    You will all burn for betraying me. Except Matt and Rym.

    The next 24 hours will be the best

    Hey, I never betrayed you.

    I had Gundabad on the ropes but then I fell asleep when I needed to be awake to kill him.

    That was totally my bad though, I kinda failed to realise I needed to be awake; if I had I would have set an alarm.

    Either way it was a glorious confrontation, but I now hang my head in shame.

    I'm sorry I failed you, Bytes.

    By the way, if you wanted to live you should have run your queen into my territory like I told you to; instead you chose death :(

  • Oh, and GeekNights game 002 has now officially begun.

    This second game is significantly more factory-heavy than the first. I guess that's going to mean even more war :D

  • All this Gendo talk is making me want to watch Eva again, which is weird because in the last year I've seen it ~5 times start to finish.

    Gendo and Friends

    There's a small part of me that wishes that was the real plot
  • I blame being drunk and/or at Disney World for four days for not being able to push through at the end.

    You can still be a factor. Join us.
  • I thought this would be over this morning but it looks like we could go as many as two more full days. This has been a really cool game but I can honestly say I'm looking forward to having played it, and never playing in a second game.

    Also never playing again.
  • Yeah. This game takes a good chunk of free time. I don't know if I'll play again anytime soon. It's fun, but damn.
  • Everyone attack Cheese because he just talks too damn much

  • Scott attacked me the second I tried to stop Andrew from winning. I may just gift my Martyr to Andrew and let what happens happen.

    Don't do it!

    NO. Just launch all your subs at Andrew's mines full power and let me take your stuff. Then I'll do the same once I'm close enough.

  • Actually gifting a Martyr can sometimes be the best way to set it off ;)
  • This is why I avoid games like this, if I need to change my schedule to play a game then it is not worth playing. I can start and stop my gaming sessions not the other way around.

  • Kingmakers are worse than traitors.
  • So comparing this to Neptune's pride how's it play out?

    Alert the WHAAmbulance.

    I would have made you king if you gave me a fair deal for my mine. Simple as that. You chose to take it instead, making me decide that you aren't worthy of having that mine.

    I'm only upset because Smuggler+Navigator+Martyr is pretty much an impossible combination to counter. It's an instant I want to fuck you button. There was literally nothing I could do to counter it.

  • It took 3 specialists. It's something to more than likely expect endgame. Now if I had a pirate to try to intercept your 20 driller to try to get the martyr range to have both mines in range, OMG that would have been the best move ever. Not sure if it's possible, but it would have been GLORIOUS.

    I was stupid for sending that Double Agent. I've made so many mistakes, but at least I know now if I ever choose to play again.

    Still, have to love that specialist combo. Freaking wonderful. You trying to be sneaky with all the different subs with one or two drillers was clever. I had to zoom in and slowly spin the clock to figure it out. I also made a simulation of sending one sub full of 10 drillers just to figure out how many you had coming. Then in the end, I was like, fuck it. Just send off my martyr so I don't have to worry about this nonsense.

    Also double admirals make driller travel insanely nice.
  • Scott, gift your drillers to Lir or the martyr will nuke it immediately after you land. If the game continues, that martyr will go fuck up someone else's day.

    Yeah, that's the one mistake in the design of this game. They fixed so many problems of Neptune's Pride, but they created one more. The specialists make it so a player who is militarily deficient can still have an impact on the game. But some of the specialists, and some used in certain combinations, are too ridiculously strong.

    I like the ones like infiltrator that give +20 against shields, or the ones that increase movement speed like pirate, and the one that increases sonar distance.

    The ones like martyr, super shield guy who keeps refreshing shields instantly, etc. are just silver fuck you bullets. Oh, 10000 drillers? Don't worry. I got this.

    No, you should not have this. You already lost the game, someone is way way bigger than you. You have no chance. GTFO.

    Players no longer having fun when THEIR game is over but THE game is not over is a common thing we have discussed often. Monopoly being the prime example. The correct solution has always been player elimination. As soon as you have no chance to win, you are no longer allowed to play. Otherwise, your only purpose is griefing, kingmaking, and ruining everyone elses experience. You could just quit and play a fresh game.

    It's the same with Rocket League and people not forfeiting. You're wasting my life making me spend 3 more minutes to lose when I could be playing a fresh game with a chance to win.
