  06/Nov/2023 Birds (Titan 22)

  • Dahoudaboudadoudawou: Hey Assuming that PaulManfu is the room-mate of one of the other players, it is even more strange that he does not play properly. When he joined PlanetsCentral he must have been enlisted by his ...
  • Milko: Hi, I know Manfu personally, I tried to introduce him to the world of VGAP but without success (he doesn't even read the forum and therefore doesn't know about the discussion). I myself (due to ...
  • snouka: Well, from my point of view you dont need to do that. But on the other hand, it also makes no sense to join a game when the person is not really interested. If he's up to it, ask him to find a mentor ...
  • Manosfighter: And again we have to wait for the bird empire What is this guy managing? Maybe he has planed something big and will overthrow all of us in the end

  • Dahoudaboudadoudawou: Well, I always wanted to play a last man standing game, why not this one? JK I'd be glad if we could add something between 10 and 20 turns in order to prepare for the end. I have spent my resources ...
  • streu: As a middle-ground between "now" and "at least 20 more", I set the end condition to "approximately turn 90". I hope that's ok for everyone. --Stefan

• 09/Sep/2023 Server maintenance

  The ISP has announced maintenance in the night from September 11 to September 12 (German time). This should not affect any host runs, but the server will be down for a few hours. Usual heads-up: if ...
