ZIGGY > have you emialed NS-Guy? He really shouldn't be attacking another forum player. We will have to retaliate if it is intentional. Where is he/you?
I attacked NSLoDwKeef and have his planet under seige.
He only signed in 16hrs ago which was unfortunatley too late for him. I hope you will not hold that against me; he did not return my email which I sent on 25th Feb, seeking an alliance.
I have a strong system partner called doo, he has 15 friends also in Alpha sector. Maybe the two groups can work together.
slashburn
EDIT
My 1 destoyer destroyed a lv2 SB in the nxt system. I have lvl 7 physics now though.
whew :o after a bit of thought and sleep later I am now convinced that his attacks wont be a problem, he hasnt sent them yet its just I read on this very thread that he wasnt playing anymore so hopefully I can get some XP ;/
I'm thinking about offering to work together with Aldheir. He already snagged his second planet, and probably isn't a noob at AW like me. I think we'll have a better chance working together. I also should probably tell him why I attacked WhispyThing (the AFKer), just to clear everything up.

Shouldnt be too long till we set up the official alliance then yeah?

If we're going to be doing an alliance this time around it's got to be done PROPERLY.
This means making two wings.
The TSA Wing will be the competitors, exclusive only to the best of the best players we have. The NS wing will be our fun wing, the not serious alliance. The NS wing wont aim to win but does aim to be several things. A training ground so newbies can be protected, A support group for the TSA wing as well as those in the NS wing, and in general, a way of making both alliances look stronger.
One of the more competent AW players will need to startup the TSA wing, I'll start saving for the NS wing once I've conquered my system and can afford to save the PP for it.
ns_mullet and nslodwkeef are my brothers accounts.... the **** lol hes going to hate me for posting this muahahhahaha, oh mullet and ns mullet are not the same person i know both, mullet is the guy who posts in this forum

I've just gotten my third planet and made friends with two people in the neighbouring Alpha El Mara el Musalsela (27/-45) - system; arconius and nukehome. This is the only system visable to me with bio 4.
They are talking about me joining the IS alliance. I'm teaming up with them but will join the NS alliance when it is getting off the ground.
Looks like I've been overtaken by other people now as my extra bonus's have gone.

Apparently last round, the Basalt Monolith was the "best selling" artifact since culture was so important. Affording to buy an artifact takes a while. Just save up SU's and PP's for a while, then sell them to get enough money to buy one. Personally, even if I could buy an artifact right now, I wouldnt, just because ships are more important at this point.
Hmm thanks cabal. An su is only worth 406 at the moment <sobs> I'm saving mine for a while. Anyone around from last beta that has any gut feel on when/if increase will be?
I have launched 3 colony ships to my neighbouring system which has 2 allies in it. Lands March 05! I should have culture 4 by then (57:59 atm).
How would you best take out someone that currently has a SB8, has been 10hrs idle (so atleast 200PP in the pot + 1su)?
The memory jar is surprisingly cost effective. If you have enough culture to expand steadily , it will greatly help you smash weaker players with your superior science and fleet.
Don't invest in artifacts past level one, just as a warning for the future. In almost any case, a Trade Agreement will be more beneficial.
Personally, I'm happy with a Memory Jar 2, and that seems to be what I end up with every round so far. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I've been forced to split my system 3 ways, since it had only 1 afk, a ns forum member, and a very competant player (I'm only slightly ahead of him, and that says enough about his competancy to say that I can't knock him off easily).
I'm allying with him now, but I am wondering if I should knock off one of them. I'm the most active of my system, and since the competant player is in France, I can send ships just when he goes to bed from an adjacent planet to his main one. My plan is as soon as my ships can travel 1 planet distance in 8 hours (the time he is logged off for sleep (which I've observed)), to take out his main planet.
However, I must admit taking out my ns ally has been surprisingly tempting. I've chosen the most moral route though, and am not knocking him off. Seems I'll be forced to expand to a new system soon!
