[Lord_Iggy]

[Northen Wolf]

And you want to be a moderator.

I was a moderator?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

'Want to be' implies that you wish to be a moderator at some time in the future.

 

[Daftpanzer]

Wish I lived in american time zones! I believe Tuxedohamm is in Europe though?

So can you like conduct your turn at any point during the day, and it updates at a certain time each day?

 

[Shadowbound]

It is a very slow real time. I made my moves ten hours ago, and most of the fleets are still on the way to their destinations.

 

[Terrance888]

Awesome map.

Can you take a pic of the last game? Also, I promise to do a write up if someone does one. I missed your game my MINUTES because one of the enemy fleet took too long in a detour.

 

[Abaddon]

Anyone interested in a second game? Daft, Charles?

 

[nutranurse]

I'd be up for another game!

Two at once! (edit: that's what she said)

 

[Abaddon]

Cool, well lets take a few days to let people pay attention.. but I suggest a coordinated launch of Sunday evening.. 9pm? (GMT)

 

[Terrance888]

Um... what GMT is Ohio, USA?

So if it is GMT-5, that would be 4:00 at mine right?

Double post.

 

[Abaddon]

Hmm, thats a bit mean on you.. how about I push it later.. midnight UK.. so 7am for you?

 

[ZeletDude]

I'd join, but that's 5am for me..

 

[Daftpanzer]

Abaddon I'm in!

 

[Abaddon]

Sweet GMT FTW!

 

[Terrance888]

WE should have a NP social group FTW!

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Hmm, Luckymoose, Thlayli and I are about to get out of our first game of Neptune's Pride, if you delay your start some of us might be able to join. To explain and to answer Charles' question:

In recent events, Lucky, Thlayli and I banded together to hold off Yukon and Shadowlord Wolfer's forces, but I continued to lose huge numbers of systems, Thlayli stabbed me by attacking my homeworld before it had faced a single attack, Lucky got techs from our 'enemies' who thought he was fighting Thlayli, and then decided that he'd try to take down the inactive forces of Bil instead of fighting Yukon and Shadowlord. Thlayli, irked by this, attacked Luckymoose, forcing him firmly into Yukon and Shadowlord's camp, who promised him 3rd place. Thlayli has now begun to lose ground as my forces are slowly and inevitably worked down to nothing, crushed by the tectonic forces of the players surrounding me.

 

[Terrance888]

Ascend as many as possible! Fight to the last!

Lucky! Stay in their alliance and betray your fellow NESers! Watch as we all hate you for joining outsiders because we are elitist that way!



<If you betray your 'allies' after you steal all their tech, you can probably take Shadow's home worlds, cut off his fleets within Thlayli, and get back in contention for 1st place. Depending on fleet size, of course>

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Keep in mind, this is Shadowlord Wolfer, not Shadowbound.

 

[Terrance888]

I know he is not shadowbound. Who IS he?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Just some guy. Honestly, I have not said a word to him for the whole game, my fight has been predominately with Yukon, with Thlayli serving as a distraction one way or another.
