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

Sigh... i'm too tired to make good jokes :(

In game,

TGE: But I only built one broadcast tower!
Ron: It doesn't matter I must defend my empire!!!

*proceeds to bomb TGE's worlds to the ground*

Not going to happen -- I was planning on strategic strikes on JUST the broadcast.

Uh huh sure ;)

I won't culture spam, either One tower per planet unless I'm getting spammed.

But then Ron defines "spam" as "more than one, anywhere in the empire." :P
Reply #181 from Sins Forums Top
I'd have no objection to Ron being in the game...

After all, even Ron would be better than the AI! :P

seriously looking forward to getting slaughtered tomorrow. Haven't had any time to brush up this week...

MULTI!!! ITS FRIDAY!!! I WANT MY WAFFLES!!!

You'll get them later :P

Shameless bump to make sure everyone who signed up to participate remembers to double check the times!

Today's game window is pretty narrow, so out of courtesy for our European players it'd be nice to start on time so they can get some sleep :P

Well, unless the weather changes (again) looks like I'm going to have to withdraw my offer of AI replacement, sorry guys.

Eh, ok. I was figuring that an "enhanced AI" would be something you want, but whatever :D

Reply #191 from Sins Forums Top
good news! I might be able to make tomorrows tourny. if I dont, its hardly a concern. it either 1) simplifies things for you or 2) doesnt matter completely.
Reply #192 from Sins Forums Top
i can make it tomorrow unless i lose today, which is very possible =p
Reply #193 from Sins Forums Top
first victory just under 1/2 hour into the game. man that battle went longer than it should...

would appreciate if people would post appropriate finish times, just curious.
Reply #194 from Sins Forums Top
we ended earlier than that, thrawn left and wedge crashed and i really didnt want to have to fight through AI's just to fight a person so i forfeited
Reply #195 from Sins Forums Top
so... bith won?
oh, and note: my game was actually 10 minutes 10 seconds. or so yaim says.
Reply #196 from Sins Forums Top
if thats when he dropped, it is. did he watch it to the end? ours was a few minutes over 30. and yah, pith won
Reply #197 from Sins Forums Top
I still want to know what happened to thrawn. He just said something like "Wow, I didn't expect to lose this early." and left. Did you beat him up eet? Did Pith? Did he lose his flag to pirates/militia and just give up? Did the tooth fairy get pissed off because he doesn't brush his teeth as often as he should and destroy his homeworld??

Pith rushed. I quit. I was hoping for a more slow going game.

I seem to play my genres wrong. I don't rush in RTS. I do rush in FPS (which, btw = instant doom). *sigh*

The longest game was 3 hours 33 minutes :) There was another about 2 and a half hours.

Some of the replays are quite interesting :D
Reply #200 from Sins Forums Top
the longest game would have been group 7!

i stayed till the very end, and made redlab earn his WIN!

:d
