Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 52 ~

Hehe, well than it's amazing that a fam which doesn't get into a real war the whole round walks away with highest nw at the end of the round.. something seems to wrong then in that explanation wink  (if you define winning as highest nw that is.. one of the options i'd say, but as it is 'that simple' to win with NW.. maybe should appreciate score more after all?)

note: i'm not favour of playing a whole round without conflicts or whatsoever.. should be about fighting (and those fams should thus win), but can't do any fighting withouth proper infra/economy.

Basic idea of score is good, because it could tell who was good all the time during the round, but as it has it

Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 52 ~

yeah what zan said. tbh, a real winner would be able to get all three categories. but size comes first imo. which all this i guess is just people's opinions.

Lol @ Anarchy, i know that NW does not matter when u look at who did best in a galaxy. If it was so, there would be only exploring, no fighting and 100% infra whoring.

Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 52 ~

@ Anarchy; well seems like that has changed then if this is the current view about EOR jumps in comparison with some years ago!. Good change i'd say.. although the rest of your post is kinda sad and not addressing the other issues I recalled.. just shouting.

Nice post Zanharim! Totally agree with your viewpoint on planets, but even planets have its flaws; on individual player level i.e. if you have large and active fam, could 'jump' someone's planets and from a family viewpoint (which most likely is a more common one); fams with a few active players would have no chance to be able to get high on size, or at least more difficult (especially in war/grabs or becoming easy fat targets), nevertheless they might be performing well regarding NW and such.. although small fams always have difficulties tongue

(one last footnote on this issue; if every fam in the galaxy would go for a blast of an EOR jump, then it would actually means a lot more than it does now, would even increase the complexity of finding optimal performance; when to stop attacking and taking over planets, start saving and stop building, a lot of different issues have to be addressed which require a substational amount of insight, further an additional dimension is created as now you can also beat families on different grounds with whom you are allied or p-napped (although this latter issue can be resolved as well with size) and before i get shooted once again; I agree with Zanharim!)

Nah, I think '77 won the round. I can name 5 families before I come to '70.

Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 52 ~

hello guys! cant you tell what this game is really about? you can be the best player in the world and not place top, thats because its all about working in a "family" without  team members u will never be as good as you "could" be. its just like the old saying," theres no I in team" tongue lol

you dont know me

Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 52 ~

actually given that there is no longer even fams in the hall of fame i think the definition is flawed tongue

well actually i think they should jsut bring back fams in hall of fame.

Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 52 ~

Well I tried to make this round fun wioth constant wars.. I hope this round was okay for atleast most of you.  I know my family was in 3 wars.. which took most of the round.  The last one i dragged on a bit too long but i figure it was better then a stupid EoR jump :x

Re: ~ Pretenders Vs. Contenders Pinwheel Round 52 ~

> Planets are the ultimate goal for this game.

Winning is the ultimate goal of the game.

The family that can survive, and win, the most and largest conflicts
is the obvious winner -- imperial CONFLICT.


Unfortunetly the game itself has been setup so that people reguard winning
as the person who collects the most planets (who cares?) or has the highest
networth (big whoop?).

One day the score will be based on where a family has gotten planets, and
how much fleet they've killed to do so. Then maybe we can get past this
single-war-per-round mentality*.




* Yes, there are obviously more then 1 war per round, but theres only
ever one really good one (if that).


More fighting, but keep it friendly. Theres no reason why you can't be
friends with whoever you are warring...

I am sKoE
Do you know what the chain of command is here? It's the chain I go get and beat you with to show you who's in command.

^^Agreed Morbo, maybe we could make the SCORE more like an ELO ranking.... like in chess and match racing
