so is this better than a random round?
does anyone NOT want random next round?
private gals are poos
its not like you dont attack/defend with your mates in a random gal anyway is it...
nevermind random for next round, give us a big shuffle (intergalactic storm?) and lets play random now - still heaps of time left
put it to a vote on the portal and let that decide

Shifting the time space continuum would surely liven up the round :P

i disagree too, it would make pa alot harder, and allies would mean **** then the ones with most skill/luck would win and that sucks!

You know the mantis ledgends? thats where it all started. It was fighting of this black bird, it was only a 10th of the birds size. it was a very valued insect. and thats why the technique needs a brave man and a strong one, who isnt afraid of birds.

hehe, gotta admit.. i would like to play in same gal with my mates.. but in comparison to def amounts.. would be easier to play in random.. but is it worth of paying do to it's only random..
free random.. i would play any day.. 10euro's ain't nothing.. but don't want to waste 4months atleast by being awake every darn night.

I cant get it in my head how people can actually think anything else than this.
Round 8 was awsome, the only real flaw was overburn, which ruined it to many, now that we dont have it a random round would kick ass.
And you know it too Eldan :P

I'd like to see a poll on random or privates.
Seems lots of people have changed their opinions after last round.

Having luck determine who wins would obviously be a lot more unfair than the current setup where the ones with a PA history and superior political skills win.
However, there can be only one winner (or a few) - whereas there are thousands of players, and of late a lot of people seem to think that random is more enjoyable.
Another issue is how to make PA appeal to new players...

how would the winner in a random round be any different to that in a private gal round?

What they should do is charge people that make private galaxies and if you want a free planet you have to go random.
This is what they should have done in round 5. I'm not sure if there's enough people interested in PA now to make it worthwhile though.

PA will never
be what it was when it was free, 4 K planets os TOO SMALL. Creators need to look at introducing AI if they are going to make the game playable, all you need is a couple of Large alliances to join up (WEET....chickens) and it ruins the game for the people who actually hold skill over sheepfarming (WEET, leaders of sheep)
Not I am saying that weet have single handedly stuck another knife into the back of PA with their actions this round thus far (insert sarcasm wherever)
With bashing on the scale I have seen this round, if PA did get any new players this round, they wont be back.
Well done Powerblocks, what are you going to do when you have killed PA??? Thats right...nothing, as you obviously have way too much spare time on your hands as it is
Just in case you didnt get my subtle message....

As rnd 3 was my first round I cant say I remember to much about it and rnd beeing my only "proper" rnd in random univers I still have to say it owned all the private rnd.
Even though I ended up in a sh** gal I really enjoyed rnd 8.
So frankly...
random >>>>> private
