Murdoc Posted May 21, 2010 Man the busted chat makes this game even more surreal. It's as though some inexplicable galactic phenomenon has wiped out all open communication channels. Ha, that's awesome. Though honestly we were pretty chatty at the start, I miss it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennoa Posted May 21, 2010 All this talk of min/maxing is interesting to me, since that is exactly the opposite to how I play for the most part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennoa Posted May 21, 2010 I left a small thermo nuclear device at the centre of one of those planets. By the time you find it, it will be too late. Muhahahaha. You monster. You were the true monster my friend. The jennovan Republic does not relish your destruction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dpp Posted May 21, 2010 I wish there was a spectator mode in the game. At least a replay mode, I don't think it'd be too difficult to generate a .png with images from each day and a log at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren Posted May 21, 2010 Though honestly we were pretty chatty at the start, I miss it. That may be the problem. No one has said a thing in my other game and it's loading just fine. At least the "Welcome to Neptune's Pride. First time player? Read the Tutorial." part is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted May 21, 2010 Ha, that's awesome.Though honestly we were pretty chatty at the start, I miss it. Yeah it was by far the chattiest Neptune's Pride game I've played (not that I've played tons). I've also gotten more direct mail than I've ever gotten in this game. I'm doing a really poor job of replying to it in a timely fashion because I've been checking the game pretty irregularly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted May 21, 2010 That may be the problem. No one has said a thing in my other game and it's loading just fine. At least the "Welcome to Neptune's Pride. First time player? Read the Tutorial." part is. Well we totally loaded up the chat window in the last completed game, but it was over time, maybe we hit it too hard and too fast.

SGP Posted May 22, 2010 I love this game SO MUCH! Another gamer recommended this music to play Neptune to: OIUxwEJ-GXI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted May 22, 2010 Chat works! I don't know if anyone else is seeing it, but I got mine working, I tried typing something into it even if it was stuck on loading and it all came back and is visible now, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joflar Posted May 22, 2010 When you pan the screen, stars in the foreground will change their relative position quickly while the background stars will move slowly. It creates a really neat 3D effect. Didn't realize that until today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted May 25, 2010 I'm pretty much done with Puffin galaxy. I can't seem to pay attention to two different games and for some reason they are the complete opposite. Puffin is SLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW; like wholey shit it still takes me 10 hours to go two inches. Also, puffin feels dead, I think most of us switched over to Wizards and Im currently in a losing battle with Blue; who won't talk and doesn't have an AI symbol, but it might as well be... it's weird. Anyway, I still think a game like Wizard would work if the starts were a bit farther a part and something I'm more into. After Wizards, I'm going to take a break but totally want another game later. My passive neutral style wasn't intended to win the game, but Im way behind in everything that would allow me to do what I wanted. The only play style that has seemed to work for me is agressive expansion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dibs Posted May 25, 2010 No wonder i'm doing ok in Puffin if you all buggered off to Wiz. It is difficult to concentrate on 2 games. Especially with the same people. I only just noticed that my very nice neighbour in one is my not very nice neighbour in the other. Lest hope there isn't a crisis on infinite Zul-ek-arkibis.

SGP Posted May 27, 2010 Just started a game with my friends who live in town. Ran with default settings, 12 players, and alliances. You can see what extra stars and 1ly homeworlds does to the map: Wizards is so tiny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dium Posted May 28, 2010 I'm traveling, and so it's getting harder and harder to check these games in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, I'm at a turning point in both games and if I can't at least log on daily, this doesn't look good. Gotta stay steadfast against the Remoid army.

Marek Posted June 1, 2010 I lost my internet connection at home for 3 days and when I finally was able to log back in I lost a lot of planets and the AI spent all my money on stupid things. So I think I'm out now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hermie Posted June 2, 2010 Augh! I don't log on for a few days cause I'm busy with my paper, and suddenly all my planets are white or green. Murdoc is a backstabber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted June 2, 2010 Augh! I don't log on for a few days cause I'm busy with my paper, and suddenly all my planets are white or green. Murdoc is a backstabber. We had no agreement with you, so not sure how I'm a backstabber. Sorry that I attacked when you weren't logged in though, I didn't know. The Neptunian people may be neutral, but in order to maintain our neutrality new territories needed to be expanded. Since the Remo is conquering the north, we decided occupy the nation of Hermies to preserve some balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SGP Posted June 4, 2010 For the most part this is a tame game. It's strange because I went into it and still am playing with a competitive slant but that really doesn't seem like the case with the rest of the galaxy in general. Very odd to me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren Posted June 9, 2010 Well that was fun but I'm glad it's over. Congratulations Chris. I'm curious why you didn't break up that huge megafleet sooner, you probably could have ended the game a few days ago. I do feel kind of bad for dragging the game out so long but I had a good reason. Are you guys cool with some post game strategy disclosure? I have a few questions about specific things and I don't want to give anything away in case you guys are going to jump right into another game. I totally want to play again but I need to take a couple weeks off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
