Galaxi you are Very wrong as to when I turned death delay back on Very wrong. I turned it on Just after midingiht. Yes I did notice that You guys had podded Overkill Twice and thus I warned Overkil that he would be SD'd if caught in again. That the system stil counted them as 2 podds for the day.
It was minutes after mifnioght that I turn in on.. Not the next afternoon. Get your fax staight. As of for the complaint that you made in the second game.. I will post the Full ICQ history here in just a moment.. But you were tunneled visioned and would not let me get into the game and find out what was going on. Thanks for the appology that you sent this morning.. But this is kinda two faced

galaxi 10/14/20 7:50 PM Jhereg CLAIMS this intrusion was a mistake
made by his script. I find it INCREDIBLE that
anybody could use a script that would enter
sectors with densities in the tens of
thousands, or if holo-scanning, would enter a
sector with planets in it. I do not believe
his assertion that it was a mistake, but even
if it was, are we going to "excuse" truce
violations because of what people's scripts
do? There HAS to be accountability!
galaxi 10/14/20 7:51 PM I'm going to be away for a couple of hours: I
hope to hear a resolution to this by the time
I return. Another note, Jhereg did replace
the fighters he plowed through, but heh, if
all I have to do is replace the fighters,
that's a small price to pay to see what my
opponents are up to.
Respectuflly submitted for corp 1 by Galaxi
MajorPayne 10/14/20 8:17 PM Understand that scripts are written in
different ways for different reasons. without
trying to quess at what kind of script that he
was running, there are several, depending on
the mode that it is run in that most
deffenatlly doesn't care about density at all.
MajorPayne 10/14/20 8:17 PM In a game with truce: it isn't a violation for
them to enter yoursector.. It is a violation
if they do something once they are there.
Don't take that statement to litereal.
MajorPayne 10/14/20 8:19 PM again in a game with truce: if there is a
sector that you want to protect then protect
it. Make there scripts hang. The best way to
make there scripts hang is to put 200k to 400k
figs in the sector. A good gridding script is
going to try to go to each sector that it can.
but it is made to attack one time (as if there
was one fig in the sector) some attack with
999 figs as the attack comes into play.
MajorPayne 10/14/20 8:19 PM I write my scripts to attack with whatever the
ship can attack with in one attack. if I don't
get to a command prompt then I am hung. These
scripts are not ment to be offensive.. I doubt
that Jhereg is trying to be offensive.
However I am not sure I will come into the
game and ask him.
MajorPayne 10/14/20 8:19 PM Also in a game were there isn't a truce the
best that you can do or anyone for that matter
is to have people make money. have others
build planets and also map in some way. Don't
expect to keep a base that you started with
after truce. ALWAYS MOVE. this way. you stand
a better change of remaining hidden. There is
no way for me to tell you how to select a
base. Everyone has there own oppinion.
galaxi 10/14/20 11:08 PM 52nd_HeatSink(21:07 PM) :
<<<Overkill>>> is powering up weapons systems!
Shipboard Computers <<<Overkill>>> destroyed
1802 fighters.
<<<Overkill>>> captured your Star Freighter in
combat!
For abandoning ship, you lost 1528 experience
points.
You fled in your Escape Pod to sector 2
I suupose you have justification for tHIS
action, too, which took place at around 11:00
pm?
MajorPayne 10/14/20 11:09 PM You really don't have to get smart.. This is
an offensive move.. Thanks for letting me
know I will Talk to him now..
galaxi 10/14/20 11:09 PM I'm done with your server, ><ide corp is
greatly offended, and i see now why ppl didn't
wanna play here after the mess you had with
res. you BETTER get your server and pet
players like overkill under control or NOBODY
will play here
galaxi 10/14/20 11:10 PM I'm cbying
MajorPayne 10/14/20 11:10 PM That is fine if you wnat to take off I do
understand.. talk to ya later
galaxi 10/14/20 11:12 PM oh you have nothing to say about your buddy
overkill attacking my corpie?
galaxi 10/14/20 11:12 PM i suupose there's a justification for THAT,
too right? like plowing through 100k ftrs?
galaxi 10/14/20 11:13 PM did you know that when i came back in the game
earlier, aftert they hung my script, i was met
with 250 mines, 150k or so off fyrs, and
almost lost my ship? laying off ftrs on
someone who dropped is a TRUCE?
galaxi 10/14/20 11:13 PM this is a JOKE
MajorPayne 10/14/20 11:13 PM First of all he isn't my buddy. I will get to
the problem.. You need to calm down. If you
want to threaten me again you can leave.. I
handle problems on a one on one bassis
galaxi 10/14/20 11:14 PM i am not threatening you major, i just think
this is a violation of good faith
galaxi 10/14/20 11:14 PM and yeah, that kind of thing INFURIATES me
because i am a person of high honor
MajorPayne 10/14/20 11:14 PM read what you have typed to me.. and then quit
sending me messages till I can get to it.
galaxi 10/15/20 10:48 AM (1) I would like to apologize if said
anything inappropriate to you last night when
I was angered by the THIRD serious breach of
"truce" in your game. I had just recruited
that guy they podded after 2 other teammates
had quit in disgust already. He came donw
kinda hard on me because he thought that I had
misled him about a truce. So I under a lot
pressure from both ends.
galaxi 10/15/20 10:51 AM (2) I would like to thank you for taking the
time you did to explain how many of these
scripts and auto-trader/ssm scripts work.
Back when I played last, this kind of stuff
was in it's infancy, and an auto port-pair
trader that haggled was still considered by
many to be cheating.

So I'm getting used
to a whole parsdigm shift in ethics and
attitude in tw today. Like MANY others I
guess... but i am grateful to you for taking
the time to
galaxi 10/15/20 10:53 AM explain things like you did. That was really
nice, and GREATLY appreciated. =)
(3) I feel that I must make a public comment
about the games at Imperial Outpost. Every
major game you've hosted that drew upper
echelon players has ended badly. There are
many who doubt Overkill's assertion of message
corruption in that previous game, since it
wasn't happening to anybody but his corp.
galaxi 10/15/20 10:55 AM He might have written a script that was
interfering with game out put or something,
there are MANY possible answers, but fact of
the matter is, the other big corp in that game
had them on the run after 3 or 4 days of
outstanding play. The reason I was pressing
you for a declaration of winner was that in my
previous experience hosting tw games and
bbs's, things like this can dog ya for a long
time if people don't get closure.
galaxi 10/15/20 10:57 AM People put a lot of hard work into these
games, and they don't like unresolved
outcomes. Let theplayers negotiate a winner,
or simply come forth and post the number of
colos, ftrs and cash each corp had and those
results speak for themselves (assuming they
all had the highest planet avail at the time,
etc.) Anyway, you run your board the way you
will, and I'll voice my opinions the way I
will, and we can agree to disagree, but I
wanted to
galaxi 10/15/20 10:58 AM give you the courtesy of advance notice that I
plan to make a post at EIS about my
experiences at your server.
Thanks for hosting the games, Major. It's a
tough, thankless job, and I'm glad there's
people like you still willing to do it. =)
