Re: Starburst Round 11

Trying to find a balance is the thing. The competitive players naturally want to be #1. It's why we play the game. Many so-called relaxed for fun players can tend to slow and drag on a family by not caring about the ranks.
If you don't care about ranks why are you playing? Without a goal I could see why this game is a waste of time.
If Supernova is for SS play then why not SS play there- is that not what it is ment for?
And since Starburst is a Family play galaxy then play family style and expect it.
There should be a chaos galaxy- a 3rd galaxy where peeps are expected to play Fam and/or SS style.
As it is in Starburst it is a challenge to a leader to find the balance but then that's why most leaders lead- we like the challenge.
In a competitive fam, If you know you are going against the majority, you should expect some static.
Not saying you can't play- just saying your presence should benefit the family goals in competitive play.
It's more fun to have fun while being #1. Otherwise the true players quit- historically. And I like the looks of my imperial history when I do well.

@Zanharim: Your leader should give you a shot and see what you can do. If your style of SS play benefits the fam as a whole then there should be little problem. Just keep in mind your leader should be making decisions based on the fam as a whole and what it's goals are above all. Good Luck, I think you 'll do well- I kept an eye on you last round cool

And for the record, in general- getting pounded on all or 1/2 the round in a small fam is not fun- it's frustrating.
Being a small fam and fighting it to the tops of the ranks at EOR- now that's Priceless

Re: Starburst Round 11

Me personally Zanharim I'm not a big fan of people playing SS in SB, BUT if that is there choice so be it everyone has the right to play how they want and if your leader you should be able to work with any SS player, I was In sword family and when Zanharim said he was going SS so be it he still talked in the forum and said he would always help do any opps that we need, and in turn we said if he ever needed anything all he had to do was ask it's all about give and take tongue

Re: Starburst Round 11

@SWagga,

I agree with you. But I have to agree to disagree. With barely 100 players still playing IC, this attitude need to go. We desperately need more players and if we keep up with this attitude, we are pushing them away from this game. Just saying.

Honestly, I think two galaxies are not enough. I really don't play Supernova galaxy because i don't like playing solo. I like team coooperation and team work game. But we have one regular galaxy. Ugh. :-(

Re: Starburst Round 11

Plus, if it is not fun game, why do players bother to play anyway?

Re: Starburst Round 11

I don´t want to play in an important role, because I always keep taking the responsibilities too seriously after a while. Especially when ppl are nice and supportive. Then I feel I owe them or to fam.

Then I suddenly realise I am seting up my alarm to wake me up in the middle of the night to send aid, so someone else can build what they need to build or to trigger fleets or whatever.

I don´t really have any middle ground with this. It is like on/off switch with me.

Thus I have chosen SS way of playing. Then I don´t have to expect ppl to rely on me that much, but I can help out when it suits me.

Yes, I have problems...

Re: Starburst Round 11

Cloud you are a stupid idiot! Shut up !
you were in my fam and you said you don't want to use the family theme and if i don't like this thing i say to you and you leave. You don't want to play in a family and are better alone.
after i posted the msg betwen you and me you decided to stay and keep playing. But you didn't agree from the start with me as leader.
With players like you yea.....if i was lee i wouldn't play too. And now if we were in the same fam.....you got killed for being an idiot!

@Swagga and Dimpel thank you for agree smile

OT
idk why so many people think SS'ing means flying solo all round/ being equal to having 1 family member less vs other fams. I've been leader a lot of rounds and especially new players tend to play solo from the start on choose to ignore messages. Its up to the leaders to get them to respond and explain them more about the game, sent them some aid to help them out, even when they say they want to play on their own.

Later in round they see that the players in the fambank-team grow faster, get more aid and more planets and don't have to wait half a day to get something build. Most of the fam rounds that I won and where I was wearing the pink, I ended the round with multiple SS'ers. Infra wise everybody should be able to go SS if they want to. In the (defense-) part of war, I only ask them to help out with retakes and opps when needed/asked to help defend his/her family members.

On the theme part:
Lotsa players start out with a pick a theme topic, while they skip the part to ask and check if people even want to play by a theme. You rarely end a theme round with 100% players adjusted to theme. This because you always get randoms later in round where most that want their names changed, don't seem to be able to find a mod within 48h to do it for them.

TBOOOOOOOOOOo

Modestus Experitus

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Re: Starburst Round 11

SS can be 2 ways....getting involved with fam problems but building on you're own resources.
or don't involve in family problems and make everything how you want (SN way).
