Re: Starburst Round 16

It was a master stroke lol, and exactly what the rule was brought in to do, create some Chaos. You haven't got it yet, it's a game, Colorado's reputation proceeds him, and you guys made him leader? That's Colorado's Modus-Operandi!!! lol The reason why some people leave is because they take it too seriously.

In-case you don't know what Modus-Operandi means....

mo·dus op·e·ran·di
ˌmōdəs ˌäpəˈrandē/
noun
noun: modus operandi; plural noun: modi operandi

    a particular way or method of doing something, especially one that is characteristic or well-established.
    "the volunteers were instructed to buy specific systems using our usual modus operandi—anonymously and with cash"
    synonyms:    method (of working), way, MO, manner, technique, style, procedure, approach, methodology, strategy, plan, formula; formalpraxis
    "his modus operandi: study the market, follow the trends and patterns, then make an informed decision"
        the way something operates or works.

Re: Starburst Round 16

haha no, technically they could have IA'd with anyone they wanted to, then attack you whenever they wanted to, or conversely, plan to attack you whenever it was of benefit to them, you see there are no rules against it in a Chaos round lol lol You got schooled! big_smile

not sure if it was the new morale system or not but I felt that there was a lot of parity in the planet numbers and the attacks were not as overwhelming to a family as in the past.....bounce back seemed to happen faster....paying morale for ops was a good inclusion I believe as well.


re this past round

fam 99 - water wolf

family was pretty much dysfunctional with different strategies being followed by different players and not many on same page...took almost 3/4 of the round to get some sense of flow going, inactivity also played a major stumbling block.  in past rounds (why I think morale system worked) we would have been reduced to 2-300 planets and festered at the bottom of the rankings all round.

We did not do a lot of attacking other then clearing systems of newly explored planets and maybe a couple of attempts to fend of other family attacks....so not hawkish in any way...

regarding controversy of late hits by allies

had same option to hit 97....but didn't due to what line I would of crossed by doing so.....questions of trust and honesty between players and I know they put as much time into game as me, so why would I want to leave them with such a bad taste in their mouth or feeling about the game....when I want them back to play again......so no I don't understand jumping your allies at the end of any round, even if you want to call it chaos.....UNLESS agree to by both parties but then...it's not jumping your allies.....its having fun........

Re: Starburst Round 16

@cjay92 I can see your pretty up set about all this I'm not going to say it was right or wrong but it was a chaos round! It was also a test round for this new morale formula which I think everyone is forgetting!

On that note watch your language please wink

Re: Starburst Round 16

If people don't like the Chaos system we can definitely go back to the normal system where working with any family but your own in any way whatsoever results in a block for all parties involved.

Re: Starburst Round 16

I somewhat doubt there's any truth to the cheating mod theories, as it takes all the pleasure out of winning if you cheat, and it's generally very bad for the game so surely the people who give up their time to mod this game would care a lot about that.

Re: Starburst Round 16

Once again you ppl, keep missing the point. Once again most of u seem to rallie around those that do dishonourable acts, boost up their ego, slap them on the back and say " job well done"
Once again we have new/old players leaving the game because of these types of gamers, and you continue to think all is fine with it. You think because it's only a game that all dishonourable acts are perfectly all right when it suits you, and not how it hurts the game.
You seem to think well the game has nothing to do with RL, but in truth it does! It shows the type of person you really are, if your willing to lie, cheat or steal from your Allie, what does it really say about you as a person, and what kind of friend you would be. Not one I would have, or want.
Ppl play games to escape reality, to get away from the crap that is happening around them, and emerce them selfs into a world that should be black and white, not the fifty different shades of grey it turns out to be.

When you allie with a family and stay allied with them all round, it says your trust worthy, you've got our back. Hell you were even let to expo through out our core on this alliance
But to turn around just as the game comes to an end and backstab those that excepted this trust, is dishonourable

When are you going to learn that this type of gaming should not be acceptable, when are you going to understand that it was this type of action, and other dishonourable acts that has killed this game off and will continue too! It always seem ppl will always blame someone else for there acts, or use some other reason, rather than own up to the dishonourable acts they commit within the game.
Why is that?
why do you feel you always have to blame the other guy/gal, rather than take the responsibility of your action. Do you think if you do we will think any less of you. You already did the act, we already think your a dick, but you know, most ppl would take another look at you as a person by excepting the blame for your action.

As for this posting, and if we use Undead reasoning

We all know of mods in the past that have done wrong within the game,etc...
So they are all guilty by default, guilty by association!

And as for my post about the fact that Undead is an mod and have his mod status removed for his action. Mods should be held accountable for their dishonourable actions within the game even more than any other player, for they are the ones ppl are suppose to turn to when acts such as this one or other dishonourable acts are done. NOT LEAD THE PACK!

Re: Starburst Round 16

So, when do imperial histories get updated, or where can we find EOR player rank list? I played Resourcer / HC SS as Camaar this round want to see what my eor fleet jump NW was comparable to our fam's fambank-jumped main attacker.

I doubt I was able to build a bigger fleet than the fam did their main attacker (market gains were pathetic near eor).  I was expecting far better.

Had the endurium and iron to jump 4M ground, but just couldn't raise the GC...

Could only build about 1.5M ground.  sad

But I don't think it was too bad for my first attempt playing pure resourcer / HC SS.  Every other time I've played SS with an attacker race, I have switched around mid-round to building CFs (after researching economy, o/c.

Anyway, how can I find out how I ranked in NW compared to fam members?

Agreed.  However, and I can't stress this enough - the intended format of this round was Chaos.  If you, the community, don't want to play with no rules - then let's talk about that. Lets work out a way forwards. Let's discuss updating the rulebook and the possibility of changing how infractions are punished. Let's be proactive. Let's be critical, but provide solutions.

Simply calling for punishment is mob rule, and that's not how we should ever do things.

There seems to be an issue with rankings and the galaxy reset procedure, it is being looked at and hopefully we'll be able to recover them. Will keep you all updated

Hah!  Conspiracy!

They want to hide the fact my SS fleet jump (although it was less than half as big a jump as I expected it would be) put the fam bank system to shame.

Re: Starburst Round 16

That's the point of chaos. If you've got the opportune occasion you take it. Only families. I seen prosper this round was 02'& 03'. 03' b/c they pnap with 98' I believe and 02' for pnap with like 3 different fams. If you've got serious ties with a family you nap. If there honorable or not is a card drawn last if your in love triangle with fam you at least keep one hand free by signing pnap with at least one other party. Being gullible when all rules are forgiven (most rule... it seems) you make the most bizarre outrageous strategy and stick it to 'em. You've got to maintain integrity by showing true sportsmanship by taking a loss with style and showing a little finesse. Not making threats or calling vulgar insults around like tomohawks.
Round before this should have been perfect example. I believe three way nap for most round then eor comes around. We sign pnap other team doesn't. There planet number drops considerably. If anyone asked scorp why his fam finish like that??? Probably strategizing beyond mental capacity for some even with added exp from  played....

One life to live in is all that a person needs. When traveling down a road looking for the ascension to greater things, all that really matters is the way you got to the end, when you reach your final destination did you help or hurt more?

The interface was bugged when the round was reset. Even tho the rankings were clicked to be saved it didnt.  Will see if someone can look into it and get it. It was broken when SB was being reset and then fixed in the middle so it could be finished. Then SN was reset after that and that is why you have those rankings.
