Sounds awsome, and a great way of including multiplayer without it
interfering with people's stratogies, which was my main concern, it just
gives you effectively some actual characters to the game as well as the ai
ones, which is fantastic!
Interestingly enough, Dark usually ends up as either a fisherman, hunter or
a cook simply because the character gets assigned early on to something
useful.
I do wonder what will happen if someone makes themselves something
specialized with a secondary skill you can't use, ---- like a smith or
metalurgist when you have no mine or forge, or a bar tender when your not
harvisting wine, but we'll see.
also, sometimes dark in the game has been female for kicks, ---- what
happens when she gets pregnant? it's a litle rough on other players to feed
a mmother and gain no bennifit from the child, do they get another child
too?
If not, ---- how about some special lucky bonus of some sort?
anyway, I'll try it and see.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Castaways, 1 week milestone reached!
Thanks guys, I appreciate it!
Version 1.0b is posted! I'm running out of time before I head to work, so
I really won't be around in the event that someone experiences an error.
Let me quickly run you through the basics of it. Start a game where
you've turned Multiplayer co op on. Within 60 seconds you will link up
with other people who are playing. If someone else is playing, you will
see a message that they washed up on your shore! This player is now an
extra person able to help out in your settlement, but you are not allowed
to change his, or her, job.
You will have other people to help in your city, and they will have a
version of you in theirs. This is a very loosely based multiplayer, but
it's the foundation for future features. As you know, you begin with a
person that has your specific name. Obviously this person represents you,
and this is your link to other players in multiplayer. When you change
your job, it will change for other players in their cities. Try to be
something useful, so that other people are happy to have you, and not
upset that you're doing some job they don't need.
Press ? if you want to chat, but PLEASE! keep in mind that this isn't
meant for the stress of a chat room right now. Chat a little, of course,
but don't start spamming stuff. I would also encourage you to stick to
role playing. If your character is a rough lumberjack, other players will
have far more fun if you speak as if you are. Asking questions about the
game, or general off topic chat, will probably take some fun out of the
experience for others, so please keep that to a minimum.
You can still save your game, and any game saved in multiplayer can be
loaded again later. You don't even have to be playing on the same
difficulty level, so use the extra people to help you succeed , when you
might otherwise fail. Have fun, and I will be anxiously looking forward
to being done with work, so I can come back and play a game with some of
you all! Yay!
If you experience errors, it will be due to files not being registered
correctly. This would be the same idea as the people who have to register
direct X7. As I've already said, I can't do anything to help you right
now because I'm heading to work.
