What an innaccurate thread title. "Almost underway", you say? What is this new turn in my inbox then? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif j/k

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Geo, enquiring minds want to know: Why are the games on ALPU?

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Only because I forget to set them to automatic. I had turned them to ALPU for the first turn (just a little habit I picked up over the Last few months) and I forgot to set them to FA when the first turns ran.

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Geoschmo, no one else has mentioned it so maybe I missed something. Game 2 is set to starting resources medium and home planet average. The description still says high resources and good planet. Is this a change?

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

No Grandpa, that would be my mistake. I guess 8 turns in though we don't want to think about restarting. Hopefully if anyones strategy had been designed around that they would have mentioned it before now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

No, no effect on strategy, maybe a tweak or two on my empire. But hey, we're all in the same boat so no-one should be advantaged or disadvantaged.

The Zardalu Empire has surrendered in game 2. Just one more to go!

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Ok. Um this may be a problem. Who did he surender to? Or do you just mean he was eliminated? We may need to play back that turn.

Geoschmo

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

No, strike that. I checked the situation and see no issue here. I reviewed my original rules and I had no restrictions on surrender. Perhaps since this round has multiple eliminations I could have, but I did not. Play on.

Broadcast from the Namovan Information Minister:

There are no coalition colonies in the Eurul system! We have the Vikings trapped in the Tesshana system! The Tesconites are committing suicide in their ships! The Zanar'ri are fleeing before our unconventional attacks! The Unconi spies are hanging by their throats from the lampPosts of our streets! All are fleeing before the wrath of the Namovan Empire!

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Broadcast from the Namovan Information Minister:

The Unconi have definitely not destroyed our homeworld of Eurul IV! They only came briefly to take pictures, then fled before our counter attack.

The cowardly Vikings are recoiling from our strongholds in Tesshana, and nothing has been heard from the Tesconites or the Zenar'ri. We assume they have fled the field entirely.

Still, any who would surrender to our all-conquering forces shall be dealt with in merciful and compassionate ways, consistent with the peaceful culture of the Namovan Empire. Our message to the members and troops of the coalition is: "Lay down your weapons, surrender to us, and you shall live."

Actually, though you appear to have got the details wrong http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I think you are right about the game being over. Looks like another empire is dead. Although I haven't got an official notice from anyone.

Greetings friends! We suggest that all now surrender to us for the entire tournament so that the Great Pax Namovica can commence in earnest.

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

I won't be playing in the round 5. It has been very interesting tournament and I would like to keep playing but I don't have enough time. I thought it would be good to quit now so I won't slow down the game too much.

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Broadcast from the Namovan Information Minister:

Automatic processing for the Survivor 2 Round 5 game is definitely not hung up. Processing is happening at the correct designated times! It is pure propaganda that the turn should have processed yesterday afternoon. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Okay, that was fast. Ya'll must have gangned up on poor Sparhawk to knock him out so quickly. I have heard rumors of a "Coalition" doing some serious damage in the tourney. I would suggest if you don't know what I am talking about that you find out what I am talking about, or you may be next. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Game is up and ready for the survivors to join.

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Well a coalition is a good idea.
NOT if five of that coalition are packed together next to each other with one enemy (me) also very very close by. So five enemies, with their homeworld within 3 systems reach is not funny http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Well I still got 19 turns http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Sparhawk

Maybe a very nice idea: check the map before the game is on... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif , because luckly I was not in the middle of them, but some could be.
It was really like 6 people right next to each other and the rest of the map open..

Unco , Spoon and Tesco are one team. We have been since the 1st game... I also had rollo , Nodachi and the Bratt in that team.... But they have been killed off over the Last few games....

Which kind of sucks... as 3 vs 17 has some long odds to over come

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Sorry, everyone in the Survivor Tournament.
Due to heavy workload of my Master study, I think I will stop here and let everyone continue without me.

After round six, I'm playing one PBW game only, and I still hard to find spare time to make turn.

Sorry again.

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Just want to make sure we don't have a duplicate shipset situation this round (we had one Last round.) Spoo and Ragnarok have the same shipset listed, and Rex's entry doesn't list its shipset. Last round Rex and Unco used the same shipset.

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Thank you. Spoo pointed that out as well in an email and it's being handled.

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Survivors, (and interested viewers)

Ok, been a while since I've sent a message out. We've got an interesting turn of events going on right now, I thought I'd bring you all up to speed on it.

As you all should know you all have pretty much grouped yourselves into two major alliances. This is fine with me. I decided a long time ago there wouldn't have been anything I could do to prevent it anyway.

One alliance has taken stock of the current game situation and decided that one of theirs is going to lose this round. They have decided to take matters into their own hands and have a "Vote" to decide which of their alliance should go.

This is not an official tournament vote, and I am not changing the rules of the tourney. I consider this to be just a different form of internal alliance politics, so I am not going to get involved, other then as an impartial third party to count the votes for them.

If the person voted off tells me they wish to withdraw from the tourney, I will allow them to do so. I have never refused to allow anyone to quit before, and have not asked for an explanations, so I don't feel it's my duty to compel them to stay in this case. I don't consider it cheating or collusion, since they aren't gaining anything from "taking a dive". They will be out of the tournament. Despite your alliances, this tournament is ultimatly a solo event. There are no points for being on "the winning team".

The vote however is not binding. If the person voted off decides they aren't ready to leave, I will not compel them to quit. They can try to switch sides to the other alliance, or even go it alone. If they outLast at least one other player they will remain in the tourney into the next round.

The round will continue as normally, turns running every 36 hours or when all players have uploaded. Until someone has been eliminated, or tells me they wish to withdraw.

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

What happens if Player A is voted off and surrenders, and Player B gets wiped out, all in the same turn?

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

If player A withdraws from the game by notifying me by email or in one of the forums, the game is over at that point. No turn will need processed, and so noone will be able to get wiped out. If the turn happens to run before I get a chance to shut it down, the results of the turn will be ignored. In this case Player B will survive to the next round.

If Player A doesn't formally notify me of their intent to withwdraw, and does so by surendering to someone else in game, and on the same turn Player B is wiped out, both players will be eliminated. The same as if two players were wiped out on the same turn and neither surendered.

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Was any decision reached?

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Not yet. They are still voting. Turns should continue as normal until and unless I tell you different. Don't assume the game is over and not do your turn or anything.

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Auto turn processing seems to be stuck.

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Auto turns for the server are off because of the server problem the other night. But it's been long enough so I am going to turn them back on now. Turn should run shortly.

Round 10 is over for me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif I only have one planet left and with 2 fleets closing in on it it will only be a turn or so until I am completely gone. I had horrible starting possition and hardly any space to expand to (only two directions to go) and the systems I did get control of were nothing to be glad about. But I am happy that I Lasted this long as I thought I would be gone in round 1. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the round and I bid you all fare well and wish you the best in your journey to be the ultimate survivor!

Re: \"Survivor 2\" Round 10 is about to start
 

Round 11 is up and waiting.

Re: \"Survivor 2\" Round 10 is about to start
 

I believe that my team (me, Gandalph, A.K. and Tesco) has decided to concede. We have been soundly beaten.
