I did no such thing. Most games don' normally last this long (going by most recent history). I will come up with a solution that will determine the winner. That will be some variation of lives left, players left, grid, assets, ect. I do not have a time frame either to make this determination but would let the game go on until the 6 month point before it came to that.

Unless the 2 captains can agree on something prior o that.


My 2 cents.... I was sent a copy of last night's fed chat.

ANYONE can turtle and accumulate assets. No skill there...

We started this game one player short, soon after lost two players due to connectivity issues. Yet, we kept playing...

Even with those odds, we successfully invaded a defended base.

We chased them out of a second defended base.

We maintain and successfully defend the majority of the grid.

In my eyes, we've won this game by any standard. They with their superior numbers failed to even attempt to retake a defended base.

TBH as the host said he'd call it, my guys are willing to continue to grid. Word from Chaos is his machine may be fixed soon...

Until my guys say they're done, I as Captain do not concede.

The point is--------- That we one the lottery tourney but killing all of you and taking all of your assets. We didn't say "we're close enough, give the win to us"

If you want to win, come get us..........

Same goes for you, if you don't want to wait for TBH to call it, come kill us.. we're easy, very few lives left.

Heh...

Jed is like the energizer bunny... he just keeps going and going....

He's continuing to refine his gridding script, that's dang near impossible to stop now. It will come in handy in future games.

And, in the end no one knows how TBH is going to score this game, we figure 99% grid is worth something. ;)


Not impossible to stop Jed's dridding, I do it daily. Well, I slow him way down anyway. There is always a way to mess up someone's progress. Right now we are playing foton wars. And most of your team is on 4 deaths and can't afford to take risks.
Gridding is not going to win you the game. And I don't care what some 3rd party decides after the rules have been set. Hell, I can't even get the host to post a death count up in here.
No one cares about this game anymore. But if Jed wants to spend sleepless nights gridding to no effect, that is up to him.




I care, jed cares, Iron Ranger cares, Loc its still with us. even cruncher cares and shes dead. im at the keys almost every night or we are over on crunchers server profecting scripts in the test game. the only people who don't really seam to care are is you guys. you have been trying to end this game ever since KB got killed. if you really want it to end so bad quit so we can complete our victory.


KB's death has absolutely nothing to do with anything. You cannot win this game! But neither can we. So it is over. You will have to accept that fact eventually. As they say, a wish in one hand and............. well you know the rest.

All of a sudden I feel like this game just went from a well pre-established rule driven game to an undefined personal standards game. Is that how we decide winners now, not by taking out all of the enemy and controlling who can come into the game, but by some 3rd party's opinion based on some made up formula.
Well if that is true, I won't be playing in any more tourneys hosted by any of these deciders in the future. I like to know the criteria to win before I start, not after the fact.
And Oh BTW, you have more deaths and more players with 4 deaths on the edge. The odds that the next player to be knocked out is on your team.

Some pings are over 1500 and I can not even log out of the game, I have to disconnect.

This is plainly LAME

Thanks all this game was a lot of fun and never boring. thanks to all my corpies. and a big thanks to Xanos aka jed aka gridding master. the game ended in a stalemate but speaking for myself. I will always feel we won. thanks to aces for sticking it out with us. and i would like to say for all future tounry's we either remove the death limit or at least set it high enough as to where mothing and invading are possible and a point system is a must!

thanks again all

Well, GG all! It seems to me that after we took out Iron Ranger your team decided they could no longer win. In fact, you could not have won even with IR. But if declaring you won makes Cruncher and SK'r feel better, who am I to interject reality?

Again, Well played all, especially Flying Aces for showing that even when we get behind, we can come back and out cash and out play anyone!
