I did no such thing. Most games don' normally last this long (going by most recent history). I will come up with a solution that will determine the winner. That will be some variation of lives left, players left, grid, assets, ect. I do not have a time frame either to make this determination but would let the game go on until the 6 month point before it came to that.

Unless the 2 captains can agree on something prior o that.

I am to guess the Sysop made no rule or end date on how to end this game? I thought that was pretty much standard anymore? Oh well good luck to who ever the victor!


Any decision made by anyone outside the players based on anything not stated before the start of the game will be null and void. And I for one will not agree to it. Only both teams, in full agreement, can decide on any changes to the rules and parameters of the game.
So in this case we either play on or agree to a tie....

You can if all remaining players agree to the change. ;)


This win is going to be so sweet! No changes!


Too bad you will not be in the game to see it...;)

Thats your opinion. I say we have already won. This game is like a heavy weight fight, we have landed the most punches and been the ones being the most aggressive, as the underdogs we have put up one hell of a fight and the right thing for you guys to do is be good sports about it, no matter what the outcome, give us some credit, it's been one hell of a game.

On what do you base that you have already won? We have more players left with more remaining deaths. We have planets and are making much money. We have resources, freedom of movement, and are motivated to win....
Am I missing something?

See... :lol:
Yet no you haven't lande the most punches and if the sever had not gone down and turned off 3 of our defensive scripts the game would already be over.
90% of our deaths s far came from us being aggressive.
while only 80% of yours were from aggressive moves.

We are giving you credit. The out come is a stail mate no matter how you look at it. you guys don't lose for the first time ever. good job. However it's not yet a win, sorry.


ALL I am going to point out is that all summer when you have gotten the upper hand on us we conceded the game. even when many of us still had deaths. but it was clear you had won so it was time to move on.(granted a few times when we knew you had won we kept the game going a few days extra for training).

The Fact is how ever it happened we took your base once and ran you out of another. out right Eliminated two of you from the game. have podded two more since then. we now control the major part of the grid.

Look I know its not easy to admit you lost when you have gotten so use to winning. you come to expect it. but its time for you to do the right thing and end it. Thanks for reading.


Star, if you ever get us into a position like we had you guys, we will concede. But you are a looong way from that.
What you don't have is all of our planets (lvl 6) and our vast reservers of cash. If you think gridding at a rate of 1 fig per min is going to win this game, think again... Fact is, you can't invade. You cannot withstand the casualties. Your team would be desimated. And we still have freedom of movement just like you do.
It looks to me, unless you do something really stupid, that this game is a tie.

Nope, my guys are still refusing to accept a stalemate. Keep trying to hit them pgridding! :)

Actually, we have hit them pgridding. Got to a point that you guys were pgridding figs with no adjacent so we could not launch...
If we have to shoot 100 to hit once, we will.... Nothing else to do...

The last I saw we had 57% of the grid, and you could not touch one of our figs without getting photoned, we on the other hand just cut through your grid like a warm knife through butter.

You do realize we took 3 bases from you guys a total of 22 cits right? Up untll I was SD you had less then 50% grid. As far as assets go you have no clue what's in our bank.

I think I was running circles around you guys when photoning and still would be had there not been a Death limit. BTW my ping had nothing to do with it.

Then when we own 99.9% of the grid and the majority of the assets, then what?.

You can't actually own that much grid in this game ( I hope I don't have to explain). Based on what we have(still growing) that your team does not have the deaths to take you question can not happen. Again after all the games I have seen played out, this one is stail.

We're not accepting a stalemate, how many times do you have to be told? We'll sit this out until you quit or TBH calls it based on assets.. etc.

We aren't offering one... don't worry no one going to quit.

LOL that's what a stalemate is silly.

TBH can't call it base on assets... Maybe future games you will request a point system.

So are you guys actually going to play or shall we call this one stail?

Haven't seen you hit a fig in over a week.

No one on your team can play offense... and you just turtling playing pdrop and fotons.

At this point we might have to do the same.

What would you like to do?


See those question marks there.... I'm asking if we should, not stating it is... and up to the point of me getting "knocked out" you guys wouldn't hit a fig.

I don't believe it's up him to make a call like that. I drought he would any how.

Actually the hosting sysop has all the right to make any decision that he feels is neccessary. That's the way ALL tournaments have been ran throughout the history of this game. The problem starts when a sysop can't or won't make a decision because they are too afraid of making someone mad. Sysops like The reverend, The Bounty Hunter, Vulcan, Eleq, River Rat, Stonewall, Thrawn, etc. were always able to get the job done and make the correct decisions. I'm sure many of you don't remember some of those names, but they are all Tradewars legends in my opinion. I may not have always agreed with some of the decisions that all of those sysops made, but I always accepted it and moved on. Anyone that wouldn't accept a decision made by The Bounty Hunter isn't much of a player in my opinion.

It's always nice to have someone not playing bring their opinion to the table posting in the wrong forum about a game they weren't willing to come to from the start.
