RE: Dull Planet System

None too bad here, it's already looking like this might shape up to be an interesting game with just the first couple of entrants.

470 days, 23 hours, 3 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

Yea I agree with that, I was just happy to find a game where the privateer slot hadn't been taken already.

470 days, 22 hours, 22 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

I remember those days from when I played on robomaster. Players used to make games for themselves just so they could be the privateer.

I never had the pleasure of playing on any of the sites back then but that does not at all surprise me.

RE: Dull Planet System

I sorta want to start a new game, and this one seems the best fit for me of the 3 standard starting ones.

Having took over for veldan in the only ongoing game I have at the moment, the idea of facing him seems fearsome and I am suspicious that others in this league are at a similar level.

I shall have to think a bit about this.

RE: Dull Planet System

There's already a higher number of good players in this game, I think it's going to be an excellent one!

RE: Dull Planet System

jm, I kind of feel the same way but just have fun with it and think of it as an opportunity to learn from some good players.

Good luck to you all, commanders. I am looking forward to an interesting game.

RE: Dull Planet System

Hi all!

I'm amazed of the number of good players in this game.
I don't know how you can manage so many games... for me one at a time is more than enough!

See you in the cluster!

469 days, 3 hours, 23 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

I'm pretty happy too, might be the first game in a long time where half the cluster doesn't drop out by turn 10.

469 days, 3 hours, 1 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

people dropping out can get annoying but with this crowd I just hope I survive past turn...25ish :)

469 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

Same thing I'm thinking.

Just be prepared for the ship limit to hit somewhere around turn 25 - 30.

Hi@all

It´s good to see some well-knowend player in this game.

Good game! We see us in space!

RE: Dull Planet System

I know its only turn 4 and the turns don't take as long at this point but i'm impressed at how quickly everyone is doing their turns :)

Don't mind those ships exposing my position.

Just your friendly neighborhood crystal man here.

461 days, 2 hours, 33 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

well...9 turns in and one drops out :/

461 days, 2 hours, 30 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

:( I was giving myself a bit of time to think about some things.

I probably should have on a previous turn too.

Sorry if I am a nooby!

461 days, 2 hours, 26 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

I've always been of the opinion that a game set at 2 turns a week means just that. You have no obligation to go faster than that. If it takes you 3,4,5 days to do turn 8 and 9 that's just how long it takes... Maybe the fed didn't like his starting spot. No hurry jm.

461 days, 2 hours, 19 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

another benefit to having only two turns per week would be the potential for more communication of allies and such with people of very different time zones..

461 days, 2 hours, 18 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

OK.

Well, I am busy tomorrow.

Hopefully it will give someone else time to join!

461 days, 2 hours, 16 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

:( I don't like people dropping so fast... I only pushed him a little. But I think he didn't want to lose some planets and ships.

RE: Dull Planet System

conman, it must be that new found strength after finishing thin lizzy's training game :)

RE: Dull Planet System

Sorry Toxis, I didn't understand you, what do you mean?

460 days, 17 hours, 23 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

just a joke as to why he left.

thought you were in thin lizzy's lizard training game.

RE: Dull Planet System

Hi there, I am playing in too many games at this stage and do not have time to make all my turns. I have to therefore withdraw from some of the games. This is one of the games I am withdrawing from. Sorry....enjoy the game.

RE: Dull Planet System

Vote to pause game until replacement for Borg/Facist found.

415 days, 18 hours, 12 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

Hi,

I don't mind to pause the game until Borg/Fascist are found, but I would put a limit, let's say 2 weeks.

415 days, 8 hours, 23 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

Not a fan of pausing standard games for player drop outs.

But since it's only turn 20'ish, and I'm just now finishing up a game that started in May of last year that had the same problem with drop outs I might sway for a pause.

I'd like to hear what others have to say first. I just don't want this game to turn into alpha-beta system. Only 3 of the original players stayed to the end, and of those three all three are checked out (I'm checked out too). Sure I'm going to win, but wasn't challenged at all during the game and really it was a year long game played against almost nobody. Sure a privateer player showed up for a bunch of turns, but he was more interested in achievement farming than actually putting up a fight for victory. And of course skunkman joined for a bit, but he's more bark than bite (in that game).

Sad thing is... that win is going to put me on top of the leader board for the Colonies....

RE: Dull Planet System

I don't mean an indefinite pause, just a few extra days.

TheDuke left quite suddenly.

Err, I let it run.

RE: Dull Planet System

I am OK with a one week break to find the replacement players.

377 days, 5 hours, 16 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

How did that turn go? I wasn't done yet and I thought I had 4 more hours.

377 days, 5 hours, 12 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

it runs at just about noon on the west coast US. However today it appeared that the host ran about 15 - 20 minutes late, host may have stalled.

376 days, 16 hours, 2 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

I must have gotten mixed up with another game.

Some of my ships didn't move this turn. I had told myself I wouldn't do it again this game.

RE: Dull Planet System

We just can't seem to keep players going in this game...is one of my MBR's emitting toxic fumes?

RE: Dull Planet System

This game started promising, nice line-up.

Why is everybody resigning without a word... ??

342 days, 6 hours, 57 minutes ago

RE: Dull Planet System

I'm not entirely sure, the game so far has been so far pretty dull (pardon the pun) so far in my little corner.

RE: Dull Planet System

Hey guys, I have been trying to find a replacement for 2 weeks. I am so very sorry that I have to leave this game, but I cannot keep up. Real-life work situation has changed drastically for me and I am spending the next 3 months basically working everyday. with extended hours. Between this game and the Championship game I am not able to bring my A game to either. I've been balancing two and three games at a time for the past year, but things have changed to a point where I cannot even spend enough time to complete my turns or do any diplomacy. I am very sorry about being yet another player to abandon this game, but things have changed.

RE: Dull Planet System

Hi!!!

Although I'm doing my best to prevent the victory of the alliance Priv-crystal, my ally is not doing his turns... so your victory will be unstoppable.

If you want, we can tell to end this game.
It has been a pleasure fighting with you, and I hope that we will meet another time in another game.

It’s a pity that so many players dropped, crystal and priv have a huge advantage in that case, but I enjoyed a lot, and that’s what’s important.

See you!
