I recall some time back a thread about players who walk away from their games, leaving it on, making the opponents hunt them down. Are we maintaining that list? Not interested in the whole Drama post thing...however, if this saves someone else some frustration (and adds consequences to poor behavior), then it's worth posting. Screenshots FTW!
[quote who="Raging Amish" reply="3" id="2282147"]Anyone out there who sees this. Plz help me think of names I should be adding to this list. [/quote] There's quite a few...just from my friends list are: AntiWiggin Azrak Bordyl CilverBUG Hound House MS Chaostheory rubeelsDaBomb (correct spelling) and FWIW, Sire is MUCH better than tier 5.... :)
Blair FTW!
It disconnected me from a game lobby, then wont let me login...anyone else having the same problem?
can you really misspell misspelled? ...or was it misspelt? do you know why they call it pms? --cause "mad cow's disease" was already taken.

Crud, I spent time answering everything, but the reply didnt take....so I'll sum up: Leave MB alone. Buff carrier speed Buff lt. frigates turn speed and decrease LRM damage to them slightly Leave scouts alone carrier caps need more fighter capacity Illums need less damage Thanks for your work on this Deceiver!
You know....I'm very suprised this hasnt been stickied. This is such an informative and helpful (if not very interesting) thread. Have any of the moderators stated why they wont sticky it? If not, please sticky it Kryo (or one of the other moderators). Thanks! RM
well, I guess I'll add to the drama... I was in a game right after this happened. rubs joined the game and so did reborn. rubs seems very logical about the whole thing, explained it well, while rebo was VERY inflamatory, with many vile things to say...ultimately he just left. We went on to have a fun game after that (without reborn, since he left and didnt come back). here's my input: Does it really matter if rubs stayed when it looked bl
Is there an option to display the game time (elapsed time in the game) in the hud somewhere? The only place that I see that it is displayed is in the replays... Thanks! RM
I've tried it a few times today vs. 5 teamed hard ai opponents on Gateway. Cant colonize fast enough. there's just not enough money to get 3 civic labs up and also 3 mil labs then a sb before the ai invades Xi. I managed to get a sb on the star, but the ai just bypassed that and started demolishing planets. Easy? I dont think so. Perhaps you havent done it since the ai was improved in entrenchment? Perhaps you arent locking the teams so tha
I prefer locked teams as I like the "us vs. them" format of aliens vs. humans. Not interested in stacking the planets with a map, but just wondering how much is "doable". Seems like 4 teamed hard ai is doable. From what I can tell, 9 hard ai on locked teams in a single star map is not possible. on a multi-star map, depending on the random layout, it's slightly possible. I'll try 9 FFA hard ai and see how that turns out, as well as 4 locked hard ai....</p
Has anyone besides JJ beaten 9 teamed hard ai? if not, how do you usually play vs the ai? 9 unteamed? (all the lame messages from them to do this or that is just annoying...you dont hear that if you lock teams.) Annatar said he does 4 hard ai teamed... multi star or single star?
[quote who="Azrak_Navarion" reply="7" id="2266910"] So don't worry about it, you seem to be a nice guy and personality and sportsmanship still count a lot in online games. [/quote] More important than "mad skilz", because poor sportsmanship makes the game no fun even if you win.
Thanks for the tips! JJ--multi star or single star map? So far I havent been able to survive long enough to get mb.
No, I teamed up all 9 unfair ai's against me. Is that doable?
I tried a few times tonight to play vs. 9 hard ai on a single star map (as TEC). Within minutes I had 30 or more planet bombers raging all over my few planets. Is this doable in entrenchment? Any help is appreciated. (multi star maps might give me a bit more time...dunno). RM
DLed and ready to play. These will be great for pug matches. I'm tired of getting poor map starts...some continuity would be great over the random maps...
Your tiers are way off...which just shows how much conjecture there is...and is more of a popularity contest than anything else. Why not just argue over who are the top 3 players at the moment? (answer: JJ, amish, How)(What about Tyr, Cykur, spiral blitz, etc etc? Because "at the moment" they dont play much--I havent seen them.) These types of threads are rarely constructive or accurate... Wayyyy too much opportunity for interpretation if you go b

[quote who="Azrak_Navarion" reply="12" id="2264343"]Carriers, flak, hoshis, kodiaks, cielos and ogrovs are all pretty decent ships depending on the situation. I'm not a big fan of the scout rush, but that's more due to me disliking rushes in general, not because of the tiny little ships that rip apart my expensive illuminators [/quote] True Azrak, however, of those ships listed, only Kodiaks and Ogrovs are offensive. The rest are

Really, TEC dont have many options at this point besides scouts and HCs.
all you have to do is type /w X (where X is the name of the person you want to chat with) and then type your message. In game, you can respond in the same way with someone who is out in the lobby or in a game lobby. I havent been able to try it from different games, but today while waiting in the lobby, I was able to msg MS and find out how long he had left in a game....he had a while to go, so I just started another game rather than wait for everyone to get out of their g
