Hi All,

I've had some shitty news to add to a big pile of sh**tyness in my life.

So taking a break.

Apologies to my team. Just deleted discord and prob won't be back here for a while. Need to concentrate on my family at the moment!

Good luck to everyone, probably a bit late to replace me too. I'll leave bot on from VM, so they can use and abuse it as required.

Thanks for hosting SK as always.

Cheers
Hammer

Sorry to hear this Hammer. take care of your family....

----MOD Break------


Removed trash talk and will continue to do so.....

For the record.... Hammer did return to the game and did play his turns after stating that he was done playing. This is in no way a breach of the rules. and tho I have not talked to him I do not believe that hammer did this as part of some tactic to throw the other teams off guard. However, I also feel that if Hammer was coming back he should have notified everyone as such. This matter is over and done with and time to move on with the game.


This is all i will say on this matter...

Hi All,

SK/Spy let me know I caused some drama.

I don't know what was said, nor does it matter or would I be offended particularly. I think the gist was that this was some sort of tactic/trickery.

I'd like to assure you that it was not a premeditated 'trap'. I'm just currently an erratic, tired, irrational person, who's not going through a great time, and will probably continue to be erratic, tired, irrational at times.

I'll point out, I was ALWAYS going to keep my bot active. I'm always going to check the logs, regularly. I gave me email to the guys so they could ask me for help or get my VM back up as required. Addicts are going to addict..

When MD killed me, I planned on just bringing bot back in, it's a massive disadvantage being a player down. However, I had a job cancelled that afternoon, it's my only night off from the kids. So I decided screw it, let's cause some havoc. (I hadn't run turns before then, I mean, I was dead). Most of our team was at keys, judging by the usual comments in Fed, they had people at keys too. I'd written some scripts post HHT that I'd been itching to test. Found a few bugs in them, (sorry Sithra). We stopped when they finally were to tired and went to bed.

I completely see how this looks very poor from your end. I apologies for not informing everyone I was at keys. I agree, it's poor form, and looked dirty.

Going forward I personally have no idea if I'll play or not, or how often. Pretty much sums up things for me in general at the moment. Not asking for any sympathy here either, don't let it affect your game. I can't say assume I'm there, or assume I'm not, because that'll affect your game one way or the other.

Good luck!! it's a game after all, a game we are all to personally invested in

Please direct any responses to the flame forum

Sorry again SK for causing drama, i mean, it's TWs, there's always Drama

Thank you to everyone who played this game on all teams. I hope people got something out of this game, both new and vet players.


Just wanted to say thank you to all 7 players on our corp. We had a great game and played well together. The start up was amazing after a few blunders in our test games.

The players:

One left before the game started.
One left in the heat of battle (4 days no sleep at least)
One bot, more or less
One sub
One who capped most of the winning planets
One who thought going on Vacation the last week of the game during a pandemic is a good thing.
One happy CEO.

I would play with everyone again!!

Thank you for making the game fun again for everyone.

Flip.
