We are now on Wiki

[Evil Skragg]

Here is where I added a lil mention to the forums. If im outta line, delete it - thats why wiki is public domain. Seems a shame however that PA is mentioned without its fair forums, dont you think?

[Nodrog]

That article is so badly written (not your part) that I feel almost compelled to clean it up a bit. To be honest, it probably needs rewritten from scratch because it currently has that bad 'feel' of an article that was pieced together over time, with no real attempt at integration (specific problems are: too much useless detail and not enough generalities, writing which lacks conciseness and waffles on, and random mixing of past and present tenses)


edit: I had a go at cleaning it up (here is the original for reference, and a list of my changes here) but it's still complete shit so someone might want to fix it. The paragraph starting "Players attack planets, a strategic task (each unit has several stats)" is especially in need of a rewrite, but I dont really know anything aobut PA these days so didnt want to touch it. The part on battle groups is also pretty bad, as is the bit about Score/Value. Some sort of proper structure (History/Game Mechanism) would also be a good idea because it's a bit random at present.

Good work Nodrog.

PA itself has a wiki right here, so whilst further info on the main Wiki would be useful, in-depth stuff is mooted by the PAwiki.

P.S nice edit, nodrog

from PAWiki for round 16:

3:9 won the galaxy race having led for large chunks of the round and the eventual winner of the biggest planet was the moderator of Alliance Discussions, JonnyBGood who held on despite the efforts of rain who was gaining fast on him by the closing stages of the round.

My horrible secret exposed

I see there is no mention of the large scale attack on rain that helped JBG hold on. What a shocking lapse in journalistic integrity.

That is what this thread should be discussing. The shocking injustice of this lapse will surely strike a chord with even the most anti-PA of GD'ers.

Or my three day absence for Paddy's Day which enabled him to catch up!

At first I suspected it may have been the work in the infamous Dr Irving but it seems he was in prison for telling stories about how nice the nazis were really. Apparently Auschwitz was just an impressively-sized, industrial bakery with a largely jewish workforce and a poor safety record.

Industrial bakeries are no laughing matter
