  • hmmm................

    I don't like talking about my strategy, but I suspect my position is not as weak as it once was. Whether my neighbors have similar strengths that will allow them to triumph over me (not the least being my total locan of focus on SP's), or whether I can slingshot out into the lead is something I really can't predict.
    I'd say if Reggy wants to go for UN Peacekeeper role, good for him. Play the game how you like. Spell your name out in roads if you want. Whatever makes it amusing for you.
    I do think I have a shot at it, though. My toughest problem lies in the fact that I'm really quite loyal to Reggy because his assistance saved me in the beginning, when I had lost a bunch of cities to mindworms (for a while, I really thought they were going to kill off my faction!) and later against the squids on my home continent. So that loyalty means that even though I could win the Planetary Governorship (or at least have a really good shot at it), or do other things that might help me and harm my ally, I am loath to use them. Shrug. I'm really not sure how to handle it, because I usually just play to win, but I also really like all my fellow players.
    I would like to bring up another thing about play-style, though. PB's. I'm a builder. I like building up my nation. If anyone decides they want to use PB's, PLEASE lets announce it first, at least. Big wet holes in my nation do not appeal to me right now (though they may later, if everybody feels like it).

    • Being a sub. I admit I have found it difficult to get into this game. Still things are going OK at the moment.

      Reggy: Play however you want. I'm not sure how such a stance will work in practice though. Does this mean I can probe you for tech & credits with impunity? Does this mean if I want to go for a conquest victory that you won't fight back?

      • Well, this idea of mine has raised some good questions. I think it would be best if I stay the course rather than play the "UN" role officially. Of course there is nothing that says that I can't do it unofficially. So I'll stay as a regular player.

        My original idea was well intended, but probably too hard to carry out fairly. Playing this game is more important than winning it for me. I thought I would test the water to see if this would spice things up.

        Thanks to all of you for your input. I've enjoyed this game very much so far and those playing in it.

        Back to killing aliens!!!!!!

          We continue to build our infrastructure. Our first battleship was just launched.

          On another note (off game here) I just picked up Civ3. It looks good so far, but one big disappointment is NO multiplayer!

          • On. Killed three 3-res garrisons. Unfortunately there's 3 more to go.

              With great Joy our people have worked upon our infrastructure, installing more of he equipment needed to settle this land quickly and efficiently.

              With great Sadness we transmit this message to our comrade Keygen, whose Network meltdown is well known. We pray for his quick repair, as we are quite enjoying this game, and some of our plans are finally reaching fruition.

                • Our nation is firmly behind Consciousness and their war with the Aliens. The war is a just war.

                  On that note, we wish to let all nations know that we are building planet busters that are for defence only. Pray we never have to use them!

                  • While we have the utmost confidence in our Brother, Reggy, and his peaceful intent, we fear we cannot stand behind a leader who threatens the peace of the world with Planet Buster missiles.
                    We call for an election.

                    Current results:
                    Black Sunrise: 368 votes.
                    Reggy: 0 votes.

                    We shall see whether the people of the world support your policies, Brother.

                    Again, let us state that in no way do we consider our neighbor anything less than trustworthy. He has been a good friend. But for now, perhaps new leadership is required.

                      It appears we have taken control of the Presidency. Efforts shall be put into place to ensure it does not pass from our hands.

                      First, order all garrison units equipped with increased police abilities. Strong control over our people, and their opinion, is key to retaining a true democracy.

                      Next, implements plan [Terranx fault] sh#t! Black screen! Reboot, immediately!

                      Sir, all systems back on line. Everything appears normal.

                      Let us hope so. Implement plan Monopole Backbone. We will have a unified Empire, and we will have it before the decade is out!

                            Note: A pirate base fell to the caretakers. Was a little base in the lower right of the mini map.
