you end lot of MP games early or do not finish them because they are decided.. (this only shows you do not play MP)

Tell you what . . . If you are the best player, we could probably line up a few folks to show you what good play means. Perhaps a comparison SP game where you can use your no crawler strat or a PBEM . . I wonder if one of our stronger players could be bothered to demonstrate the fallacies of your no-crawler strategy.

when ppl here do not play normal MP, it's laughable
MP is something different than SP and how would you compare?? you can compare only by playing in 1 MP game
quote:
The best player I have ever played is a guy named " buster" over at CGN. As far as I am concerned, until you show something against some established players, you are just talk.
A lousy player is still a lousy player no matter how many games you win if you only play other lousy players. For you to proclaim your superiority without testing yourself in this playing community is just plain arrogant. |
when you did not play online, this quote is nonsense, because you do not know anything about it, the only player from apolyton who plays MP is chaos theory (but very rarely), so i guess ppl here really do not know what MP really is
btw how can i show something when you do not play online???????

No this shows I play competent opposition that cannot be crushed by simplistic tactics and that I play in games where people have the sense to team up against a clear leader

The game is the game whether online or PBEM . Why do you seem to fear PBEM so ?? I can't play online since I have a job and a young son. Why can't you PBEM ? It is the purest form of the game.
I would have figured that the BEST PLAYER would be the best regardless of the form of MP.

How is playing "MP" as you so charmingly call it, any different from playing PBEM (which strangely is also MP, at least in my experience) Its the same game, just takes a bit longer.
Anyway, there's a number of people who play IP (as I assume you mean) games. I do for a start, Lazerus, Dreifels, actually most of us do sometimes however, as the posters on 'poly are from all over the world, its pretty hard to get people together for an IP game. That's why we prefer PBEM on the whole.
And NO NO NO  we're not talking about SP (single player) - most of us are regularly playing against HUMAN opponents in PBEM games. And very probably the greenest newbie among us could easily beat your no crawlers strategies.
Come on, if you are the BEST play against some 'poly posters. But prepare to be humilated

Oh and I did play a few games through ip connection a couple of years back but found the opposition lacking in skills. I don't know if that was representative of the group or if the good players weren't volunteering to play me because I was a relative unknown. Perhaps you should provide a link to your gaming community or playing group for the benefit of anyone here that wants to try your form of the game.
WE also played some IP in a game before switching to a PBEM. I enjoyed the ability to get 40 years done in 2 hours but in a 4 player game, turns quickly became too long to enjoy if playing online style.
Just curious, if this community of PBEMers are not playing real MP, why do you bother to come here ?

are you really stupid or what?
pbem takes ages to play and that's something i cant do
and you were not even able to name players who really play(ed) often online, so that means you never played that
btw if you have time to play pbem, you should have time to play 1 online game against me (let's say 1 game/month or something like that, pbem takes time some time too)
you are saying here what nonsense i am talking, but it's you who do not try to play just 1 game with me online (requesting to play 6 months to play and not be able to spend just 1 day to 'test' me is clear nonsense)

I couldn't believe that someone could assert they are even a moderately competent player without using roads OR crawlers.

all i said is true
when you do not give me chance to play with you online (because pbem would take 6 months = you would find nothing), it clearly shows how good and fair you are

Now you show your lack of knowledge-- A 2 player duel of say 150 years could be easily played in less than 3 months -- 2-3 turns a day EACH is common and I have several 4 player games (with the right opponents,) in which I can see the turn twice in a day even into the 2160s .
I also have games that take over a year but thats a matter of having the right opponents.
. . . and your posting is improving -- no insults this time. . .

when you cant make time just for 1 game then you are an idiot (when you can play several times a day turns in pbem, you can surely sometimes play online)
you are just giving some stupid nonsense that you cant play online, almost it seems like you are afraid
btw i am probably going to be without inet in 1 month, so i even cant play pbem now

I am curious blockhead -- With no online community, is there a standard rulset that you use to deal with the various game bugs-- Please post the rules you play by-- it should only take a few seconds to paste them into a post here

my MP games last to less than 2250 i guess and it takes usualy 1 or 2 nights (on large map)
i do not play by any special rule set, because most players know bugs (there was some page but i forgot) (but now there's lack of players, so i started to look for some here)
the only special rule we made was to not use probe teams when pacted, and not using bugs is obvious thing

NO the difference is flexibility-- I often PBEM when home alone with my young son. I play while he sleeps. I can leave the turn to attend to him and come back hours later to finish-- IP does not give that flexibility-- and there is no way this game ever gets priority over his needs
I can also PBEM short turns early in the morning or on my lunch break at work. The early turns are less than 10 minutes each.

SO 150 turns
lets assume the first 50 turns can be done in an hour
and the next 50 in 10 minutes per turn so thats 500 minutes or 8 hours 20 minutes
From year 100, my turns will usually take 30 minutes each as I move multiple formers, crawlers and units, check infiltration on people etc-- That would take about 25 hours
How do you play fast enough to accomplish this in 2 nights-- Do you play silmultaneous moves?
Also-- if there is no ruleset, is there agreement on issues such as the stockpile bug, reverse engineering and upgrading in the DW-- people play those different ways sometimes here and thats why I asked what you do for rules--

stupid ppl and teachers think so.., but i have wasted a lot of time in my life with stupid ppl
if you are unable to play online for no reason, let's set up pbem game, but i would not enjoy it so much
tell me if there are any special rules and how do i comunicate with human players

i forgot to tell i am the fastest player (i am not so fast now as i was, but still i can say i am fastest)
we play simul and when war we usualy reload
when it takes 30 minutes, it does mean you are especialy slow, but i dont care
tell me what ruleset you have and i will tell you, but i always play fair and do not use bugs and if i find other ppl using them, i usualy quit the game (only stupid idiots are using bugs)

The standard ruleset "poly rules" are in several places in this forum and each individual game adopts them or modifies them as they see fit. They appear at the start of many of the threads in the MP forum
Communication is not permitted ( usually) until you meet in the game and then you do trades and talk via the commlinks but detailed negotiation is done by email.
Oh and I gave my reason-- other than work, I can hardly even call any discrete time period my own. Pbem is flexible. IP is not . . . I can't expect an opponent to wait for what could be 10 minutes or could be 4 hours. THats my reason. I really don't feel the need to give you but gave it anyway
On the fainess thing . . if someone does not want to play with you thats just tough. If thats the most unfair that life is to you, you are fortunate indeed. I do find it amusing as an employed married professional, to be repeatedly insulted by someone that must be a child.
