Don't bother to read unless you're hooked.

Update [2008-5-13 3:17:54 by anonimouse]: Now with super gloating!!



When I started, someone who was quite a bit larger than me tried to attack. Unfortunately for him, I launched an assault fleet towards his home planet and forced his to turn round and protect his planets.

He was a little pissed by this, so he hired an alliance of Mercenaries, who did a little setting upon. However, they don't seem to be very good at OGame tactics, and my fleetsaving and building between raids meant that I could go and visit their client and work him over. He's been relegated into newbie protection now.

What to do about the Mercenaries. One of the alliance, the weakest member was only about 20 systems away, so I colonised a vacant planet in his system and I've been using it to raid his planets. Whereever his large fleet was, my smaller fleet was somewhere else. His main planet is being starved of resources, and whenever he moves part of it away from the main planet, I go pay it the small fleet a visit.

Apparently he's told another member of his alliance that he's in trouble, but he hasn't realised that whilst he hasn't been growing, I have. In two hours, a fleet of up to 13 battleships (worst case) will attack the planet. However there will be 29 cruisers and 12 battleships awaiting him, plus the ground defences....

..if I move fast enough I can start raiding this second mercenary for resources too....

...definitely heading towards a minor Empire with lots of vassals here.

The defender has won the battle!

The attacker lost a total of 682.000 units.
The defender lost a total of 176.000 units.
At these space coordinates now float 189.900 metal and 66.300 crystal.
The chance for a moon to be created is 2 %
1 Light Laser could be repaired.

Just to prove we can be friends after a quarrel, I sent him a note:

Dear yyyyy, Your donation of 495,000 metal and 165,000 crystal in the form of 11 battleships was most generous. To leave a tip of 1LCargo and a Heavy fighter even more so.... Love and kisses xxxx

I got a touching reply:

when im back up and running im going to kill your planet kill your mother and kill everyone you have known or know!

So... by ucblockhead (2.00 / 0) #1 Mon May 12, 2008 at 07:15:40 PM EST
There's a new universe starting up tomorrow and I'm thinking of trying to get in it. Where I'm at seems to be full mostly of people on vacation or in the stratosphere.

I've been heavily raiding but I'm getting a bit bored because no one has taken exception and tried to do anything back. One guy sent a couple nasty emails about "watching my six" but is now noob protected. Everywhere I look is either people who no defense, people with massive defenses or people way in the stratosphere pointwise. I want to start in a new universe to try to get an actual shot at the top ranks.

3 universes by anonimouse (2.00 / 0) #2 Mon May 12, 2008 at 07:23:25 PM EST
...is as many as I can handle and keep sanity.

I get the feeling there are a few people who have caught on how to play, whereas most don't catch on.

I'm not sure I can sustain the interest for more than a month or two though.

I already gave one up because it seemed to be just a repeat of the first.

farming some guys with little or no defense, some of whom clearly played for three days then gave up. The next level up, though, is altogether different. I've lost my espionage probes to guys with rankings similar to mine twice now (and I'm only at 1500 points).

When I'm imprisoned as an enemy combatant, will you blog about it?

Kill your planet, kill your mother.
Hmm, I think possibly one of those is an in game threat and one an out of game one. An amusing incongruety.

I've opened up a new planetary base next to his system and from there my battleships and cruisers are busy bombing him back to the Stone Age.

sounds interesting -- but it also sounds like the sort of game I'd want to be able to access during work hours to do maintanance. Is that true?



that game doesn't sound addictive AT ALL -nt- by clover kicker (2.00 / 0) #8 Tue May 13, 2008 at 12:51:34 PM EST




did you play VGA Planets back in the day? -nt- by clover kicker (2.00 / 0) #9 Tue May 13, 2008 at 12:51:58 PM EST

The game may be boring by anonimouse (2.00 / 0) #10 Tue May 13, 2008 at 01:32:06 PM EST
...but I detect massive opportunities for trolling
