Speed Game

I have heard the news about the speed games countless number of times, but i dont really get what they do and why they are there. Could someone explain to me what they are, why we have them, and what do they do??

Thanks

Re: Speed Game

It's basically a normal game of PA, but alot faster (the speedgames being planned now will tick 1 time per minute, 60 times faster than normal pa).
Sometimes the speedgames also have a special twist to them (like the one not allowing defence fleets).

Re: Speed Game

if you dont want to play speedgame, it has no relevance whatsoever to you, so just ignore it.

It has no effect on your current planet, whether you want to play speedgame or not

You can make a new account if you want to join the speedgame. Or you can ignore the speed game sign up. You do not have to participate.

Re: Speed Game

Speedgames are events that are run every so often over a weekend. The games themselves are independent from the main game. Anything you do in a speedgame has no effect on your main game planet.

In this instance there are 2 speedgames on consecutive weekends with different styles of play. The first one is the same style of game as the current round is. ie. it's PA r11 but faster. It also has various breaks scheduled and is played in 4 slots, so that players can have a decent nights sleep, and get food during the day without having to leave their planet.
The second one is for the people commonly known as "a bit insane" which runs for 24 hours solid from tickstart with no breaks, and no sleep period. In this case there has also been a nasty little twist introduced which is that defensive missions will not be possible.

Ticks in speedgames run 60 times faster than in the normal game. ie. one every minute instead of every hour.

If you decide you do want to play the speedgame then apart from signing up at http://speed.planetarion.com you will need to already have an upgraded main game account, or know someone who does, as payment and credit transfer is done through that. A speedgame weekend costs 1 credit.

If you decide you don't want to play either of the speedgames then you just ignore the announcement and carry on playing your main game account as normal. There is no penalty for doing it, and the main game accounts do not get any kind of bonus if their owner chooses to play a speedgame as well.

Hope that's clearer.

"a bit insane" ...

That title fits most people in PA...

The people who do these sort of games are the candidates for the rubber room later in life

Re: Speed Game

pa is about defending and attacking...:S if you can't defend it's kinda silly....

i heard R6B is playing second only really... and my gf wanted me to come over that weekend.. so i doubt i'll cancel that for a speedgame with such silly rules:/ another time... a proper game and i'll win again with R6B the other guys can finish this one

R6B quality lies in attacking, not defence. So, indeed, this is prolly the best kind of speedround for R6B, although I doubt you thought it was I got my i-net back after 3/4 weeks now..

Still dates suck, but will gather some stuff together and see what's it all about. I don't know a thing about R11(Just like I never played R10 before winning the speedrounds with R6B ) This is an extra challange \0/

Cyph... You are playing!

Re: Speed Game

precursors, the transfer credit option only appears if you have a spare credit to transfer over
plus its in the main game, not the speedgame

Re: Speed Game

i'd give it a try, but:
a) fighting the rest of the family over the use of the i-net aint something i cherish the idea of for an entire weekend.
b) i'm getting my car alarm fitted that weekend, and fitting a sound system to the thing afterwards. Thats a day's job. (great fun, ripping all the interior out of my car bar the seats, dragging some wires around, and then putting it all back!)
c) i dont have the money, saving up for a degree i start (hopefully) in about 2 months time.

PS, tsk it took 20 replies to this thread before the question was answered properly... :-P
