What about end at turn 80 unconditionally?.. Seems, there's nothing left to change here, anyway.

The game can end now as far as I'm concerned. But the Lizards made a large jump in score between turns 77-78, there's still a significant chance that #1/#2 could swap positions. The ranking of the rest of us seems pretty clear though.

It always needs few turns more for other players complete their tasks. End at turn 80 seems good.

I think ending at turn 80 is good.

Congrats Kobrov on a last-second victory (and for putting me well out of contention).

He may thank to Bird for making Lizard winner. Seems nobody fought Lizard, neither Crystal, nor Bird.

I don't mind the Gorn winning the game. Of course I would prefer to win myself but victory based on ptscore favours some races and the Romulan is not one of them. More important from my perspective is that you Siba paid for your over aggression. :smile:

Gorn always wins PTScore games, if nobody fight him. Just question of time. I played Gorn my previous two games and made 3+ and 5+ mln of PTScore.

Well, after I was done with the Borg I don't believe there was a scenario for me (within the remaining time) to outscore both you and the Gorn. I focus on you cause you were much higher in ptscore at that time and you were aggressive towards me - seems like a natural choice - no hard feelings.

It's not a big trick to blowing planets with cloaked heavy battleships. Didn't remember you fought any ships of mine :smile: While i destroyed near 10+ of Colonial's, and some Fed's and Evil's battleships. And what aggression you talk about?.. All through the game I stayed in defence against Evil, Rebel, Tholian, Colonial, and later Bird.

Ahh, so it seems we played diffrent games. :smile: Stayed in defence? Huh, having 100+ planets. And mainly enemy ships were exploding. Nah, you were just smashing weak opponents.

I bet that without me attacking you you would easly won the game with 2M+ score.

And you were aggressive towards me. You were attackimg my planets and transport ships. Short memory?

In NS11 you are doing the same without any reason. Just pure over aggression seems to be your playstyle.

It's normal situation, while one half of players are dead or weak at the end of game, the other half have near 100 planets each. In this game at least 2,3,4 have near 100 planets.

And mainly enemy ships were exploding. Nah, you were just smashing weak opponents.

It would be strange if were exploding mainly mine. That's how we play.

I bet that without me attacking you you would easly won the game with 2M+ score.

May be, or not. Is this a problem?.. You simple choose Gorn instead of me :smile:

And you were aggressive towards me. You were attackimg my planets and transport ships. Short memory?

There's not sim city. It was enemy planets, and enemy ships, isn't it?. "VGA Planets is a multi-player, space strategy WAR game" (c) Google.

No, it's not a problem. Just stop whining that your over aggressive playstyle which usually let you stomped games this time was met with resistance and you didn't win. Don't blame me for this.

I expect in North Star games all players should play for living, and fight all around.

If some of them will divide opponents on friends and foes, like in alliance games, it means that VGA Planets are dead, and there's nothing to play for anymore. So, it's very strange and scary to me to hear about "aggressive playstyle" in war game.

You are delusional. You waged war against anyone in your reach and now you are surprised that so many players were fighing you and not the Gorn.

This is by Stefan about NS games: "It is also not the intention to force you to be hostile to everyone you encounter"

It's your choice you are fighting everyone. It's not intended behaviour.

I don't have friends in NS games. I have races I am fighting against by my or their choice and races I'm not fighting against (by both not communicated choice) at this point in time which can change in the future. That's all.

I surprised that, seems, most of players not fighting at all.

If nobody fight Gorn, then Gorn wins. It's always clear.

But why nobody fought Fed, Gorn, Crystal, Colonial?.. It's strange, as for me.
