AKO Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 I am just wondering if there are some wars going on. Looking at the board, WKE and Mad Martin are fighting. Anybody else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMartinB Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 My option would be different: 1. At war with a possible dropped player (might be live). First initial feints of combat. But I know where his homeworld is and he doesn't know where mine is. 2. In COmbat test mode with another player. We discovered this turn that the extra tonnage on a pathfinder (sensor etc..) actually help in combat. (absorbing damage) So...IN contact with 2 players.

WKE235 Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 I am also in contact with 2 players. Only one seems hostile (NSI). Unfortunately, I cannot tell if the player is active or dropped as there has been no repsonses to any messages. Nothing. Zip. Privacy is turned on so nothing there. Given Pete has responded that the AI for dropped positions will keep building and occasionally moving ships, all of my evidence of the player being active could be circumstancial.

MadMartinB Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 WKE - My dropped/Active has a privacy option that shows a Rolling Thunder Address. I am not sure if a dropped empire with privacy set would come back as private or default to the GSL.... On the other hand I could be fighting Russ....and kicking his heiny (OK...my undefended ship lost to his fleet but Victory is in my hands!)

WKE235 Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 The only proof of possible player action for NSI is 1) A Cruiser jumped into Carissy space and destroyed a Pathfinder sitting there. 2) On Action 1 immediately the next turn, the NSI Light Cruiser moved to the warp point where my damage crusier was sitting. 3) After my first Pathfinder vs Cruiser engagement, the fleet on that side of Diocles built up to be 2 Crusiers and one Scout with an Explorer (to look over the Class D warp point is my guess). All possible player actions. BUT, also within the bounds of well programmed AI action. The immediate response on action 1 is very easy to program for AI (all events in the previous turn are queued on a priority basis, a battle would be highest, and so the action chosen on round 1 is very possible). ALL I WANT FOR X-MAS IS THE TRUTH ABOUT THE NSI (Or a mail address / phone number)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacBeth Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 "I am just wondering if there are some wars going on. Looking at the board, WKE and Mad Martin are fighting. Anybody else?" Funny you should ask: I HAVE BEEN ATTACKED WITHOUT PROVOCATION!!!!!! Was it Sakarissa, that reknowned warmonger? NO! (Although no doubt a fleet of cuisinarts are on the way.) Was is the Lords of Terror? Silent, but waving a banner prominently featuring a skull. NO! It was a GSL member, SCIANT! Wasting two of my Pathfinders as a Christmas present. He, of course, claims it was a big mistake. But....... --MacBeth Royal Illuminati Protectorates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKE235 Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 There's been 4 votes for ongoing wars. So WKE + NSI is one and MM + Mindspheres the second (since NSI and Mindsphers will not vote, it's only two votes). Who are the others????

MadMartinB Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Maybe McBeth since he says the GSL attacked him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowKitsune Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Maybe McBeth since he says the GSL attacked him.... Not the GSL, but a member of the GSL, who also said it was a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakarissa Actually Hitler never claimed any territorial grab to be a mistake. If the SCINAT had told MacBeth that they needed 'living space' then your Hitler analogy would apply.
