Hi all.

For me vgap was always a game of combat and the one that conquers the others is the winner. For me the financial aspect of the game is only to support the combat aspect of the game.

I've played with the borg once, and it was easy for me to be one the first 3 positions and there wasn't much of a fight.

But for a last man standing type of game, we might be in it for a long time because of distances and the strength of the players.

And i think, after a while the game starts to loose some of the interest because it takes a lot of time to get near your enemy.

I sugest a faster pace game and a smaller map focusing then on the combat aspect of the game.

If not possible, then the guy with the most score wins. There are methods of scoring aren't there.

Nevertheless, it's complicated. A person that doesn't have enemies nearby and concentrates on conquering planets and expanding will win if the other players are fighting because fighting involves loosing ships, planets, resources and therefore points.

That is why i prefer last man/woman :smile: standing

Voting for what?.. To end game or to find the winner?.. What about other places?..

Voting for whatever you want. Because we didn't fix it at the start of the game now we can't force anyone. You want any change you need all other players to agree. That's my point of view.

Well, I propose voting to end at turn 80 :smile: Or let us vote for end condition.

Ok, my vote here is no.

What if race with one advanced anticloak ship hide it, and say he'll never agree to end?.. Which players may vote?.. What weight will their votes have?.. What are the rules to make decision agter voting?..

Well, I said players who can still influence the game. At this point we have 5 such players (Gorn, Klingon, Orion, Tholian and Cylon) - they may vote. It's rather simple. If you don't feel you can win the game any longer just skip your vote. Each vote is equal.

I think we need some formal conditions, if players couldn't find the consensus. Just remind you first message in this topic :smile:

Sure, go ahead, propose something. So far you are the only one here having some issues. :smile:

If you'll not want to stop at turn 80, you may offer others to continue, turn 150 or so :smile: But if others will not agree, we should end, even you personally wish to continue. That's how i feel it.

Well, if in any point of time in this game I will feel I can't win any longer I will just not vote, I will let the players who are still fighting to decide. Buf if I'm in, fighting for the win or at least feeling like this why should I agree to end? Anyone who joined this game should be aware (seeing the open end setting ) it can take a while to determine the winner.

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