Unfortunately this submission probably won't count, but I've just finished a Huge Warlord Domination in 1200AD, besting the current record by over 100 years. I didn't do a detailed writeup but I did make note of some highlights and things I'd do differently. Settings: Pangaea, 17 opponents...

I was playing Warlords this morning, it started and found the CD fine, I tried to start the game again and now it says it can't locate the CD. The disc NEVER LEFT THE DRIVE; it hasn't LEFT the drive in over a week. I know it can read the CD because it comes up with Autoplay. All the searches...

Note: This is with the HOFMod, but I doubt the problem is related to that. I'm playing a Duel Great Plains game, and settled a city in the corner to claim some stone. Zoomed out (to the world view) it looks fine; the city's got one border expansion and everything seems right: However...

So, I went away to Delaware for the weekend to work on some server stuff, come back and find our house like this: My father says it's something like 11,000 lights total, and the tree touches the 8-foot ceiling of our living room, at least before it fell over. I personally think it's...

This is just crazy enough to work. That's the foldout of the hull of my airship. (Y'know, like when you made paper cubes in elementary school.) I've got it mostly worked out - with twelve defunct sheds, about 200 feet of aluminum drainpipe, and some as-yet-undetermined source of rubber...

In several pitboss games, my name has changed to the all lowercase 'xerol'. I change it back, and it stays changed until the next time I try to connect to that game, when it changes back. Anyone know why this would be happening, or more importantly, how to fix it?

The problem with all these huge Pitboss games is that usually one person can't make it, and it's near impossible to get people together for power sessions. I want to set one up with a small group (4 or 5 people total) but a long timer (36 hours, is that possible?) for people with a very specific...

http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/engvpak/content/current/story/257055.html Sure, I can understand why they're upset, but to refuse to play (and forfeit the match)? Especially since they were in such a commanding position, it just seems like a stupid thing to do.

Time for an insane variant, especially for Civ4: Domination, ICS-style. Due to the changes in mechanics for Civ4, ICS is not a good thing anymore. Not only that, you can't settle as close as you could before. We'll be following four rules for this variant: 1) Cities must be placed...

This is about two hours after I had it cleaned out. (Even 95% filtering doesn't help much with this kind of volume.) I'd just shut the account down except I've got 8 years of registrations and correspondance tied to it. Also unfortunate is that sometimes real mails get lost in the Bulk folder...

This variant/story is semi-inspired by Basketcase's "The Vanguard" Civ3 story, but it will probably turn out a lot different. The backstory (details later): I say details later because I haven't actually started the game yet, and I'll do most of the writing as the game progresses. The...

I noticed the orange button on the GOTM page, and clicked (which, by the way, the button itself should be linked as well) and was disappointed in the feed. Harsh Comment Warning - Some comments ahead might be a bit harsh. Possible Disclaimer to Harsh Comment Warning - The feed appears to be...

I filled in all of the settings for a game I'm playing, and at the end of turn 1 it asks me for the secure username and password, which according to this page should be xerol%lggaming.com and my password. (I tried about 10 other things in the username field as well.) I tried to send it and it...

Usually programmers try to simplify things. To me, that means doing as much as possible in each line of code. This sometimes results in super-long functions: DECLARE SUB CreateTextObject(x as double, y as double, mx as double, my as double, ax as double, ay as double, c1 as integer, c2 as...

Ok, I finally got an S-Video to RCA adaptor for my laptop, and after hooking it up, I set my TV up as a second monitor. The quality isn't that great, so I just use it for watching videos/etc. The problem comes when playing Civ with KeepRes=1 on. The screen is extended over onto the TV, even...

Normally, I have my quicklaunch bar docked to the north side of the screen, Always on Top and Auto-Hide both on. Recently, however, the bar disappeared, which has happened once or twice before. So I just re-add the toolbar, dock it again, and get the settings back to what they were before...

Blocked by IE, but I got a screenshot of the ad that it's associated with. Came up on 3 different pageviews.
