Have a few people that joined a builders game on Y-city a few days late. They are having problems getting ther alignment up. Would anyone be willing to help boost the 4 blue players alignment I'll supply ship and figs... y-city.dyndns.org port 2002 game N

A suggestion - perhaps send them your signature line as a way to help them achieve that goal.

Can't you just make some planets? Upgrade some ports? It is a building game, right?

lol @ kav.
Well spotted

Correct! This is a building game. Making planets and upping ports would not of helped this individual or his team mate. Myself I'm really blue and they were not. I was looking out for them. I need to change that signature

Look, I'm sorry if I came off kind of short there.
You've got a builders game...N.

So I don't see where the problem is? (Did you already get a fix?)
You have a red to post a bounty on to get blue.
You have plenty of blues around to post on to get red?
If someone really blue wants to go red, perhaps suicide's the solution?

No we fixed it. Had Joshua come in he hit me so his alignment went down. The builders game truly only is blue friendly. based on the settings if you were to be evil it would be much much HARDER than a normal game. this way all of our alignments are high and if any new people decide to join we have someone they can hit for alignment it was a much different story yestrday. Morden and Myself only had 2-300k alignment but spock and james t kirk were evil becuase they were hitting our figs. So That's why i posted this thread. Too bad you can't delete the threads there is no need for this anymore

I'm glad you got it fixed.
Thanks for bringing it to us so we could help find a fix and share it with everyone, that's what these forums are for anyway.
Thanks for coming back and sharing your fix.

Don't delete your thread, as someone might need alignment help in the future and search for it.

So your solution was to get someone to come in and hit you to go red... then he lays some 'red' fighters down and they whackity whack 'em? Outstanding.

As they were a corp, they could have gotten even more red..then one hit the others' fighters, making a red/blue corp. then just have the red self destruct just prior to extern in a crappy ship. ( ...hence my reference to a 'Suicide Solution'. )

Seems to me that the real problem there is someone gridding in a building game... That was one of the deciding factors when I left the last game I was in, a high ranking blue had gridded the uni, so anyone trying to explore and trade immediately went red...

btw Hitech there's a new building game if you want to play. Also, the 4-5 of us that are playing all played on UTW.... Good planets lot's of colos and no one is going to invade anyone. Well until day 61

That's why I didn't get into it... It's not a true building game, but rather an extended truce game...

Understandable. Perhaps there will be another one going on soon.
