Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

I'm in!

and honestly if you wanna quit the round. dont pass all your planets up. just ask a mod to delete you. it makes an unfair advantage for the rest playing still.

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

I don't think mods would do that tongue

If someone makes someone else feel like giving up or quitting, then they shoulda killed em betterer!

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

i think he means just in general. Like "oh my, all this awesome IC playing is taking up my candy crusher (insert other ridiculously bad phone app here) time... i should quit IC, wonder if Devilz wants all my planets"

This kind of stupidity exists. I've seen it.

Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea. For the Devil sends the beast with wrath. Because he knows the time is short. Let him who have understanding, reckon the number of the beast. For it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty six.

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

Ah ok.

Yea, that's pretty retarded.  But how can we stop it?

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

By giving those planets to me... if i were playing sad

I once prayed to god for some planets, but quickly found out he didnt work that way

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

Okay, I have now joined the galaxy for this purpose.

If you're quitting - let me know yikes

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

Torqez, Examples are when Hydro got blocked for a day or 2, it let people just portal near him, so when he became unblocked one person took him out easily.

When the bug gave the guy tons of stuff, he undefended his planets.

In short, If you block someone, make it permanent for orion, otherwise it can ruin other peoples rounds. If anyone benefits from a bug without meaning to and it ruins their round, remove them (I know its unfortunate for them, but otherwise it ruins it for everyone else).

And this more of an open to everyone in the galaxy, if you are giving up on playing because your bored, ask a mod to remove the account.

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

For a blocked person, I can understand.  Shouldn't really be temp blocks in an hc gal, that makes sense.  But blocks are account-wide, so not sure how that works.  Perhaps just remove them from the gal - that could be done.

Doing that for a 'bored' person though - not sure I agree with it.  If someone loses motivation during a round, then it's up to whoever is in best position to capitalise on it.  I mean, it's hardcore afterall.

Having said that, it shouldn't be like how Flymzee said - that's specifically giving advantage to a specific player or so.  Not sure how to stop that though.  It's not new either.  Plenty of hc rounds before, if people decide to 'quit' they turn to their friends and give up the planets or something.

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

I think for the temp blocks thats a good solution.

Your right, no real way to stop the rest. Guess its up to the rest of the field to notice, and fight over them.

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

yes this is why i bringing it up, i had 3 people pass or try to pass me planets, this past round.

but zidi the hydro thing was different, he was blocked for maybe 20 hours. i had a deal with him not to attack until final 10. so i guess he never checked my spread(while i portal share). 2 days after the block i started to attack, and he tried to make it look like i was IA-ing this is after i had already ran his portal defence and sent raid to some not all of his planets.. so he demode defenses on all remaining planets.
what i did was let everyone i cloud know of his plan so i wasn't the only one who got all his planets... cause yes when i took down 2nd place. he totaly ment for me to do that tongue

i even passed off some of the extra bounty i got cause i thought i was in advantage now, that a 2nd person has now messaged people saying more free planets.

and then 1 more time with cameroons, i just happened to be at the right place at the right time.

@ zidi, the first knockout round i saw people passing 100s of planets to people, but i had 0 speed, i never got anyones planets. this time i got lucky.

but this is why i bring it up cause it happens way to often, in a game where the overall outcome is planets, people cant just  pass people free planets, you might as well put the delete option in.

I was told he was blocked for 5 days, so treated him as such.

Funny, cos the whole reason it was removed from HC galaxies was from player feedback.  People were upset at others retaking planets and then deleting when they knew the cause was lost, with the planets.

So yea, that's not a solution - perhaps some more ideas?

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

remove all noobs who didnt laser/expo after 48h tongue

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

that is how i gain planet nightwish wink


Torqez i've thought about it a lot, can't think of anything that helps the situation. one thing mods cant account for, people will be people.

maybe remove the function that lets you demolish all lasers/portals at once. at least make it so much effort for them to do so that they don't want to do it!

aktually the delete option was removed bkause some players whined about their targets retaking and deleting with the planets. And then you want HK, but that's also part of HK rules, a HK deletion, that was removed.
If only attakers kould plan their raids better to keep the planets and avoid retakes, like it's always been. Players were given the option to pre-send a fleet to HP, but even this did not help them to do proper plannings.

So it was the lak of attaking skills what forzed the modteam to remove the delete option (shoulda never been removed) and now you got it bak on your faze  tongue

lol

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

Did I win yet?

True LEGEND

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

i think the delete with planets should be an option, it is HC isnt it?

just saying might be better then people gaining 300 planets from people giving up.

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

I might join for a final fling, I'm not that good at SS so it wouldn't be a long round for me lol smile

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

PvC,

pretenders-

Pinwheelforever- entering the competition as a PW noob, and no SS skills lets see if this noob can pick up on some of the early things needed to survive smile imo outlook is not good, expect an early downfall here, pretender

Kuwait- after a strong showing last round, can this banker turning attacker make a repeat to the top 5? my guess is no! tongue haha he got a easy start last time with lots of people with no lasers, smile and his poor diplo wont help him out in this chaos. early exit tongue prove me wrong.

Mace-

lol Attacks Zidi and fails smile

Mizzle- Pretender need i say more? lol last round this guy made it though first day of attacks with no lasers... haha i dont see this happening again... or maybe we are all just as noob as him smile

Banksy- 2nd best map location. but will he know how to use it? lol its banksy probably not smile i still see a modest top 25 finish smile

Poley-

lol he probably is playing and will be tricked into trusting a neigbour and will be double crossed early and be knocked out tongue Pretender


Contenders,

8016- not sure who this is, but they are one lucky SOB. by far the best spot on the map with many systems near him, this guy can make it to the end if he plays his cards right.

NightWish- after a strong showing in the last knockoutround, you can only expect the same.

Render- will be trouble for anyone in his path, look for him still to be standing come final 10.

Flashy- always a contender imo, probably hoping for less rough start then the previous round, i look for this guy to make it to the final 10 easy

Zidi- contender wink short and sweet

Torqez- after seeing some of his SS skills working in Tri- i look for him to make a splash in this knockout round.


lol who else is in?

Re: Orion PVC round 2 take 2

Reinstating the delete button and only make it available to proceed if no incoming/outgoing attacks/hard ops in a certain time period? (24+ ticks). Gives those bored the option to delete without hurting others efforts too easily? If youre portalling in the area, you can nuke with 1 agent if you felt they were looking to delete before capitalising!
