Neptune's Pride

[Josquius]

This game eats too much time.
Too much thinking of 'i need to be online at 5 to build research, send off my fleets, etc...'

[Grey Fox]

Never played WoW, eh Tyr?

[Fireblade]

Szmik you fucking traitor.

[szmik]

Should the Agelastan Imperium take this disavowal of the Szmikerian Merchant Republic's own general as a refusal to meet our just requests for compensation for the unwarranted and destructive incursion into our territory?

I guess it is rhetorical question considering Agalestan fleet incursion.

[szmik]

Szmik you fucking traitor.

Republican fleet just secures interests of its merchants from Firebladian enemies as Fireblade Empire is unable to do it on its own.

I gave you well over twelve hours to respond, didn't I? You can have no complaints given you started this.

Well, I must sleep and work, just so you know

[Tonitrus]

Et tu, Tonitrus?

THEN FALL FIREBLADE.

Alrai will serve as atonement for the fallen of Arided.  The Tonitrian Hive thanks you for your generosity.  You need not fear further invasion.

Since you disavowed your admiral AFTER I'd messaged you in-game requesting reparations, and then waited 15 hours after clarification was requested, I repeat you can have no complaints.

Oh yeah, its not the worst. I used to play Planetarion, Hyperiums and the like.
But the first post advertised it as a one day log in thing

[Jaron]

Uh, it is log in once a day. Around payday would be best. 

[Agelastus]

Uh, it is log in once a day. Around payday would be best. 

Which would have meant me logging in to find Dnoces lost, probably irretrievably. Yesterday was quite frantic at times.

In my experience, that is more likely that you weren't paying attention. Unless you have an enemy star practically overlapping yours, it simply is not possible for them to get a fleet there so quickly you don't even see it coming. And if such a star IS that close, you should either have a fleet there or be keeping a close watch on your environs. Laziness is not an excuse in this game.

Don't be a dick - up until a few hours ago, my scan range was the lowest in the game, as you should be aware if you were paying attention. And of course it was garrisoned - Szmik calculated that 70 ships would beat the garrison given my obvious concern with Ulmont (as he could have deduced from our respective posts), but didn't allow sufficient margin for the possibility I could shuffle in additional forces quickly enough. He risked a third of his fleet of the time on the gambit, anyway. Szmik launched his ships blind, and got bloody lucky. He caught me shuffling forces because of the tension with Ulmont, but if he'd launched 30 minutes later, he wouldn't even have held Dnoces for the 20 minutes he did. On the other hand, if I'd ignored the game, I wouldn't have been able to shuffle the forces and make the bargains I did that let me win.

Besides, the two relevant stars are almost exactly 0.75 light years apart. As soon as one side or the other gains the first speed tech, surprise is possible if you only log in once every 24 hours as you suggest.
