Hate Roads - What are They Good For?

[Flubber]

Now you show your lack of knowledge-- A 2 player duel of say 150 years could be easily played in less than 3 months -- 2-3 turns a day EACH is common and I have several 4 player games (with the right opponents,) in which I can see the turn twice in a day even into the 2160s .

I also have games that take over a year but thats a matter of having the right opponents.

. . . and your posting is improving -- no insults this time. . .

Blockhead, just for my curiosity, how long does you MP game normally last and which year would it be? You know if you were not talking about taking the entire 24 hours for 2 games you might be able to find somebody who is willing to do a online game with you.

[blockhead]

when you cant make time just for 1 game then you are an idiot (when you can play several times a day turns in pbem, you can surely sometimes play online)
you are just giving some stupid nonsense that you cant play online, almost it seems like you are afraid

btw i am probably going to be without inet in 1 month, so i even cant play pbem now

I am curious blockhead -- With no online community, is there a standard rulset that you use to deal with the various game bugs-- Please post the rules you play by-- it should only take a few seconds to paste them into a post here

Hmm-- 2 insults that time-- they really add nothing to any points you are trying to make

[Snowflake]

blockhead, seriously, no matter how good you are, you need to learn to talk in a respectful manner, before you can go anywhere in any community.

[blockhead]

my MP games last to less than 2250 i guess and it takes usualy 1 or 2 nights (on large map)

i do not play by any special rule set, because most players know bugs (there was some page but i forgot) (but now there's lack of players, so i started to look for some here)
the only special rule we made was to not use probe teams when pacted, and not using bugs is obvious thing

NO the difference is flexibility-- I often PBEM when home alone with my young son. I play while he sleeps. I can leave the turn to attend to him and come back hours later to finish-- IP does not give that flexibility-- and there is no way this game ever gets priority over his needs

I can also PBEM short turns early in the morning or on my lunch break at work. The early turns are less than 10 minutes each.

how can i respect someone who is unfair and talking nonsense? i am not disgusted only because of roads but because of early SPs thread too

Believe me, there are more you need to learn before you decide somebody is unfair or something is nonsense. If you don't start to learn how to listen and talk to others, you'll soon find you are going to be left with no friends, and no rivals perhaps for that matter, and you'll be left behind by others while you are thinking that you are the best.

SO 150 turns

lets assume the first 50 turns can be done in an hour

and the next 50 in 10 minutes per turn so thats 500 minutes or 8 hours 20 minutes

From year 100, my turns will usually take 30 minutes each as I move multiple formers, crawlers and units, check infiltration on people etc-- That would take about 25 hours

How do you play fast enough to accomplish this in 2 nights-- Do you play silmultaneous moves?


Also-- if there is no ruleset, is there agreement on issues such as the stockpile bug, reverse engineering and upgrading in the DW-- people play those different ways sometimes here and thats why I asked what you do for rules--

stupid ppl and teachers think so.., but i have wasted a lot of time in my life with stupid ppl

if you are unable to play online for no reason, let's set up pbem game, but i would not enjoy it so much
tell me if there are any special rules and how do i comunicate with human players

i forgot to tell i am the fastest player (i am not so fast now as i was, but still i can say i am fastest)
we play simul and when war we usualy reload
when it takes 30 minutes, it does mean you are especialy slow, but i dont care
tell me what ruleset you have and i will tell you, but i always play fair and do not use bugs and if i find other ppl using them, i usualy quit the game (only stupid idiots are using bugs)

The standard ruleset "poly rules" are in several places in this forum and each individual game adopts them or modifies them as they see fit. They appear at the start of many of the threads in the MP forum

Communication is not permitted ( usually) until you meet in the game and then you do trades and talk via the commlinks but detailed negotiation is done by email.

Oh and I gave my reason-- other than work, I can hardly even call any discrete time period my own. Pbem is flexible. IP is not . . . I can't expect an opponent to wait for what could be 10 minutes or could be 4 hours. THats my reason. I really don't feel the need to give you but gave it anyway

On the fainess thing . . if someone does not want to play with you thats just tough. If thats the most unfair that life is to you, you are fortunate indeed. I do find it amusing as an employed married professional, to be repeatedly insulted by someone that must be a child.

[Snowflake]

It's ok. You'll grow up. And you will not have to deal with teachers then.

As for fastest player, I'm sure not having crawlers may save you some time, not managing each base may save you more time, and if you are defeated early by those ones who spend time to do those things, well that definitely saves time.
