I've noticed a trend of people expanding so much that now they have this huge ungainly empire and no desire to manage it. They complain about how much work it is, and how much time it takes, yet they never stop expanding! You guys are like welfare moms complaining about all the children you have to take care of, but are still getting pregnant every chance you get.

I was fine with the empire I had before I got a job, now I just don't have disposable time to play DG in

To be honest I'm probably going to quit the game.

I'm thinking the same. I just don't have the time any more to fight wars and playing the expansion game isn't overly fun

I finally have the internet back, so I shall be cleaning up loads of built up resources on all my planets, doing some general admin of planets and then jumping back into the fray - most likely with a new war with someone.

Thanks greatly to De-Legro for helping me clear out ik.

I'm working with Createspace to get an actual paperback book of Beyond the Blight published.

Will get my order in as soon as I have a permenant address (read: next week)!

Hey, Corin was only ever loyal to Halicos and Fatmilak. He never had time for loyalty to Madina. So, bring it to him! Though I honestly cant say if he'd accept it. He's rather plump and lazy in all things not regarding trade.

Ahh, that confuses things, Halicos is fairly fond of Corin. Didn't know he was still Lord of Fatmilak. Hmm...

Can someone remind me: is Kenwillard one of the good guys, or the bad guys? He's expanding rapidly around a planet of mine and I'd rather he didn't (I want those planets ). I've got a large-ish fleet up there so I could attack him easily, but could he attack back?

This is true considering Fatmilak and Bol immediately joined Aurvandil upon Tower Fatmilak's take over. Now Madina even less days to live

If Halicos had been there to see that, the Lord of Fatmilak would be facing a good duel to the death right now. Hmm... Return RP sorted!

Spend every resource you can on those planets, and do it NOW. No point letting him steal even more from you. I really really should have brought a main battle fleet to the core earlier then now. From what I can see he is making masses and masses of 1 scout fleets. Building destroyer fleets as powerful as you can should help kill them.

Cheers, did that last night before I went to bed. Built as much as I can on all my planets and sent them towards the main, with a handful sent elsewhere to stop his expansion (he has a few planets I want, so no long-run harm ). I had a few small fleets orbiting and had them head there too. Hopefully everything combined will be enough to take it and hold it until next weekend

EDIT: Lots of single scout fleets are very effective at taking inactive players btw. They have a 4.5% chance at capitulation, so lots of them can increase your chances quite significantly (yes, we have been over the maths before, no, I don't remember if what I just said is correct )

Been a way a while again. From what I'm reading, Madina is now dead? :S

That shall be fun when I finally un-pause Halicos after about 2 RL months (so about a year IG?) of "hunting in Fatmilak forest". Hmm, I'll have to think hard about how to RP this one when I get back. I'm fairly certain his trading tactics have lead him to have few friends in Aurvandil & D'Hara, so either the remains of Madina or Fissoa.

I hate having weekend only internet access... Lost my planet at the centre of the galaxy and not sure how easy it's going to be to get it back, given the amount of resources that were left on it and the amount I have on my other planets there.

Some of you may notice a rather large fleet coming from my home planet area up to the centre, that's essentially a back-up in case I lose my planets. I may lose them now, but I'm hoping I can take them back in a few months' time

How goes everything btw? I've not been able to go through everything I've missed, so I'm a little out-of-date on DG info.

Is this similar to Dungeon Defenders?

BattleMaster Expansions / Re: Beyond the Blight - not selling well ?

« on: January 14, 2012, 04:54:55 PM »

I prefer books as well, that is why I printed the e-book.

I'm actually fairly concerned as to why I failed to realise that things I see on my monitor can be printed and made into lovely paper form...

Perhaps once life settles down, I'll get round to reading this then.

The best writing I've ever seen on BM was during a period from around 2006 to 2007 in the Far East when, for whatever reason, there were a lot of medieval roleplayers around.  [...] I would've spent a few bucks to see that arranged in an ebook.

Agreed. I'd gladly contribute to a book like that, perhaps diary excerpts of my character (Poison ShadowStalker / Veleno Stalker [name change]) from around the time of important FEI events. Whilst I wouldn't put her as an important person, she brought Adgharinism to the mainlands and was part of Lasanar's Council during the period mentioned until Nighthelm fell. Perhaps the players of Conan, Galiard, Gul'Dan, Jenred, Milan, Vulpes and various other people from the time could also do something similar? If not to make it into an ebook, then at least into something to share as part of a "History of the Far East" piece.

I'm not a fan of reading large blocks of text on a screen, really hurts my eyes (inevitable question answer: I take breaks when reading large roleplays). As for e-readers, they do help my eyes but I don't like them - there's just something about them that I don't like, much prefer having a book with me instead of an e-reader. I accept that because of this I'll probably never get to read Tom's stories because of the cost of producing paper versions.

Same reasons why I haven't read LilWolf's book, even though I'd love to

What? So this is how the BM server celebrates the new year. Evil...

Yeah, but you get April Fools and Tom's birthday to make up for it
