A note from Hindenberg:
This was a great game! We both had Sovas but I was able to get a trade network going. That gave me the edge with the economy but Ruin is better at tactics. I got a second cap ship and took out his Sova but he built a TON of frigates and took out my Sova too. He established more colonies that I did and, at that point, I thought I was toast but I was able to get a colony going myself which was just enough to keep up with him. I was able to keep the pirates on him the whole game which also was a help. This was one of the best games I've ever played of SINS.

Thanks for running the tournament!

**All will be meeting at IRC channel #sinstourny

Q: How do i join that?
A: Run stardock central, click chat and connect. Then type in /join #sinstourny. If you use IRC, connect to the irc.stardock.com server and /join #sinstourny. Please use your ingame (ICO) name.

** Connection issues

If a player drops in the first 30min of the round, the game will be restarted. If a player drops any time after 30min he/she will automatically forfeit. If the game is restarted and the same player drops again at any time, he/she will automatically forfeit.

** Complete game crashes

If the whole game crashes, we will deal with it on a case by case basis after watching the replay. We don't expect this to happen as it's historically rare, which is why we decided to go case by case.

Q: Then what do i do, if this happens?
A: Report to #sinstourny with your group

** Teams

Teams have been randomly picked by using an online random number generator. As there are no 3-player maps, we have decided to add Hard AI as players since we didn't want any planets to be free for grabs.

Teams will be LOCKED FFA. To avoid any issues with an alliance accidentally winning the map (sorry, only one player from each game gets to move on to round 2!) and to have everyone on the same footing, after much discussion we decided not to leave teams unlocked. We encourage people to realize that just because the "ally" buttons are disabled does not mean there is no room for any inter-player diplomacy, and we encourage everyone to explore those options.

For any questions or concerns, either post or contact Multianna or Annatar, and we will do our best to address them. But keep in mind, we're pretty set on these rules so unless you discover something horrible that we missed, they are unlikely to change!

Thanks everyone for signing up, and HAVE FUN!



The winner of the 3 rounds will be receiving 5 tokens

Which can be used on TotalGaming.net

Locked FFA?

I'm dissapointed, I thought I would at least be able to get to the second round purely on the ability to manipulate the noobs! Now what do I have to rely on? My ability to build an economy? My map better be large or soo help me I will kills someone.

You still can :P But since only one person moves on to round 2, unlocked FFA would cause all sorts of problems with people forgetting to un-ally and having an alliance win, and all the related goodness that comes with it.

Yea, but how am I supposed to bribe people. You can't transfer resources without a trade agreement.

"Hey don't attack me, I'll give you... something. You know, this is a bad time, why don't you just attack blue."

That doesn't always work you know.

How would you bribe without building an economy in the first place? :P Besides, bribing isn't the only way of diplomacy ;)
Reply #159 from Sins Forums Top
I have the ability to build one, I just don't manage my fleets well. And credits don't seem to protect you very well from lasers and auto cannon fire.

Wait, there is?

In all my FFA games, I've never once been offered a bribe for an alliance :P (And yes, I've been offered alliances by people other than Multi :D)

Really?

For some reason people thin I'm good or something, cause like they either ally with me or team up to take me out.

Its really sad :(

What problems?

Seriously, your logic doesn't make any sense. Two people ally, clean the map out, then hit "continue" (don't forget, you don't have to end the game...) and un-ally. Poof, no problems.

That said, Mr. Weatherman now has me really ticked. Its looking a lot like rain tomorrow, which pretty much means I'm off from work.

So, while I probably can't play Saturday, and almost certainly not Sunday, (assuming the predictions prove correct...) could I take the place of one of those AI's tomorrow (if the weather does hold...)? I'd swear to abide by the rules of "defend but not attack" :D (e. g. I'd just take up the "extra" worlds and guard 'em from all comers... at any cost! :D )

OOOH, make ron join my game!!!

Finally a chance to kill off an experienced player without threat of retaliation :D
Reply #172 from Sins Forums Top
Assuming you CAN kill me off. Don't forget, others will be watching you... And being the only player focused on defense, rather than offense, will be a huge help to me.
Reply #173 from Sins Forums Top
I know, I know.

But i've never played with kill and i've played with Shadow once, and I think that you even on defense will be my greatest threat.

I mean no where in the rules does it say that you can't use culture spam as a form of defense.

I won't culture spam, either :D One tower per planet unless I'm getting spammed. (And a strike against culture towers using ... special forces... would count as defense IMO...)

:LOL:

And if someones capital gets bombed to oblivion we'll just put that down on the required targets for retaliation list, right?
