Okay, I forgive you. Coffee next weekend? I'll wear something purty.

Just wanted to post a followup, as I was reviewing old posts, I came across several of Sage's UTW game rebang notices and they all state the same information as:

Quote:
3 Day Truce ( Until The "V" Says Day 4 )


So we were right, and your assertions was false. Sordidly, ya'll seem to be afflicted with blatant dishonesty.

No, actually, you were wrong.

Star Killer is the server admin, he banged the game, and when it was discussed, he suggested it be banged Thursday night so that Saturday night would be the end of truce. That was the design and intent and has been for every truce game I've played, which is clearly a lot more than you. Going back to UTW games (which was before I even *played* tradewars, like a decade ago) to try to find some example of your incorrect assumption is laughable.

He thought that 3 day truce means V=4 not V=3. And is trying to dig back to find some example way in the past where that was once the case.

He's also annoyed that I've been killing him for sport in pretty much every game I see him in.

He thought truce wasn't over yet at V=3.

The game opened on Thursday. That's day 1, even though you only have 4 hours to play that day. The "V" screen read 0 days.

Friday is day 2. The "V" screen read 1 days.

Saturday is day 3. The "V" screen read 2 days.

At midnight the truce is over, and the "V" screen now reads 3 days.

Whoever he quoted IS WRONG!!! Yes a GameOP can be wrong too...

Well it is kinda my fault in a way for not being more clear about it. this is also one of the "unwritten" rules. its also why i dont like truce games. every truce game ive ever been in day zero HAS counted, so shadow is correct. we banged the game thursday so the truce would end sat night. in the future I will be more clear on which day and time the truce ends.

Yup. I tried to tell him that. The games are set up so there's a short window, a few hours, on day "zero" to get in, cash, colo and start your planets before extern happens quickly. That is the first day. Then you have the two full days after the first short day, for three total "days".

I admit some of this may be "tribal knowledge", but anyone who's played a truce game before should know this. And he had other guys on his team who knew. I think part of the problem is they weren't communicating.

The post I just made was concerning an argument on comms in the game, in which ONE OF YOUR OWN CORPIES had made the assertion that they always played that way at Ultimate TW--emphasizing that truce always ended when v=3. Which is therefore clearly FALSE as provided by the UTW rebangs posts made by Sage himself.

...And if you are such a skilled, elitist player then I one must ponder, what in the hell are you doing playing truce games?

It seems Sage was a bit confused, as his own posts conflict with each other:

Subject: UTW:GAME F:"BRAVE NEW WORLD":3 MAN: 20K,UNLIMITED:FRI 8/3

Sage wrote:
- 3 DAY TRUCE, UNTIL THE "V" SAYS DAY 3 AND WHEN OVER, "1 RULE / NO BUYOUTS!"


A majority of his posts just say "3 DAY TRUCE" with no explanation, and many of them have the "'V' SAYS DAY 4" error.

1. Several were under that impression, your team know that and yet remained silent about it, meanwhile our corp remained passive while your corp gridded over us and when you all were ready when offensive and started podding us left and right--no matter though, your corp failed in properly assessing us, and taking y'all out was an easy affair. Your corp is welcome to come back and give it a second try though--we promise will not be sitting in S1 hanging on a kill script for you.
2. I am not trying, I was searching for something on the forum, and saw a post by Sage and it caught my eye.
3. I did in-fact find hundreds of such examples, they are pretty much depicted in every single one of Sage's posts.

Actually, yes I am utterly incensed, or something? You want to kill everybody trying to join the game within their first x-minutes, yea, have at it. Just don't believe you are a top notch killer, because you are not. Youa re a peacock at best. ...Which it is notable that you cannot cap for crap. How many times have you been damaged by corbo now?

...You are funny though I will give you that; your never ending chatter over comms about basic game play, as if I don't know you can blow a port to take me out. Hurpa durpa.

Then really it should just be called a 48-hour truce, it is nonsensical to call it a 3-day truce, because there simply is no logical basis for doing so. ...Or otherwise is should just be posted a truce until the 2 turns 3.

But again this is neither here nor there. The point was your corp argued that Ultimate TW had always done it that way--When v=3 truce has ended and clearly that statement is an untruth.
