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!



I don't like the idea that the game will end without a clear winner. Changing the settings is the same as changing the determination of the winners. If that is done then this is a different game, not the one I started.
Rules about winner determination has to be stated clearly at the beginning of the game.

You will never win this game. At best you will tie. It's stale and that's all there is to it. We shall just sit it out till the sysop gets tired of us and bangs it. I wont accept changes made after the start of the game. I understand your wanting to. Next year the sysop can add a point system if he likes. Too late for this one.

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.

Might I recommend we eliminate the death limit and finish this game? Otherwise, I will have to wait for fat-finger Star Killer to make a mistake, and that could take forever. :)
IDK, is he even allowed to go forth on his own? :mrgreen:


So who is suggesting that the rules be changed?

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.

I would point out none of those games had a death limit and have a different strategy.

It's not hard to admit a loss when a loss happens... but I see it is very hard for you and/or your team to admit it's a tie based on how this game is set up. If you want to "do the right thing" stop wasting everyone's time and call it what it is... stalemate.

If you would like us to admit a win.. then invade and SD everyone as we have done in every game until now.... oh wait you can't.. and that's the point.

Excuses... you guys used to have 24/7 coverage. You did have one player in the back sector shooting photons, and final was running citkill so there were at least two active scripts running the morning we took your base. I didn't notice the server going down, or my relog script is better than yours.

We own the grid, and the majority of the citadels, we have you outfigged and are closing in.

We have a code "wizzard' on our team, you guys cannot touch his pgridding script. Your team launched 72 photons last night, yet we still gained grid.

We'll keep coming, closing in, taking your ports, starving you out... until you squeal defeat!

The bottom line is this.. had the roles been reversed and you had taken our base ran us out of another knocked two of our players out controlled the majorty of the planets figs and mines..and then where working toward a 100% grid would you be calling for a stalemate now......ummm NO you'd be calling for us to concede..... so there we are.
