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

Note the ladder for round 2 is updated as well, so you can see who you'll be playing against. As in round 1, Hard AI will be added so no planets will be free for grabs.

yeah, my battle was less than complex... AI were completely ignored. Yaim rushed my closest asteroid and capped it with his capital ship, after I had cleared it out. I reacted with rage (which conveniently was the most prudent response), destroyed his capital ship and proceeded to immediately attack and bomb his homeworld to dust. after that the pirates mostly cleaned up for me.

boring battle, could have been much better. although admittedly I think Yaim made the right choice in rushing me, he just got unfortunate with who he was playing. (and by that I'm implying that I counterattack rather strongly, not that I'm particularly better at sins. thats up for your own decision)

if I was forced to fight the AI the battle would have been prolongued, I would have had twice the Terrans which would have almost garunteed me victory (especially considering they were more likely to fight one another) however battles would have been slow going.

Its patheticly displeasing and embrassing, i still can't manage fleets for crap.

I'm kinda glad i dropped, my dignity is still intact :D
Reply #207 from Sins Forums Top
oh boo, dropping is cowardly. its better for you to PMS and complain about the unfairities of this and that and about how the game continuously cheats etc. etc.
Reply #208 from Sins Forums Top
don't sweat it too much, Emp. I got about half of your worlds when Shadow began steamrollering me. I was never really much in it either. That damn Culture rush had me worried for a second, though... :P
