    My biggest regret, not spending those ress quick enough to have a bigger bang :D


    Well, I have been waiting for this one (probably many of you have as well :biggrin2:,) for a long, long time. Unfortunate that it happened in this way, but if we are all being honest. This was the only way I was going to get killed. I broke the 2 most important rules of ogame, don't trust anybody, and no f/s no fleet.

    Not much to say for the story itself, anybody that knows ogame or the players involved knows its complete BS. The only comment I have is for Uly/Myth Lover/Konev. Enjoy being alone, and next time grow a pair and do the dirty work yourself instead of hiding behind your mad dog.


    But that IS ALL I have to say on this post.

    Rather than focusing on garbage of ogame, I would prefer to focus on the positive.


    Its been a fun 6 years and in that time I have done everything ogame could offer, and then done it again and again. In that time I have played with and against some of the best and worst that ogame has to offer. Its the team work and community that appealed to me the most in this game and I wish I could list and recognize every one I have had the pleasure to work with because you guys certainly deserve it. While trust is impossible to find in this game, I want to shout out my alliance in Japetus, Boom. You will not find more loyal players anywhere and they have made this game enjoyable and entertaining over the last several years.


    I do want recognize and curse Xy specifically. Unfortunately years ago he decided to teach a noob Volke how to really play ogame which has led to the loss of many hours of my time, and many of the communities fleets. In the end, it looks like you were right about even this :Ace25:


    Congrats on the hit Uly (and midnight) hopefully it will bring you both some happiness, it was a hell of a bang!

    Just letting my new shiny BC get out and see the Uni a bit.


    Spy and fly, FR Defender


    Dedicated my alliance, thanks (and sorry) for following me into the pit of despair that is 2x fleet speed. :beer::Ace25:

    Just a simple spy and fly.

    Defender was 50 minutes offline when I launched. It looked like he came on mid flight, but guess it was fake activity or a probe as the hit went through.


    FR to the defender, he didn't say anything after the hit but he didn't try to go after any DF, so fair play I say.

    I merged a little late so I just wanted to say hello to Yildun.


    Credit goes to midnight for finding this one. He sent me a message asking if I wanted to ACS with him and after a quick look around I decided why not :missile:


    Defender was off for a while even after the hit, well over an hour in total which is something you just can't do (Even in this torturous 2x fleet speed) right after a merge with two dozen hungry fleeters. When he did log in he v-moded immediately without a word. I am guessing he is done but if you choose to return, quick rebuild Gluggagaegir.


    We ended up a bit short on recyclers, only grabbing 3.1m of the 3.4m total needed. Midnight and myself will have to find a way to endure and accept that terrible loss. Malicious did grab that remaining 300k recyclers or so, the numbers here do reflect that.


    This was only round 1 but I am quite looking forward to those that follow.


    Dedication to my Virgo boys that slowed themselves down from 6x to 2x to indulge others and hopefully catch some excitement. Not something easily done at all. Also dedication to Midnight for the invite. Flying with you was smooth and coordinated, good stuff! :beer:

    This is a pure retaliatory hit. No skill here just a simple spy and fly during the night, just like Candlemass's hits.


    Candlemass hit Warmachine and Andvari last night breaking the NAP. He made an attempt on No-Comment as well but we got lucky and NC logged. He also hit one or two of Cadi's members. This is mine/NF response.


    This is unfortunate for BestFleeter as I actually believe he had no idea. However a whole alliance is responsible for upholding an NAP, you cant pick and choose who it applies for. If you choose to rebuild and separate yourself from Candle I wish you all speed in your rebuild. You have been apart of some great hits here in .us over the years and if you choose to retire it will be well deserved.


    Now directed to Candlemass, I don't know if you are Spartan, TMO, or some other player who is suddenly brave from the merge announcement. Regardless of where you merge, NF will find a way to follow you.


    Dedicated to Warmachine and Andvari - fast recovery boys, much of these ress will be going to you assist in that



    Candlemass did steal some of the DF (30b metal) and that has been updated in this reported to reflect that.

    I can just say : Fleetsave.

    I don't have much to say on this hit but I did think the v-mode warriors telling people to f/s was rather amusing.


    An actually fleet crash from TMO, a rarity but have to say well done. Regardless of how it was done, you found a way to do it. Unfortunately you didn't get Kenov so it seems like you will still be living in v-mode? Many people aim to actually win/control a uni but knowing you I think you are very satisfied just doing damage where and when you can. *rocket4*


    Sorry to see you down The Game, especially rough coming from something like this. Fast rebuild if you choose :thumbup:

    Gotta love it when a guy comes out of vmode, magically builds 500% of his acct and then "accidentally" fleetsaves to planet. This is either incredibly convenient or Gen saw what the rest of us have seen. Ogame is dead and he was just sick of playing and decided to go out on his own sword. My 2 cents.

    Builds 500% :lol:

    I would be laughing hysterically but part of me actually wonders if you are actually serious about this Shady... Nah you can't be:D


    I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and LOL, cause you don't seem that stupid to me, surely you must of been smart enough to figure out what happened :thumbup:


    For Acid however I can understand if he needs a little more help than the rest of us. Check your dates Acid, fleet duplication from a JG ;) (hopefully to be corrected shortly)


    Boom is pleased to present the biggest .us hit since Dego opted for retirement a few years ago. A few of you have been waiting for this one and I am pleased to finally be able to fulfill those requests. Its no secret that Genysis/Herc is..... (Was?) Japetus's resident v-mode mosquito. Oh he was without doubt a fat mosquito but in the end he did nothing more than provide some irritable itching from time to time.


    After about 40 hrs of non-stop play, something so common from him that one might be amazed, shocked, bewildered and left in a state of disbelief to discover that he was only one man... :search: Genisys decided to actually fleet save... NOT v-mode, but actually fleet save. 8| Something I was completely unaware he even knew how to do... Predictably that's the moment things went wrong for him. It was fairly obvious he has had little practice with f/s because instead of doing a moon to moon deployment he ended up doing a moon-planet deploy. Shreky spotted this and from there everything was all to simple. I could throw a list of impressive sounding adjectives behind the title and pretend like it was some great hit of skill, valor, and cunning.... But that just seems a little over dramatic no?


    With the help of my team I locked his deploy, caught the time of the recall, killed the return, and collected the DF. And thus the oversized mosquito was finally swatted.


    I do want to take a second to give Genisys some credit. He was a hero for many of our previous victims and while his strategy may of been to run and hide, he did that extremely well (until he didn't). Thank you for helping entertain us all with you numerous small hits, and this big one 8o


    Dedicated to Boom, it was extremely satisfyingly to see everybody jump into action. The teamwork behind this hit was perfect, communication, moonshots, watching activity, switching lanxing, and as always spot on timing. Great job guys! :thumbsup:


    Now for the stuff you guys actually want to see :thumbup:

    my biggest question is what will replaced the -50% CR probability. What happens take the place of the 4%?


    As long as it didn't up BH % then discoverer is still the OP class. This is a good balance even if it hurts my personal account. So discoverers will make 5B a day instead of 10B. You still vastly out perform any general or collector class. Even if you only hit res for a day, the res haul of some of the larger fleets is > a planets daily production.


    Everyone knew the discoverer class was going to get a nerf. As soon as the exploit was discovered everyone flocked to it and everyone knew the risk of a nerf. You don't get to complain for months about how unbalanced/broken the game is and then curse to high heavens when a balance is actually released.

    Tiamat is actually spot on here. You aren't getting 1/2 the profit, this will make it so "Pirate/Alien hunting" is actually a loss. Anything from -10% to -50% every 450 missions. However, if you wish to still run big expo's Shadyj09 , I wont talk you out of it ;)

    I think there Is alot of focus on top score when considering merges, but whats failed to be looked at is play style. Think that maybe my ENTIRE score is economy and EVERYONE is virgo is running fleet.. its not a 'fair' matchup at that point, and thats what you are trying to measure with score isn't it? Get more data to form a stronger arguement imo.

    Now here I disagree. Total points should be the primary thing looked at. It doesn't matter if its mines, fleet, defenses, or laser tech 60. There is always different play styles, you chose the heavy economy likely because that's what you thought was the best route to go. Should we isolate all heavy fleets in one Uni? Should we have a Uni with pure miners? Segregate all play styles? No. Total points, while not a perfect representation, is the best you can go on to match accounts that would make a good merge.

    Have faith in direction you have taken the account, or if you for some reason did not foresee a merge with possible competition, then modify your account to meet the challenge. With a heavy economy and extra production it is not impossible to convert that into a sizable fleet to contend with others.
