To fix problems like this the rules should be static for the whole game. This should drop complainign an whining since if it doesnt do a thing for u why whine Otherwise every battle will go like : Send 1 lf to detonate opposing 10 Lf's other 9 lf's continue route. Also roles should eiether be fully premmitted or fully limited. Ex: Rouges Xenos ect may never be legal: People that want this tend to be in the big Corsair or Outcast Factions that want houses attention away from them. Ouctasts and Corsiars are about as liekly to ally as DSe is liekly to atatck librity. Players should not offer somethign that is illegal or you will complain about later Cough Codename cough

hmm...no I think that IC was way more powerful than Ageira--they have twice the number of bases, twice the fleet size and two freaking battleships as opposed to two gunboats. So I nominate the Creator for that. And I nominate jacob for most powerful House, and the "Omega Chief" award.

And Best diplomat...split between me and Codename I think.

Best explorer...no one. Not one system found in the entire game.

Jacob definitely controlled the most systems, and I think the Creator had the best CPT income. The actual winner of the thing would be hard to decide on...hmm...

thanks jacob. and yeah, you do deserve the Omega Chief award.

Well, I had a little help in getting the least successful corperation title *Kicks gunblader, codename and all the others how gang-banged him* Actually, for that one turn, I was more powerful than anything IC had. They never did have full control of three companies.

Thank you for the best all-round player award jakob, I wear it with honor. And thanks to GB for nominating me for it.

Biggest Arguer: Codename

Actually, I think "Best Arguer" would be a more appropriate title. I generally tried not to win my arguments through sheer stubbornness and spamming but rather by establishing a very defensible argument and poking holes in the opposing ones. The fact of the matter is that I was responsible for a series of rule modifications and I consistently managed to get a good number of players - including, in a few cases, those who were initially my opposition - to agree with me. I do believe that one would be remiss in not acknoweldging these accomplishments. Now, I'm not saying that describing me as the "Biggest Arguer" is inaccurate. Rather, I would like to also be recognized for the quality of my debates as well as their frequency and length...


....Hey, where'd everybody go?



Rich - Why, of all of the players did you pick me as one of your "gang smashers"? I never laid so much as a finger on you or your bases. You could have singled out Wilde, Triyun or Roc in addition to Gunblader but you chose me? WTF???

Edited by - Codename on 1/10/2005 6:57:18 PM

Richardson- the plan to attack you was in motion weeks before we actually attacked you. It was set up by me, Roc, and Chessaslavakia. WE didn't want a repeat of last game where a corperation gained to much power and started doing things.

OOC: For everyones knowledge, I am talking about myself and Samura LONG LIVE WUTAI!!!

Red_dude update- Xrays have his doctors that he has some spine damage. Whether the spine damage is permanantm or not, I am sad to say that he will be forever paralized in his right leg. When his other leg heals up, he will have to walk with a cane and a limp.

@Codename- Fine, I will change it to "Biggest and Best Arguer." You happy now???

@Gunblader- That's terrible! Tell him I feel really bad for him and that I hope he recovers in a timely manner. And tell him that he is lucky since he basically has a "Get out of PE and exercise free pass" for the rest of his life, so he can be even more lazy and sit on the computer playing CYOF all day!

Jacob- He can't really type right now, he has to get home first, doctors say he might get to come home in couple of days but, he has to go to PT(physicall therapy) every day. All that is really wrong with him is that he need to heal. No surgery or anything. Although I still haven't to him or the rest of my family who hit him.

GB,that is sh*t news about your brother. However, not a lot of people get hit by a car like how you explain and live to talk about. He sounds very lucky, but of course you know that anyway.

Gunblader-- that really sucks about red_dude. Give him my best wishes.

If we are going to have another CYOF there need to be some changes. Most critical is a ban on "nationalizing" NPC corporations. ww2jacob you were one of the worst offenders, that is why you became so powerful this game and ultimately why everyone ganged up on you. Houses have a built in advantage from the very beginning, if they are allowed to simply absorb all the corporate factions in their space with no opposition then the smaller factions don't stand a chance. If a house wants to take over a corp. they should have to fight for it like anyone else, thus making that faction hostile to you.

We also need to improve the battle system. I have made several unsucessful attempts to create a java program that would reduce or eliminate the role of the battle judge. If anyone else has some java experience and wants to work on this problem e mail me at [email protected] and I will send you the rough outline of my ideas.

Actually i think i was the most powerful faction at the end seeing that i actually had capital ships.
And a lot of fighters.
