News / Soapbox

Wolfpack is dying. New Dawn, Novus ordo Seclorum and F-Crew remain in top10 of today as a reminder of old, established alliances with a long history in Planetarion.

In breaking news: A lie might have been committed on Alliance Discussions. 1up are investigating the matter.

Do you think the Planetarion manual could be better? So do we. Appocomaster has laid the foundation for a true new player's manual. Edits most welcome.

A week and a half into the round 1up is showing signs of total domination. While their members have laughed it off on alliance discussions they have taken a comfortable 25% lead on average to the #2 alliance (LCH). Their lead on the #3 alliance (Wolfpack) is even more impressive standing at 40%. The rest are too far behind to be of any consequence at this point.

The competing alliances playing to take on the #1 spot (however, with EXilition not participating I believe we will have to wait till next round on this one) have been alarmed at 1up's remarkable progress and have formed a block according to Sid. A blurb by Mazzelaar also states LCH's -- while not verified from LCH -- attempt to merge with 1up prior to round start. While not news, this does strongly imply that LCH is in no fighting shape.

No doubt this all has given 1up justification to parry these attacks of a fearsome block, which so far have caused them to end the day with -329 roids. Likely their sympathy card will work on smaller and less experienced alliances not wanting to be part of the war. Considering these alliances amount to half of the t10 this is good news for 1up. Members of top galaxies will likely NAP themselves ouf of any ruckus, which 1up is gladly offering.

The previous summer round was won by 1up convincingly using these very same tactics. As an old saying goes; "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

G-II merges into Hydra. Remains unclear whether this move includes a player whom earlier leaked APA/ND coords to the masses.

PT101. Game stopped. Fleet production bug found. 

Unit Scan on 6:1:7 in tick 101
Sentinel	16011
Arrowhead	119

Kal (1:1:2) Ticks and restart Mon, 25 Jul 01:37
Ticks suspended due to severe fleets page bug
There will be a rollback to a tick before the issues occured (22:30 db backup is likely), and ticks will resume 24 hours after the time of the db backup so that peoples timezone based activity is not affected.
Fleets will NOT be recalled

PT73. Game on! Fleets -- There are curently 139 fleets moving, containing 26,973 ships.

PT37 and the first (?) bug (?) pops up. Exile doesn't work. [ed. fixed a few ticks later]

PT26 ticker down.

(noah02) it might just be very slow tick atm

The initial purge missed the active planets... time to wipe the slate clean, eh? As expected the initial purge was a mishap:

(Kal) the ticker deleter was aciddentally incorreclty configured and fre accoutns that had not been logged in for 24hours before the first tick were deleted
(Kal) it was entirly my fault
(Kal) and i apologise completely
(Kal) the timer is now set correctly [ed. 1 tick lost]
(Kal) but i can;t turn back time

before tick...

(Guran) Hmm, 650 planets disappeared.

A few minutes later Kal updates #support channel topic

#support The ticker has purged inactive free accounts - sorry if we deleted you

(noah02) the winner for round 14 with the closest guess to the number of signups (which at the time was 2074 ) is Dotatrix beleive it or not

R14 to begin in just a couple of hours. The Planetarion IRC channel holds 166 anticipating players and the casual idling oldtimers awaiting tick start @ 20:00GMT.

New mainpage layout. Jester will drop dead when he sees this ;-)

The idea behind the news/soapbox is to gather common thoughts, ideas and general chatter that might not warrant their own thread (PD). This space can be used to log the events of R14 -- whatever they may be -- and might shape up to be a chaotic timeline following the thoughts of Planetarians. The "lighter" side of PAWiki.
