Procedure-call

Here is a simple checklist for "how to use" (at this host site ;) ):

  • check in at Spacecraft Portal - Game list to see if there are new games ready for you

  • register as a new player for the wanted game and choosen race (if unassigned, right!)

  • as a very very new player you MUST register for a TEST game because this is a game to check the turn-file-procedure from and to the host site

  • if you are already registered here you can go for any REAL or TOURNAMENT game. Your personal ranking is the only limit!

  • after you have registered wait 1 or 2 days for a "subspace" clearance from the host

Note: only players with real names are allowed to this host. If you use an alias don't expect to much!

About the typical gameplay

Once you have registered to this host keep the following checklist in mind:

  • because some games are set up by user minds (look for *User Setup* topics in the gamelist) tell me about your personal desire for a game setup

  • note the time in GMT when this host makes the next turn. It's important to you to know the correct time zone (from +/- h GMT)

  • check your eMail if you get the new file from the turn

  • unpack your player-file (*.RST)

  • use your favourite client program for playing your turn

  • make the turn-file (*.TRN ---> with MAKETURN etc. - and NOT packed with ZIP!)

  • send the turn-file back to the host
  • it is good when it arrives before the next turn has taken

  • wait for the next turn from host - be patient!
