No sir, I'm not. I would say, but just joined the new B&B game and fucked up the edit, so ended up with the same name.

Edit: to Kow's username question

@Pea have you tried the direct link to the game?

About three days ago, instead of logging me in it took me to a new account page. Logging in straight to the game fixed it.

Is that B&B only?

There are 2 non B&B colonists - friends of The End Brain - the other 6 spaces are pure B&B.

I knew that was you!  I was the Bear Warrior team.  I regret not moving quick enough and going for Sasukekuns home world when we took over his stars.  Good game.

haha yeah I couldn't believe that you sacrificed a few hundred or your ships attacking his home star to let me take it.  It was a pleasure playing with you though, some great bear roleplaying:



I'm not going to join game 3 as for a game that supposedly is only meant to take a few minutes a day I spent way too much time on it.  But some tips for those that do:

Economy is the key to victory, especially in the early game.  Think about how many carriers you really need to build in the first turn.  Because stacks are so small and weapon tech is low you don’t need a lot of ships to defend stars early on.

Weapons and Manufacturing are the only techs worth investing significantly in.  As the stacks get bigger in the end game having even a 1 weapon advantage is a huge help.  High experimentation is a waste of time.

It’s better to be attacked than to attack due to the +1 bonus.  Try keeping ships out of scan range and then moving them in to defend a star once the enemy has committed to an attack.

Build carriers.  There’s no point having ships if you can’t get them to your front line.  Also, you can move ships between carriers and stars however you want.  Some people in game 2 didn’t look like they were aware of this…

I was Lego hair, good game folks.

I was Frank.
I don't think I'll join another game partly for the same reasons as Nexx but also because it suffers from Monopoly syndrome whereby once you start losing you're fucked and there's no way to come back. Just the slow wait and death rattles until you are wiped out/bankrupt.

It doesn't really work when it take so long for them to come over. If you wake up an log in to find a bunch of cruisers coming through your planets then you're kind of fucked. I dunno maybe ill give it another shot.

If they did that though, you wouldn't be able to double cross so easily. Anything that cements the alliance would kill that sense of worry. I certainly thought you were preparing to attack me at one point.

Lol! I thought you were attacking me. Kow warned an attack was maybe on the way, and I saw your fleets moving.

Based on that experience, I would probably not be the person best qualified to look after any launch codes in real life.

One more slot left in Another Dimension!

Intergalactic backstabbing.

The Universal Constructor is a great moniker, whoever that is.

Nobody should trust Buck Sexington. He is wily.

Alright dudes.  Was intrigued by all the new names appearing in here so took a peek, ended up going over every bloody post for tips and jumped into a random game.  Then another.  Love it.  

The first game is heating up nicely with military alliances formed and backstabbing soon to commence.  The second is only a few hours old, but again I've been fortunate with the level of role playing.  One guy in particular is full of awesome for taking the full on comedy German approach.

Thought I'd give the forum game a miss as I'm still stumbling around a bit and didn't wanna get raped by you guys.  Am regretting that now.

The playing a game bit.  Not the raping.

Someone join this 'game' or I will come and stab you all.
