"Survivor 2" Round 11 is about to start

[Fyron]

If I were about to eliminate Empire A, say, in 4 or 5 turns, but someone esle is about to eliminate Empire B before I can get to Empire A's Last holdings, can I gift a few planets to Empire B solely for the purpose of keeping them around so that I could instead have Empire A elminated?

Why sure you can. But you can also expect that sort of tactic not to sit well with everybody. So be prepared to deal with the "consequences" of your actions in later rounds.

They have no way of knowing if I did that. For all they know, Empire B colonized planets in far-off locations without their knowledge.

[geoschmo]

This is true, but keep in mind that Empire A's friends can do the same.

An excellent question.

Well you know what they say, "no spoos is bad spoos..."

Dumbluck, as I said I really don't think it is likely to come up, but if it does I am going to come down hard on the player doing the closing, not the one being closed off. That's not a valid method for eliminating someone in my book.

Seems its my day to disagree with Geo.

I think this is a perfectly legitimate tactic. If anyone can afford the resources to close down the necessary 23 warp points in my gargantuan empire, they are welcome to try. But I would be utterly astounded if the game went on long enough for any one to try this tactic. If you are so rich and powerful you can afford to build these closers, how did you manage to NOT eliminate anyone?

Instead I would suggest that when, say, 6 or fewer players are left, the lost contact rule should no longer apply.

Hi Geoschmo

I was on the game site and tried e-mailing the administrator. It came saying "Mailbox not available."

Here is what I tried to e-mail

Hello Geoschmo

I have this "Change Password" icon situated against my empire. I tried upteen times to change it, but it will not change. What do I do?

I am a "hardcopy" man, and absorb things much better if I have a printed copy. Whenever I try to make a printed copy [edit: of the FAQ)I end up with only the icons at the top of the page. Assuming this is possible, I would also like black on white (black letters on a which page), rather than white on black.

I have a ton of questions (such as "How do I view the shipsets" and "How do I install the shipsets") which I thought I'd try to get answered from the FAQ rather than bug you directly about them (I can only imagine the amount of time you are spending on administering the tournament. )
