Has any one ever actually completed a full game?

Hmm, I guess I've only actually "completed" one game. I had set the victory condition to something too low, I think it was 150% of second place, and hadn't set a time limit before the VC took effect. One of the AIs "won" that game in under 10 years.

I completed some SE3 games, but not SEIV. Partly because I just don't have a lot of time for gaming, and partly because of the new patches. In fact, I completely ignored patch 1.27 because I was trying to finish a 1.19 game, and finally quit when 1.30 came out. Besides, I'd built a ringworld by then, and that was all I wanted to do. Of course, in my current 1.30 game I've got three ringworlds under construction in a trinary system (right next to a black hole system, interestingly). But I've started beating up on the AIs pretty badly. Well, at least the ones who decided I was MEE; fortunately, I've lost that status, so now I can make treaties with new empires while decimating the old ones... But I may just have to quit and load up a 1.35 game...

I've finished several, although I have been playing since v.0.23 (there were problems with the arrival of my CD, so I didn't get to start with v.0.20 .

But usually I just play until I really hit MEE, and I can get the AIs to surrender without doing a thing (10X score). Mainly because the beginning and middle parts of the game are really interesting and the endgame is really slow and tedious, since I know I'm going to win, I just have to go and do it...

I have won several, I now have 1.35 installed and the AI is way out in front it is down to 3 (counting me) and I think I'm goin' to lose this one I do not install updates till I finish a game.

Never.

In fact, I have only played in four games - no longer than 215 turns.

It's sad isn't it? I've had the game since late January.

I finish all of my games. It' because I'm an anal character and get punished by myself if I don't.

The Last SE4 game I completed was just before the game hit the market. Roughly 500 turns in... Was really interesting fighting one all-powerful ai that controled 90% of the galaxy.
