PlanetsCentral

but I see your logic - the Russian barbarians should be sitting like a mouse under a broom when the great white lord came. And when the barbarians attacked the great white lord, we will complain to the UN.

The question if I regard Russians or some of them to be barbarian is a different topic which we may gladly discuss in a different thread.

This whole thread is about the Russians who play VGA Planets on this server and spoil every game they could. Some successfully, some not. Edit: In fact there have been some games where I was able to draw one or two Russian players away from their usual alliance. Don't want to leave this unsaid!

I remember when I started to play at PlanetsCentral about 5 years ago. My first game was Pleiades 16 and already back then there had been a need to form a 5-race-alliance in order to stand a ground against the Russian dominated previously formed 5-race-alliance - including the Robot who has been pressed in by threatening him with a swift and violent end otherwise. I certainly can't tell if this behavior has been shown before so I appreciate if other players are able to provide some insights.

The basic misunderstanding in your mindset seems to be that you think you have to win every game you play, whatever it may cost and moreover no matter how much it will ruin the game for the others. This is not the fucking war! This is a game we all play for fun and sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

I can't tell how many players have quit playing because of their frustration about how every game begins the same. And the only way not to let them all end the same is to do the very same shit like you do: to gang together in big numbers! If you go on like this you will end up with only Tequila War games where you guys can play with yourselves...

Kobrov and darkclow, I would appreciate your comments on this matter as well. I still hope we can solve this issue and find a compromise for future games that everybody is able to accept.
