Bunch of questions about playing online, on forums, and by email

@Stough The stickied threads in this category offer that information, for example

@BrentStoudtKY
You are welcome.
Now enjoy gaming :slightly_smiling_face:

@Phaz
Welcome to the forum :slightly_smiling_face:

I have forked your issue to a new topic, as it was a new one and somehow unrelated to the issue before. Also I have moved everything to the TripleA support forum.

Using the MARTI diceserver and posting to the forum is unrelated. So you can indeed use two different email-addresses.

For using the dice server you simply need to register an email address with MARTI.

For posting to the forum you need to enter your forum credentials into the PBF setup. So your forum username “Phaz” and your forum password.

Now in your case your posting to the forum fails, because you have set up an invalid Topic-ID “tryout”.
You need to enter a valid Topic-ID here. For details see this topic:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32464/triplea-new-stable-release-working-with-the-forum
especially this posting: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1236499

Once you enter a correct Topic-ID into the setup you should be fine posting.

Just ask in case you need further assistance :slightly_smiling_face:

In this context I have been PM’ed about how to find out whether the connection is via IPv4 or IPv6.
As this might be interesting for others, too, here is the answer:

There are various web-services, for example

http://get.youripfast.com

showing your public IP as well as the IP version in use (IPv4 or IPv6) for your device.

Note that all devices that are behind a router will show the external IP of the router.

So regarding the issue discussed in this thread, you could deactivate WLAN for your smartphone (has the external IPv6 connection of the router) and establish a mobile data connection with it (2G, 3G, 4G). Your mobile carrier will probably assign an IPv4 address to your phone then and you can register with MARTI using your smartphone, then.

Thanks Panther, you’re a genius!  :-)

Playing Pac 40 for the first time ever and thought I’d try out the underdog - the Chinese. Needless to say I am having my butt handed to me in a wok.  :-P

It’s cool fun though.

I’ve downloaded some stuff ( actually my wife ) and I can get to maps and I cant find the one that looks like the Global set up. I’m new to the computer so I am extremely challenged.  I would like to play on line but I need some help

@Subotai:

Not NASA, not NSA, not Google or Apple or anyone, can make an AI that is close to being as good as decent human players, not even with computers that costs billions of dollars.

Would you care to stake $10,000 US on that?

AND YOUR SOUL?

I’m far from being a “rich man” even if I live in one of the richest countries in the world, so I can only afford $1000 (atm), but I’m willing to bet that amount, yes. If I had more money I would be willing to bet all of what I actually have.

One of the participants on the numerous AI threads on the TripleA developers page said that the A&A maps is even more (mathematically) complex than the game GO. So I would take my chance on at least $1000, or the maximum of what I could afford.
The premise is a fair bid, as regarded by humans, and the A&A maps Classic, AA42, AA50, Revised, or G40 when its rules are coded for Triplea.

About my SOUL, I’m an agnostic, so why should I not bet my soul??  :-D :-P
