Is it possible, to do an shuffle after tick 72 by the speedgame 3 ? By Speedgame 1 and 2, after the inactives are deleted, a few galaxys had only 1-4 players left, i think it`s more fun when we play with full galaxys !!!

noah02 · 10 Feb 2005, 13:25

I agree but I think only galaxys with less than 5 players should get shuffled into galaxys that have less than 5 players tbh so we got more than 10 galaxys to attack

but otherwise yes your right some poor guy left in on his own coz his gal left him for dust is a fair one.

Im not sure if they can even shuffle :s

Judge · 10 Feb 2005, 14:47

I agree, a shuffle is essential otherwise there will be even less players (probably all the galaxies with 5 or fewer will just give up)

Kal · 10 Feb 2005, 15:10

becuase this is a week long event with a start time suring europeans we will probably not delete inactives, only unused accounts. It is also not possible to do a shuffle.

If that is the case?

Then would it be ok to create multiple accounts so that I can get one in a decent galaxy? <<joke btw>>

On a serious note, how about making exile costs 0 (if possible) then we can shuffle ourselves around untill we get a decent galaxy ?

Kal · 10 Feb 2005, 15:57

then it wouldn;t be random

Being in a galaxy alone or with 2 or 3 people doesnt exactly make for a good chance of playing to any sort of decent level.

At least if we are allowed to selfexile for free (maybe put a restriction on the number of times) and that any exile will be to a galaxy with more players than the one you left it would allow some sort of shuffle, but with a degree of randomness?

no coding is going to be done

fair enuff.

I hope that the 10 players who manage to get in a galaxy together enjoy initiating roids, because if it stays the way it is with so few complete or near complete galaxies they will be doing nothing else for a week.

ohw never mind just hope ppl in my gal will be active.

ThrillSeeker · 10 Feb 2005, 17:15

Delete the inactives, and relocate the people that remain in smaller galaxies

Kal · 10 Feb 2005, 18:16

there is still plenty of time until tick start for people to sign up, and we are definetly hoping for a high turn out

Waku · 10 Feb 2005, 19:41

and im hoping to get laid tonight.... wont happen either

_Kila_ · 10 Feb 2005, 20:39

can there at elast be a shuffle before ticks start? cos htis is the 3rd day of signup and ive still got only 2 ppl in myy gal.... SG #1 i had 10 by the end of the 1st day of signup. n SG #2 was similar

Kal · 10 Feb 2005, 21:24

And you probably never will

Hehehe

How you doin m8?

Cannon_Fodder · 11 Feb 2005, 12:43

god the spelling is atrocious here... there wont be a shuffle because there isnt coding for it and noone can/will code. Plus noone wants to do it by hand so your kinda stuck...

TheRat · 11 Feb 2005, 23:10

Running a 1-week speedgame with flying start and no shuffle? Oh gosh, cant wait O_o
The previous two speedgames have clearly shown that no shuffle = private gals.

Gary · 14 Feb 2005, 01:50

No shuffle!! Great, im stuck with two inexperienced players, and I will probably be twated, even playing as Cathaar, because there will be no defence. The only saving grace here is that there are wave distorters that I can build as a means of reducing incommings...

It's a free game stop moaning about it. You should be grateful that they're giving you the chance to have any sort of game anyway

I am grateful. However, I would like some other galaxy mates, otherwise the community aspect of the game in this sense would be unappealing. Unless you are one to like being in the same galaxy with only two other people?

The Real Arfy · 14 Feb 2005, 02:28

I do find it annoying how I see some galaxies with 8 or 9 planets with 18 roids, and then another with 1 or 2, surrounded by some no-roiders.

However, I say, teach these people the game if they don't know it, teach them how to interact more with the community. Most speedgames I play are spent trying to bring new players into the community, as are my real rounds, however I am usually lucky enough to organise my galaxy well, or in the case of SG #1, I was gifted with a great galaxy already.

Do something good for the community in return for there being a game at all, let alone a free one.

In the case of the shuffle, do it manually like you did in r11, or at least merge the smaller gals so everyone haas at least 5 planets. (Don't split up the gals that currently stand though, it would just cause an unneccessary uproar).

Well they did say that there won't be a shuffle before the game started. You aren't the only person in the situation you're in. At the end of the day it's a free game so use it to try out some stuff. If this happened to you in the paid game then fair enough complain, so would everybody else.

arbondigo · 14 Feb 2005, 02:54

And it starts on Tuesday no? There's loads of time to get new people in your gal.

we have more starting gals this time, so the potential for private gals is removed

Icewar · 14 Feb 2005, 10:11

but one question !!! I search on all galaxys. A lot of em has more then 6 members (10) and other Galaxys has only 1 or 2. I don`t believe, that at this time, some much new signups come up to fill all galaxys. And an other question: When u post the rules for that speedgame ? (Havoc Style/which style/Ressources etc. )

CrazySpoon · 14 Feb 2005, 14:19

Yer, I wonder what the rules etc are
