the 60 hour limit killed our game. No one could get into it. You would forget what you were doing etc... We decided that the best empire should win. So we surrenedered to him.

Game 5 has had 3 players drop leaving me with one other person to play against. I've been in 1st place for quite a while now and seem to have a huge advantage in ships and technology. Unless I'm due for a big surprise, I'd say our game is close to being over.

I hate when people drop http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
I would try and play a game till the end, if I need to surrender, thats what the diplomatic screen is for...but just dropping out of a game? For shame!

Re: New Tournament starting, Join the 2003 PBW Open tournament
 

Well, when they drop prematurely it's certainly a drag. But then, when you're getting beaten, what other option is there? Just continue to submit turns while you watch your planets being dismantled?

Oh, and hey, Slynky. I'm your Last whipping boy... er, targ... er, opponent. My apologies, I think I've been the one delaying this game as long as it has - haven't had much time for turns. I have a hunch it'll all be over soon.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Per the 2003 PBW Open Tournament Rules:
-Surrender Disallowed
-If a player feels his position is untenable and wishes to withdraw he may do so. His place will be marked finished and the AI will control it to the end. The victor in any game will be the Last viable human empire remaining.

FYI: I have never "dropped" a game.

In any case, Electrum can perform Intelligence projects against the AI just as well as he could perform them against me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Game 7 is at 111 turns. The second place player has now withdrawn. This leaves myself & 2 other empires that are trailing greatly. I expect they will shortly throw in the towel the game will be over.

I must commend Satola for his tenacity. He stuck in until the Last dog was hung. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
