Hey there CCAncients.NET users,
Work on site is getting harder day by day, it was therefore necessary to separate competences to better manage both forum and site.
To achieve the goal I asked, and community immediately replied.  Phill kindly offered his help.
I would like to introduce our first official Moderator for the forum, Freeloading Phill.

For those that don't know what a moderator does, Phill will be assisting with general forum management, making sure threads are in the appropriate sections, banning those pesky spammers, enforcing forum rules, and helping us get everything organized a little better so the forums can provide more value to us all. Essentially it's a little bit like a police officer, but instead of going to jail, you can get banned if you're naughty or post links to warez, etc. So be good!
Please keep in mind that Phill is neither a CCAncients.NET employee nor a Support Technician, so please do not bother him with technical inquiries and questions. Please direct those to the Support Requests sub-forum or the Contact Us form. He will help out here and there when he can (and as he wishes), but his purpose here is, at least in the role as moderator, to help us out by moderating, so please keep that in mind.
Everyone please treat him as if he were your friendly neighborhood beat cop, and we should be all good.

A big thanks to Phill for offering to help out!

If there is someone else interested in supporting us, please apply for this role in the forum.

Thank you everyone.

Thread: PBEM:: UFC FN 22 / UFC 119 Pick em...

by mdp4828

UFC Fight Night 22 is on September 15th and UFC 119 is on September 25th. This is a pick em contest combinging those two UFC events for anyone who's interested.

How to Enter

First, tip this post with 1

Second, send me a geekmail with your pick for the winner of each of the 4 televised fights from UFN 22 (on Spike TV) by Sept. 14th. then send me your pick for the winner of each of the 7 televised bouts from UFC 119 (5 fights on the main card on PPV and 2 preliminary fights on Spike) by Sept. 24th.

Rules

For each of your picks that wins a three round fight you will be awarded points according to the following table:

If your fighter wins by  |  You will earn

split decision           |     1 point

Majority/Unanimous Dec.  |     2 points

Third round stoppage     |     3 points

Second round stoppage    |     4 points

First round stoppage     |     5 points

For each of your picks that wins a Championship fight you will be awarded points according to the following table:

If your fighter wins by  |  You will earn

split decision           |     1 point

Majority/Unanimous Dec.  |     2 points

Fifth round stoppage     |     3 points

Fourth round stoppage    |     4 points

Third round stoppage     |     5 points

Second round stoppage    |     6 points

First round stoppage     |     7 points

Draws and no contests earn 0 points

I'll post all the picks in this thread before the main cards starts.

Special Bonus Picks

Making special bonus picks is totally optional. If you would like to keep things simple and just pick winners then skip this section, you won't be penalized because I will assign you the default bonus picks which will award the average expected value for all types of bonus picks (so long as your picks win in the default fights).

However, if you would like to make some more complex picks, then you may select some fights and try to predict how they will end.

Because of the large number of fights on this combined contest you may make THREE special bonus picks. To make a special bonus pick select a fight, pick the winner of that fight, then pick the method of that win from the table below.

Method of Fight End       Abbreviation   Bonus Points

Submission                    SUB              4

Technical Knock Out           TKO              3

Decision                      DEC              2.5

Any stoppage (SUB, TKO)     ANY STOP           1.5

Any end (SUB, TKO, DEC)     ANY END            1

For example, in UFC 118 Couture defeated Toney by submission. Had you submitted the pick Couture by SUB, then you would have earned an extra 4 points for that fight. Had you picked Couture by ANY STOP, then you would have earned an extra 1.5 points. Similarly, Couture by ANY END would have been worth 1 point. COUTURE by TKO or COUTRE by DEC would have been worth zero bonus points (of course you would still get the normal points for correctly picking the winner). Had you picked Toney by any bonus method, then you would not have gotten any bonus points (because Toney lost).

For this contest the default bonus picks are as follows:

Your pick for Marquardt vs. Palhares by ANY END
Your pick for Nogueira vs. Bader by ANY END
Your pick for Mir vs. Filipovic by ANY END

Each bonus pick you submit will replace on of the default bonus picks starting from the top of the default list.

In all cases the type of end will be determined by the official results posted on UFC.com

Let me know if you have any questions on how bonus picks work.

Awards

Players will be awarded GG according to the following table

Points  |  Award

First   |  50% of the pot

Second  |  25% of the pot

Third   |  15% of the pot

Fourth  |  10% of the pot

After quite a bit of time, and a lot of work, I want to let everyone know that the iPhone/iPod version of ZimP has arrived. I hope you enjoy it, and let me know what you think.

$1.99 at the iTunes store.

Thanks to Josh, my friend and programmer, and to everyone else involved in ZimP. That includes you guys, the players.

Thread: Computer Based Board Gaming:: Student...

by tomhoward87

Hi,

I'm a Computer Science Master's student and I have made a Java version of Hansa with AI. I've only been programming for about a year (my bachelor's degree was in another discipline) so it's not the prettiest thing you've ever seen, certainly not as nice as the one on Michael Schacht's website, but I hope it does the job.

The focus was more on the AI, which is where you guys come in! If you're interested, play a game or two (preferably either two player or four player, as these have been tested more thoroughly) and let me know how you do. If you could PM me with the scores, your own level of experience with the game, and any other comments I'd be very grateful.

It's available at http://www.sendspace.com/file/qpl9kr

Thanks for your time!

Tom

Thread: PBEM:: Desperate to start an ACTS wargame

by greatredwarrior

Basically, I live in Indonesia and am not able to play for long stretches of time, but would be very interested in playing/learning any of the games available on ACTS (except for Pursuit of Glory...I'm already in a Tournament for that). I've really gotten to know ACTS well and definitely like it.

Thanks!

Thread: PBEM:: Olympia game 3 (open source)...

by Tom Droeshout

Hello all,

Just a quick message that we're relaunching an old pbem, that became open source recently. Open source means free, of course. We're hosting it as a tribute to the community.

It might be interesting for you for having a look at the game mechanics, or just to have some fun with that old jewel.

Just to remind everyone, it's a pbem, which means it doesn't have the awesome graphics of a recent PC game though. I have to admit that.
The turns are in txt format.
A turn looks like this : http://olympia.v-labs.be/g3/node/400

On the other hand, you play it with 150 other players in a free for all, which leads to interesting diplomatic exchanges.
150 is not that much, so you still make a difference with your alliance/group (compared to the clicky webgames like Tribal wars).

Turns are run once a week, to permit everyone to send in their orders and to process all 150 orders at once. You don't have to stay before your PC all the time, you can make your orders offline whenever you want and then send them in.

No client is necessary to install, so you can play it by mail and follow everything by smartphone, netbook or tablet.

The game has a lot of similarities with the PC game "Age of Wonders" (but with auto combat on, of course). I have a looked for a similar board game but there doens't exist one actually. Maybe Elfenland comes close it.

Anyway, freel free to take a look,
