on Google talk)

If you don't follow the rules you will be removed, standard is 10 turns idle time. But we might remove you

well it seem Freeciv.com doesn't answer questions....No offense to anyone but how can people want to stick with a game when they can't rely on the web site to the game to answer questions pertaining to the game...

You're rather looking for general freeciv help, not for longturn one. Am I right?
