Murdoc Posted September 20, 2010 Actually, Murdoc, I don't think attacking me would've helped you that game. Certainly you left yourself too open to attack on my end, but attacking me would not have helped you. Disagree, I may have lost, but attacking you would have kept red on my side and no one around me was a threat since computer went AI. With my entire force directed at you, I would have survived longer anyway. But anyway, life got in the way regardless and anything on and after that Friday in moot since I wasn't really in the game. Also, I wasn't playing you off Mastegator, I said I was playing Mastegator off Red and the other guy in the middle(I thought that was green?). I had all three of them thinking I was their ally and the enemy to the other... it worked pretty well actually, hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, the problem you would've had if you had attacked me was three-fold; a) You had a very, very narrow attack vector. My ships were much, much faster. c) I'd had my ships in position to repel an attack the entire time. It would've taken your ships a long time to cross your massive empire, it would be very unlikely for you to match my forces on any feasible time-scale. Conversely, I could get my ships from one end of my empire in less than 24 hours, if needed. If you had attacked me I would certainly not have been the clear victor, don't misunderstand. In that scenario Zaphod won, beyond any doubt I can conceive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennoa Posted September 20, 2010 As Mr. Pants I suppose I should throw my hat in the ring too. Like Murdoc life got in the way and I deserted the game. That was a real shame because I was in a decent position when I left. I played the game like a psychopathic dictator. I wanted to practice brinksmanship, but only really ever made threats against the Capt. I was pleasantly surprised everyone didn't overrun me early on, I was certain the game was finished for me when we first started I was dead center of the map.

jennoa Posted September 20, 2010 When you left the alliance against the Thinking Machines nearly collapsed! Yeah, I would have given you guys a warning, but I literally turned my computer off, went to bed, and then never sat in front of it again for about three weeks.

SometingStupid Posted September 21, 2010 Well, I'm really interested in this now, half because it's my kinda game, and half because I barely know anybody here and it looks like a great community experience, please make another oh lords of RTS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emonk Posted September 23, 2010 Well, I'm definitely interested, but I'm going out of town later today until Sunday and I don't know if I'll have internet access. If a game does get started, put me in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pabosher Posted September 23, 2010 Thanks Murdoc for trying to help me. Appreciated it. Sorry Chris for making you think I was trying to attack you. I just wanted that one star Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy42 Posted September 24, 2010 I'm happy to host, if someone else wants to arrange the player-list and name-swapping. 12 players, standard settings okay with everyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SometingStupid Posted September 24, 2010 Sounds good to me, I like standard, I've deliberately been putting off playing this game so that the experience will be totally new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irishjohn Posted September 25, 2010 Yup, I'm down for the next game too if there's room. Maybe there'll be two games next? I played a game early on, before all the randomizing of names and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hero Protagonist Posted September 26, 2010 Unfortunately I can't jump in the next one, otherwise I'd offer to host to return the favor. Maybe I can help out for NP6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joflar Posted September 30, 2010 I'd like to play! If you need a host I still have Bounty points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SGP Posted October 1, 2010 I'd like to play! If you need a host I still have Bounty points. Same here. I think smaller galaxies are better but that's just me. Less of the end-game draggggggggggggggggggggggggg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SometingStupid Posted October 3, 2010 Go ahead, make the thread. It's probablies the easiest way to get more people too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted October 12, 2010 I think I might be just about ready for another game, if one gets started and there's space for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SometingStupid Posted October 12, 2010 I think just making a new thread would be the easiest way to get the numbers in, it also clarifies it. I think we just need to sort out a host and we're sorted right. Lobotomy volunterred if there's no objections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted October 13, 2010 I'm literally on a computer for twenty minutes a day so this could be awesome if there is a free spot, but Ill bow out if someone wants it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SometingStupid Posted October 17, 2010 Shall I make a thread? I'm going to get some credits for another forum that I'm on and would hate them to go to waste, so I can sort out all that stuff, we can get a player list up too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
