Man... things have changed.

In the case that you're not being sarcastic, no, the round has no winner (assuming it ever goes online again). It's barely just begun.

Nofutcha · 9 Feb 2007, 10:56

i wasn't being sarcastic. It is so different than it was in r9 when i quit, than i am not surprised by anything.

qebab · 9 Feb 2007, 11:00

Well, then I'd encourage you to stay calm, and continue the way you are right now. Last round the winner wasn't decided until the last 4-5 days, or so, and I see no reason why it should be much earlier this round.

Nofutcha · 9 Feb 2007, 11:06

Oh i'm calm. I have greater things to worry about than the winner of PA.

Achilles · 9 Feb 2007, 14:06

Apparently the reason the DNS quit last night was that the Jolt AI was too busy trying to reformat itself because of the shitness of this thread to translate url's. True story.

Not that I mean to brag too much, but I doubt many people have had more incommings than me so far (and thus the unfortunate predicament I find myself in of having to xp-whore). Since I became #1 I've averaged 5-6 waves a night -_- and my sandmans is far from accurate for roids gained/lost.

By the way, didn't writing 'True story.' at the end of extremely witty comments like that become cool like 4yrs ago? Surely it can't still be the in-thing for coolkids like yourself?

Mistwraith · 9 Feb 2007, 16:42

ALL IT TAKES TO LOOSE THAT LEAD

A fleet catch

Oversleeping

Being unable to log in for some reason

Misjudging defence on an attack

A few failed mssions

Getting drunk and forgetting you launched

it aint over till the fat lady sings people... a nice lead .. but not necessarilly a winning lead .

I am now accepting bribes to get Newt drunk to a state where he forgets PA for one night. We will be going out for his birthday in a few weeks.

You see now you're just being ignorant. But that's not your fault and fortunately I think I can help. You see, many things in life are cyclical in nature. These things are numerous and various, ranging from fashion through to the seasons of the year. It also includes cool phrases and the fact that you can't finish a round of PA, much less in first position.

So now you know

Surely if that was cyclical there would have to be rounds where he did finish and then rounds where he didn't. If he doesn't finish any round that is a continuum rather than a cycle.

Achilles · 9 Feb 2007, 18:10

Nope. The cycle would Start the Round -> [Insert Excuse Here] -> Quit -> Rinse -> Repeat.

newt · 9 Feb 2007, 18:32

I finished r9 you evil cretins .. regardless of how much Mitre might claim that I didn't

You know Achilles, my GC uses that fake nick. Christ, the number of times I've had pms spring open along the lines of "OMG DO YOU HAVE THE 1UP ACHILLES IN YOUR GALAXY?!?!" beggars belief.

Achilles · 9 Feb 2007, 20:08

So that's the guy who stole my nick? I've had to spend the round wandering around with only half my identity!

Tell your galaxy mate he'll be seeing my ships soon. I'm starting to like the idea of roiding "myself."

qebab · 9 Feb 2007, 20:13

Farming!

You will probably be closed for farming or something against the "rules".

laputa · 9 Feb 2007, 21:25

Wishi playing, Newt performing well, Nofutcha returning and I even heard that StDomingo is back in the game. Maybe it IS time for a Camelot/Casablanca II...somebody call Shiva and Schneckal...

newt · 9 Feb 2007, 21:42

good luck persuading cybdev to give up his day job of binge drinking for planetarion

Yeah, he had a tasty co fleet last round!

newt · 10 Feb 2007, 05:46

I have great news!

eXcessum now controls the top2 planets. The question should be can anyone stop us, not me

I predict we'll have all of the top5 planets by the end of the round.

\o/

Ice|work · 11 Feb 2007, 19:21

Go Newt \o/

(tick 300 and you're still playing? fs)

newt · 11 Feb 2007, 21:22

Where's my congratulations for being the first to pass the 1mill mark?

This forum is full of snide jealous people

gzambo · 12 Feb 2007, 01:02

i love you newt , will u have my babies

Wishmaster · 12 Feb 2007, 05:19

Hehe.

Came home from a 72hrs drinking trip to newcastle and I see newt still playing.

I must say I am amazed

and all clearly realised that newt was being sarcastic about me being a good hc. U have to be active and actually put some effort into to the game to be that.

Thanks though Mighteh - def for u in gal from now on <3

newt · 12 Feb 2007, 20:16

Yo homies!

I'm exiling tonight... so if any of you want the #1 planet and a self-glorified IRC-God in your top10 galaxy, get exiling!

Allfather · 12 Feb 2007, 20:39

Yer, nothing like having a planet with 10 roids ingal.
/me exiles everyone.

Hehe...you know. Guinness and PA do not mix well some times :-)

Wandows · 12 Feb 2007, 22:15

I'd say Guinness doesn't mix with anything, horrible drink

There is a few others you would need to call upon as well. Mr. God Almighty, Divine, would need to enter the fray. Xalibur should be out there somewhere as well.

We are still idling in #Camelot. Cyb might be typing a few lines from time to time...

newt · 12 Feb 2007, 22:17

You should be banned from the forums! Both for that comment and being dutch. But mainly the guinness thing.

Dutch aint a bad thing :-) Gf is dutch and I'm a happy camper...

The Guinness thing was unheard of tho. Get yer act together Wandows!

newt · 12 Feb 2007, 22:36

Yeah you're right actually. The latest book by dick francis features a super gorgeous dutch female in it too. She gets beaten up and shot, but still keeps her sense of humour.

But wandows isn't a girl

So he still sucks.

go die...

if i only could negrep :/

best beer in the world. hands down. no competition comes even close to smooth deep taste of guiness draught. Perfect tap. Great with some peanuts. Mixes excellent with everything, save for milk (and, subsequently, icecream. DO NOT mix Guiness with icecream

)

Don't forget about our gay pronstar Valen and the lovely PiaZava...

Allfather · 13 Feb 2007, 16:27

Pia is a nice girl

Glad she got out before her boy started playing pa

OMG, an American telling us what a decent beer is! Go stand in the corner with your Bud, Corrs and other crap!

qebab · 13 Feb 2007, 19:44

He's russian.

Mighteh · 13 Feb 2007, 19:52

i am both.
and bud, corrs and other crap is that what it is. I dont HAVE to have bad beer tase just coz i live in US.

And there are also REALLY good american beer (Brooklyn Lager, some red beer that i forget the name of, and some other beer that i forget the name of but i bu whenever i am in the bar) its just not as popular and suffocated by corporate marketing of the "Big Beer"

as a matter of fact Sam Adams passes my "not a shit beer" mark and rated close to "decent"
