Which part of the round do you enjoy most?
Been thinking today about which part of the previous rounds I have enjoyed most and I just wondered what you lot thought..
I used to enjoy the start of a round, just after tickstart & shuffle when everyone was doing their damnest to get as much intel as possible on their cluster using fake nicks etc.. but in the last few rounds, I've been a little bored with the start of the round, just wanting to get into the stages where everyone has substantial fleets and the wars are in full effect (I find that the first week or so tends to drag, waiting for res/cons to finish and not much action)
IMO, the key parts of the round are:
- Pre-tickstart - when everyone is organising galaxies, signing-up and waiting for stats and alliance/block info.
- Tickstart/shuffle - see above
- Mid-round - wars begin in earnest, differences in score and roids now show more in the universe top 100/250 lists
- Final weeks - many people have quit, wars usually considered won by this point.
which parts do you prefer? (edit: and why?)

Like someone said, I enjoy playing the game, all the time.
(but the first 3-4 weeks are a tad more fun than the rest)

It really depends. r1 r2 and r8 it would have had to be the start of the round. In a fully random universe you cant beat the early in galaxy politics. However in a Private Universe its probally the middle of the round when everything is at its peak, here you gave got over the obvious slowness of the beginning and you ahve yet to have a universe thats stagnated leaving a great balance

The start (Because anything seems possible to anyone). And the game is fresh, so you arn't tired and have a decent will to succeed.
Either that or the 'tagging' or point in the game where you realise you're alliance or side has 'won'.

i enjoy the first couple of weeks just after protection. thats when you can still attack just about anyone and everyone in the gal is still excited about playing. irc activity is at its peak and the cluster backstabbing hasnt started up.

The best part of the round to me is the middle of the round where your built and starting to launch attackes and completely roiding the hell out of some1 and then comming near the end
but i hate the end, everything just grounds to a halt and all things go pearshaped.
Does anybody think it might be a good idea to not have a start and or finish to a round? i mean i kno that causes problems with planets being large and everything.
But i find that when your trying to settle old debts it doesn't help when the round ends, and the alliances politics have to finish because of the end of the round and everything.
I know ppl wil probably disagree, but its just an idea i wanna discuss

The early stages before the traditional bashing appears again. 7th time lucky?

The 1st attack and mid part of the round when everyone has enough ships for the strategy part of the game to become interesting.
