*sigh* I sincerely hope the game Puke & geo are talking about isn't the game I have in mind. I'm going to have serious trouble preventing this information from affecting my actions in the game...

Keep in mind, I have not admited to Puke's scurrilous accusations. I was only taking a guess as to who he may be talking about. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif He has his perspective about the events in our game, and I have mine.

Without giving away too much about in-game info, I can give you two likely reasons Puke and I are hostile in the Grittech game.

First, we were coming from another game in which our races are long time partners and close allies. Being friends with the same players all the time is boring.

Secondly, The game is a "colonize own type" and we are both Gas Giant Races. That fact alone means we are in competition for scarce planets.

Neither of these would necesarily affect our relations with other races in the game.

When I talked about role playing differently in different games, you can go as far as role playing differently towards differnt players in the same game. It's a little harder to pull off, but it can be fun.

Re: PBW is very peacefull
 

I've finished one PBW game and am playing two more. All my games have had long periods of early peace, but only in the youngest of the two active games have I not gotten involved (yet) in the war that inevitably breaks out.

I've found that the diplomacy involved in trying to stay neutral in other players' wars is as big a challenge as joining in the fighting.

not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

i dont know, sounded an awful lot like a guilty consious to me http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/tongue.gif

id say a solid 70% of the reason that Geo and I are after each other is because we share realestate. id say the other 30% is just because we can. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon10.gif this is a WAR game after all, and although im trying hard to make friends with my other neighbors, were not playing the game if were not harassing SOMEONE. Besides, if Geo cant keep to his side of the treaty, you wont have to wory about picking sides by the time you get to us http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif
