Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Well, not sure about the "enemy" on your side, but mine has the Talisman and some other advanced trait that's kicking my ***. Not to mention he keeps running intel crap on me (and I'm not allowed to use intel defenses).

Well, there BETTER be more than 200 ships. I'm going to gobble those missiles up like spaghetti noodles http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Ok, if you want to run intel for defence it is ok with me.
I think it is a wasite of resourses.

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No, no, no...hehe. Not going to change the rules now. I'll just have to deal with it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif It's what makes it challenging...like you said, a DIFFERENT kind of game.

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

If it makes you feel better I just lost a five ship invasion fleet to
"Steve is Bad Enough"

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Well, of COURSE that makes me feel better. What IRONY... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

You see, I know where they were headed. And, you'll need upwards of 150 medium troops for any of my planets over there!

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Only 150?
Small planet?

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Well no one can backstab me in this game but if we are ever in an allyance I know I can trust you as far as we define.
How many gentlman agreements are there in this game?

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

How many? 10 (but you eased on Repair... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

Big thread I started, I guess... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif .

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

You found a very sensitive button and pushed it.
"backstabber" has a very negative conotation.

you could cheat on any of the agreements and I would never know. Yet I know you wont.

go figure

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks for the trust. If I ever win games, I like to do it honorably. Cheating is a complete NO-NO. Playing underhanded is less of a NO-NO, but I'll not do it either.

Although, I SURE would like to take a fleet south and "burn" some weeds! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh NO, no more concessions http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

When I win, it's going to be by the rules you set up. I have plans for those "Hippies" down there in spite of your fleets. (Well, HOPEFULLY!)

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Well as your spies will report my fleet size will be leveling off at about 100 as I deal with the Torons.
I selected that AI for this game because I love the ship set.
This is gonna be Phun.
I'm at the office for a while today. I'll send in my move by 2:00 maybe sooner.

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Just drinking beer a bit so waiting might be to your advantage anyhow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif .

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

I'll have time for one turn then off to a bday party for Pooh Star. She will be 38. I got her the 2nd season of Buffy on DVD and a ____ ____, ____ ___, and ____ from a Adult Botique so most likely I will not be making a turn tonight.

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I "hear" that loud and clear. Funny you mention Buffy. I just got word Season 4 is shipping (it was a pre-order). Michelle is a Buffy fanatic.

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Having troubles invading the Flower Chidren? Other than being the toughest AI they are just a bunch of pansys. Sheesh,
Well, I'll tell ya what.
I'll tell ya what, With the exception any system beyon "Universe" I will not enter any space you consider yours for 20 turns. You can take your fleets from the worm holes to attack the Flower Power.

Note: I consider all of space Mine so we can't use that definiiton.

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

I'm off to Kentucky to install another server (and some workstations). Depending on time (and if a turn is ready), I'll do the turn from there.

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Ok, I'm back in the saddle, (you don't want to know where I was, (trust me))
I'll have 2 turns in tonight.

Sorry about the delay.

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

ROTFLMAO
I finaly get the guts up to "Recycle" some obsolete ships by sending the through the warp point and it is undefended?
You are wide open, WTF?

BTW: I'm not laughing at you. I'm amused at myself for taking so long to take the plunge only to find the door unguarded.

Now, what do i do with my other 200 ships?

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">NP. And, I'd be happy to help you scrap some more. As to that door, to some system called "Dead...." something or other, well, it's not a place we like to be anyhow. However, the other "doors" are guarded well. You might as well forget that "Expendables" idea...hehe. Of course, it is a good name... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

I see you've been having some extreme fun (in secret, of course http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ).

BTW, I don't think there's much you can do in a stock game that can keep you from being seen, is there? Unless you can become a mine...hehe.

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Are you asking me or the forum?
My minister of Dissin Information says our XXX hard core Cloaking system will be implemented shortly.
We don't know how you are spying on our ships but they will dissapear shortly.

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Slynky I see you lurking. Are you going to post some witty rejoinder?

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

No real witty retort springs to mind.

(although I AM wondering just how you plan to scrap all those ships)

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Scrap? Did I say "Scrap"? I don't think so. I Wonder how good your spy sats are. That is what you are using isn't it?

One turn you will be able to see my fleets, the next turn you won't. It is that simple.

To paraphrase Kamchack,
"I am a Gryphn, I have a plan"

Date: 60-th Turn
A meeting of the very highest of the high is taking place
The attendees all communicating in muted vibrations, (aka whispers)
Servant 1 to Servant 2 – Why are they all mutting? The enemy is 20 warp points from here they could never infiltrate this far.
Servant 2: They think it is cool

Location: A secrete place nobody but nobody knows about, (not even the people present)
Secret person #1: Sir, we have problems
Secret person #2: What kind of problems
Secret person #1: The enemy knows how many ships we have
Secret person #2: Sorry, That’s not my department
Secret Person #1: What is your department
Secret Person #2: Sorry, that’s a secrete
Secret Perons #1: Were are we
Secret Person #2: Sorry, that’s a secrete
Secrete Person #1: What can you tell me
Secret Person #2: Sorry, that’s a secrete
Secret Person #1: Who should I talk to, no wait, don’t tell me, that’s a secret.
Secret Person #2: Sorry, that’s a secrete

From the ministry of Dissin Information
The bad news: The enemy knows how many ships we have.
The good news: The we are going to recycle lots and lots of them so they won’t know how many ships we have
The bad news: A lot of our brave people are going to die

Good news. We will soon achieve cloaking level XXX. Now no children will be able to see us. Nothing in the known quadrant can see through it except adults and we know the Phun Pheds don’t have any.. (we hope)

If you have any questions please ask for an exact copy of this

The Dissin Information Minister would like to appolgies for the small error in accuracy.
The truth is we have known about your ships in our systmes for at least .. well that would be telling.

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

Ya know, "Flower Boy" is starting to REALLY be a pain! As if it's not tough enough fighting his Talisman AND his Organic crap, I had to do some crop-dusting on a fleet of over 25 ships (mostly battlecruisers) ships of his down south. I think I need to mount some Ortho on my ships.

When I saw the combat file of nearly 50K, I thought it was you attacking. You should have seen how long it took PBW to process the darn turn!

Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail
 

From the office of Dissin Information
The Tessellate Empire is in Violation of the Gryphin Convention
The Millette Tary Minnister, (MT Blun Der Puss), and the Re Search Minister, (MT Know Nada), conspired to use Boarding parties against the Torons.
First the Millette Tary Minister setup clandestine camps to train the boarding parties. He then had built specialized ships with compartments to aid these mis guieded troops in there savage assaults on the Torons.

Then the Re Search Minister Ana Lyzed the captured ships.

Our Great Leader Gryphin never knew anything about these plans. He appolgies to the Torons and the Phun Phederation

The Millette Tary Minister says he “forgot”. The Re Search Minister says “he didn’t know and was only following orders.

In order to compensate for these gross violations of this noble treaty the Tessellates will voluntarily:
Fire on All captured ships, (the will not be scraped)
Retro fit all ships with boarding parties
Send all boarding parties to re hab, (they will make good ground up troops)
Finish current research projects and then not do any research for 5 months. (It will take us that long to find a new Research Minister)

Phun Pfederation Phact Release:

Though it's known that all races pheel a streak of bloodthirsty-ness, all sentient races in this galaxy have agreed to adhere to certain rules of engagement. When the Phun Pfederation pfound phacts of rules violation, we accepted the apologies of the Crystal Gails.

Of course, we still hate them and will endeavor to destroy them. After all, that's what makes makes war phun!
