12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

I have two spots open

The Alteri - have a fairly nice little empire, with some room to keep colonising.

The comstock empire - recenltly run by geo and is in good shape.

both empires are at peace, but things are looking interesting in other arias of the map which could lead to a MEE being decleard.

***if any of you hoasts fill one of my open slots I will inturn fill one of yours fair?***

bump

Re: 12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

What we lost two players!! This is unacceptable! Now my plans for galatic dominance must be revised!

Re: 12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

I should add:
turns are now at 36 hrs

(at dont kill me!! I noticed that Last month over half the players had not gotten there turns in when it was nearly 24hrs - and I was haveing to rush my turns a bit to.)

Re: 12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

Filled.

EDIT
errr...Could the current turn be pushed back for 5 hours ? I will ne be at home by the turn limit, and would appreciate getting that empire under control ASAP and not anymore under Artificial Idiot control.

Thanks....

Never took me so long to get a turn done. Cyrien launched scores of colonizers in queue construction. Had to go one by one over more than 100 colonizer and give them orders.

Pfeewwww... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Done...

Some research choice I would have done differently, the psychic trait which I use little, but otherwise, not an empire in bad health. Could had been worse.
Now will come the hard part. Who's my friend ? Who's not ? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Scout, should you happen to have some free time for a very political game, Paranoia2 do have 1 free slot, and the big guns has not showed up yet.
Tesco is the game owner, ask him who is your target and he will send it to you privately.


EDIT :
can someone enlight me on the political side of this game ?

Most of the races are at peace with two of them race races currently at war with the Consortium.

The Consortium has a simple policy when dealing with other races. Your in my space, get out.

Most of the other races are good strong allies at the moment and those that are not, well will soon feel the pain like the Klingons and all of the neutrals have.

Re: 12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

yea prety much what atrocities said. the galaxy is mostly frendly. there is a war going on down the SW corner, its a bit of an arms race (or has been)
I am already in parania 2 - not doing to well eather, got started in a corner.

also there is now another opening. kickban has not been playing, so I might kick him.
dont know what happend to him...

Re: 12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

Kick Ban, well you see he was Banned and now you must Kick him. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I miss tribes kick ban. A player would team kill, poof, kick ban and he was out of there for 999 minutes. Hot damn that was sweet.

Re: 12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

i perfer the ones where you just can't damage your teammates.

1: don't have to be as carefull.
2: no penalty's for accidents.
3: people who like shooting there teammates won't come anyway once they figure out that doesn't work.
4: when your not to good at fighting like me, it helps when you can just shoot at anyone who pokes their nose in and then check the color.

Re: 12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

You can turn off team damage, and most servers had that turned off. However, the other team would have players swap sides and then destroy our equipment and defenses then swap back. Once that was discovered a kick ban was incorperated for that.

Then they switched tactics and voted to kick off the other teams best players. I don't know how many times I was voted out of a game by my own team mates because someone on the other team called me a team killer and voted to kick me.

After that they just started cheating out right. Then we discovered that the Kindread were using custom coded cheats in the shifter mod and all hell broke loose. When T2 came out many hard core players gave up on T1.

But Kick ban was awsome.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">For kikckban, he was in Menace of the drows, but has not been sending turns recently.

As for paranoia2, I also started in a corner. Things don't look very good on that one.
Sigh.
In fact after some nice victories in a few PBW, it seems lots of my games (devnull4, paranoia2, drows) are not going to be as succeful.

I have read Atrocity's policy and do take good notice of it. Next turn will start the political mess. Which is the only thing I am usually good with. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: 12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

Quick drop in on a rare moment of spare time. Let me help out with what I was doing with the politics.

I hadn't commited to anything with anyone else. Basically with every race I had an agreement that read as this:

Stay out of my space with all of your ships cept single explorers traveling alone and I'll stay out of yours cept with the same. No colonizing in each others claimed systems. Might want to check on that. Two neighboring players had some ships traveling through my space and accidentally colonized once or twice and with a simple request they cleared those out though.

A few players asked for various aid in their conflicts and I said a few niceties and that I would look into it, then looked into it and promptly did nothing.

So you should pretty much have a free reign with no real obligations in the political arena.

I really wish I could have continued this game as I was very much enjoying it. I seems two of the other games I was in ended right after I left and the third will probably do so soon as well but this one was just getting good.

*sigh*
Sometimes RL can really suck. Hope you enjoy it.

PS: Yah I was in on a big colonizing effort when I had to leave. Hope it wasn't too bad getting all the different ones to goto the many different locations.

We the Starwolf Clan need more space. We need breathing room. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

So if any of you wish to surrender now, much life can be spared. We promise that your people will be treated fairly as our slaves. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: 12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

Well, I was wondering who was taking the flag of mega evil empire. Seems I can now have a guess.
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

However......

I'll think about all that..........

Re: 12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

I am the mega nice empire. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: 12 hr game - ok - heres the deal
 

I would really like to know how to do what the top player did to get where he is point wise in the game.

I am not kidding, I could really use the help and pointers.
