Then we can call you, Mark the Mercilessly http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Re: The Grudge-Match of Doom - (trashtalk/game progress)
 

Slynky, do you want to send me your password?

I think I have done the turn and stuff.

When did you guys offer the trade and how? Was it a gift or trade?

Mark's empire log does not have any gift recieved/sent traded Messages.

Edit: Slynky, let me know what research you expect to recieve or something in the next turn so I can be sure that I'm looking at the next turn

Sorry, Joachim...I wasn't sure you had all the turns (or, for that matter, that everyone had sent them)...so we watched a family movie ("Fluke").

If you have Mark's PW, then he should have received BC hull. If he didn't receive anything, then running it off PBW didn't make any difference...and we should just continue with trying again. It was a trade he offered and I accepted.

(just sent you my PW).

Looks like running the turn offline has not helped the situation http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: The Grudge-Match of Doom - (trashtalk/game progress)
 

Thanks, Joachim, for giving it a go. It was worth a try to see if it was PBW.

Best thing to do now is continue the game.

Re: The Grudge-Match of Doom - (trashtalk/game progress)
 

Turn done. Trade accepted (again)...crossing fingers.

Primitive, I guess you took a turn to clean your windshield from our Last encounter...without the orgs included from Mark's failed trade, I'm afraid I only have enough stuff available to smear the glass on your ships once again.

Word of the day: sandbagged, sandbagging, sandbags

* To downplay or misrepresent one's ability in a game or activity in order to deceive (someone), especially in gambling: sandbagged the pool player by playing poorly in the first game when stakes were low.

Looks like the old geezer wasn't totally toothless after all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well, it was barely able to eek out a victory. You attacked the place with the most ships (except for over near Jethanis) so that was lucky for me.

Oh, and the master of "sandbagging"...may I present Alneyan ( http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )?

Re: The Grudge-Match of Doom - (trashtalk/game progress)
 

Speaking of sandbagging, I'll consider you dangerous at any point of the game, Primitive! You're too smart to ever daly with.

Meanwhile, on the eastern side of the war, Mark is wiping Alneyan colonies and Alneyan is wiping Mark colonies. And both are embroiled in a battle of names (LOL).

Well, let's let them have fun. They are both reckless people endangering our game of safe play. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Ya know, Big Boy (said with my "limp wrist" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ), if I had some planets to work with in the beginning, you'd be trying to bluff your way into Jethanis...and forget those other places you managed to settle...there were no gas planets for me to take!

As soon as we get Replicant centers, we can start on some more weapons to take ground with. Give us 15 more turns (please) and lets see how pop growth can help our production out. (OK, it's not polite to beg, is it?)

BTW, I'll be capturing some breathers from you, if I predict correctly, in 4 turns. Just a fair warning for a foe I admire.

Re: The Grudge-Match of Doom - (trashtalk/game progress)
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">It will happen sooner or later anyway. Be carefull so you don't accidentally glass the planets instead of capturing them. I have had a bit of time to put up defences you know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
