Supernova: MelvinWillRock (#9782) took 3 planets off Dipem (#9826).

never say never.you hit me i bite u

I think I jumped way too big.  Oh well, no one seems to be attacking me any more.  Might as well jump mid game than late.  Who cares after the round is over?  As it stands, I can have 4 days of completely mundane and mostly nonexistent fame!!

geez this galaxy got even worse than my last SD

full of illegal aliances, players playing in the same fam in starburst and helping here. is kinda lame that this problem isn't solved because of mods being affraid of loosing players, but is a problem that have to be solved.

as for the game, and this galaxy, i start to regret that i started playing  again and believe that something changed.

Cheers to all!

lol, i love how cos your round is not going well, you think it's the mods fault.

Illegal Alliances, sure, they may exist - what do you propose to do about them?  How do you identify them? How do you police them? What can be done?

So easy to criticize and say what's wrong with the game, without offering up legitimate solutions.

Oh, I see.  So because of an action a Mod 10 years ago didn't take, the current mods take blame for similar things?

Wait, so this is a bug now?

Sure, why don't we also make multiying legal too?  That way we can all have 10 accounts and do what we want.  No, this isn't the solution - but at least its an idea.

Why don't you expect this anyway?  It's a game - and if you're doing well, or moving strategically then obviously people will get against you.  Having diplomacy is part of the game.

Yes, them doing it with coordination, is against the rules, but this isn't always easily proven.  So not much mods can do.  If you have a solution, then lets hear it - rather than blaming Mods.

Also, we "have" had illegal alliances permissible in some HC rounds before - just to try it.

Sorry if I come across a little harsh.  It's just tiresome when people blame mods for everything.  Especially ethical behaviour - which is hard to control.  And not even sure if possible or that we even should.

@ Torqez multy and illegal aliances are 2 different things!! i don't agree with multy, but if illegal aliances is something that you can't control, or make something about it, why keep it legal and have players dissapointed when they are in this situation?
And dipplomacy have nothing to do with illegal aliances and you know it.
Render have a point, but they don't go after you in the same time , helping in systems where you have problems. it is another thing when you fight on 2 different systems, and when you have both on the same system, and 1 is 6 ticks away

About what others mods done, since i rejoined (2 rounds) i made 2 reclamations about illegal aliances. nothing was made, i didn't even got an responze: hey idiot there was nothing suspect. this is my problem.
And yea, i see it as a bug. if you don't like it call it how you want.

will talk with an old friend specialized in cisco to see how this can be solved.

And being harsh it is not a solution. I understand this is a frustrating job, but it is not a solution.

I agree that policing illegal agreements is impossible, and don't think that needs to be a focus of the mods and developers.  Personally, I think the round has been fun though after playing to this point I have a few suggestions:

1.  The map was too big.  We need more players or a smaller galaxy.
2.  Find target market.  I have heard this is supposed to be a galaxy for new players.  I have also heard that this is a SS Hardcore galaxy.  First the decision has to be made which it is and then the follow through of changing rules to reflect should take place. 
3.  Eliminate PNAPS?  Especially for the size of the player base in the galaxy, I think permanent naps can decrease interest in the game later round.  If the top few empires are PNAP, they will continue to attack lower ranked and not have the fun battles against each other.  One problem I have was though I'm all over the map, I have no shares with anyone in my range.  I only had one good war (that I jumped way too much for, but that's another story).

All this said, again I have had a fun time and met some good people still playing this game.  I think the race being the same and having access to a market while being SS wasn't bad at all.

Cool thanks - we need feedback to see how we can tweak the next Supernova round.  I've heard from a few people that the map was too big - so we can change that.

RE: Target Market - this is always a dilemma.  We wanted to have a galaxy for SS players in a non HC round, so you can't get completely decimated.  So we still want it competitive too.  But we want 'some' kind of protection for newer players, which is where the "cores" come in. 

RE: PNaps - similar to illegal alliances.  We have them ingame to stop the dishonourable "omg we had a pnap but u attacked and totally killed me" type things.  If we didn't - I'm sure people would still make agreements outside of the game NAP system - again, hard to police.
