odd, I just tested with a 2 second delay and a 4 second duration - the player being torped received the message about the launch at the same time the torp hit in v2.10.

Why do you think everyone is getting botted? I’ll tell ya first hand your wrong and everyone that buy what your saying.. Welp ignorance is bliss, right?


Don’t forget.. YOU bot all your corpies to do that, maybe that’s where you get it from.

So basicly I could go over there assuming you don’t ban me as soon as ya figure out I’m there, grid away and you can’t stop me, Once I find your base you won’t be able to stop the invasion.

I would hope so, and not just people logging in creating an account and then logging out never to return. What would it mean if that were to happen?


I wonder how much vid has botted him.. Oh I know, not at all.


Why do you feel the need to fight.. It seems simple to me Just tell people to come to your server, end of story.


Grid them into their base and take them out without the ability to be stopped (got it)

People that run scripts are at keys…. I still don’t get why you don’t think they aren’t.

Yes you like to argue for the sake of argument rather then the simple resolution… if you don’t want to use scripts go over to crunchers server or else your just a guppy for all the evil script writers out there. If you go to crunchers Your just a guppy for her. She plays on her own server, uses scripts and T-edit. Yes Yes got it.

No it's broken too..

AMEN!!!

Excellent! We have a bug report!

Actually no, I would not ban you, I would log your activity. Great test of the beta!

It was an example... was hopping you could relate to, guess not and no I won't be heading over to your server, your personal guppy pond is safe.

Sigh....so once again we have gone either on a huge tangent, or we have gotten incredibly defensive.

I think we are STILL missing the point. If you had read my initial post on this, I think 2 things stand out

1. I am in favor or scripts

2. I think I was VERY polite (unlike some others)

What I think we are missing is this. I LOVE TW. I really do. How many games am I playing right now? NONE. Zero. Not a one.

Now before you get all childish and say "well good, we dont want you" why dont you actually think about it. Here is someone who loves playing TW, but isnt. I care enough to write a post, but I wont play.

For example (assuming there is REAL competition). I like unlims. I like subzero edits. I like the 3 day truce. The problem is this: No matter how much time I put in, once the truce is over, even if I have more planets, more colos, more money, more figs, more grid, I lose. EVERY TIME. Why? Because I have to sit there and watch people run ALL over my grid, and i cannot stop them. And worse, the moment I use ANY public script to grid, i get maybe 3 sectors before I am either photoned, or podded, or SD'd.

Why am I going to donate 4-7 days of my life playing a game where the outcome is ALWAYS the same? I tried at least 10 times my last go round, with a variety of partners. The problem is none of my partners were scripters, and we could not hold our grid, nor could ANY of us re-grid using public scripts.

Prom said "Could it be that they are just better players? They know how to execute their game plan and do it. A very organized group will, in the vast majority of time, beat an unorganized group"

To this I say AWESOME!! I hope this is the case. Beat me by being better. Beat my by knowing more, executing better, having more key time...just dont beat me because you have a script I dont.

Its really kind of mind boggling that people actually defend the point, as if they are correct in their opinions.....why not just be honest?

And by honest I mean this. Just come out and say "we are not going to give up our script advantage. We know you cant beat us with public scripts and we dont care. We want to win at all costs, even to the detriment of the game itself and the player base."

At least then we dont have to bicker about whether its fair or not, and all the other nonsense. We all know its not equitable...stop trying to fool yourselves and us. I may not be able to write a script, but that doesnt make me dumb....

Who are you talking to… quotes help.

Again quotes help…

I don’t view that an issue anyone here can solve… maybe take a look at your self…

SZ is a game that was designed for scripts and team play built around aliens, the aliens are a Major factor for that edit so I guess it just goes to exp and knowledge of the edits you play.

Heh I am amused with you viewing it as a donation of your time.. When really isn’t it an investment of your time in a GAME.. Where the fun should be beneficial to you…. And again your partners need to use scripts for that edit.. One of the reasons I stick to the turn games.

We have won SZ with nothing but the public scripts that are out there….

So in your opinionated statement your saying your wrong or your in some sense a liar ???

This one just seems like a rant, must be playin a good team that plays SZ over and over.


Who called ya dumb? I must have missed it.. Oh and btw I can’t write script either but I got a clue how to mod them.

I don't have access to Kraakens bot, I don't have access Proms private cashing scripts, and I don't have access to Sings datamining scripts, yet I seem to be able to compete somewhat effectively and believe it or not I sometimes win. It's not the scripts, it's the knowledge of how to, and when to use them. As I've said several times before, if you select the wrong photon or the wrong pdrop script, you won't stop them from gridding all over you.

Well, to Big D I will say the following.

1. I agree with you. The knowledge of what script to use when, is super important.

2. I have won on occasion as well. But not against "elite" players.....B- level guys with public stuff i can beat

I guess to summarize, I will say this. I dont think Player "A" using public scripts has anywhere near the same chance of winning a game, when playing against player "B" who has private combat/gridding scripts

If I am wrong, and you have no private scripts and truly feel that you can compete on THE SAME level as those who do, then perhaps my view is tainted.

If this is the case, I would love to corp with some of you who are in this particular situation, and see how you compete against the elite private scripts. Maybe you can show me something I dont know, and change my view

I have a few scripts of my own that I've released public, and I can script, but I have no super scripts that give me a huge advantage over other players. You'll just have to talk to the people in my permacorp or that have corped with me. My advantage is that I know a few tricks of the trade that have taken me years to learn and I can't teach them in a short time. Some of them I don't even remember until that type scenario appears and I remember.
For one thing, and you can ask several players that I've played against, don't turn your planet IG's on and your sector cannons off at the same time. laff

That's cheating
