Default Oh MY GOD - I\'ve got a 1 star rating !

Darn !

I must have irritated someone ... Seems I received a 1 puny star rating !!

Now i wonder WHO could have done such an evil deed to me...

Could it be the person I nuked in a PBW game a couple of days ago ? Nah... why would someone from PBW do that in this unrelated forum ? To discredit me ?

"Things that make you go Hmmmm"

What do YOU think ?

RiTz21

P.S. I am starting a new thread: "100 reasons to give someone a 1 star rating because of a PBW game" - here is Number 1

#1: Eight of your ten homeworlds have been incinerated when your sun went Nubula, 1 turn before you had your system shield up - RiTz21

Any ideas for more ? I'll archive them with Credit.

Well Puke, I for one gave you a 1 star rating.

Ritz21,

I do not know who gave you the 1 star rating nor do I care and the person you are accusing of treating you unfairly certainly does not need me to defend them.

I will say that personally, I am sick of reading your whining about a game you are no longer a member of as if you are some poor victim of evil player conspiracies.

As the player the individual surrendered to - it certainly hurt me more than it helped. Aside from 2 homeworlds near riot I received a grand total of 6 useful facilities and a group of ships which are not worth their maintenance costs. I did not gain anything except a few empty planets that will be near impossible to defend.

The player in question rightfully, would not wish what was left of his game empire on a stranger. He played until beaten and still offered to continue admining the game when most owners would have quit. He was good humored and gracious about the whole thing. Never complained once.

You however threw a hissy fit when you did not get your way. You surrendered your top rated empire because the game was "to lame" for you to continue playing and threw the entire game out of balance for the remaining players. You could have let us find a replacement player. For all your talk of honor you showed none. We decided to play on anyway just for the fun factor and not let your continuing B.S. slow us down.

I have read you insulting that person's character both here and in that particular game forum.

The one thing you forget to mention in all your Posts about this surrender subject is the fact that on the game info page it clearly states to surrender to the player you want to. It not my fault nor anyone else's that you did not plan for an opponent surrendering to an ally after you attacked them. It says nothing about surrendering to who "supposedly" beat you.

It is time to stop whining now Ritz. Let it go. I doubt that the person in question took the time to rate you.

This issue should have been left at PBW and never have been dragged over to Shrapnel so you could seek sympathy from those who really have no idea of what went on. You have NO business of accusing someone and basically flaming them here in your post when you do not know. After this in my book you deserve it.

For those curious, I do believe the Die Alien Scum game forum is open to public reading.

However, I stand by my remarks that this issue really should be left there.

Ritz21,

I am the Game Host of Die Alien Scum. The house rules were clearly stated. The rules were subject to discussion before the game started. It was meant to be fast paced, up and down game.

Ok, you upset about the surrender. We all get upset sometimes and get over it. The game was still challenging, not unbalanced.

I'm upset that you cared so little for the remaining players. You could have left your slot for a replacement player. Instead YOU SURRENDED A STRONG EMPIRE.

I do not respect you bringing your hard luck story to this forum. I do not respect your leaving a large part of the story untold.

You do not deserve any stars.

Ok boys, as it seems, this really has nothing to do with Shrapnel or Space Empires or the community. As it seems, there is already a forum for that particular game on PBW and all discussions should be held there.
