Well, I don't really think this would be a MaG thing, so it wouldn't need to be connected.
Well, the turns are 4 days long at a minimum. I'd probably end up making some shorthand way to do it - besides: making moves on the map is a simple matter of coloring hexes in, indicating conflicts, and then a list marking fleets (which would appear only to a single player w/o scouts). I don't think it would take more than 20 minutes, and I'm willing to put that in. Oh yeah: 7 players + judge (me)
Since Slug's gone, if Sarg wants the Sals, he's pretty much uncontested. If we're preparing for a game, feel free to volunteer (better players get worse races, if possible)
I'll write up some technical mechanics in a couple hours and put them somewhere obtrusive.

Maybe we could jump away from Ares' plot and put the grolk in. And it'll take a while for me to decide which race to be.

Visit my site, if you're interested: (url="http://"http://www.MSPlugDevelopment.n3.net")www.MSPlugDevelopment.n3.net(/url) Email me at vertical_file@yahoo.com with a review and a rating (out of 100) for an Ares plug, and I'll put it on the reviews section.
My version is completely unrelated to the storyline, but I suppose that's a good idea. What I like is the idea of some organization in NetGames based on race.
I think that idea could materialise on MaG. you should email me some more details on it..mr_ryno4@yahoo.com is my email....you could have administrative functions to run it as well. Oh well it's a good idea though, if your serious about it you should give me some more details..

Well, I made the starting map for the game (although not on an internet-capable computer), and I decided to put the Grolk in. I'll email you when I get everything together.
Hmmm... this would be interesting for NetMech too - inter-clan wars.
I'm just going to say, this whole idea souds very cool, it might actually get me to play a net game or two.
------------------ We will not change unless we survive but we will not survive unless we change.
Well, if you were referring to MaG, it would probably get you addicted - you'd say "one more game, for my score..." and keep on going.
If you were referring to ACQ, then you wouldn't be able to commit without playing a large number of multiplayer games. I suppose I'd add in an "AutoCalc" function for when you have a much larger fleet and/or don't care about losses.
The Netmech tourniments are goin on right now pallas...FC is winning do you have netmech?
nothing new could be added to the netmech ladder since it's the oldest one on mag though..
The 3 or 4 times I tried to download NetMech it came out corrupted.
You don't seem to understand: this is not a ladder. It's a single game, which is completely separate from any others
It also allows for a bit of balancing, since one player can be put as gaitori or Grolk and others Salrillian and Audemedon. If you have to play Grolk vs. Aud, how can you really create a "ladder?"
hmm ok i think i get it now...
alright then i guess u would be better off doing that as seperate from MaG then.
oh well it's all good. (you should try dling netmech again, it's a fun game)
Well, can you give me a good link? I really want to get it, but after 3 failed attempts at one site, I'd think I'd want to do it at a different one...
Heh, searching for "NetMech," the first site that came out was "www.magleague.com"
I'm downloading it now, for the last time. (URL (url="http://"http://download1.activision.com/activision/mechseries/demo/netmechinstaller.hqx")http://download1.act...chinstaller.hqx(/url) , readme (url="http://"http://download1.activision.com/activision/mechseries/demo/mw2netreadme.hqx")http://download1.act...w2netreadme.hqx(/url) )
If it doesn't work I'll come back and say so, if it does, I'll come back and say so.
heh ok, If that doesn't work i'll give you the ip to the MaG hotline server i help run, it has netmech under it's files list and you can try to dl it off of the server. If that doesn't work then you're screwed.
Awwww...COOLNESS!!!!!
How would you do it though?
------------------ This Vid is a bit like my beast; extremely long, and best enjoyed with a mouthful of nuts. -Ali G.
how would you do what?
This sounds great... who are the other clans? I would be really interested in joining one but I have no idea who to talk to.
------------------ Out ride the sons of Terra, Far dirves the thundering jet, Up leaps the race of Earthmen, Out, far, and onward yet -
I call Ishimans!
------------------ NEW NAME FOR THE DREADNOUGHT The Hard-Boiled Egg Why? Because she cant be beaten!
Now I'm really lost.
Hmm... in my (very short) absence, this idea seems to have gained some momentum... If you want to know how it would be done, I'd send you a list of where all your fleets are (and those detectable by your scouts), and put up a map on (url="http://"http://www.obain.f2s.com")www.obain.f2s.com(/url) (well if the site's free :p)
I might have already mentioned it, but I have the starter map, in AW6 drawing format to make my life easier. I'll just have to get it onto this computer...
Putting up a races list now... (url="http://"http://www.obain.f2s.com/racelist.html")http://www.obain.f2s.com/racelist.html(/url)
BTW. NetMech isn't working. I already told you, but...oh well, just saying that.
Ok here's the MaG hotline server...64.44.101.80...(use guest2 for log and pass) look for netmech under the mechwarrior 2 downloads in the files section. The game is free so it's not warez, we put no warez on the MaG server. So go there and download it. It definately works because i've done it myself just to check it out. Once you dl it let me know, because if it still doesn't work it's not the programs fault...it's the person running the program
