This is getting silly . . .
« on: May 23, 2005, 09:34:56 pm »
I really think Hexx needs to switch sides   ;D

Seriously, WTF can we do?   Are people bored?

I'm improving te starting ship to an NCL so new players can hop on and not be lost.   

Come on Blue people, this game is dull without having anyone to shoot at

It started Saturday at 3:30.  Deck stripping and refinishing took most of the weekend.  I got only four hours in Saturday, and none on Sunday. 

The rest of the week, however, will hopefully be a different story for me.  It's only Monday.

Jar Jar numbers did take a strong upswing Saturday night/Sunday morning in the wee hours.  Don't know what that was all about, but suddenly there were 12 Jar JArs and 12 Darths on, then slowly the Darths logged off as 2AM turned into 4AM.  Hopefully I won't have to stay up *quite* that late from now on to see so many fellow Jar Jars  Hopefully, we didn't screw ourselves by taking the Jar Jar name.  ;)

After 4am it was the resverse as hidden reserves of Darths replaced the waning numbers of Jar Jars making it 3 to 1 again until about 9 am when it evened for a little while.  I spent 12 hours on that day and saw a Blue advantage for maybe 1 hour relatively even odds (less than 2 to 1) for maybe 2 and over 2 to one in favor of red for the other nine mostly 3 or 4 to one.

I have been very very shocked as the player lists looked very even on paper, but after 2 days it looks like a blowout on the scales of Ragnarok and GW5

but still having fun  ;)

That's what really bites me in the ass, the teams look dead even on paper with an equal number of crackheads on each side.

the overall turnout is small, but the Red've got many more over the blue for most of the time.

What can be done to get more to show, without turning this into a cheesefest.

but still having fun  ;)

I'm bored, it's pulling teeth fighting the AI and PvP is really difficult to find in the houirs I'm flying.

Well I found alot defending our planet in Imperial space holding off all contenders, (when they would contend) untill they took it while I was at work.

Goota give em a hand for their persistance, was a matter of time holding so many off

Just have to kill elsewhere.   ;D

Well you Jar Jar guys have done well continually pusing us back in the northeast.  It is us who are making sure not to lose our planet just like you guys were in the west. GJ

es the numbers were balanced late night when I logged on and it ebbed and flowed a bit with the Jar Jars having the majority a good bit of the time.  I'd say approximately even 40% Darths up slightly 10% and Jar Jars in majority 50%.

And we avenged our loses in the West   :P

Nice efforts by Netman and someguyon drugs trying to save the Red planet.  You were outgunned but fought bravely nonetheless <S>.

It wasn't "taken out" it was liberated after asking to rejoin the Federation.

P.S.  You parking fees are in arrears.  Please make payment promptly or we will repossess your ship.

I hope you are supplied up then, cause there aint no resupply points for you anywhere on the blue side of the map   ;)

And the LOS from Terran to Fed space has been cut (and fully boosted) as well.....

Earlier this morning there was a period where it was 8 Feds to 0 Terrans.  A lot of sweeping up was done...  ;)

Well, a year ago, I would have said:

"Have all the Darths only bringing up EEK missions while the Jar Jars do not."

But, I guess that joke is getting really old. ;D

Made it back.. if not for Jar Jar Binks I wouldn't have taken much more than a scratch.

Add insult to injury, he tricks me into letting him go.  And I of course fell for it.  :banghead:

Jar Jar Binks

Meesa just had a Gungan battle dance with DarthAntiPaladinRM again.  Meesa DDL+ Meesa gonna DIE!!! and himma have a CC+.  Him tresspassing on blue path over black holes.

First pass him naughty and try to use scatterpack against me.  Meesa run circles around them things and strike himsa CC+ for 30 points internal. 

Meesa come around again after them silly missiles run out of fuel.  Him trya the scatterpack again.  It no work again. 

Then him try mining me path.  Me dances around mines like on stones across creek (except me not fall on mines).  Meesa swoops around mines and does 6 more points.   

Then me dances away and comes back again to do 2 and 20 points. 

When meesa come back himma try mines again.  Meesa still not fall on them.  Himma not get hurt that time.  Himma get lucky and destroy all 4 torpedoes beforum me fireum.  Engineer say you wanna attack again can only do so with dirty words.  Meesa go home for dictionary.  Meesa still have half my hull.   Almost half me hull.   Meesa tell him me going for repairs.  Me not say where me base is.   Meesa have no parts on ship anymore.  Himma make me use them all up.

Him good guy considering him a Darth.  Battle dance last almost 20 minutes.
