Gold Gultch

[Harry Tuttle]

He is, and replied to my PM. But there's a problem- HT seems to have made an account on here years ago, but has forgotten his password by now, and has asked if I can contact the admins to send a new password to schneiderwm@gmail.com Problem is, I can't tell an admin from an ordinary member by their profile or otherwise. Perhaps someone else knows how to contact them?

Thanks for the help Jerec. Seems December 2004 was around my last visit.

Feel free to edit the scenario as you see fit to make it multiplayer. I also suggest looking at some of the comments made by Agricola in the original development thread at Apolyton.

Have fun everyone.

Looking up where gold nuggets/cattle are spawned in the events and keeping units posted right beside the point to immediately kill the spawned units and keep other players away. I suppose we could fight over control of the entrances to the cattle pens, but stuff like killing another player's prospectors and surrounding gold nuggets/cattle point with units seems over the top IMO. We might want to ask Harry Tuttle about this one.

HT, would you give your opinion on this? Or any of the other players, for that matter. I haven't seen any other PBEMs with this feature, so we don't have any examples to go from when and if we make a rule about it.

[Harry Tuttle]

Hmmmm, besides a gentleman's house rule I don't see how you could prevent "camping".

I want to say that this was touched on during development but was dismissed since there were 8 spawn points for the nuggets.

You might want to reduce the reward for each nugget killed as a solution. This would make it less cost effective to leave units out in the field.

I guess you could look at the nugget spawning locations as being gold mines and the Saloons could then fight for control of the locations. Simple solution maybe?

[Harry Tuttle]

I believe that would be a good solution. Gold strikes were closely guarded secrets in the Black Hills. The nuggets only move in the scenario so that they do not pile up in one place, preventing a reward for multiple kills.

Fighting for control over gold mines...makes sense. So no rule is needed after all. Are we ready to start playing now?

[McMonkey]

Lets start and work out any issues as we go along. This looks like a fun scenario so I am sure everyone will enter into the spirit of the game and problems can be solved with a good old fashioned bar brawl!

OK, guys, started as gun man

Keep your guns outside, leave you gold inside and we´ll friends forever

Found some gold in the mountains.

The Golden Nugget Saloon offers good liquor and bad women at a reasonable price, unlike the Double Diamond which smells of rotten fishheads

All are welcome at the 5 Star, as long as you bring gold instead of lead.
