Once, that I can remember. In a small galaxy (Out of 255, I think). By getting the remaining AI Empires to surender.

Once I know if I'll win or loose, the fun is out of it for me.

I've finished PBW games, but only because I've been wiped out (or KOTH games, of which I've won a few).

But SP, vs the AI...I'm not sure if I've ever finished a game, ever. I'm like Kamog said in his third paragraph, I get bored with long turn processing. I wish the AI could run their turns somewhat while you were playing yours as that would greatly help processing time...

I've won several games against the AI in stock Gold (no great feat there) and I've never had turn-processing take more than 45 seconds. What sort of antiquated machinery are you running?

I beat the 100-turn-limit demo (doubtless with the AI set on "poor, unfortunate soul"), but I think that's about it.

You create a star in the system then destroy it creating a black hole. Then destroy the black hole and create a new star. Its been a long while since I have done this, so the method might be a bit rusty.... but I think there is info in the FAQ on how to do it.

If you want a sample of a relatively big game, just let me know and I will see what I can do. Some games will not run on the fast PBW server (where turns have to run in 20 minutes or less), particularly those games with thousands of planets and tens of thousands ships.

Trust me, some of the players out there are barmy.

I have finished several games of SEIV.

I have only finished one game of SE2. In that I mean that I beat the AI and none were left, but I colonized EVERYTHING in the universe. It was awesome how much stuff you could build in one turn with that amount of money coming in.

My goal is the 100 turn limit while playing the AI. The limit was set by the demo and continues from there. I use a huge galaxy, and play with surrender "On". The last few turns are me looking in those few corner spaces for the last player. Playing against humans is a lot harder (and in some ways easier) Stellar Manipulation came as quite a shock. I still try, but mostly in vain, to finish within 100 turns.
