Philosophy / Play Style

[Baron Grazic]

That is exactly what happened to me in a PBW game.
I had a cloaked scout Escort ship travelling thru another empire's system and he cancelled the treaty saying I was spying on him. The Ship was destroyed by a mine field in the same turn. I asked for recompense and he said that I was warned via email which he actually sent after the turn was processed.
We have since become friends, but it remains a sore point.
It did send a big example for other races and they have kept well out of his territory.

Gryh,

Given that you play for fun and the sorting out of neat situations, I would say you can post your dilemma here. Others who play more to win may choose not to post, as it may give away too much information. You probably saw from my post in the Galactic Bash thread that I was not for more information being shared (the score issue), but I truly see that as protection for the newer players. Of course, now I am curious if you are up to something in the Bash, but since we have not met, I can not ask you about it. Sigh.

I do like the one post on setting up a non-game treaty with so many different variables. That sort of thing makes things fun and the verification of what is going on is very much a real world treaty. Is Iraq building Scuds? Are the foul Tiggas sending cloaked ships into my empire? How do you tell? It is much more entertaining that the strict trade and research treaties.

My playing style is to have Fluffy Bunnies on all the planets in the Galaxy. It is a noble, if unusual goal.

"Foul Tiggas?" As temporary commander in chief of the Growltigga Federation I suppose it falls upon me to take exception at that statement.

Saxon,
"My playing style is to have Fluffy Bunnies on all the planets in the Galaxy. It is a noble, if unusual goal."
That's cool, send a transport to me when we meet, I'll be happy to assist as long as they breath the same atmosphere.

As for "Up to Something"?
I am always up to something. My main strategy is to get inside an advesarys head.

It is a great sci fi / war storys book including background of the Dorsai.
It is still available on the web. Read the book and apply the theory. It will change your play style.

Where on the web? A search in Google turned up nada.

It also helps to spell the author's name right. It's Gordon R. Dickson.
