but in this case we are only boxing sparrings. They are not playing to end at first position! They are playing to destroy few races that they realize too late what is happening.

... in the silent backyard....

Directly to the point.

Sorry Streu, at the moment I don't see an ease comming to the feelings around. Leaving the games is meanwhile the only answer to the poison (chain alliances) that came to the running games.

Some benefits ingame are without compare - like (Tachyon device, webmines, refit and gravitonic) and when most of them become accumulated in only a few hands and this happens in right a couple of games in a row, the refusal to continue playing is the only option we players have to call attention to the grievances.

Well, you've been the Klingon with Gravitonics and Webmines as well, and the complaint I got by PM read alike: "why are you playing unfair by giving them Webs?" There is some point where "well-played diplomacy" turns into "frustrating wall of allies", and that point seems to be a little different for everyone. But a predetermined alliance surely is over the line.

But that all will not change the past. I'll prepare a no-allies game and we'll see how that turns out. (Anonymous no-communication games will take a little longer.)

Stefan, the comparison isn't legit and you know that.

I never use my neighbours traits or tech to found the complete game strategy on it, other than some certain persons here. Some traits must be kept minimalistic and at least I interacted with YOU nearly alone.

I understand that you need to be diplomatic, but you won't succeed in it with counter-critic.

I fight the majority of my battle myself and don't leave it to my partner, nor do I play federalistic.

But nevertheless, the argument is about balancing and disbalancing. Every disbalanced game will soon come to it's end - it has no future.

And with a lack of program mechanics we need some temperance in the exploit of disbalancing effects. Everyone should reflect that on it's own. But the main directive ought to be: Win with your own race - not with a foreign one.

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
