I feel fat in Sombre's mockup (I'm decapentaplegic).

Almost a 10 person game and not far from a 12 person game.

Also jesus christ my position sucks.

I might be up for a spot in the second game if it needs more people as I might be quickly out of this one. (Remember if you take my territory, you have to hold it from everyone else, which you won't because you'll be weakened from attacking.)

[Joflar]

I really like the creature designs in this game, they all look so different.

[jennoa]

I haven't met anyone yet and I am already feeling constrained.

[Murdoc]

Funny you mention that squid, I came up with an awesome strategy when I woke up this morning in case I ended up in your position. Well maybe not awesome, but a way to exist and play the game differently.

I'll let you in on it one day

(want to try it out for myself one day)

[Sombre]

Am I the only one whos sending overly long in character dipolmatic mails by the way?

[ThunderPeel2001]

How do I join the game? :0/

[Murdoc]

The current game is all full Thunder.

Why are you sending mail to people Sombre? theres a chat screen in the middle.

Diplomacy

Offering the olive branch with a knife on the other end etc.

I linked a PC gamer podcast a while ago, and someone said "The mail send function is the most important button ingame"

Squid is making a second list, we haven't started yet

When we do, whoever starts it will post the link. Also if you haven't signed up for an account, go do so. http://np.ironhelmet.com/

edit: Also if there is more then 12 I'll drop out since I'm already in the first game, but if you guys need a player I'm up for it.

[Squid Division]

The last list I posted was for a second game since there were more than 12. I had been keeping the other list so I figured I'd go ahead and help people out and keep up the second one too.

Oh no you are not :

/your friend in the space-south

[James]

Hahaha, good to see other people enjoy the "space-" prefix as much as I do.

I really want to be able to check up on this at work. I'm considering asking to borrow my colleague's laptop at lunch, but he's usually using it. Perhaps I should bring my netbook in and tether my phone to it…

[Sombre]

My summation of the past few days.

My life is the inbox button.

[Joflar]

I've had a mail correspondence break a table, thats how much diplomacy is going on

[Sombre]

I can already feel my sleep schedule being increasinly destroyed. I can't stop planning!

[dpp]

I got an epic diplomatic message from someone I don't want to disclose. Bravo sir, bravo.

[James]

Intense diplomacy is certainly underway. This is pretty dramatic. I'm perpetually nervous.

[Murdoc]

Better inbox support, real time chat, and a news ticker of galactic news scrolling at the bottom would be amazing upgrades.

*real time chat between 2 or more players. Like a sit down. Then again with better inbox support, might not be necessary.

Also the ability to check my game while at work instead of locking of google like retards, I go away for a day and the whole game has changed, whats going on?!

[James]

I don't know what happens when a game ends, but I'd really like a replay feature of some sort with the whole galaxy revealed, and a log of all communications, to see what was going on behind everyone's backs. Then again, I guess you'd have to warn players about that, in case they started getting personal about people in their private messages or something.

EDIT: I would also like the ability to merge fleets. I can transfer ships between fleets, but apparently I cannot shift the last one over. For some reason this fleet has to remain active until it's destroyed. That seems daft. For every fleet I create, I'm tying up one ship as well as the $25 it costs to form one.

I am also nervous and have no idea what's going on. My diplomacy has died down a little, and I'm kind of relieved!

[Squid Division]

To break the implied secrecy on everything I feel like I need to out Murdoc. No one trust Murdoc. Believe not a word he says. (Also he tried to pull the Nigerian Prince scam on me early on. That was pretty funny.)

[Wurtsi]

I'm starting to understand what Chris meant when he said this game absolutely destroys friendships. Even attacking a star feels personal, not to mention fraud. I feel horrible and I haven't even done anything yet. Best game!

EDIT: Also, I can't stop making up lore for my star systems and fleets. It's pretty great.

[Sombre]

This invokes such a sense of fear and glory in me. It's so good.

Who do I trust? Murdoc, or Squid? What would be the rammifications if I chose one of the other?

ahhhhh games!
