***TBML 8 SEASON MODE***

[Blind Cide]

I have the pillbox plateau map up in the IA: TBML server with the league password.

I had to wait for the .ter file to load when I joined, so it would be a good idea for everybody to stop by sometime before game time to make sure it loads ok.

I'll try to host each week's map for pre-load.

Thanks BC.

I have the servers up. I wiped my thinktanks install at home and joined one of the servers. It took a long time to load without anything preloaded but it did load. In the future I think new terrains are fine but the requirement for 50 million different objects is too much trouble. A new terrain will load in 5-10 minutes and its pretty easy to find and delete a bad terrain file and reload if needed. However downloading and installing the xpack, xpack2, ..., all in one pack, all in 2 pack, blah, blah, blah is demonstrably a bad idea. It just isn't working well. For leagues I think we should stick to stock shapes, skies, and textures.

I'm sorry about last week I had an emergency come up. I need other people to host also in case something like this happens again. It really shouldn't fall apart because one hoster has an emergency.

I'm sposed to be the back up hoster, dash. I didn't get my servers up until 9:45 Eastern. I'll start putting them up earlier.

^ & ^^ many thanks for your hosting too!

@ Smacky - dont be deceived by RX, he uses an army of underpaid dwarves (calm down Rogue) to run PSL and produce that video.

Hehe. I've not really looked in this thread. My ears must have been burning Baba.

I used to play in TBML and was in the original season. One thing that really turned me off to TBML was that it got too complex. The scoring system got weird and the maps, though really neat, got a bit too crazy for the sake of being practical. Keep it simple is my advice and, I hate to say this, but the earlier start time for some reason has always equated to no shows for TBML.

TBML was fun when it was simple. In fact, I think the league would do just fine on stock maps, or at least stock graphics.

^ you should play. I will let you tell people you know me if you do.

I can't make tonight's game, and probably won't make any more until I can get the PMU on my MacMini replaced. (getting a whole new logic board)

ALERT!!!!
That leaves bolo's disciples with one active player (KJ) as bolo seems pretty much AWOL.
KJ showed by himself this past week.
more forfeits = no fun for all.

Any reshuffling or last minute recruits possible?

[dad]

^ I don't agree with Smacky...

Let me see if I can possibly get some people to help Bolo's team out. It's a shame that the captain went awol.

Rogue, Stinkfingers...any interest helping us get the season completed? Only a few more weeks to go...
