We filled DIE HARD 2, so it's time to start another signup. This is a game for serious players who don't quit. If you are not familiar with the format, here are the details:


DIE HARD GAME GOALS, RULES AND CONDITIONS

Goal:

I'm looking to recruit players for a "die hard" game. Players that are willing to play a game out to the end no matter what. No quitters, droppers, idlers, resigners, permanent holiday moders, etc. I have been increasingly frustrated with players quitting when they still have plenty of strength left, and so am looking to create a game that will not have this issue.


Game Setup:

1. It will be setup the same as a standard planets.nu officers game: 500 planets, the usual 11 races, standard map size, Max Allies = 1 for victory conditions. All other forms of diplomacy will be permitted as well.

2. Schedule will be 2 turns per week, probably hosting Wednesdays and Saturdays. Hopefully the early turns will run faster, but no guarantee.

3. This game will be created as a private game to allow the players signed up to join, but will then be run as a public game so you will earn achievement and campaign resources, and have it listed on your profile.

Rules:


You should agree to the following conditions before requesting a slot:

1. YOU WILL NOT QUIT. The whole reason this game is being created is to find a group of players that can take a hit (or a severe beating) and keep on fighting. You should understand that you quitting takes away from the enjoyment of others in the game, and should enjoy playing even when you are unlikely to win. You agree to not resign, or stop playing while remaining in the game (including holiday mode) in any fashion.

2. NO PRE-FORMED ALLIANCES. I am OK with you having friends in the game, but you must agree to join the game as independent players, open to alliance or combat with everyone else in the game. If the situation in the game is a good one for you and your friend to end up allying, more power to you, but otherwise you should be willing to work with other players as allies and fight your friends.

If you agree to the above and would like to play in a game with others who feel the same, look below in this thread to see what races are spoken for, then reply with your choice of the remaining races, and I'll reserve that spot for you. You can give me multiple races ranked first choice to last choice if you'd like, since this is all first come first serve.

A couple other notes:


1. OK, we may let you resign if your situation has become truly hopeless. Something along the lines of "I have only 3 barren planets with 10 clans each and my only ship is a fuelless probe I accidentally shot off the side of the map." If you really want out, post in the game forum and the other players can vote to approve your release or not.

2. I realize that real life issues can cause people to have to quit. That's understandable, but please give us notice so I can pause the game and try to find a replacement.

3. If you do quit for any reason except the above, you can expect to be taunted, mocked, insulted, and discredited in the public forums, as well as any threads for any other games you are in. You may also find players from this game joining other games you are in with the sole purpose of hunting you down.

4. While not a strict requirement, this game is meant to draw upper-level players. You should be aware that the competition will (hopefully) be tougher than what you'll typically find in the public games. If you haven't managed to pull off a win in a public game, this may not be a good one for you to join.


This game will begin once all of the races are taken. The first game filled in 2 days, while the second took about 3 weeks to fill. So I'm not really going to guess at how long it will take for this one.

RE: Now recruiting for DIE HARD 3Write Reply
Hmmmm, fascists are popular these days it seems, but they are yours! As far as making this a no allies game, that's certainly a possibility. I personally like the one ally setting, and think it helps balance a couple races (the birds and empire), but I'll leave it up to the players.

Anyways, let's start the roster:

Fascist are one of the "weak" but FUN races to play. personally i like them a lot. And if played well, they have their chances... ( in campaign mode with faster beams and better pillage they are at my point of view even too powerful...)

RE: Now recruiting for DIE HARD 3Write Reply
It should be decided before sign-up if this will be a no ally or one ally game. The difference is huge.
 I'll take a new no ally challenge but only in a championship game. :) For me it's no fun to expect every moment that your temporary ally turns on you.

But that's largely the fun from the championship games isn't it?
On the other hand I may have developed permanent twitching from the Taurus war...
I definitely agree the difference is huge.

If it doesn't start for 2+ months, slot me in as pirate. Otherwise I will defer to any willing player.

RE: Now recruiting for DIE HARD 3Write Reply
Emork, it would be good to decide max allies before people sign up, so I guess I will just keep it the same as before with 1 ally. Maybe best just to keep these the same format for each game in general. Someone else can make a "no allies" game if they like.

We're creeping towards filling this thing up, but we'll get there I'm sure. If it really does go out a couple more months, I'll probably grab a slot too depending on how DIE HARD 1 is looking. Anyways:

1. Feds -
2. Lizard -

5. Pirates - anaconda/dungeonmaster (TBD)

RE: Now recruiting for DIE HARD 3Write Reply
While I do like the map add-on, the ethical thing to do is to make any changes to the game (add-ons, victory conditions, ship abilities, etc) at the very start before people have already committed instead of after the fact.  This is especially true in this format. I propose that the map-ad on be seriously considered for Die Hard 4 and that we keep Die Hard 3 exactly as written.   

Your mileage may vary.

I'll just go ahead and say that I don't have any option for the map add-on when I set these games up, so that's really not an issue. The private game setup is still pretty basic. Really the only things I can set are:

- the schedule
- # of players and races
- max allies
- map size and # of planets
- victory conditions (planet count or military score)

RE: Now recruiting for DIE HARD 3Write Reply

there are different maps you can play on. one is the 'stellar cartography' map, it has nebulas where you can hide in, but not cloak, suns through which you can't fly and little asteroid spots (like 10 planet pieces that have been a planet before) where you can mine. 'explore map' is a map where you don't see the whole map, but only the planets that are in sensor range. in the beginning you have no clue where on the map you are.
'sphere' is a map that has no borders the upper side is connected to the lower and so on - but i don't know if they have this here ..

but anyway that's offtopic - bigbeefer can't set these options anyway - so it's vanilla time :)

We still need a borg player! Who's up for it? As for the schedule, whatever you all want is fine with me. Unless anyone has an objection, I'll go with Tues. and Sat. as suggested.

Back off-topic, sphere would be a good addition to .nu, since it gives everyone more neighbors which in turn helps reduce the impact of droppers some.

Nah, he is Borg.  Grab him, prep him for surgery and get him into the hive mind and lets go! Everyone should play the Borg at least once.  :-) 

Coldblooded, keep in mind that you will start out very weak,  New Borg mistake #1 is to start throwing weight around that you don't yet have early on.  Your mid sized ships, the firecloud will lose to everyone else's mid sized ship.  Almost everyone will be after you.  Your big two ships are overpriced (offset by the fact that you can chunnel).  The Priv will love to find you early.  You only become powerful if you can make it to the end game.  My advice is get yourself a good ally fast.  Your race has a lot to offer but alone it will struggle. Good luck!

Tell you what, I'll go ahead and create the game and send out the invites to everybody, coldblooded included. If he wants to decline for now, that's fine, we'll keep looking for someone else, though it sounds like his presence is quite desired! This will also give us a chance to see if anyone has lost interest over the last month and a half of gathering players. And for you to ponder your master expansion plans in this fresh new universe.

NOTE: Please DO NOT post in the the forum thread for the new game until everyone has joined and the first turn has run. This is to try and keep the game url secret so only the signed up players can join. After that, I would recommend that you do post at least once so you are subscribed to any news regarding the game.

Well, the game is setup as 2x/week, with no fast start, so I'd say go ahead and join when you get a chance, even if it might be a bit between turns at first. I'm sure everyone can understand, and it would probably take just as long for us to find a replacement anyways.

I don't think DIE HARD 1 has had a single early host run. That's just how it goes sometimes.

Agreed, I've learned so much in only just 20 turns on the first die hard game, more then most of my other games combined. I'll be watching DIE HARD 4 once i finish a couple other games :P

As early as this, would I dare to ask every one click their turns finished when their are done? If this could be done, the last one playing his/her turns could play two turns simultaneously, eventually speeding up the game and saving his/her own time as well...

Still broken..

I sincerely hope the host doesn't run now, I have most of my orders undone.

In the past, they have been very good about not running the host when the site has issues... but just in case I put the game on pause (had to manually enter the old site link to the game to do so). Pausing *appeared* to be successful, so hopefully there won't be an issue with the host running before everyone has a fair chance to complete their turn.

OK, took the game off hold, since there is a 3-hour host delay.

If you look at the game on the old site, it shows one player as "Not Ready Yet". This usually indicates holiday mode
