Old Interviews and Select Old CRs (A Walk Through History)

spidey_nonsense · Jul 29th 2025

There was some uncertainty about what would and wouldn't survive the current changes to the board when this topic was made. I was mostly tossing every interview I could find here from old Galactic News Network posts and the original run of Spidey News Network posts. That was simple enough, but then I thought "what if all the old combat reports are lost?" and began diving through those too. The archives from 2008 through 2012 are mostly gone so it's hard to know what will or won't survive.

Starting with the 12th post in this thread, there is a heading named "Best of the Deep Archives", though in retrospect it may be better thought of as "A Walk Through History". I went through the old CR threads of universes that got merged into Universe 1 at warp speed (but still felt very slow) to grab random events that I thought helped give a curated idea of what the game used to be like in the period the archive covers (mostly 2006, with a little 2007). These are snippets of the topics, with replies to the main posts cut down to those that got the sentiment of responses across. The archives didn't retain information about which topic belonged to which universe so that context may be completely lost in some cases. Certain threads were crazy and impossible to represent properly in this reduced format but, if they happen to still be around after the board rework, the truncated version will hopefully give you reason to search out the full thread. In some instances finding the full thread is well worth it for how crazy some of these historical events were.

There are actually a lot of good tips and old strategies that would still be valid today hidden among these old posts, though some may be better left in the past. I also found more interviews I hadn't caught my first time through which will be posted toward the end, as well as a few other oddities and a short list of changes to the game/when they occurred hidden somewhere in there too. I had thought about making a topic full of old interviews for the sake of preservation anyway so I guess this serves that purpose as well as being an homage to the OGame of old.

For those who take the plunge and check out some of this historical data, hopefully you have some fun doing that. If nothing else, seeing how much the game has changed can be fascinating. A good portion of these are from before Dark Matter even existed, which truly is like entering a different world!

A few other interviews I'd picked out a while back, including the original SNN interviews, I'm going to see how easy it is/isn't to preserve these by adding the old interviews mentioned so far to this thread. I'm sure I've missed some good ones so feel free to mention them or add them yourself.

vegso interviews Jake (April 9th, 2006)

==Interview with Jake==[Uni 1]

Well first of all I'd like to let out a huge thanks to jake for letting me squeeze in this interview as I know he's a very busy guy.

vegso:How long have you been playing ogame, and who introduced you to it?

Jake:
I started playing uni 1 some months after it had begun. December the 7th 2004 to be exact. I came across a thread on the message board of an auction site I frequent. We had a thread going there for quite a few months and about 40 people that I know of joined from there.

Question:
As far as I know you have been allianceless for the entirety of uni 1, except for kia recently of course, was there reasoning behind so a long lone wolf style of play?

Jake:
Mainly because there was 2 of us from that sight that did the same thing. We went up the ranks together and just didn't need an alliance. At one point a group of us had an informal alliance with our own board etc but it didn't come to much. Also being a lone wolf gives you more targets.

Question:
Are any of the people that you started with, from that site, still playing?

Jake:
Yeah there's a few still playing. Coolguy6 still is and he's been in kia kaha at one point. He's one of the most prolific crashers btw

Question:
Alright, well onto the subject of Kia I suppose. What convinced you to join?

Jake:
When Dancaek was leader of wildfire he tried to get me to join his alliance for about 3 months and in the end I gave in and joined Cursed in uni2. It was a real blast and we all worked well together. Finally Dan convinced me we could shake things up in Uni1 by doing a similar thing. The Mara guys seemed to be getting bored so it seemed a good way to spice things up. Sadly things didn't quite work out that way. The impact was mininmal but it did get Mara to wake up a bit.

Question:
Yes, it's well known that kia was started up to target Mara.Dim. Is there a mutual hate for Mara amongst the ranks of Kia Kaha?

Jake:
No definitely not. It's just that they pose more of a challenge.It's a war game after all so you have to have someone to target

Question:
Now in light of this recent ACS stir up, especially that it will not be added to uni 1 regardless. What is your stance on the subject?

Jake:
lol I guess I missed the stir up. People say that uni1 has been quiet but I disagree. After all I've crashed 5 guys in the last week. In a way I'm glad Uni1 will be left alone but it doesn't really bother me as it would have very little impact on me.

Question:
Peope rumour that jake doesnt use his fleet for crashing, obviously this isn't true, any reasoning for being so mysterious about your crashes? At least from the general, public, ogame community?

Jake:
I like to keep people guessing and I don't have a great need to show off my crashes. The people I trust know what I'm about.I do however find it strange that no one seems to post after I crash then. Initially though, it was because I just didn't know how to do it. Ogame has taught me how to use things like forums and msn and irc. Meeting people from all round the world is the best part about Ogame because it fosters it.

vegso
Im sure the staff will be glad to hear ogame has helped people do other things than ruin peoples hard time :p

Jake:
haha
I've met a huge number of people through the game and still met new ones every day. Many have helped me in ways too numerous to mention. I hope I've helped some in return.

Question:
Some people go crazy fleet with low mines, some crazy mines with low fleet. Where do you stand on this endless balancing of fleet and mines?

Jake:
This game is all about getting resources as quickly and as much as possible. Both mines and fleet contribute to that and to ignore either is
a mistake. Building fleet early can help build mines or building mines early can help build fleet. In the end the bigger fleet is more in control but...acs will radically change things. Many top players get the biggest fleet so they don't have to worry about fleet saving. They may have to rethink things when acs is introduced.

Since I did the lone wolf thing I had to be careful not to draw attention to myself so I worked on mines for the longest time. To get larger mines I needed nanites and eventually I had them on all my planets so I could then build fleet quickly. By the time I decided to build a decent fleet there was little anyone could do to stop me.

Part of the building of big mines meant I also got good res each day without doing much raiding or crashes but since I've always raided it meant I really could build fleet quickly. Only Aral has done it faster. I've stoped at level 33 metal and 29 crystal for now though. If I decide I'm going to play for another 5 years then it might be worth going higher

Question:
Are there any long time ogame goals you've yet to achieve? And of those you have achieved which are you most proud of?

Jake:
From the start my goal was to fill the technology screen. That included Graviton Technology so I planned for that right from the start. I'm pretty sure I was the third person in Ogame.org to get a RIP. Next came a moon and jumpgates and I know I was the first to have the use of two jumpgates let alone 6.

At this point I'd like everyone to know that I got all my moons within the rules of the game. There's been plenty of rumours about that I somehow cheated to get them. I didn't. I've been extremely lucky with getting and giving moons.

One rolue guy that decided to quit sent 2 attacks at me and gave me 2 moons. He told me he did it because he didn't want to give his account to some noob who would just let some Mara guy crash him.Who was I to argue.

Another 2 moons were from other guys quitting but the rest were from traded moonchances or friends simply killing fleet I left on my planet for that purpose.

Sni who took over SP's account was the first to have been ninja'd with the use of jumpgates.

Question:
Ogame is constantly going through changes, even though some are minor. If you could change one thing about ogame, what would it be?

Jake:
For me deut is the biggest hinderance in the game. Lack of it stops people from even attempting crashes. When your fleet get over the 150k mark it gets so it's very risky doing a crash because you may waste millions in deut. I'd somehow like to see the cost reduced. Increasing engine levels doesn't have a great enough effect on that.

Question:
Who is your favourite ogame player of all time, and why?

Jake:
Damn, that's a tough one.

I met Gurney Hallek briefly in Uni1. A kid in Urquan had asked me for help with a guy who was attacking him every day and he couldn't get a fleet built. Eventually the whole thing resolved itself because the kid got himself permanently banned for making a real life threat to Gurney. But hey that's Gurney for ya. He could drive you to do things beyond the norm. When I joined Cursed in uni2 he was already in it....

He was truly awesome. He decided that anyone probing any of our members had to be punished for it and he was the one that got us to al hit Airhead all at once. It was what put Airhead out of Uni2.

Question:
And lastly, any words of wisdom for the ogamers out there?

Jake:
Life is too short to waste it sitting in front of a computer all day so be sure you're enjoying it.

vegso:
Thanks for taking out the time for this interview jake, you really are a nice and humble person, for all you wonderers out there.

Jake:
No problem.

DanCaek (Universe 2) Interview

Name: Dan

Age: 19

Hometown: Isle of Wright

Current Location: Portsmouth, England

Interests: “Drinking money away” with friends, attending gigs and festivals, “being an island boy”, the beach in the summer, playing guitar.

Introduced to OGame by: Close friends.

File Photo

Talon :: We're here with DanCaek the leader of Cursed in Universe 2 who has returned for his second interview with GNN, thanks for joining me today Dan.

DanCaek :: anytime

Talon :: If I may, I'd like to dive right in and discuss some of the recent and current events concerning yourself, Cursed, and the rest of Universe 2.

Talon :: On December 12th, you shocked the OGame community with a Top 10 hit on a fellow Cursed member - The Kings Queen. Most people were and still are quite confused as to your motivation behind the hit. What possessed you to do that?

DanCaek :: Ha, totally knew that would be the first question.

Talon :: Its what the people want to know ;).

DanCaek :: Well I think most people can agree Cursed was formed as a completely unique alliance, which is how we intended it. I always thought of it as a group of lone wolves - no ties to anyone - the alliance came first. I just felt Cursed had lost that "spark", and I wasn’t the only one thinking. Although the others don’t agree with what I did, they agreed it was the only way. On a minor note, Queen and I had a little beef from way back when. That enough wouldn’t be enough to make me do it, but it did help swell my balls for the job.

Talon :: Do you feel that your hit was misunderstood? Perhaps that people took it a bit too personally?

DanCaek :: Not really. It was a total shot in the back, and as far as most people are concerned - it came out of nowhere. If it were me, I would have been exactly the same, like HOW can you not take personally, or at the very least, be totally naffed off?

Talon :: Did you anticipate the rise of a break-off alliance as a possible consequence of your actions? Was there any bitterness on your part for those who left to join Schism?

DanCaek :: To be honest, I had no idea. I never expected King and Queen to stay put, and I knew barsie was very much attached with them and, of course, Fury. One thing for sure, is I didn’t expect a new elitist ally to come out of it, but at the end of the day, the closest friends stuck by each other. There was no real bitterness on our side, but we knew we had to deal with them - that’s game.

Talon :: Of course, that’s the game that we've all signed up to play - which leads me to my next question. A month later, on January 15th, you crashed Sub Zero for the largest hit in .org history with over 1.5 billion units in damages. Was this a difficult crash for you, either tactically or otherwise? As you've already said, you have a great amount of respect for barsie.

DanCaek :: At the time, we knew barsie was all but inactive. To actually catch the fleet wasn’t an issue at all, it was just a matter of whether or not I would do it, and with a push from team mates, it was a yes. I got some under cover probes to locate the fleet, then got a series of recyclers timed for when I planned to hit, and moved in for the job. The hard bit game-wise was finding the time to make the hit, and staying awake for extended periods. Out of game, was the issue that I really like the guy, but after being shown some "unpleasant" logs of him referring to me, I just decided business is business. He was the only major threat to Cursed after all.

DanCaek :: In gaming terms, it was just a sitting duck. It took some planning, but nothing taxing. As for mentally, it’s pretty common knowledge I’m a bit "cold blooded", and as much as I like someone, it doesn’t mean I’ll cut any slack.

Talon :: In the Hall of Fame thread you noted that revenge for comments that Sub was allegedly making against you was the driving force in the decision to make the hit. Is there anything that you’d like to add to that? Was there a personal side to this hit?

DanCaek :: After the Cursed break up, barsie and I spoke. We agreed I made a cheap shot on Queen and stuff, and agreed to keep on good terms, but after seeing some logs of what barsie had said, it seemed he had different ideas in "private". That’s fine, but he should have told me straight up. Nothing personal, but I’m not going to go on good terms with someone who doesn’t return it.

Talon :: Since the split, firestorm has retired his account to Silver Ghost. Evil retired, then returned and took over the #1 spot in Universe 2. What are your thoughts on firestorm’s retirement and were you surprised that Evil overtook firestorm’s old account for the points lead?

DanCaek :: I was sad to see firestorm go. We played together since the first day I began ogame, back in U1, along with SilverGhost, Volrath and SQu1RR3L. It was a bad moment for me, and a bad moment for Cursed. SilverGhost is an awesome player, and an honour to play with. His problem is that he has never had the online time available that the rest of us have, or that his previous ranks suggest, so it comes as no surprise he has a hard time competing with Evil. As SG put it himself, "it’s family, so who cares".

Talon :: Currently, Cursed maintains the 3rd position in the alliance rankings. Has Cursed become what you wanted it to be? How would you describe Cursed as it is today?

DanCaek :: That’s hard to answer. We have lost a lot of faces that are impossible to replace ... Gurney Halleck, Morph, Hudson, Hooch, jake, SQu1RR3L, just to name a few. We miss those guys like mad, but we still have a lot of fun, and that’s everything an alliance needs to be right there. As for how to describe it ... in my opinion we are the tightest knit group in uni 2. As far as I know, no other alliance has so much background behind them, and as sad as it is, I talk to those guys more than my family now I’m away from home. =P

Talon :: Do you consider Cursed to be in an unofficial war with Fury, which has become home to a number of the players who left Cursed for Schism? Do you see an official declaration of war by either side in the future?

DanCaek :: It isn’t a war as such ... there are obvious hostilities, and they send a few attacks at our colonies every so often. After a few crashes, namely Sub Zero again, a return crash on a guy who sent 500 Destroyers at me, and a return crash on The Queen, it seems to have blown out their candle.

Talon :: Many people requested that I ask you to what you attribute your own success and the success of Cursed. What are your thoughts on this?

DanCaek :: It’s all about teamwork, and without the help of each other, many of the crashes that have gone down, wouldn’t have. I think the reason we are all on top is due to eliminating rivals very effectively. I don’t relate the success of Cursed to myself anymore than any other member. We do everything as a pack, and I feel I get more credit than I should simply because I am the "vocal guy". So a big THANK YOU to the boys.

Talon :: Out of all of the people in Universe 2 that you have played against, who do you respect the most?

DanCaek :: That is a tough one. I have to give an honourable mention to Sunfury, for great sportsmanship, and generally being very pleasant and polite, but all-in-all it goes to King for keeping his mouth shut in situations most wouldn’t be able to, and for his balls of steel.

Talon :: How do you think the possible introduction of ACS will effect how people play in Universe 2?

DanCaek :: It is definitely going to provide a new motivation for a lot of players who otherwise feel hopeless, and I think we will see a boom of activity from the players ranked 20-50 trying to bring their fleets up for a dig at the big boys. As for being successful - we will see, but I hope it will be a case of adaptation, not destruction.

Talon :: As a fairly unanimously celebrated fleet crasher, will the ACS introduction bring about a shift in your strategy? What will ACS mean for you?

DanCaek :: Well it will pose a threat I haven’t had in U2 for about a year. It isn’t something I worry about, but I have already made a few changes to my account to custom for it. Of course, I will be fleetsaving religiously, and I hope to someday combine fleets with my buddies to make some sort of monstrosity.

Talon :: That'll be a sight to see.

Talon :: Last but certainly not least, where do you see your OGame career going in the future? What do you see in the future for Cursed?

DanCaek :: Haha, "OGame career" =P I really have no idea what is going to happen. I plan on sticking around for a good while yet, but things may get tricky in my second year of studies. I hope to really build up a strong account in U9, and U2 is kinda in the background for me - I just play to be with my friends there. For Cursed, I guess the same as ever. We will just keep trying to kick some butt.

Talon :: Any final comments that you'd like to make? Shout outs? Flames? Marriage proposals?

DanCaek :: Shout outs go to my allies, set-up partners, and deut suppliers - without you my fleet can’t fly. Flames go to Dehemvig for having a goofy name, Squid for biggin it up in galaxy 12, all the Fury ****s who attack my ****ing colonies, and GPB for always being such an easy flame target.

DanCaek :: I’m not a fan of young marriage, but Dukie and I do have a little thing going on.

Talon :: Haha! Well from the entire GNN staff I sincerely thank you for your time, and we all wish you and Dukie a long and happy life together :P.

DanCaek :: My pleasure.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed the interview. Stay tuned for interviews with many of the other names that have been mentioned here. Until then, good hunting.

<Wraith02> atm I do not know when the applications will be reopened.. Keep watching the news

<ironicus> XD I have, but it's getting boring

<ironicus> Do you have a favourite board/thread? And if so, why?

<Wraith02> I don’t really have a fave tbh.. but as a player I generally check out the Unis I play in HoF / diplo. boards then go looking about to see if I’m needed anywhere

<ironicus> XD and do you have any comments on the insane number of posts Winchester has?

<Wraith02> lol, insane? I had more then that over on EZ boards after 1 year >_> ask cass, she was part of my post spreeing >_> heh but I’ve grown up since then but about the number.. as long as he's happy and doesn’t cause me trouble then its not got anything to do with me

Our Roots: An Investigation into Ogame.Org History. Part 1: Interview with Ex Smod Sardaukar

This is the first part of a planned longterm project: The Ogame.Org History. The following Interview marks the Begin of it. The interviewed Person here is Sardaukar aka Diamond aka Nephilim, the very first Smod Ogame.Org had. Enjoy the read and discuss here.

Cassi (11:29 PM) :
Okay then it is my pleasure to interview one of the very first staff members of Ogame.org, Diamond aka Sardaukar aka Nephilim. Thank you.

Nephilim (11:30 PM) :
Ok, then get it started (pun with my tutorial *g*).

Cassi (11:30 PM) :
Hehe.
Alright, how did you get involved with Ogame.org?

Nephilim (11:31 PM) :
Uh, thats not such a difficult story... I was playing ogame.de for about a year and then they started to translate ogame in other languages.

Cassi (11:32 PM) :
Did you get asked or did you ask for the job?

Nephilim (11:32 PM) :
When I heard that they've started an English one, I visited it, read that I am(as a German) not allowed to play there, and instead registered at the forum.

Cassi (11:33 PM) :
Hehe reminds me of myself.

Nephilim (11:33 PM) :
Hmmm... to be honest - I can't remember any more. ^^

Cassi (11:33 PM) :
Weren't you also Mod at .de?

Nephilim (11:33 PM) :
I think I was asked to join the staff after having written several tutorials
and giving advice to everyone who wanted some.

Cassi (11:35 PM) :
That is a good start indeed. So, how was it for you of you as Staff there? You remember it a bit?

Nephilim (11:35 PM) :
Yes, but only a bit.
Was quite cool, only a few people, everybody knew everybody,
not that enormous crowd of people like it was @ ogame.de, where I was moderator in the fan art section at the same time.

Cassi (11:37 PM) :
Oh yeah and you know - although Ogame.org grew it still differs from .de.

Nephilim (11:37 PM) :
iIt does? ;D

Cassi (11:38 PM) :
Yes - I was BA in .de for a bit as well...;-)
But back to you - what was your position there?
At org, of course.

Nephilim (11:38 PM) :
i have to admit that I haven't visited it for a long time *g*

Cassi (11:39 PM) :
Yes I know^^

Nephilim (11:39 PM) :
i can't remember if I was Smod or normal Mod, but MItried to help the people get familar with the game and tell them about all the tactics which developed at ogame.de over time.

Cassi (11:40 PM) :
Noble aim. I can remember you still from the time when I registered there.
What did you know and did you have much info what will happen next etc?

Nephilim (11:40 PM) :
Shortly after I was mod, I told them that there was somebody else who would do that job very well - you .
And as i see, you were perfect for it .

Cassi (11:41 PM) :
*blush* Yeah i think I read the post... So you are to blame I am here hehe.

Nephilim (11:42 PM) :
I don't know if "blame" is the correct word ;D, to be thanked I think!
I didn't know what they planned for ogame.org, but I thought that it will grow quite fast, like ogame.de did.

Cassi (11:43 PM) :
Well - it was not that fast. What is your most liked memory from org?

Nephilim (11:44 PM) :
Most liked it maybe not correct, but I found it quite curious how other people handle stuff like the nazis (or the iraqi information minister) there. In germany you wouldn't mind to make jokes with that, there it wasn't something special or to worry about.
"Not that fast"?
Are you serious? Ogame.org has now twenty universes! That's quite a lot...
I can still remember when they celebrated their 20st universe at ogame.de.

Cassi (11:45 PM) :
No - it took a while for Uni 2 and there was quite an uproar hehe. Compare with .pl and fr^^
I can remember when they opened uni 17.

Nephilim (11:46 PM) :
I can't remember to that, only to universe 13, my second uni i played.

Cassi (11:47 PM) :
So you have been on Ogame a long time - since 2003?

Nephilim (11:47 PM) :
Yes. But I quit more than a year ago.

Cassi (11:48 PM) :
So you have absolutely no connection anymore to Ogame?

Nephilim (11:48 PM) :
After having made 1.000.000 points at ogame.de in uni3, there was nothing interesting any more.

Cassi (11:48 PM) :

Nephilim (11:48 PM) :
No, i think you are the last connection I have... and we don't chat that often.
And when we do, most times not about ogame
To come back to the fast developing topic.

Cassi (11:49 PM) :
Yeah I know^^
But it is nice to hear of old times, and you are one of the first people I can remember from when I started.

Nephilim (11:49 PM) :
Sure, ogame.fr and ogame.pl did develop faster, but ogame.org was still fast.
I don't know any other comms that develop that fast in a couple of months.
Another one i can remember was Hapimeses.

Cassi (11:51 PM) :
Yeah we were fast but still a bit lazier hehe.
Yes, Hapimeses, Kodiaks son (who is GA now).
And of course Banshee^^

Nephilim (11:51 PM) :
He always had that nice egyptian boy as avatar (Hapimeses) ^^
Another Banshee or that one from ogame.de who founded the "Handelsgilde" (translated: trade guild)?

Cassi (11:52 PM) :
Yes. He is a very talented writer (Hap).
Banshee from .de, he is now Smod again there.

Nephilim (11:53 PM) :
Hehe, I have never had much to do with him, but what he did was great in many ways.

Cassi (11:53 PM) :
He has, as far as I know, User ID no 1 in org.

Nephilim (11:54 PM) :
Of course, he was one of those who placed the first bricks for ogame.org.

Cassi (11:54 PM) :
He will also be one of my victims hehe.
You still know how long you were there?

Nephilim (11:55 PM) :
Not that long, maybe two or three months.
I lost my "passion" for ogame shortly after having joined the ogame.org boards.

Cassi (11:56 PM) :
Well, you left a mark as one of the first staff people there. Your Guides were used a long time.

Nephilim (11:56 PM) :
And as I see, they are still used.

Cassi (11:56 PM) :
Yes, some of them, and some new ones are based on it.

Nephilim (11:58 PM) :
Something what really made me kind of proud was to see how many people read my "gettin' started" guide.
And i visited the boards several times after having quit just to look how many visits the topic had :-D,
most times because some people sent me PMs with requests for further information or how they should handle a specific situation

Cassi (11:59 PM) :
They stick to those they know and like.
Indeed that is impressive.

Nephilim (11:59 PM) :
Thanks
Less then a month ago someone from ogame.org sent me an email that somebody was selling my guide on Ebay.

Cassi (12:00 AM) :
Wow - quite a way.

Nephilim (12:00 AM) :
First I thought was kind of "w00t?!"

Cassi (12:00 AM) :
Yes indeed it is still stickied in the Guides Forum

Nephilim (12:00 AM) :
That guy putted big amounts of it into a .pdf [Adobe Acrobat file], added some stuff from other guys and selled it as some kind of "pro-guide".
I later wrote to him why he was selling my guide on Ebay and why he needs money that much.
He only answered that he wanted to help people!
Quite curious, isn't it?

Cassi (12:02 AM) :
Yeah you both have the same aim though^^ Wonder whom he wanted to help more lol.

Nephilim (12:02 AM) :
Damn right

Cassi (12:02 AM) :
But here is the thingy:
Gettin' started
Thread ID 58

Nephilim (12:02 AM) :
Yes... one of the first 100 threads of ogame.org

Cassi (12:03 AM) :
The very first does not even exist anymore
But it's a very early one and good work.

Nephilim (12:03 AM) :
65 ratings with an average rating of 9,75... my English couldn't have been sooo bad ^^ .

Cassi (12:03 AM) :
Well - your English is rather good^^

Cassi (12:04 AM) :
I think that is why they took you on board

Nephilim (12:04 AM) :
Please tell that to my english teacher He drives me quite mad at the moment

Cassi (12:04 AM) :
Hehe mine told me that I could not speak english at all.

Nephilim (12:05 AM) :
lol, ~of course~ you can't! ;D

Cassi (12:06 AM) :
Indeed hehe.
What made you lose interest in Ogame?

Nephilim (12:06 AM) :
I don't know how good or bad your pronounciation is, but how you type English is alright.

Cassi (12:06 AM) :
That ask Wraith02 or some User who had me on Skype already.

Nephilim (12:06 AM) :
I think it was the fact that things repeat all the time:
gathering resources (by raiding, trading or simply waiting), saving them until you have enough to buy something special that helps you gather more ressources in a shorter period of time, then collecting resources again...

Cassi (12:08 AM) :
Would you have maybe stayed only for the forums?

Nephilim (12:08 AM) :
After you've done that for over a year, it isn't interesting any more.

Cassi (12:09 AM) :
You are quite talented as a Fan Artler, did you peek into the .org one maybe a bit?

Nephilim (12:09 AM) :
Obviously I didn't... it's because I had decided to quit OGame and [I] have more time for my friends and staying at the forums would have led to starting OGame again I think.
Only in the very beginning, when there was not that much except for a few translated skins to see.

Cassi (12:10 AM) :
Maybe not, many people stopped playing and are only Mods.
You are always invited of course^^

Nephilim (12:10 AM) :
By the way: that reminds me that I never translated my skins as I promised in the guide... damn i'm such a lazy boy :>
I think about that
But then i will stay to the off topic area I think

Cassi (12:11 AM) :
Not lazy but you spent time in RL.
I would be grateful:-)

Nephilim (12:11 AM) :
Yes, that's true

Cassi (12:12 AM) :
By the way, you remember that you made for a friend of mine a banner for a forum once?

Nephilim (12:13 AM) :
Not at all, I made an awful lot of banners for forums, clans, alliances, etc at that time and I mean a really AWFUL lot.

Cassi (12:13 AM) :
Hehe, well, what you made for my friend still is up.

Nephilim (12:13 AM) :
On some days i've spent hours on making them... directly from the banner request thread at the ogame.de boards.
It is? you have a link for me? Maybe that helps me to remember.

Cassi (12:14 AM) :
Of course, a second
http://www.jedibites.com/images/hosted/forum/forumbanner.jpg

Nephilim (12:15 AM) :
Omg, yes, I remember to it ^^

Cassi (12:15 AM) :
It is still up in the forum
You are quite good at such.

Nephilim (12:16 AM) :
Thanks ;-)
It helped me a lot in other things today.

Cassi (12:16 AM) :
I only speak the truth. What did you do?

Nephilim (12:17 AM) :
Like layouting our School magazine (from pupils for pupils), doing the covers for them and even - believe it or not - painting my tabletop miniatures *g*.

Cassi (12:17 AM) :
Hehe. Hey, what table tops?

Nephilim (12:18 AM) :
A new hobby I started after ogame.de.
It's a kind of strategy game with little tin miniatures, which you assemble and paint.

Cassi (12:18 AM) :
My boyfriend played as well and Hapimeses is someone who works, as far as I know, for one.

Nephilim (12:18 AM) :
There are a lot of table top games, I play Warhammer 40.000.

Cassi (12:23 AM) :
Well, if you cannot remember more about .org and the past - what do you plan for the future?

Nephilim (12:25 AM) :
My plans for the future? Getting my a-levels, raising a big tabletop armies (now i play one race, and one system, but I already want to play at least 10 armies from at least 3 or 4 different systems!), having fun, creating a really good school magazine (we won the 3rd prize at a contest of a big newspaper around here "Stuttgarter Nachrichten").

Cassi (12:26 AM) :
Good luck with all of this:-)

Nephilim (12:26 AM) :
I will need it :-D
Is it time for that "thanks for the interview"-sentence?.

Cassi (12:26 AM) :
Yeah^^ Anything else you wanna say?^^

Nephilim (12:27 AM) :
Nothing that you could post in the boards ;-)

Cassi (12:27 AM) :
Oooh kinky^^

Nephilim (12:27 AM) :
But to be serious: have fun, don't waste all your freetime on OGame, there are some other things to be "raided" in the real life too ;-)

Cassi (12:27 AM) :
Then thanks a lot for this and all the best^^

Dancake fanboying over Cass in the discussion thread for the above interview

Quote

Hehe, a face I didn`t see in a long time ... I think you won`t know me, but I really looked upto you with the guide. :)

When I started, I remember the forums were like a maze, and I didn`t care for them at all. A friend(at that time about 15 rl friends were playing) gave me the link for his getting started thread and there was another one with a summary of all buildings and ships. Without those threads I don`t think I would have kept playing ogame more than a week, so really big THX.

Some months later, I was generally considered one of the veteran players. I still remember what the forums looked like on first visits, and they are only getting worse! I didn`t want to read the forums. I didn`t even care about them, and knowing how useful those threads were gave inspiration to do my own which has now 48k views on the original thread and 13.8k in the one stickied as a help topic, so I think a lot of the thanks I got for that should go to you too.

Your work definately had a big "echo effect", and is still easy to see today. :D

Great interview Cass!

Godfather8769 interviews Volrath (both U1 vets) about Universe 2 (July 16th, 2006)

Quote

Volrath[Cursed] ~ Uni 2 Interviewy = Don Corleone

James = Volrath

Jeremy~

Hello James, I'd first like to thank you for your time. Could you first start off and tell us a little something about yourself?

James~

no problem, anytime. well it all started back in the year of 1987......nah just kidding we dont need a life story here.....im 18, love playing video games, mostly shooters, until i started playing Ogame, got addicted when my brothers forced me into playing, and now i just play it because its still fun after all this time

Jeremy~

Yes, OCrack is one very potent drug, and once you become addicted it's very hard to stop. So just how addicted are you? I know of some people who play 5 + universes at a time, and others who play only 1 or maybe 2 univeres tops.

James~

i would say im very addicted, although not as addicted as i used to be for time reasons, but after all this time i find the game to still be amusing. as for the other question, i play multiple universes, 1, 2, 5, and 6 to be exact

Jeremy~

Heh, you are a true OGamer if I've ever seen one. You mentioned your brothers forced you into playing, are your brothers currently playing as well? And if yes, would you say there is a fierce competition between you?

James~

well, the brother that got silverghost and I to play (Morbius900) doesnt play anymore, but silverghost is still around. I really wouldnt say we compete ever though, hes too high ranked for me right now, of course im working on eventually getting up to his points

Jeremy~

Would you say Universe 2 is your favorite universe? Why or why not?

James~

tough to say between that and Universe 1, I guess I would have to say Universe 1 is my favorite though, so many people i met from there, so I would pretty much have to choose that one, although Uni 2 has its major upsides that i will always enjoy

Jeremy~

What is your response when people say, "Universe 2 is a dead universe"?

James~

well, it cant be dead.....until Cursed crashes everyone else and they quit......then people can say it is "dead"

Jeremy~

Heh, good point. I think most of the complainers are the ones being crashed by Cursed. Any crashes of yours that you hold special?

James~

none really, except maybe my most recent engagement with Maxxwellthegreat. he seems to be a really good player, saved on me for some time, but his comments to me made me want to crash him that much more.....so i did. I guess its special to me since it is the first person to ever message me like that. sure, i would get the witty comments about how i wouldnt crash them all the time. but I cant say ive ever gotten a "i will get you back for this" type of message

Jeremy~

Being in Cursed, I would assume you have your fair share of enemies. Anyone in particular that just rubs you the wrong way? And if so, why?

James~

no one really in particular that gets to me really, im the old fashioned probe and smash kind of guy now, but of course there might be some that find me an interesting target

Jeremy~

Fair enough. So James you've been around a long time, any favorite OGame memories from the past?

James~

there are many good Ogame memories for me, being in ReVamped in Uni 1 way back when, the none mentioned elitest alliance that did its fair share of nice smashes , also would have to say, the very start of Uni 2 was very interesting, long before I was Cursed, I had started originally to join Cursed with dan, and my bro and the rest but.....member cut-offs at 8, so I joined 1WAY with Kinky and the gang

Jeremy~

Interesting, so an intended original Cursed player, didn't get to join because of the cut off. Must have been a dissapointment at first, though being with Kinky does have its perks too.

James~

a bit disappointed, but I can understand why they would have a cut off, and yeah, being in an alliance with Kinky had its perks, and most of the other strong players of course were 1WAY at that stage in the game

Jeremy~

ReVamped were the good old days, I was fortunate enough to be apart of that as well. So to send everyone off, you get to make your own alliance of 8 guys not including yourself, who is there with you and why?

James~

#1 I would have to say dan, he has made his way to the top in so many Universes of Ogame, a truely great player
#2 I would have to say Destruction, he has the most Hall of Fames ive seen anyone make, and I would rather have him on my side rather than to be crashed by him XD
#3 of course I would have to have you, you taught me quite a lot about the game, and was always there when I needed ya
#4 I would say Deadeye if he were still around, he dominated early Universe 1, he caught onto the fleet designs way before any of us did
#5 would be Candlemass, he has 6.2 million points or more now......need I say more?
#6 Jake, he used to be a loner that built all the way up the ranks to #1 in Uni 1, thats a great accomplishment, especially with huge fleet players like Aral and Swirl around
#7 I would choose Vengeance, we always have seen eye to eye, and i believe hes one of the great Ogamers that are less talked about, but he still needs to be recognized
#8 I would have to say Winchester, as I told him a few days ago, he has to be in an alliance with me, otherwise it would stay dull and boring, I would say Fatty from Uni 6, but we all know why I would pick him XD

sorry of course to the others i know, but I cant have all of you or else we would be a mass alliance, and we all hate those

Jeremy~

Heh, very impressive team untill about #8, but hell, who doesn't love Winchy? As for Fatty, well I won't even get started on him/her. Cheers for the compliments man, though I'd say we both helped each other out equally back then and even to this day. Is there anything else you would like to add before we end?

James~

hmmm nothing much else, if you have anymore questions to ask me, I would be glad to answer them anytime. also, of course, who doesnt love Winchy

Jeremy~

Nope, I do believe we are done. I'd like to thank you once again for your time. And of course, the best of luck.

James~

you too man, and the pleasure was all mine

Ragnarök says:
question #1
Ragnarök says:
how did you come to find OCrack
Wavanova says:
two of my friends at school played it and were talking about it all the time, so I decided to join it so I knew what they were actually talking about >_>
Ragnarök says:
and did you pwn them later
Ragnarök says:
>_>
Wavanova says:
indeed
Wavanova says:
>_>
Wavanova says:
one of them still actively plays in universe 1
Wavanova says:
he pretty much just death star whores though
Ragnarök says:
and that's a problem? >_>
Wavanova says:
not rly
Wavanova says:
i actually tell him to keep building death stars
Wavanova says::
cause I like looking at how many he has when he comes over here >_>
Ragnarök says:
then he can go nail spito >_>
Wavanova says:
zactly
Wavanova says:
>_>
Ragnarök says:
like Candle Jr >_>
Wavanova says:
quite >_>
Ragnarök says:
k
Ragnarök says:
moving on
Ragnarök says:
you've said you attained your uni 1 account from... somoene and built it from 100k to roughly 1million
Ragnarök says:
altough none of us really know who that 'someone' was
Ragnarök says:
care to elaborate >_>
Wavanova says:
zerocreation
Wavanova says:
you probably wont have heard of him, since you're too noob >_>
Ragnarök says:
<_<
Wavanova says:
but lots of the veteran players know who he is
Ragnarök says:
I am shedding an emo tear.
Ragnarök says:
oic
Ragnarök says:
was he increidbly 1337 or just moderately 1337
Wavanova says:
i think he was like 80th or something
Wavanova says:
then the account got crashed
Wavanova says:
and he gave it to me >_>
Ragnarök says:
well, you did a good job with it
Wavanova says:
so i literally built the fleet up
Wavanova says:
from literally nothing
Ragnarök says:
ah
Ragnarök says:
well, we all saw the CR earlier
Ragnarök says:
I believe he was crashed by a Mara.DIM member, but I can't remember who
Wavanova says:
doa
Wavanova says:
Lord42 was also after the fleet
Wavanova says:
but im happy doa got to it before lord42 did
Wavanova says:
cause me and doa are kinda friends
Wavanova says:
so i'd rather he got something from it than lord42
Ragnarök says:
ah
Ragnarök says:
who was it that you gave your account to?
Wavanova says:
some people may know him as magneto in universe 4
Ragnarök says:
seems like it'd be someone you know closely, seeing as you put alot of work into it
Wavanova says:
he's also a member of the GNN
Ragnarök says:
ah
Ragnarök says:
now, you're the founder of No Limit in uni 1
Ragnarök says:
what was it like running your own alliance among the titans of uni 1
Wavanova says:
it was fun. we used to be pretty good and have one of the best averages for score and fleet in uni1, but we kinda started slowly crumbling, and when I left uni1 for uni4, the alliance completely disintegrated.
Ragnarök says:
it was also in unis 9, 10 (?) and briefly in uni 3, I believe
Wavanova says:
wasn't in 9
Wavanova says:
it was in 4 and 6 though
Ragnarök says:
dude, I founded it in uni 9
Ragnarök says:
then I gave you my account
Ragnarök says:
<_<
Wavanova says:
o rly
Wavanova says:
i do know recall these happenings
Wavanova says:
LOLOLOL!!111!!1
Ragnarök says:
well, either way, it's probably deleted now <_<
Wavanova says:
lolz
Wavanova says:
k, back to the interview
Wavanova says:
>_>
Ragnarök says:
k
Ragnarök says:
now, you've been a mod since I joined the boards
Wavanova says:
longer lolz >_>
Ragnarök says:
what exactly convinced you to send an application
Wavanova says:
nobody, i just wanted to on my own
Ragnarök says:
are you happy with that choice?
Ragnarök says:
seems like you mod more boards than any other mods
Wavanova says:
yeah...though lately i've felt a bit of a disconnect from the mod team
Ragnarök says:
have you ever considered quitting?
Wavanova says:
it's not the same as it used to be, there's so many new faces, and I guess I just liked it smaller
Wavanova says:
Yeah, quite a few times. I did quit once last summer, but I came back. It's hard to quit though lolz.
Ragnarök says:
you're telling me, I have more quit threads than anyone besides BBM >_>
Wavanova says:
dont forget GF
Wavanova says:
>_>
Ragnarök says:
yeah, him <_<
Ragnarök says:
well, apart from modding suggestions, it appears you have many suggestions of your own, the most prominent of which being your "Drydock"
Wavanova says:
indeed p_o
Ragnarök says:
care to explain that in laimen's terms, since alot of us are somewhat confused about the entire concept
Wavanova says:
its pretty easy to understand, people just seem not to read though and think the thing lets you store your whole fleet in it
Wavanova says:
If you want it in laimen's terms, here's the summed up points of it directly from the Drydock Part 2 Topic...
Wavanova says:
The drydock will not replace fleetsaving as each level only holds 5.000.000 structural integrity. (Less than 85 battleships.)
The Drydock was created by a veteran suggestions moderator, was moved to most wanted ages ago, and has not been closed yet. Therefore it is NOT a dead end idea.
Once you factor in the time reductions from robotics and nanite factories, this takes MUCH less than 35 days to
Wavanova says:
The Drydock does not store resources or solar satellites.

Drydocked ships appear in espionage reports in italics in the "Shipyard" section of an espionage report after all the ships in the normal shipyard.

The Drydock would not be very hard to implement as far as programming goes.

Ragnarök says:
So... basically, it's just for small parts of your fleet.
Wavanova says:
basically, yes
Ragnarök says:
I'd love to see it in the game, just for the Hell of it
Ragnarök says:
well, moving onto the more interesting part of your career
Ragnarök says:
you inherited a very high infrastructure account in uni 3, and from my understanding, it was almost 1million, if not more points, with just mines
Ragnarök says:
then proceeded to declare war on many random alliances in a fashion similar to RAWK in uni 1 or RancoR at the begining of universe five.
Ragnarök says:
what exactly convinced you to do that
Ragnarök says:
we're all assuming sheer boredom
Wavanova says:
pretty much >_>
Ragnarök says:
regrets? >_>
Wavanova says:
not really
Wavanova says:
i was never really too attached to that account anyways
Wavanova says:
it was prolly for the best it got crashed
Wavanova says:
got me to start focusing on uni1 more again
Ragnarök says:
I remember racing you for ranks in uni 1
Ragnarök says:
good 'ol times
Wavanova says:
quite so
Ragnarök says:
well, I'd have to say the most interesting part of your career had to be taking soulburner's account in uni 4
Ragnarök says:
none of us really saw it coming, to be honest
Ragnarök says:
so, a few questions on that before I let you go
Ragnarök says:
it appears that you were met with alot of hostility from other established alliances in uni 4, especially after your operation OGP began
Ragnarök says:
did you expect to be met with this kind of reaction when you took soul's account, or was it a surprise to you
Wavanova says:
i expected it lol. i had played universe 4 with a top 20 fleet 2 times in the past, so being greeted badly on my 3rd uni4 account wasn't a big shocker
Ragnarök says:
and then your first attack was a ninja, and while most people just jumped on the 'wava LOL' bandwagon, it appears that the ninja was actually caused by server lag
Ragnarök says:
care to elaborate on that?
Wavanova says:
not much to elaborate on...i had a slight suspicion he was online, but I had just been given the account the day before and a lot was being expected of me, so I was really driven to get that crash. I probed at 11 seconds from the attack and saw he had gated some stuff there. I went back to fleet to recall, but I got a "last request could not be processed" message.
Wavanova says:
It's clearly not a lack of skill, as anyone who's been playing for 3 days can recall a fleet within 11 seconds. But some people seem to believe I'm not capable of clicking a button within 11 seconds, so whatever, they can think that if they want.
Ragnarök says:
like we said "you got the account for a reason, Soulburner wasn't stupid about where his hard work went to" >_>
Wavanova says:
indeed
Ragnarök says:
what did you do with soulburner's account after the ninja, and then what happens to it now that you've quit
Wavanova says:
After the ninja, I recovered pretty fast and did quite a few crashes, the biggest of which being the one against belialNZ. Now that I've quit, I gave the account to Heat, a RoLUE player from uni1...but he hasn't done much with it so far except get ninjaed just like I did >_> Difference is he hasn't really done anything with the account yet other than get ninjaed...
Wavanova says:
...so I hope to see more from him soon.
Ragnarök says:
wtf, you gave the account to Heat
Ragnarök says:

Wavanova says:

Cassandra discusses life as a board admin (November 30th, 2006)

Quote

The daily life of a Board Admin - A not so serious stroll through my soul

Ever been interested what a Board Administrator really does? Wanna look behind the curtain? Well - listen to a sad, little and tragic story...

Once upon a time, there was a little student. She somehow stumbled over a strange, strange game and got addicted - but as usual, she had to overdo it...

She managed to get, through a series of cirumstances, a position as a Board Administrator. No, she did not have a clue what she had to do; She had access, and had to find her way through the jungle called Admin Control Panel. And suddenly, she had a team to look after..

The day usually begins with a big cup of coffee. This is essential. Otherwise I won't be a happy bunny - um BA. I decide then - do I wanna start the computer and have a quick look or not?

Between first cup of coffee and a shower the computer seems to look at me, telling me to get it started. I usually resist - well - mostly. If I really have the time, I give in and have a quick look. Knowing it will never be a quick one.

16 new PMs await me, with some easy stuff (name change), some talkative stuff (bibob for example) and some more heavy stuff (evil, evil Mods/Smods). I am also quite evil - as it'll seem to you. I then just read through. A quick glance at the watch makes me say some really nasty curse words then, it's time to go and catch the bus. After a quick shower.

I rarely ever go on IRC in the mornings - I just know I get stuck there. Only if a server has crashed and no-one's there do I do it... and luckily, in the mornings the servers mostly do behave.

During my long drive to university I think over a few PMs. Or I simply sleep - depends on the situation. I do refuse though to dream of the PMs; Some might give me nightmares.

At university I am making sure to attend the courses - and yeah indeed - I do it^^ For the time being during the course I do not think about the forums - sorry I know - I am a bad Admin

Though, when I'm there and I have free time, I check the forums from my notebook - and I usually find something to do then. Answering those PMs from the morning if I didn't do, for example.

Sounds boring? Oh no. If I learned one thing from being an Admin here, then it is the certainty of uncertainty.There is always something different to do. May it be Mods fallen from the face of the earth, may it be a crashed forum server (okay...that IS rather certain....), a game server dying, a prOgame popping up... something is always up. That keeps one alive. That and the coffee.

And some slight insanity. It is normally later in the afternoon when I do some university stuff in the library, and then come home in the evening. Did you know that computers really can look at you and tell you to activate them? I can refuse for a bit, but then I wanna see if anything happened during my absence. It must be those puppy eyed controls.

Usually there IS something. Ranging between a smile and a catastrophy. Question in the evening is, do the forums run? If they do, I have surely something to do. Scanning though the forums, hunting evil people (I am so glad that the evilness at .org is rather low - seen much worse...), seeing everyone is as happy as possible...

Then at that point my stomach reminds me that I am NOT a computer, and maybe should see to get something to eat. I am just typing "BRB" on IRC when suddenly it seems everyone wants something from me at once. It is really interesting how they find out that I just wanted to leave the computer. Some kind of magic I suppose.

Half an hour later all the people have been made happy and I get some food - thanks to my big brother. Now comes the time to look here and there, to chat if possible, to do something for myself maybe. Unless something happens - means something I as BA have to look for. Could be some complaints, a user needing urgent help, a dead server, or a spam orgy on the forums...

I usually do not get to chat very often in the evenings. The amount of coffee has reached its maximum and I better drink something else. I usually don't, because on .org, it is a 24/7 thing to be a staff member. Or better, it could be. And I cannot go to bed when something is wrong - so I stay up late rather often. I usually regret it the next morning but there is always my coffee to help.

On weekends, it always depends on what I am planning as to when I'm online - but you can bet that I look as often as possible. There is always someone who needs a name changed, or a signature that needs to get removed. It is also always fun to look through my emails - you see "70 new emails" and sigh. Just to find out that 65 are spamemails and 5 emails are something to look for. That's really the benefit of being a Board Admin rather than a Game Admin - we get less emails. Most stuff has to be dealt with over the boards directly. I also would rather get 1 PM more, instead of maybe overlooking one email amongst the spamemails.

There is of course even more to do - reading though some information for admins, lots of internal stuff...

It never gets boring. And that's one of the reasons I am still here - I like the Users, I like the Team, and I like what I can do for you. Although, after more than two years I should really send the bills from the psychiatrist to the people from the GameForge...

CyberZero interviews Chryssie (July 23rd, 2007)

Interview With Chryssie

My interview with Chryssie. Our returning Smod. Before we start here is a little about her.

I joined the team April 24th, 2005 as a GO for uni 4. I loved that uni - I had a lot of fun with it. A couple months later I begged and begged and badgered Cass and bibob to let me be the spamboard Mod - because it needed one, and I was there all the time. Eventually I dropped the GO job to concentrate fully on the spamboard.
I very nearly wasnt given the SMod position because no one thought I wanted it. I wouldnt give up my spamboard for a long time after making SMod. Eventually I turned it over to daydream and Mute.
I am fuzzy on the dates, but I eventually tried GOing again sometime in 2006, but for the life of me I cannot remember which universe it was in. It did not last long.

[CyberZero] Shall we start the interview?

<Chryssie> Sure, why not.

[CyberZero] Is there anything you want to tell us first before I start asking my questions?

<Chryssie> hmm, I wont give away staff secrets

[CyberZero] Lol

<Chryssie> other than that, ask away

[CyberZero] Fair enough.

[CyberZero] You are a returning smod. Correct?

<Chryssie> yes I am

[CyberZero] What made you decide to return to the staff?

<Chryssie> hmm, well I popped into #ogame.org to visit and was hit with a few PMs asking me if I was coming back. I started to consider it, and Trieze finally talked me into it.

[CyberZero] How long where you away from the game?

<Chryssie> umm... away from the game? >_> I still have my uni 2 account.

[CyberZero] Staff I mean.

<Chryssie> off staff for hmm... Nov. til July... 8 or 9 months.

[CyberZero] I am guessing a lot changed in that time.

<Chryssie> Quite a bit has changed.

[CyberZero] Anything big worth mentioning? Like major changes in staff. Or major changes in the feeling of being part of the staff?

<Chryssie> Major staff changes? I was surprised and pleased to see the changes in BA's and SMods. People who were just mods when I left have moved up rapidly.

[CyberZero] Care to share who your mods are?

<Chryssie> I have a couple from my old team. HRZ and Makari - both good Mods. I have Ath and Unforgiv3n, Naughty Angel (*YaY* I got the only girl Mod), Chaos Josh, CyberZero (omg thats YOU), and Venom and Pandora. (you may notice quite a few spammers in there - I tend to collect them)

[CyberZero] Youve gathered up all the new guys. Did you know any of them before returning to be a smod?

<Chryssie> all but Chaos Josh and you I knew from the spamboard - I know what they are capable of and I am quite pleased to have snared them for my team.

[CyberZero] As I saw before you play in uni 2. So a smod and a player. Is there anything you feel is a accomplishment on that account?

<Chryssie> with my uni 2 account? well it once belonged to a very good friend of mine. But I always played in uni 2 - and at one point in time my alliance Wingz was ranked in the top 5. It unfortunately disbanded after I left the staff position.

[CyberZero] Is there a reason why you left the staff postion? Or is it somthing you do not want to talk about?

<Chryssie> I dont mind - its rather common knowledge among old friends. My life was a mess, I was trying to deal with my husband walking out on me and our daughter, going through financial upheaval for the same reason, and unable to find a job. I have gone back to school - I am studying to become a professional counsellor now from home. My ex husband and I have started to become friends, and I have a new man in my life. so things are pretty stable

[CyberZero] Its nice to see you are not one of the people who worship the game and allow thier outside life to fall apart.

[CyberZero] Since we are back on the subject of staff. Any funny stories you want to share?

<Chryssie> LOL - I always put my family first. The only times I was crashed in the game were because I was paying more attention to my family than the game.

[CyberZero] Lol

<Chryssie> funny stories about staff? hmm. Not one in particular but it was always fun when Cass and bibob and Wraith used to play on the spamboard - we used to have a LOT of fun back then.

[CyberZero] Bibob still frequents the spam board. How about funny ingame stories?

<Chryssie> The only story that comes to mind was back when Uni 2 was still young - I think we were only up to Uni 5 at that point. there was a guy named MeMarf who had a small alliance - and he declared war on the top 10 alliances in uni 2.

[CyberZero] Sounds like a slaughter.

<Chryssie> it was the only time that dancakes alliance ever collaborated with other alliances to pound the crap out of someone

<Chryssie> after the first 12 hours of the "war" all but 3 of MeMarfs alliance had quit and set their accounts for deletion.

[CyberZero] Have you ever played in one of the ACS universes?

<Chryssie> I played in Uni 5 when it first opened for a while - I didnt keep it up.

<Chryssie> I could never get the hang of ACS

[CyberZero] Ever thought of joining one of the newer ones? Maybe 30 for double speed? Or maybe 33 when it comes out

<Chryssie> I am so glad I didnt have to GO an ACS uni

<Chryssie> no - I will stick with my uni 2 account. I wont join another uni.

[CyberZero] Yes ACS does seem to bring out some issues.

[CyberZero] Is there anything you want to talk about? Like things you miss from the game. Or people from the staff?

<Chryssie> I miss some of the people - too many to name - that are no longer playing. People from the staff I miss most are Trav and Weyoun, they left before I did.

[CyberZero] Is there anything you want to say about the recent changes in the game? Addition of the battle cruiser. Or maybe The increased lag?

<Chryssie> I havent actually played in a couple months - my account is in vacation mode until I can get the time to actually play like I used to. I dont know about all the game changes yet, I am still trying to familiarize myself with the changes on the forums.

[CyberZero] Ahhh. Well Im going to open a touchy subject

[CyberZero] Officers

[CyberZero] What do you think?

<Chryssie> As with all of the "pay advantages", it will not make all that much difference if you still do not play well.

[CyberZero] What about the people who have formed alliances to hunt down these officer using people?

<Chryssie> hmm, let me put it this way. One of the best players I ever saw in Ogame was Dancake. pit him against anyone playing with a pay advantage and he would still come out on top. so good luck to the 'hunter' alliances.

<Chryssie> It will be interesting to see who comes out on top.

[CyberZero] Lol. Is there any tips you want to share? Stuff that helped you and still works?

<Chryssie> persistance. dont give up just because your fleet was crashed. learn from your mistakes and move on. Watch the top ranked players and see how they do it.

<Chryssie> and for heavens sake have fun with it.

[CyberZero] Before we wrap this up. Anything you want to say?

<Chryssie> I still want to know where the Ogame Addiction hotline and clinic are. I cant seem to get it my of my system.

[CyberZero] Ill get right on that. Lol

<Chryssie> lol

[CyberZero] Well. Thank you for doing this interview.

<Chryssie> quite welcome.

noldello interviews ZhugeLiang (it's U17 but why not?) (October 6th, 2007)

ZhugeLiang - The player with most battles at the HOF Boards of Universe 17

ZhugeLiang - The player with most battles at the HOF Boards of Universe 17

(Discussions thread <-> click here)

<---------#--------->

Even if Universe 17 is his first universe for ZhugeLiang, he made over 170 HOFs.

Hunting from g1 to g9 and from g9 to g1, he managed to have a wonderful evolution, evolution that made him arrive in top 5 at points within 1 year.

Lets find out who is the player behind so many battles from the HOF section, how did he get so far, what can he teach us

<---------#--------->

noldello: Hello and thanks for accepting this interview. What can you tell us about when, how and where did you start playing OGame?

ZhugeLiang: One year ago, one of my friends introduced ogame to me while we were having lunch, it sounds very interesting to me and so when I get back home I visited the ogame.org page and simply signed up an account, at that time, the random uni number was 17, so here I am. It was August 2006 and I was at least 6 months late to that uni.

noldello: How were your first days of OGame?
ZhugeLiang: First day of ogame was about finding answers to my questions about this game, I searched a number of web sites, learning what to build and follow the guide lines written from various other players, these are namely n00b guides to ogame

noldello: What influenced you mostly in order to become a hunter?
ZhugeLiang: Earlier of the my game,
I was farming inactives only, I don't know what is HOF etc. but after I gone out of n00b protection, I got a conflict with a small alliance, I was without an alliance and the guy after me was 400 rank above me but I managed to destroy his fleets for 20% which I not even know it was a HOF until my friend pointed it out to me, I remembered that I didn't even think about profits, DF harvesting, etc. I just want to destroy the enemies, from there I knew that I don't like to gain rank by farming inactives, I am suppose to be a fleet crasher and someone little more evil than farming inactives.

noldello: You managed to make many great hits; were you searching your targets alone or how did you manage to find so many fleets?
ZhugeLiang: I searched for the targets myself when I was without an alliance, the key thing is to probe and observe, that was what I mostly doing when I was hunting at that time. I was inspired by sleepcat top 12 rank without an alliance at that time and he was the only high rank player that I knew at that time, so I set a target for myself to reach top 100 without alliance. Along the way to reach top 100, I started to meet a few in game friends, then we eventually formed a new alliance together and from there, I got more targets as my alliance mates are helping me to observe and giving me targets as well and helping me to recycle, that was where I started to enjoy more about ogame.

noldello: What could you tell us about the top 10 hits, especially your new number ones?
ZhugeLiang: All my top 10 hits required a lot of planning works about the recyling and timing to attack, and of course some ogame hunting skills. They are mostly the result of team work in Legend or with my friends, for example, the hit on Esentepe ((TD: 593.117.000) ZhugeLiang [LEGEND] -vs- Esentepe/Ritmo de noches [HolyTurk])required few weeks work to observe the target offline times and some of my alliance mates were checking the target offline time while I was off, all recylers from Legend members also sent in advanced before the attack. As for myself, I even purposely doing a moon trial for that hit. On another top 10 hit, the war hit on themightyjew ((TD: 707.211.000) ZhugeLiang [LEGEND] -vs- themightyjew [I.A.]), my friend, mcevil helped me to get the phalanx info and building more recylers to help me out, on my side, I was moving from galaxy to galaxy before I reached the destination and purposely performed a moon trial so that I can jump back my fleets later without moving across 3 galaxies. As for the skills bit, I want to take this opportunities to mention the master that open the door for me to learn advanced ogame skills, his nick is painkiller, he is a well known player in uni5 which I met when I sign up there to see what is ACS; before I meet him I didn't knew what is blind phalanx and how to watch the DF.

Regarding my first new number one hit ((TD: 484.710.000) ZhugeLiang (United D) -vs- sovo (.TSH)), it was done with blind phalanx, it was planned with Mr Negative for easy hit at target offline time, but the target fleet saved from moon few hours before my attacking time, however, after observing a fail colonization on that system, I realised that the target was fleetsaving from moon to an empty slot using colonization mission, I then calculated the returning time and successfully hit his whole fleets.

As for my latest new number one hit ((TD: 1.328.194.000) ZhugeLiang [LEGEND] -vs- angela [ANTIOFF]), it was a hit that planned within 24 hrs, in a way, I was rushing for it because the target will be taken if I didn't act fast enough and I was after a big hit like that for my semi-retirement, so I chose to take some loses of DF for glory at the end. The details of this hit were posted on the HOF if you are interested to know more about it. The key factor for this hit was rather fleet composition, the amount of resources my target spent and I spent on fleets was probably about 15% or 20% different, but it was still profitable hit for me.

These top 10 hits in short were as a result of team works and planning.

noldello: Besides top 10 hits, were there any other special ones?.. Hits that you enjoyed, and waited to happen
ZhugeLiang: They are a few, the TD weren't big but it was satisfying, for example, my ninja to destroy over 1600 BS from a rank 6 player when I was top 100 only. Also another hit on a well known player via 2 times blind phalanx, one via watching DF which target escaped and run to another moon, then second trials that hit when target fleetsave to inactive from moon which I managed to guess the right speed target used even the phalanx info came late. Finally, I also enjoyed alot of the 1st blind phalanx hit via watching DF in uni27, I was being bashed by a top 10 players for nothing while I played there as miner only, but I managed to blind phalanx him by watching DF and have my friend, nick name baby helping to kill that top fleets.

noldello: You mentioned (+ 10 RIP-killed: ZhugeLiang [LEGEND] -vs- IntegratorANTIOFF [RUSSIA] (TD 499.441.000)) about willing to slow it down and become less aggressive. did you get bored of hunting, or why did you wrote that?
ZhugeLiang: I have achieved what I wanted to achieve in this game and so I decided to stop hunting actively and then eventually quit, there is a begining of something and then there will be an end eventually.

noldello: In any case, welcome back and congrats for your new top ten hit (ZhugeLiang [LEGEND] -vs- bwhite [MOB] (TD 631.245.000)). What are your plans now? Or, should we wait for other surprises?
ZhugeLiang: That new top 10 hit was actually as a result of my previous observation that was done before I decided to semi-retiring. As you can see, I have no HOFs for the past 5 weeks before landing this new top 10, when i was active, I always spam the HOF board with hits so I am really slowing down now and might eventually disappearing at some point when I decided to totally quit, for now, I still feel like to crash when I got a free day.

noldello: How important was the teamwork in these hits and what can you say about your team?
ZhugeLiang: As said in the top 10 hits section, all my top hits were as a result of team work from Legend and friends.

noldello: What could you say about good players from our universe, players that don't belong in your team, players who influenced you in a certain way?
ZhugeLiang: - sleepcat (retired), being rank 12 when I started to talk to him, he was my first inspiration in ogame. He was also being honest to me for returning DF to me when he realized that he harvested my DF when I made my 1st HOF, it wasn't necessary for him to do so but being so honest and high rank, I have a lot respects for him.

- Offline aka Recyle everything (retired), he was top 20 players in our uni for ages, he was a player that will help friends for nothing, when i was needing a lot resources, he offered some free resources to me, and he even gave me free deuteriums
when he was playing, when someone doing this and asking nothing in return, you know that they are not selfish and they have state of the art altitude just to help friends out, so he has always been respected. His generosity has inspired me to setup a free resources delivery for newbie in uni17.

- videlord (retired), he had always been number one in our uni, however, he is a humble and honest person to me and have a very good strategies to get resources using RIPs, he inspired me when I first seen his RIP HOF. Later on, he also helped me to recycle and returning all DF to me without even asking me to repay his deuteriums.

noldello: Is there anything that you wish to recommend for other players?
ZhugeLiang: I think a player can learn all the skills by reading the tips from web sites etc. the only thing that may be missing in the tips is playing this game with honor, I recommend to others to play this game with honor even it is a war game, with that I meant, don't betray your in game friends etc.

noldello: Thanks for your time and wish you a nice day forwards

Thunder God Ben interviews Amraam (November 20th, 2007)

Interview with Amraam, fo' SHO

First. let me state how incredibly late this report is. It's quite old, and a combination of laziness and undermotivation allowed it to go unposted for such a long time. Shame on me

Now, without further ado...

Amraam, admiral for the revered alliance SHO, is one of the most respected players to ever grace Universe 2. He has been with Universe 2 since nearly the beginning, and has become an integral part of its history. Hovering just below the Top 10, he is a force to be reckoned with, and his influence on the universe is yet untold. He is by far one of the most agreeable player to speak with, and I'd like to thank him for his time.

Interview: SHO Admiral Amraam

TGB : Well, let's start with the basics: How long have you been playing OGame?

Amraam : Since about the first 6 months of uni 2.

TGB : Wow, so you're a real dinosaur then...

Amraam : LOL

TGB : Anyway, how long have you been in SHO?

Amraam : About one Month after I started playing ogame.

TGB : What's it like being part of the ruling caste in one of U2's most prominent alliances?

Amraam : It is fun to help other players. With the recent lost of interest in the older universes though we really don't have any new players to help and I've started to get very bored with the game. I tend to love to chat in the alliance forum with the other players more than work on tactics for hunting targets.

TGB : It's no mystery that SHO was once considered a "mass alliance"; how do you feel about SHO's recent "thinning out" of its weaker members?

Amraam : Well, The weaker players were dropped becasue of game play and being unwilling to chance their style more than anything else. I hated to see them go as I loved the chats in the forum. They were good players who just had their tactics figured out (at least some of them) and were taking hits all the time during the war so we let them go as much for their benifit as for the alliance.

Amraam : One of the founding principles of sho was to help weaker players learn to improve their game and help with rebuild aid if needed but if someone refuses to change their playing style then we can't do anything to help them.

TGB : I see, so SHO used to be a training alliance of sorts, then?

Amraam : Well, you needed to be able to show that you had an understanding of the basics. I didn't get into SHO when I first started. I had to prove I could gain points on my own fairly quickly doing attacks on my own. The training really didn't start until we opened up a training wing.

TGB : What was your take on the recent mass war declaration on the part of SHO and MaD versus the rest of the universe?

Amraam : I liked the idea. I was hoping to generate more interest in playing the game. I didn't have much luck getting my own interest sparked and it seems that happened to a lot of players. There were some things that happened I wish had not happened during the war and we had some players who wanted the war and then didn't hold up to their end and some had things come up like me that prevented spending the time required to so.

TGB: I see. And now that you've experienced a mass war, what are your thoughts on the recent conflicts in U2, centering mainly around Exiles and TPR?

Amraam : I really personally don't pay much attention to what is going on anymore. I do my own thing when I hunt and really don't pay attention to what the other alliances are doing.

TGB : What would you consider your "high point" of your OGame career?

Amraam : Tough question...

Amraam : Helping someone to understand the finer points of using a DF to get an ideas of how to crash someone or how to avoid being someone's food is what I like best. I love a good challenge when I find someone to hunt and see if I can catch them. There isn't anyone in particular that stands out to me though.

TGB : Any low points?

Amraam : The loss of players that the universe is currently experiencing is a low point. The recent chances have made ogame less fun to play and it isn't looking any better anytime soon.

TGB : Any advice for incoming players (if, that is, we get any in the near future)?

Amraam : Yes, I started a uni one account to see how hard it would be to build up a decent score. If you build up your defenses and techs to get larger defenses to defend larger sums of rez for larger goals it can be done just have to be patient and work slowly and spend your rez if you get attacked. Don't give up you can get the job done given time no matter what the goal is you shooting for.

TGB : Anyway, when you first started, did you ever dream that you would reach the top 100, let alone the top 25?

Amraam : No, I never gave it much thought.

Amraam : I have found that a large account can be less fun to play than a small account your trying to build up.

TGB : Ah, well, I've run out of questions, so I guess we'll have to wrap things up. Any final thoughts?

Amraam : I can't think of anything to add. I really have had a lot on my mind lately and ogame was not one of them. I hope to get back up to speed soon and have some fun and give some fun to the other players.

TGB : Well, thank you for your time. It's been a pleasure

sgtslappy

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PART 1 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I am here today with the world renowned moderator of ogame -- sgtslappy. Thanks for letting me interview you good sir.

Cool, and thanks for letting me be apart of your luxurious GNN career.

Anything for a fellow test tube creation. So, let's start from the beginning. What brought you to ogame? How did you find out about it?

Way back in 2005 a bunch of friends were playing ogame and introduced me to it. They of course don't play anymore, and are off doing more productive things in their lives.

So at first you were just a regular player. How was the playing experience?

It was slow. Like really slow. At one time, I actually had 8 different accounts because the game was going so slow for me. After playing for a few months though, I dropped those accounts and stuck to Uni 1 and 11.

Who was that extremely sexy guy from Universe 3 that gave you an account there? Also, what was your most favorite universe to play in and why?

Well that extremely sexy guy from Universe 3 has to be you, of course. I was playing that account for about a year or so.. Don’t really remember. And Universe 3 has to be definitely the best Universe I played in. Maybe it's because I talked to more people from there from any other Universe. All the different personalities, all the ing from everyone, made playing exciting. They seemed more like a community than the other Universes.. I mean, how many Universes do you see have their own "Unofficial" IRC channel?

What made you apply to be a moderator and how long ago was it?

Well I originally registered on the boards in February of last year. For some reason, I had the aspiration to become a Mod. I always wanted to be one. After getting to know some of the Mods and BAs, and bugging them about it for forever and a day, they finally opened up Mod applications... I somehow got accepted. I honestly have no idea how I did, I wasn't exactly the person I am today. Although some would say I am, but I disagree.

When and why were you selected to be an smod?

Hm.. I think February of this year. I guess I was selected because of my Activity while I was a Moderator, and how I handle people on IRC, the Boards, and other things.

Everyone by now knows you on IRC. What nicknames do people have for you because I know of at least 3 or 4 and where did those names generate from?

I SO KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO ASK THAT ..Uh, I've got quite a few.. I think. Ultima and eclectic call me slappers, for some reason. Then I've got Graf Zahl aka Candlemass call me Limecat because of a picture I posted of myself.

Somehow it stuck. Then some people call me by my real name, which is Josh. Those are usually people who I've talked to or happen to know in real life. Then there are some people who call me "sgt." Only god knows why they call me that. Then most people call me slappy. I'm guessing that's because it's easier to type that out then sgtslappy. I guess it's also a sign of friendship. Or something.

From all the chicks on IRC, which one is the most attractive in your opinion?

That's definitely got to be eclectic.

Eclectic? Interesting.......You versus makari in a caged match...who would win? (I'm sorry Makari, this was before I found out)

That'd be me of course. I think I've got more wit and cunning than the ever so clevor Makari.

What is it that keeps you from staying here and not quitting like everyone else?

Considering I've quit at least twice, only for a few days of course, and then being fired for three weeks... it's got to definitely be all the people I've met while on the Team or all the people I've come to call friends in the Community. I like helping people, in ogame and outside of OGame. I'm not really sure what drives me, but if I had a guess it'd probably be those two.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PART 2 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Due to recent events, you (and myself) are no longer on the team. Do you plan on staying here on IRC? Do you plan on giving Ogame a try again as a player?

Eh.. Yeah, I'll stay on IRC and stuff. Most of my time is either spent on PC, work, or hanging with my girlfriend, so yeah, I'll definitely stick around. No, I won't be returning to the game. I never stayed for the game, I stayed to help with the community, and for my friends that I've met. I was never good ingame, and only played for fun, for the most part at least.

What will you miss the most about being in the team?

What will I miss most? Eh, probably knowing what’s happening behind the scenes and pitching stuff to the BAs/GAs for new idea that I've come up with at random times. I'll miss the team channel as well, had so much fun and laughs in it.

What is your most exciting ingame moment?

Had to be when I IPM'd Willard in Universe 3 a few months back. Totally destroyed his defense he had going.

>>>>> sgtslappy[Sparta] vs willard[GTS] <<<<<

Not the biggest assault ever, but it was the most statisfying thing I've done, other than getting my mines to 31/28/28 on my old account.

What is something new you would like to see over here at ogame? (Be it irc related, game related, or board related)

Probably in-game, for the most part. I know I don't play anymore, but the bugs that are happening with the game are unacceptable. They've got "Test" Universes for a reason, I don't see why they need to rush everything. It's kind of like the Game Industry sometimes. With Harddrives coming on consoles, they can release games that have bugs in them and then patch.. But it's honestly really annoying and shouldn't happen like this in the slightest bit.

If there was one person you would like to see come back, who would it be?

The one person I'd like to see come back would Addar. Great guy to talk to, was really great in Universe 5 when he was there. He taught me a few things. He was an overall great guy. I don't get to talk to him as much anymore though. Kind of sucks, but when I do talk to him it's always a fun conversation about how we're both doing.

You've been here for quite some time. What do you consider as your favorite moment in ogame's history?

My favorite moment had to be when I was accepted as a Moderator summer of last year. I was really excited because it gave me the opportunity to help out more people. I gave out the occasional tip on IRC and stuff, and posted on the boards, but this gave me even more of a chance and to reach out to people and help them out, albeit AIM, IRC, MSN or anywhere in between.

So I heard you got into a relationship recently. How is that coming along? Who is she? Where did you meet her?

I met Maria through a friend.. we went to the mall one day. We and saw Saw IV. We parted ways, then I hung out with her a few days later.. then I asked her to by my girlfriend. She said yes obviously. Today, the 11th, we've been together for three weeks. She's really great.

Alright sgtslappy, I can't think of anything else to ask you since I know everything else about you....Any last words?

Last words.. I honestly don't know if I have any. *thinks* If you see something going on, and you don't agree with it, voice your opinion. Don't sit and take it, but voice your opinion and hope for change.

* RaZmAn cries

Thank you sgtslappy.

Yeah, it's no problem. Anytime.

Frozen_Flame interviews Wavanova (February 22nd, 2008)

LordMajor interviews Wavanova

GameNews says:

Thanks for letting me interview you Wavanova. First off, why did you chose Wavanova as your name?

Wavanova says:

I used it as a name on a few sites I was a member of before OGame, and I just carried it over to OGame when I joined. It's just a word I made up that sounds sort of cool, but it originates from a small Javascript based RPG I used to run called Legacium, and Wavanova was an attack in it.

GameNews says:

Ah i see. How long did you play OGame for?

Wavanova says:

I made my first account in late October of 2004. Halloween to be exact, I remember playing OGame for the first time on Halloween and being aggravated by kids knocking at the door every 5 seconds and having to leave my precious level 3 metal mines for them. I didn't join the forums until a few months later in January.

GameNews says:

Ah, what unis have you played over the years?

Wavanova says:

I've played pretty much every one of the early unis and have had several accounts in some. The ones I have the best memories of playing were 1, 3, 4, 6, and 8. I've played every uni from 1-10 I believe though, and a few other random ones in the double digits.

GameNews says:

Can you tell us about your favourite few or main one?

Wavanova says:

My main one was probably uni1, I played that for the longest by far. I went through 3 accounts in my time in uni1, but I only played one of those for the majority of my time there. I got it when it was around 50k points (top 1400 I think) and literally 0 fleet and played it until I got it to 1 million points (top 200) and a top 70 fleet.

GameNews says:

Nice. What allainces have you been in?

Wavanova says:

In uni1 I was pretty much always just in alliances that I made. I really just went through leading tons of alliances, reforming them, renaming them, trying different alliance types and leadership strategies. It was always really the same alliance, just trying different things. It started off as an alliance called AoA with a few loyal members and then it just transformed several times. It became a mass alliance called Xera for a few weeks, then that crumbled (because mass alliances suck and just don't work). After several more reformations, it eventually wound up becoming a small alliance called No Limit which lasted for about a year and a half. It had a small number of people with high points who were loyal to the alliance and didn't do any diplomacy, and that seemed to work. So from that point on, whenever I decided to make alliances in other universes I would just follow the No Limit model and have very small alliances with only strong people I was close to. It made us harder to hunt and easier to win at wars, which we declared a lot of.

GameNews says:

What has been your highest rank and in what uni?

Wavanova says:

Rank 1 on Soulburner's account in uni4. He gave it to me and I played it for a few months, but I wound up going on a month long family vacation to Europe. When I got back, it had dropped to rank 2 and the month away had kind of freed me of my OGame addiction that I had had for far too long, so I gave the account away. A common misconception is that I just didn't know how to handle the account properly or that I just sucked, which caused it to drop to rank 2. I've heard that quite a few times, so I figured I'd just take this oppurtunity to clarify that I was gone to Europe for all of July 2006. Check the archives if you don't believe me.

GameNews says:

Thanks for clearing that up. What do think about some of the new updates like officers etc?

Wavanova says:

I'm not a big fan of any of the new updates. Officers, dark matter, or expeditions. Expeditions essentially turn OGame into a gambling game, and everyone knows that Officers are really just a way for GF to make more money. I also think that OGame opens new universes far too fast, which is exactly why almost every uni is facing a massive player shortage. I think the player shortage could be helped significantly if GF just stopped opening so many unis, and also made some of the new universes into something like "classic universes", where all of these new updates don't exist so that people who liked the old OGame are happy too.

GameNews says:

So true. Could you tell me about some of your best HoFs?

Wavanova says:

I've never really had any incredibly good hits, I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't a great crasher or anything. Where all my points came from though was countless raids and little crashes, making every little bit count and going for dozens of small raids that nobody else would go for. Things like that were the main source of my resource income, so I really didn't need to hunt too often. I guess it also would help that points or rank were never really a limiting factor for who I would raid, especially in uni1. I would probe and raid top players quite often, even when I was much lower ranked than them. I fleetsaved very well in uni1 and had some strong friends, so I never had too much to worry about. I could get resources from top players that others were afraid to touch. I did however get one good crash that was a top 10 for about an hour (until someone else in uni4 got one slightly larger than mine), I had several good phalanx crashes and hunts, and a few good probe and crashes also. I always just found it so much easier to do small raids that all the other people with big fleets ignored than to spend a lot of time hunting a big target.

GameNews says:

A bit like me. Any tips for players?

Wavanova says:

My number one tip for newer players is don't get Graviton or focus on getting a big fleet until you have 1 million points, especially in earlier universes. There's so much more you could be investing your resources into (infrastructure is crucial), and if you're inexperienced with the game still, investing all of your resources in fleet makes you much more likely to lose it all. A tip I would have for fleet players would be never to ignore small targets. Any raid that can get you at least 100k resources is something you should attack if it's just sitting in the open. Any small crash that can easily get you 300k resources is good to attack to. Just fill your fleetslots with raids over and over and every day. I would generally raid about 50-70 times a day, and with targets at 100k resources each that would be 5 million resources a day at 50 raids (and that's not even counting the fact that most of those small raids are probably going to be much more than 5 million resources). So 5 million x 7 days a week = 35000 extra points a week from little raids that aren't even hard.

GameNews says:

So moving on, when did you join the mod team?

Wavanova says:

I'm not completely sure when, but I believe that it was some time between mid-March and late April of 2005.

GameNews says:

What was your favourite forum to mod?

Wavanova says:

Probably suggestions, since I knew the community at the suggestions forum and was active on the forum myself. I also made some contributions to it and was really the only one looking after it for quite a while, so it kind of felt like my forum.

GameNews says:

When did you leave and why?

Wavanova says:

I originally left at the end of summer in 2006, at the same time I left everything else (including all of my OGame universes). I left that time because I was just tired of OGame. I came back to the team briefly in early 2007, but left in only a week or two because of some things related to officers within the team. I felt like I didn't know the team anymore and didn't belong in it anymore.

GameNews says:

I think that I remember that day actually. What was your proudest moment ingame or on the boards, or both?

Wavanova says:

My proudest moment was probably the time I did a gigantic nuclear assault in uni1. It was over the span of a few days on several of this one guy's planets, and it was significant to OGame because it was the first large scale nuclear assault that any player had done on their own, and the second biggest one out of all of them at the time. I've actually seen a discussion on the forums before where a few people credited Candlemass (obviously) and myself as the ones who popularized nuclear assaults. Whether I deserve that kind of praise, I'm not completely sure. I do know however that my assault was big at the time, and it's where Candle's quote in my signature comes from.

GameNews says:

You and candle are both ogame legends. For those who don't know, Wava is refering to Graf Zahl, ogame.org's best player. Who was your favourite staff member at the time you were mod?

Wavanova says:

I didn't really have any favorites, I just had friends on the staff team. If I had to pick one who I was closest to though, I'd probably say Winchester.

GameNews says:

Ah I see. I've heard that you started many things that are now used all the time on the OGame boards. Care to shed some light on these?

Wavanova says:

I'm generally pretty modest about my achievements, so I don't tell many people. It's also pretty unlikely that a lot of people are going to believe me even if I do tell you right now, but I figure that I might as well get it out on the table since my interview is basically a chance to be a bit cocky right?

GameNews says:

Yup

Wavanova says:

Well then, a lot of the things that people see and use day to day on the forums were originally ideas I had while I was a moderator. The most prominent of these is the total losses prefixing/suffixing that is currently used in the Hall of Fame. I modded all of the Hall of Fame forums for a very long time and brought many changes to it while I did. I originally got this idea from a few hits I saw on the German forums where people would post their total losses on really big crashes to show off. The top 10 section had been newly introduced in .org, and I was becoming very annoyed of having to look through every CR and get out my calculator whenever someone claimed to have a new top 10 hit. So I made a rule on every universe's Hall of Fame that any new top 10 had to be prefixed with the total losses of the hit or else it wouldn't be moved to the top 10 forum. People started doing this with their top 10s, and it eventually moved to everyone doing it for just almost every hit they did. Now it's used in every OGame language on every Hall of Fame and CR section and has kind of become a thing that's just seen as necessary when posting any combat report, especially a Hall of Fame.

GameNews says:

Man, that's pretty impressive. Anything else that you have founded or helped contribute to?

Wavanova says:

Well, continuing on the subject of the Hall of Fame, most of the prefixes that are currently used in the Hall of Fame were thought up by me. Most significantly, the entire concept of an "Advanced 20%" was something that I created after becoming annoyed with seeing a bunch of borderline top 10 hits getting no attention and constantly thrown in with the basic 20% hits. The current system in the suggestions forum was solely my idea that I brought up to bibob when I had become sick of having to wade through piles of horrible suggestions every morning and close them all. My idea was to have all suggestions pre-approved and moved to a rejected ideas section if they were not fit for the suggestions forums. Also, there are things that I believe were my idea or I contributed to in some large way, but am not completely sure: Most wanted suggestions forum, headhunts, and account trading. Again though, I'm not completely sure how much of a role I had in all of things, so I won't take credit for them.

GameNews says:

Okay, well that's about it. Any plans for the future?

Wavanova says:

I don't really have any plans for the future in OGame other than to just lurk the forums a bit whenever I'm bored, so come to Entertainment or Spam if you ever want to see me. That's where I always am now.

GameNews says:

Will do. Thanks so much for this interview Wava.

Wavanova says:

Any time =)

RomperStomper interviews SoulBurner (Universe 4) (March 26th, 2008)

Quote

Soulburner, U4 Number One Hit, and Top 3 Ogame.org-wide

As some people may have heard, Universe 4 received a New Number One hit, recently. This occurred when soulburner [ENVY] attacked Doombringer [HRG] for a new #3 ogame.org-wide. His hit consisted of 429 RIPs being killed, and a total damage of above 5.9 billion!

>>> Soulburner -vs- Doombringer <<<

Well, today I got to interview soulburner about the hit, and here's what he said, for you people to read!

Quote Romper says: Hello there soulburner! Nice day for a GNN interview don't you think?

soulburner says: Hi, thanks for giving me another opportunity to beeing interviewed

Romper says: My pleasure with that hit you did, I'd feel bad to let that go unrecognized. How about we learn about you first, I think we know a lot from your previous GNN encounters, but maybe you can refresh us. What is your name and where are you from?

soulburner says: I'm David, i'm from Poland. I work as mobile game developer and study computer science.
And of course enjoy playing various games

Romper says: lol, of course.
Well how about a little chatter about that hit. It was really a spectical to see it. 5.900.000.000 Total damage, 429 RIPs Killed! When I saw that DF I could hardly believe it, it was nearly half of my points!

soulburner says: I was suprised a bit too, not that i didn't believe doombringer till the last second, it was rather : will it go through or not, because of recent lags (i was 1 sec after his 222 rips). we both wondered if i hit his entire fleet or only remainings that he left there without phalanxed rips

Romper says: So, if I'm correct, you timed him back because he was attacking a turtle in your area with his RIPs?

soulburner says: and to describe a little background of it, i phalanxed his 222 rips, several hours before crash doombringer messaged me, that he'll leave rest of his ships
Yeah, that's it, i probed a little in g8 and found one turtle gone inactive, checked on my phalanx and then noticed doombringers rips, around 6h before they got there.

Romper says: Very nice, and to anyone who will now accuse soulburner of pushing, you're wrong, as rules state he can take all the DF to cover his losses and there was less DF than his losses people!
So, would you qualify this hit as your favourite crash?

soulburner says: well, td is really impressive, for sure it was one of my better crashed (and i was forced to send my fleet with rips), but my best, imho, was against trinity.
one of my better crashes^^

Romper says: that was quite the crash also. How did you do that one? DF timing or probe and smash?

soulburner says: against trinity ? moon-df catch.
I was watching him for awhile, new his online times pretty good
tried to get him when he's online, but he never fleetsaved long enough to get there, i was able to hit him when he fleetsaved for a night

Romper says: ahhh, well those were two amazing hits really.

Also, you were the first person in Universe 4 to get 10M points

Did you ever think you'd stay long enough to do that?

soulburner says: ...and i'll do it again soon

Romper says: yes indeed, you'll be not only the first person to break 10M, you'll be the second also! lol

soulburner says: hmm, that's a good question. i'd never assume that i'll play it so long. when i started, i thougth, that i'll play few months, then quit

Romper says: so you only ever planned on staying a few months?

soulburner says: yes, when i started. But i failed

Romper says: haha, how long have you been playing now? Did you play Universe 4 since the start of the universe?

soulburner says: yes, maybe with small delay (few days or a week)
recently, mostly at work, if i don't have much to do
i've been busy recently, trying to deal with work and studies at time
tho, there were moments, that i was close to hit v-mode button and give it a break

Romper says: ya, I know what you mean.

I always like to ask this question so I'll ask you, except, not sure how you'll answer, ENVY is a pretty good alliance. But, if you could have any player in Ogame.org in an alliance with you, who would you want? Maybe name, 4-8 players to be allymates with you?

soulburner says: dancake^^
i miss those old times in orion pirates^^
i think we both would make enough mess with one universe
the rest will be hard to name, since i don't know much players outside u4... mostly i know them from ogame board >_>
dancake is one that i know from other universes, i learned from and i respect much

Romper says: Cool. He seems like a cool guy,

well soul, thanks for your time, hopefully I will interview you again

soulburner says: hehe, we'll see
thanks again
ohh, and almost forgot, happy easter everyone

Uni 18 Krazy Interview with Barsie (Jesus)

Please Discuss any aspects of the interview here

Let me tell you a little bit about Barsie, he holds the number one ranked account in uni 18 and the number two ranked fleet. He plays an account which he started 1 month after uni 18 opened and an account he has built from scratch. He is a a 100% nice guy who has even had ogame marriage proposals.

I hope you will enjoy reading this as much as i enjoyed writing this

***The start of Barsie (AKA Sub Zeros Ogame Life)***

Krazy Hazey: So tell me when you started playing Ogame, and which Uni did you start in?

Barsie: Well we are going back to Feb 2005
Uni 2, my first ever universe
I got into Ogame through some friends in a forum
We used to hang out in a forum called OTF which is to do with the original
Championship Manager range

Krazy Hazey: Is that soccer, cause I'm a soccer noob

Barsie: Yes. anyone not from England is

Krazy Hazey: he he

Barsie:: I got brought into Ocrack through a bit of a legend in the background of Ogame's workings, Love him or Hate him Cavalier

Krazy Hazey: You started in Uni 2 how did you find the start of Ogame?

Barsie: Well at the time I was at university and had a lot of time, like a serious amount, so a massively addictive game was ideal, a lot to learn but I had some great mentors to help

Krazy Hazey: Do you still play in Uni 2, and what is your rank there?

Barsie: Yes I have my account there- from when I got crashed, it's a miner account now 35th, but I only mine so I'm happy with that

Krazy Hazey: Enough of Uni 2 lets talk about the best Uni there is Uni 18, how did you come to play here?

Barsie: Well after I stopped playing Uni 2 seriously I messed around in a few Uni's testing different strategies (I was at one point #1 using the probe raid technique- I forget which Uni). But when Uni 18 was opening and it was ACS- I really wanted to go for it. I decided as it was first 'new' ACS Uni it would be pretty legendary Uni to play in, not one of the forgotten Uni's

Krazy Hazey: Very true, so did you join with some Ogame friends?

Barsie: No I just started solo, and then alliances started to form- as soon as the top 100 became a bit more solid you noticed all the old names, quality players from older Uni's

***The Rise of the Number One Alliance - Jesus***

Krazy Hazey: Did you join an alliance before Jesus?

Barsie: We were actually a merger of 2 alliances- Ah exo and code I think it was. W joined up and began to have the real fun, and despite what people may look at and think JESUS and a lot of our members were not at the top for a very long time, I was pretty low ranked for a long time

Krazy Hazey: Well we all have to start somewhere, tell me about the early Jesus days, what made the alliance work?

Barsie: It's always been the humor, we sent a lot of circs having fun, and we used IRC - like everyone did so the communication was awesome, but because of the fun we had - it was great bonding to use in ACS

Krazy Hazey: How many of the original Jesus member still play

Barsie: 5 of us very original members, then we have a lot who have been around for 1 year +

Krazy Hazey: yeah that explains the great comradely that you all have.

***Barsie's Uni 18 Plan - Miner or Fleeter?***

On to you Ogame life, did you start Uni 18 with a plan?

Barsie: Yes totally- plan was to not build fleet! I actually wanted to play as basically a pure miner who raided with a very small fleet

Krazy Hazey: Well now that's interesting, considering you have the number two ranked fleet in Uni 18, when did that plan go out the window

Barsie: Basically I blame penguins for that. When we went to war I wanted to be able to play an active role, so my raid fleet developed over night into a crashing fleet

Krazy Hazey: After the war did you continue to build fleet?

Barsie: Not really no- I was very good and stuck to my mining. The fleet kind of developed every time there was war I'd make it bigger, or we'd spot a top 10 and I'd make some more fleet to max profits
It's weird, I still class myself as a miner/raider much less a crasher/fleeter

***Barsie's Best and Worse Hits of Uni 18***

Krazy Hazey: So which would be your most favorite hit in Uni 18?

Barsie: Dam that's tricky
Thing is I've done some big ACS hits and all of them with different people- Achilles, AK, Speed2, Geo each unique
I'll have to pick hit 2 hits 1 the hit on Chessfreek [TD: 1.564.131.000] The Revenger & barsie & DarkSyth & ODA & GodsMistress[JESUS] vs chessfreek[M.M.]

Krazy Hazey: Ahh the fastest revenge hit ever

Barsie: Just getting revenge so fast- represents a lot about alliance

Krazy Hazey: Yes it sure does

Barsie: Revenge is taken seriously
The second hit was on Luicfer RS [TD: 1.020.836.000] Dragoon [JESUS] vs Lucifer RS [URF]

Krazy Hazey: Yes I can understand why this is so special.
On the flip side, any hits you regret

Barsie: I really don't like hitting people who I like
So hitting Jumpgate and Chessfreek, were tinged a little as they are two great guys

Krazy Hazey: Ahh so your favorite and one of your regrets all in one hit

Barsie: yeah, not only do I like Chessfreek, I didn't like hitting Warlords old account. I didn't have NAPs or anything- so I had to take the opportunities
I actually messaged Warlord and told him if he ever wants to return he could have my account lol

Krazy Hazey: Very impressive, not a lot of people would do that in-game

Barsie: Well it's only a game- you have to have the fun

Krazy Hazey: Absolutely, do you have any embarrassing moments in Ogame that you would like to share?

Barsie: Well in Uni 2 you could say getting crashed there- but that was a good thing for me at the time. Uni 18 I got ninja'd in a stupid way

Krazy Hazey: How so?

Barsie: I had 2 attacks flying at 2 different targets, and I'd used 333 on both targets. Probe delay safety probe first one spot ninja, recalled wrong set of 333 battle cruisers
Boom 333 BC down

Krazy Hazey: Dam that got to suck - almost as bad as crashing 1000 dessies into the wrong co-ords

Barsie: Yeah nearly

***Alliance Rivalry - Jesus, Space Feds and USSR***

Krazy Hazey: So tell me about the initial Jesus v Space fed days, How did that come about?

Barsie: Well it's just straight competitiveness really, always helped with the old flamers LawnSausage and M A F I A, Both alliances wanted to be #1 but it's always been good spirited really

Krazy Hazey: Yeah it made the Uni rather exciting to read the flames in the posts

Barsie: Uni 18 has a great rivalry between each other but has always had a sense of humor

Krazy Hazey: Now the newly formed USSR

Barsie: Well that's something JESUS was waiting to form for a long time, we were surprised how long it took them to really act, the finally made their mark with Outkast hit (TD:2.19B) [USSR] Grunf+JackSparrow+ FoRsAk3n+syntaX+Lucifer RS-=vs=-Outkast19 [Jesus]

Krazy Hazey: Yeah it has taken their time to get a decent hit on you guys, So hope fully this will spark up Uni 18 again, bring back some excitement

Barsie: Well it's going to be interesting- we'll be bringing some big guns back I'm sure. Hopefully mHt will be back and go on one of his rampages; I'm still too rusty to rampage

***The Origin Of Camel Productions***

Krazy Hazey: Jesus have been known to make many large hits, and at one stage owned the Top 10, the one consistency was they were all brought together by Camel Productions
How did that come about?
What's the fascination with the Camels?

Barsie: Ha-ha well it's always been a running joke in the JESUS circs. Basically we have a few Lebanese in our team- we always joked how they all travel around on camels. We always joked about pimping your camel like a car- spoiler, go faster stripes rocket launcher etc, so Pimp My Camel Productions was born

Krazy Hazey: I thought it was a little more than travelling on camels, I thought some members had a love affair with camels

Barsie: Well Achilles had the biggest collection of camel porn in the Arab world, losing him from the team was a major blow. We are stuck to gay jokes and teaching Cuddly bear about bukkake

Krazy Hazey: Yeah I miss him

***Real Life: Barsies Wife Hunting Trip in South East Asia***

Krazy Hazey: So off the topic of Ogame, you recently took some time off, would you like to share with the Ocrack community a little about your trip to SE Asia

Barsie: Sure. Well decided to take some time off work and do a jaunt across the world to chill out see some sights. Travelled around Singapore/ Malaysia/ Thailand had an awesome time. Anyone considering traveling for a while I'd seriously recommend it- life changing.

Krazy Hazey: You mention life changing - how was your trip life changing

Barsie: Changed my perspective on the world. They live a far simpler life out there, and enjoy it far more than we do in the west. Most of us stress about the bills we have to pay each month and what new gadget we are going to buy. We are too possession orientated, if you break things down life is a lot simpler and enjoyable. If you've got enough money for food a bed and a few beers with your friends, you've got it made

Krazy Hazey: I like the sound of that, enough money for a few beers is all I need

Barsie: Exactly, and that's how they live all the time, and they tend to have totally stress free jobs because of that attitude

Krazy Hazey: So to finish any wise words out there for your fellow Uni 18 players

Barsie: Play fair and have a good time- and trade me some deut!

Krazy Hazey: Thanks Barsie

Barsie: No worries

ChaosJosh interviews BlueFusion / Charmed / Paci / The Cat - Admin Team Members (February 15th, 2009)

Quote

Game Administration Interview

We thought it was about time that you all got to know the Game Admins a bit better. So here's an insight into our GAs lives
(Warning: Its alot to read, so take the phone off the hook, grab a coffee and get comfortable.)

>> BlueFusion <<

What drew you to OGame?

Like many it was friends. Some people at school had started playing during lessons and some lunch breaks, and as it seemed like a good distraction from the work I was meant to be doing I registered next time I was on the computer. 4 years on and I still use it as a distraction to my university work, some things will never change

What experience do you have of OGame?

I've been a player for nearly 4 years now. I can't remember when in 2005 I started but it was during the first quater of the year. I stopped playing over summer, as I hadn't caught the o-crack bug yet, but when I restarted in September 2005 I havn't been able to let go since.

As a staffer, I joined in september 2007. Had a short break recently due to a RL situation, but back again and working even more.

What made you join the staff?

I wanted to find out more about the game. I had a great alliance, but my RL friends had gradually stopped playing and I wanted to be more connected to the game. I liked the idea of helping people with their problems and getting to know more people, glad that I sent that application.

Why choose the game side of the team?

The boards wern't quite my cup of tea. I prefered being able to actually have an effect with helping peoples problems, bug hunting from the forums can be annoying whereas being a GO gives you those extra powers. I did a stint as Bugs and Complaints mod, which was fun, but when I took my break from staff I left that role too.

How do you find working as staff?

I can't pretend its perfect all the time, but it certainly fulfills the main aim I had when I joined - to make more friends. There are alot of teamlers and through IRC and the forums you really get to know people, through general spam and also giving them help when needed.

The problems with progame lately show the stresses of being staff, there can at times be a feeling of stuck in the middle between GF and the player base, I just hope that the players remember that we arn't that different to them - we all play and suffer the same problems.

Advantages...Disadvantages. (Not like commander etc, just like responsibility...etc)

The social aspects. We have team meetups and its just a generally social thing to do. The favourite phrase I have is from spiderman - with great power comes great responsibility and ensuring that players are getting a fair deal I'd class as an advantage.

The main disadvantage is not being able to get offline - theres always someone who needs something and it can take hours just to make dinner

How long have you been GA?

4 days

What was it like when you were first appointed GA?

Pretty much the same as it is now. I'm an Administrator at www.ikariam.org as well, so most things arn't new. Still very exciting mind, and lots of people wishing me well wish has been great.

What's your favourite thing about being on the team, being GA?

Pretty mcuh as i've already described - the team feeling. Having said that if you believe everything you read on the forums my favourite thing is banning people without any reason at all

Favourite food?

This might sound strange... but cereal. I can't get enough of it. Having a coffee and panini in star bucks is awesome too though.

Favourite band?

Fratelli's, although Muse and Kings of Leon are deffinately big contenders to that title

Favourite Ogame moment?

So many to choose from. IRC really is the place where it all happens. Having said that talking to a certain person on Skype, and then watch as he suddenly falls from view as his chair has collapsed is probably my favourite. Not really OGame though

Your past-times/hobbies?

I used to do alot of paintballing - not so much recently though. Most of my time is spent making websites and programs, although there is a pool table in the common room here at my accomadation, so I've been brushing up on my skills lately.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

>> Charmed <<

What drew you to OGame?

My husband and son started playing in 2005, after being frustrated listening to their strange chats, I made an account to see what it was all about. Wasnt long before I was hooked more than they were.

What experience do you have of OGame?

4 years playing experience, although didn't play much in the last year, I've tried all play styles but stuck to what I enjoyed most, being a fleeter.

What made you join the staff?

Just over a year ago my accounts were accessed and destroyed, it was the most upsetting experience to see all your hard work taken from you. The whole ogame community were so kind, players offered to join u7 to send me resources to help me rebuild. I didn't play actively after, but wanted to give something back and help others.

Why choose the game side of the team?

I actually applied to both game and board sides, I was accepted first as a Game Operator, then joined as FA mod later.

How do you find working as staff?

I love working as staff and chatting on the IRC, but it can also be very frustrating.

Advantages...Disadvantages. (Not like commander etc, just like responsibility...etc)

One advantage of being a GA is being able to help players in all universes, a disadvantage I think is that by the time most players contact us they are at their most unhappy, but this can also be more rewarding if you can help them.

How long have you been GA?

Became GA in September 2008

What was it like when you were first appointed GA?

Daunting, but had some great support.

What's your favourite thing about being on the team, being GA?

Chatting on IRC and getting to know the others on the team ohh and my rainbow stars

Favourite food?

Chocolate cookies

Favourite band?

Don't really have one, i have always gone on the song.

Favourite Ogame moment?

Has to be getting a top10 while playing under an assumed nick

Your past-times/hobbies?

Used to love clay pigeon shooting, but no time these days, so just ogame

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

>> Paci <<

What drew you to OGame?

Friends

What experience do you have of OGame?

Playing for couple years now, nothing special there. Met some awesome people arround here - thats what it gives charm to this game

What made you join the staff?

Friends again ^^

Why choose the game side of the team?

I wasn't ever / still not really board fan

How do you find working as staff?

Its pure pleasure

Advantages...Disadvantages. (Not like commander etc, just like responsibility...etc)

Advantages: great people to work with, love spammy chats ^^ Disadvantages...mmm I don't think there are any ^^

How long have you been GA?

About 9 months or so

What was it like when you were first appointed GA?

Scary xD

What's your favourite thing about being on the team, being GA?

Working with different people

Favourite food?

Icecream

Favourite band?

None really

Favourite Ogame moment?

So many of them I can't just choose one

Your past-times/hobbies?

Doggies, doggies, doggies

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

>> The Cat <<

What drew you to OGame?

I came over with a couple of people from a Diablo2 board. Needless to say I quit the hunt for the ladder ranks and kept with OGame from that point on >_>

What experience do you have of OGame?

If it wasn't that awesome, I would not have stayed around for so long. Its motivating system of points, fleet and ranks just keeps it going for me. On top of that it's free!

What made you join the staff?

I first wanted to become mod, because it sounded cool.The apps where never open, however, so I decided to put in an App for GameOperator, a lucky coincidence

Why choose the game side of the team?

See above

How do you find working as staff?

The people you get to work with are awesome and that's what keeps me going. Aside from that I like the challenge that comes with the increased responsibility as you climb the career ladder.

Advantages...Disadvantages. (Not like commander etc, just like responsibility...etc)

I believe I covered this with the above answer.

How long have you been GA?

Should be Aug 7th, 2007. About 1.5 years, the "most senior" GameAdmin there is at this point in time.

What was it like when you were first appointed GA?

Lots of work. I'd lie if I denied I wasn't happy and proud.

What's your favourite thing about being on the team, being GA?

That you get to look behind the scenes a bit, get to take responsibility, get to impact how decisions are made.

Favourite food?

No definite favourite really. I enjoy an excellent steak, most vedgetables and Chinese food.

Favourite band?

Again hard to nail down one. My all-time favourite album is Buena Vista Social Club by the band with the same name. I enjoy listening to Alanis Morissette, The Cranberries and 2pac.

Favourite Ogame moment?

Once I reach rank 1 in universe 4. Hopefully in the near future

Your past-times/hobbies?

Other then OGame I play basketball on a pretty high level. At 6'6'' I play Small Forward, Power Forward if I have to.

Jumanji declined to be interviewed, cause he's just too cool :P:)

Son Goku interviews WeTeHa (March 28th, 2009)

Quote

WeTeHa, the CoMa the redesign and the storage changes

Well for a special report I got the chance to interview WeTeHa, one of the CoMa's who have worked closely with the re-design. Hopefully this will provide some insight into the new changes and help you to understand why they are coming. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed doing it. Thanks.

WeTeHa

Son Goku

Quote
So firstly, thanks for agreeing to this ^^
Not a problem. Glad if I can help a bit of clarify some questions.
Firstly a lil' about you, if i may?
Sure.
Where are you originally from?
Originally from Berlin, but due to my job I moved to Karlsruhe 1,5 years ago.
Did you manage to settle in ok?
More or less, yes. It´s not the same as Berlin because it was a really huge city and I loved it, but Karlsruhe has it´s nice places as well. Also my colleagues are really nice and it was easy to find new contacts.
Coolio, glad to hear that.
Did you play OGame before you became a CoMa, or do you still play now?
I played it already before, think I started around middle of 2004. Still have my account running but mostly in vacation mode, just not enough time. From time to time I try to hunt some others with my fleet, but my uni is not that active.
What community do you play then? (I promise I won't hunt you down :P)
Play in OGame.de uni 2, from time to time in redesign uni .de 6 and have some really inactive account in the old public testuni 670. The first one is my real account, the others more for some tests. And please feel free to hunt me in it.
lol, I don't play much either, and any fleet i do have doesn't usually last, I can never bother to FS, lol.
My only pain is that I need a lot of deut to save my fleet, and a lot of others wanna have it.
I have a huge surplus of deut, so you're welcome to have it.
Sorry, still have 76 mios. For the moment I have enough of it.
hehe

Moving on to the general job, what communities do you CoMa?
At the moment I handle Battleknight.kr, BiteFight.se, Darkpirates.se, Galaxywars.de, Galdiatus.se, Ikariam.de, Ikariam.org, MageFight.com, MetalDamage.it, OGame.com.es and Space4k.com. And huge amount of my time is used for OGame in general. So a lot variety the whole day.
Sounds like a great deal of work as well, i assume you enjoy it all?
Sure, otherwise I would become insane. ^^ As I said I don´t really have enough time to play my ogame account really active even if I´m online the whole day. Lot to do every day, but I just like it.
So, dish the dirt, worst part of being a CoMa?
Lack of spare time I think. I´m really "in" my job. Start my Laptop around 8.30 in the morning...and shut down around 2 am. Sometimes later. At the weekend I try to catch some sleep and work again later on. So mostly not that much time just for me. But this way I als enjoy every free minute.
Yeah, always a bonus when you enjoy your job.
Yes. I´m here since 1,5 year and still can see something new every day. Sometimes it´s a good thing, sometimes not.
heh

Going onto OGame and Beta,
They're soon to be reset, assuming all the testing that needed doing is done, so overall, do you think the re-design project has been succesful and how much so?
First we´re not finished at all. Next update will be the 10th and we also need the reset because we wanna and have to test some new changings at the beginning of an universe. But I think latest after one or two more Update we will be at the end and can start updating "real" unis.
And about the success of it all...
I´m working on and with the redesign since more than a year and if I compare the first versions of it with the one we reached now, I just can say it´s a really huge success. Especially with the help of our teams and the community we were able to fix a lot of problems and change it in a way our users will like.
And I think they will like our changings within the next one or two weeks as well.
Can you reveal some of the changes to the users, or is it kept under wraps for now?
Sorry but for the moment only the new storages are public. As we announced the other things will concern the whole process of colonisation and the size and properties of planets. Just can reveal our intention with it: to make gameplay more interesting extend the period you need for your account build up.
And I really think we´re on the right way with it.
That's good to hear.

About the changed storages.
There's rumours that they are just an april fools joke, your comment on that?
Yes I heard that too, but sorry, it´s not just a joke. I know the pain with it, it affects my gaming account in an old uni as well but I really think it´s possible to "optimise" the planets a bit. Talked to some .de users and had a look for their accounts and we always found something to change so that they could build up their storages.
And at the end with a higher level you really can have a benefit out of the higher capacity.
Good to hear it from the horses mouth, so to say
Sure it´s a pain, specially on smaller planets. But we wanna give a sense to our storages as well. Till the update they´re just "existing" now they´re a real part of gameplay.
So there's some real reasons for the change.
Sure. Even if some won´t believe it, but mostly we have a special reason to change something in the game.
Well with people focusing on the negative of the change, it's nice to make sure there are pro's to it as well
Yes. For the moment just with the storages we have some negative things as well, but in the whole concept it will make a sense. And I think at least the higher capacity is something really good. ...on higher levels...
One of the main problems people seem to have is that it may mean inactives will have smaller storage space and therefore less res to raid, is this to try and prompt players to work harder and chase fleet for res, rather than a quick gain from inactives
We think one of our problems is the fast reached distance between the tops and "casual" gamer. Sure the changed storages also have advantages and disadvantages but if you´re not able to get millions just from raiding inactives it won´t be that easy to "run away" in statistics. Sure also lower ranked user will find a bit less, but we think that the active gameplay and the necessity of working together will raise up a bit. And this way we anticipate a more interesting "OGame".
And, also together with our future changings, we hope to have some more active users for a longer period within our unis. And so less inactive ones as well.
That's good to hear, and i'm sure the users will agree.
We will see.
But I´m rather sure with it.
With these new changes and re-design, do you think it wil attract more players and for a longer period of time as planned?
I will try the "new" OGame after our reset for a while as well to see how the "feeling" will be in the community, and if we have to change something on balancing or not, but all in all I think we´re on a good way and that new users will be "connected" with their accounts much more as today. This way they will be active for a longer period and I think we all will benefit from it in the unis.
So all in all, a plus all round, for all players

Is there anything else you'd like to mention about the re-design or the new storage changes?
Just can ask for some more patience. We know that we´re late with the redesign and still wanna change a lot in it, but I´m sure it will be worth the effort and makes OGame much better. For our upcoming new user as well as for the "older" ones.
That's great, again, thanks for agreeing to the interview, and good luck with the rest of the redesign and the upcoming features.
Thanks. Enjoyed it.

Cupcake interviews Delus (Meet the top 5 - Universe 1) (October 2nd, 2009)

Quote

Universe 1 - Meet the top 5 - Delus

Ok, so this one's fairly self explanatory. I interviewed the current top 5 members of universe 1. So, enjoy reading

Delus, rank #5

Delus = orange
Cupcake = magenta

First off, tell me a bit about yourselves in real life.

Hi, umm sure, well I'm from the UK and am a student at the moment studying a masters in Civil Engineering. Anything in particular you would like to know? I like Ogame evidently,.. and walks on the beech. Really into my music and American football too

How long have you been playing ogame for than?

hmm, exactly? No-idea, But roughly just over 4 years now. I wasn't in uni1 for all 4 of them though

So where else have you played than?

Well I started off in universe 4. I quit that exactly a year ago now
and have play a few u
few other*
umm, most notibly universe 7 for about a year
and universe 2 for a little while too
I am playing universe 35 too at the moment, but thats all, uni1 and 35

What got you into ogame?

Well a couple of school friends started playing it, I guess none are known bar Redemption... and they mentioned I started, they were all in uni4 so I decided to folo them in there I quickly overtook them all lol and decided I liked the game cus I was good at it xD. Made quite a name for myself in u4 and met people that played u1 which got me into uni1

Ok, so give me a brief history of your times in universe 1

effort lol... ok gimme a min
ok well in uni4 I made good friends with some RoLUErs mainly Poptart and Phoenix of Light. PoL was nice enuff to search for an account for me in uni1, ended up getting me a rank 90ish fleeter, as my uni4 was a very strong and heavy fleet I got board of it quickly so searched to trade it for a miner, a mate and fellow RoLUEr Vegso had a miner and wanted a fleet so a perfect match lol...
so I got the fleeter from 90ish to 80ish and swaped it for a 80ish miner however some of the older RoLUErs returned... and I have a bad history with 313ers... So I decided to leave RoLUE for the time being whilst the crappy RoLUE were back. I joined a little mining alliance called GoM which had some really friendly people in, GoM quickly ended up merging into Harmony.
I spent quite a few months in Harmony having fun with fellow miners but eventually and inevitably the 313ers quit again. As I was good mates with most of RoLUE still I decided to rejoin where I came from
And have been there ever since (think its 2 years since I rejoined RoLUE)

What's your best moment in the game so far?

hmm
Im gonna have to say thats in uni4 still rather then uni1 when I was in an alliance called FreeBeer, that had the best group of people I have ever known, most are prob recognisable but I wont spam the names

worst?

mhm
getting HoF raided again in uni4 by a guy called Finch xD lol. Im quite proud to say my main fleet has never been crashed except within my first couple of weeks of playing all those years ago so any HoF on me sucks a bit

Have you always had the same account?

in universe 1 I assume you mean? well apart from that quick fleeter to miner change when I first joined uni1 yes, Happy to say that pretty much all the points on this account are from me I dont feel like I was given much of a headstart and defo no help to the rank I am at now so I'm happy about that

So besides playing ogame, what else do you enjoy playing?

online?
or everything?

both.

hmm
well Im not really a massive gamer anymore... I play CoD4 online from time to time. thats pretty much it actually I do have an ikariam account to but thats not much of a game xD *hides from the GF admins* off the comp... well I love playing American football I traing and play it a lot at university. Best game on the earth ;D

Plan on quitting anytime soon?

umm, thought about it a little, but theres a few long term goals I still want to achieve in uni1 so I doubt I will anytime soon

Anything else you wanna say?

umm yeh, that Romper is sexeh... I know he will leave that in the interview <_< anything else he may edit
Sure thats all you wanna know about me?

yeh tis good

Cupcake interviews Craftyseed (Meet the top 5 - Universe 1) (October 4th, 2009)

Quote

Universe 1 - Meet the top 5 - Craftyseed

Craftyseed, rank #4

Crafty = blue
Cupcake = magenta

First off, tell me a bit about yourselves in real life.

Single father, great girlfriend, great friends and family, 33 years old. Been playing poker for primary income for several years now. Have worked regular jobs too. Started Ogame as I began my custody battle as a way to vent, and meet new people.
My daughter is my world!!!

awww

Since I play online poker a lot, Im have time for Ogame.
When I " Quit " is when I was being forced to get a real job by the court system. Not really, but my attorney pretty much told me that no matter how much I made doing it, I would risk losing my daughter since the conservitive courts looked down on the profession
thats the ebb and flow of my RL, lol

How long have you been playing ogame for than?

When I started it was in Uni 1, and Kissfan, the account I currently play was #1 at just over 800,000 points. Not sure the date though

Ok, so give me a brief history of your times in universe 1

Started with coworkers in an alliance called DarkStar, there was like 50 of us, and at any given time 24/7 there were 20-30 side by side at work online. I remeber launching one SC, 200 sytems for res, I always had all my fleet slots filled hitting only ( i ) players. My first goal was a nanite. My priorities after my nanite was to always have a mine and a research in Queue. I only built fleet when

What's your best moment in the game so far?

the others were queued up. My first non RL Ogame friends was Little Boeddha of JoKer.TC. Not knowing the complexities of the game, or really simplicities searched out for assistance out side of my alliance. LB heard the call and he and other .TC alliances stepped in to push aside threatening players.
sorry finishing the first one, lol

ahh lol

My eyes got opened to the vastness of Ogame when I probed a guy not in an alliance named The Swirl. I left my house to go to a friends, I figured my 500 lite lasers and 300 light fighters and 120 BS were safe. Only to find about 45 minutes later that I had been crashed by 30,000 LF's and 30 BS by now Swirl of Mara.DIM. with a message to check rant before you probe someone. I didnt know how to
check rank
I read on the forums to mesage bigger players if they crash you and ask if they can help you out. So I messaged Swirl and long story short he sent back all but the deut from his atack on me, all the debris, and I sent him targets and got advise from him till the day he retired the 1st time, which then he sent me all his res he had.
The founders of DarkStar left and joined other alliances, mostly .TC. I joined JoKer.TC.
I dont know about best moment, but I will give you the defining moment in my Ogame life...

ok

I was in JoKer.TC, and very very good friends with Mara.DIM. I never probed an active Mara.DIM player in my ogame carrier. I shared their discuss with RoLUE and one day I caught one of their fleets sitting. One of their really big ones, that shouldnt have been sitting at that time a few systems from Swirl, and a few systems from Cajun of Pirates. I tried vigorously to contact Swirl via ingame,
Mara.DIM forums, Phone. I couldnt find him. I wanted this guy toast cause he tried to move insytem and return hit me while I saved for a hockey game. He was 2 min behind, I got home with 45 sec to go...
So I messaged Cajun
he messaged me back. I told him I had a massive hit for him, Asked him if I gave it to him if he would not attack/probe me ever again. He needed recs though multiple waves from each of us. So he moved deut and launched. when he was 20 min out Aral finally contacted me back. Aral was just a tad bit pissed off that I gave the hit to Cajun, to say the least. It was aTopTen hit.
It was at this moment via Aral I was forced to make a decission.
Do I stick with Mara.DIM and betray Cajun, or do I honor my word with Cajun. At this time I was having a sort of insystem war with SlyAnimal of pirates. SO I messaged Cajun and asked him to have Sly back off me, He wouldnt commit, I told him it was fair in return for the intel and rec help. He wouldnt do it. So I gave Mara the full details of the hit, and we took the debris, which was over 100mil
That was the first time I broke my word in this game. When I officially took a side. I chose Mara.DIM and the absoultly smartest and funniest players in this game besides a few .TC and and others I knew.
They gave me this KissFAN account I was so excited, and dedicated to building it up. Only problem is, all but one planet was grouped together in upper G2. The plus, All the mines were 34/30/28, and at that time the next closetest mine anyone new of was 32 metal. Kissfan knew what he was doing, like Urza now.
I literally tore down 5 planets with 34/30/28 and relocated in other galaxies, got moons, and rebuilt them bigger. Now that I look back it took forever. lol
If KissFAN never quit, or at the very least told someone he quit so his planets were not raped for 6 months I dont think anyone would have caught him. As long as they stuck with his apparent plan.
Done with that one, sorry if I rant bringing back memories

Whats the worst then?

LOLzzz...
Only one really...

which is?

When in DarkStar i was the top account by far, I moved cross galaxie to crash a guy who was bothering my alliance mates. I was leaving for vacation the next morning via plane. I launched on him and like 2 min before I got him he signed on. I was so pissed, my fleet was there for nothing. So I probed an inactive and saw the most res Id ever seen on planets, and he had like 9 of them. So I had my
whole fleet raiding this guy, I probe his moon and see fleet had returned, so I launched on it. The last thing I remember was looking at overview and seeing 13 min till recs get back... I woke up to my PC making that sound when you hold down keys on the keyboard. My face was laying across it. My fleet and all the res I collected was gone. LordBane was the last person to crash me, the second ever
and the last to do it on his own accord,
I vmoded felt like crap, empty, and left running late for the airport. I was back about 1.5 weeks later and havent had a BAD moment in ogame since

Have you always had the same account?

Nope
On my 3rd

What would you say your playing style is? Fleeter?>

LOL

well I was fleeter for sure, and I feel confident if I cared enough to hunt someone I could get them. If I wanted to hammer someone I could. But the truth of my current state well is miner/noobie turtle who has a fleet and knows how to use it if it would provide enough satisfaction to try.

So besides playing ogame, what else do you enjoy playing?

I'll try anything. I'm an avid Disc Golfer, poker player. I play Chess, and other strategy games both board and digital.

When do you think you’ll quit?

At this point it totaly pends on the social aspect of the game.
getting crashed, and rank are of no concern to me..
The fact that no one os playing in Uni 1 is what concerns me..
They need to give Uni 1 ACS so we can get down to business

unno if they ever will tbh
prob a lot of people would complain

who have you interviewed?

original Lord, delus, urza and you
waitin on Jake and Dancake

Cupcake interviews Lord42 (Meet the top 5 - Universe 1) (October 7th, 2009)

Quote

Universe 1 - Meet the top 5 - Lord42 - The Original

Lord42, the original
Rank#3

Lord42 = green
Cupcake=magenta

First off, tell me a bit about yourselves in real life.

I work in the cash office at Walmart counting money all day. My wife Barbara is a massage therapist, and we have 2 kids. Sarah who is 8 and Nicholas who is 9 months old and the big reason for my handing my account to Dan.
I'm a game player, which is what brought me to Ogame in the first place. I had played several browser games. ALl of which were heavily team reliant. Ogame got my attention because it was a game I could play where I didn't have to rely on other people to get ahead.
Chess, Strategy games and my X-box are my hobbies.
What else is there to tell?

Lol about real life thats good ^^
How long have you been playing ogame for than?

I got in about 2 or 3 months after uni 1 first started. Early enough to be ahead of most, and late enough to put me behind the 8 ball with those that were there when it all began.

What got you into ogame?

Boredom. Was looking for a game to play, and this one grabbed me. I am a science fiction fan. I played the crap out of Star Control when I was a kid, and the first thing I noticed when I logged in, is that there was an alliance named Ur-Quan, my favorite Star Control villians. They were tough at the time. They rapidly became gimps though. I sort of consider myself the last of them
and the only one to live properly up to their evil reputation

Ok, so give me a brief history of your time in universe 1

Yeesh. That's not brief.

do tell than

I started out solo. I wanted to join Ur-QUan, but they wouldn't have me, so I went it alone. I remember I made just about every mistake in the book. All my planets were within 20 systems. I colonised a world that was 44 slots. Stupid like that, which set me back hardcore later on. Didn't know why moons were so nifty or what a phalanx was.
I had a neighbor with whom I was feuding. I can't remember his name anymore, but goly gee...WHen I took out his 1k lfs, his 400 battle ships and his 26 Destroyers at long last for 450k profit and then farmed him out of the game, I became hopelessly hooked on the game.
I toodled along for a while, until I inevitably ran into folks from DIM. One of them was keen to farm me, but I was in the super uber active never sleep stage of my Ogame career and he couldn't get me, until that fateful day when I told him to piss off in a private message, and got banned for 2 days.
Those guys from DIM farmed me for 2 days, and I came back to 100 or so mesages. ANd that's how my dislike of them started. SHortly after Aral came prowling around, and I was introduced to pain, and the turtle stage of My Ogame career. I was very happy to be a miner with a tidy little raiding fleet. Aral started chasing me around and I started trying to figure out ways to hide.
Without a moon.
Needless to say, I didn't sleep much. Eventually Ur-QUan got into a fight with Mara, and they were desperate enough for fresh meat, that they took me in.
I warred with Mara which soon became Mara.DIM for...forever, and through this, I actually evolved a bit. Got myself a moon. Had some good hits. I am a good account builder. I am a good raider/farmer. I've crashed a fleet or 3 in my time, but I miss way more then I hit. It wasn't till I let Destruction play my account for a bit that we got out first good scalp by capping Doa.
It was during this time that D was playing my account that I first encountered dear Crafty. I had started another account to mine and toodle around with, and of the available alliances, .TC looked the most interesting to me. They let me into their wing not knowing precisely who I was, as I was playing under a different name, and things seemed amiable enough.
It eventually got out that I was actually a pretty experienced player and a guy by the name of Jubei offered me one of .TC's star accounts. I shouldn't have taken it. Never play an account that you didn't build. It always ends badly. I did take it though. I was tired of not having a fleet, and watching Destruction smash everything with my old account.
So I took the one Jubei offered, and so began the drama.
Now, in defense of .TC, there were some folks in that alliance that were all right and tried to do right by me. There were however, others that did not like Jubei giving me the account because I was very highly extremely pro-Urquan, and they feared I would take the account out of .TC and put it in Ur-quan.
So, instead of talking to me about it, they got together behind my back, and had Jubei reposses the account. Nobody told me anything. I just couldn't log into the account one day, and dear UCS started playing it. All the while, I was figuring it had been stolen, as my access to Ogame had been cut off. After about 3 days of trying to figure out what had happened,
Jubei fired me an E-mail saying what had happened since no one in .TC was interested in sharing, and I never really looked back after that. If it had a .TC tag, or anything to do with .TC...it needed to die. I don't know what hand dear Crafty played in all that crap, but he was part of .TC, and he needed to die, and it just so happened that Destruction was done with Ogame.
So, I got my account back with a fricking fleet and resolved to settle scores. Destruction had taken the account out of Ur-QUan, which did not bother me terribly, and he had joined Kia. I didn't know the folks that well, but I did know that they were set against Mara.DIM, and I was very keen to war them on a more even (elite alliance) footing. So I stayed in Kia Kaha. (Despite the silly name)
I set right to warring with Mara.DIM. I had a neighbor in G3. Monarchz Man. He was a very active fleeter for them. I watched him for a while, and being that Mara folks were not used to being on anyone's menu, the night I decided to strike was dead on the money. QUirky coincidence struck though.
At the same time my fleet was flying at Monarchz, I get a wierd message from Vengance saying that Master CHief's recyclers were attacking him...It turns out that someone had hacked 2 Mara.DIM fleets that night, and self destructed them. So Mara folks wake up to losing control of 2 strong accounts, and me crashing a 3rd all in the same night. They were not very pleased by the coincidence.
Mara.DIM declared open war that morning, and Aral came after me with a fricking vengance. He always had the upper hand. He was the better player, and he had a stronger account. He had me running scared for quite a while, before he finally decided that the fact that he couldn't crash me meant I was cheating. A saga I will not regail you with.
Now, re-enter dear Crafty. He's a very social creature. And it seems that somehwere along the way, he got chummy with Mara.DIM. He was in .TC, but he never shut up on the boards. Wars in OGame are fought as much in drabble words on the boards as they are ingame. It's easier to win a war of words then it is to catch a persistently active fleet. He and I started sparring in posts.
I started chasing his alliance mates since I couldn't catch him. It wasn't long before he left .TC and joined Mara.DIM and very officially became my arch rival. I chased him all over everywhere, and Aral chased me, and nobody ever caught anybody.
I can't say for sure why Mara.DIM quit. They say they got bored. Personally, I think they all left because they finally had gottent hemselves into a fight that they were not patient enough to win. Kia had landed quite a number of hits on them and they had nothing to show for it. Aral left, and so did many of the founders that gave that alliance it's teeth and made it what it was.
It was dear Crafty who stepped up after Aral and Cador stepped down. I pulled my hair out when He went from an account I could digest and was set up to hit, to playing KissFan's account. I was so fricking mad. I thought I had the little cumquat, and he slipped right out of my grasp and moved into the number 2 account. It was lucky for me that that account had no fleet to speak of.
Or I might have gone from hunter to hunted. Crafty had the mines, I had the fleet. Unfortunately, that was all I had. I had grown my fleet way to big, and the rest of my account was basically crap. So, I set to do major restructuring. Tore down 3/4 of my planets and then mooned them all and then built my mines to something respectable. By the time I had the structure in place to support my fleet..
Crafty had built his fleet up to rival mine. ANd so started the stalemate, where Crafty and I stabbed at eachother by smacking around each other's friends.
AL.INC was formed. I view said alliance as an amalgamation of MARA.DIM, and .TC. All of which had to be destroyed. All of which needed to be strangled. All of which needed to choke. Crafty had to die. His influence had to be stomped out of the universe at all costs. Meh. I fight the good fight. I will outlast him. My wife got pregnant, and it was a complicated pregnancy.
So, I offered the account to Dancake. It's his for as long as he'd like it, and when he decides he's done...I will play again. In the meantime, I very much enjoy watching the things he is doing. I could get into my bad history with Pitbull and LittleB, but nah. Let's just say I about ejaculated when I logged on and saw Dan had assimilated them.
That enough history for you?

yes lol
What's your best moment in the game so far?

I don't have a favorite persay. There are a few that stand out though. Smashing Monarchz and the drama that followed. Helpind Destruction get Doa. Stomping Strike Raider....Eating Mady....Most folks in this universe have seen my ships in their overview at least once. My favorite moment will be pushing the launch button on Crafty...If Dan doesn't get him first.

Worst?

Aral eating my solar sats with about 45 seconds to spare before my fleet returned from it's save from my lone moon.
Crafty being given an account that I couldn't eat...
You shouldn't be so chummy with crafty. Continued exposure to him without proper protective gear, causes brain dammage.

Your novel covered the rest of my questions

Surely...Just make sure that when Lord42 vs Craftyseed finally pops up on the boards, you remember I told you so.
And be sure to tell him for me, that he's gonna need more small lasers...

lol
Anything else you wanna toss in there?

ANything else? Or is that a rap?
AL.INC blows big goat.

yeah you covered everything else lol

Ok then. That is the universe according to me. It's a very simple equation really. You are pro Crafty, or Pro tentacle. Either way, yer gonna get eaten eventually. Good luck with your interviews, and making sense of it all.

Lol ty hun

Cupcake interviews DanCake (Meet the top 5 - Universe 1) (October 10th, 2009)

Quote

Universe 1 - Meet the top 5 - DanCake

Dancaek aka the new Lord42
Rank #3

Cupcake = magenta
Dancake/Dancaek = yellow

First off, tell me a bit about yourselves in real life.
Hey, well I am 22, living on an Island in England, and working as an electrician. Got myself a lovely partner, and my main hobby is football.

How long have you been playing ogame for than?
On and off for almost 5 years.

What got you into ogame?
Friends back in my school days. Took them a month to rope me into it (I'll never play that! etc etc) but now I am the last one standing!

Ok, so give me a brief history of your times in universe 1
Ogame began for me with said friends, we named our shameful alliance GWA. That's right... Giraffes With Attitude! Rad. Short story short, we sucked. Within a month I had one friend left known as "The Squirrel", perhaps my closest friend, and we found ourselves in the alliance Honor. This was another small fry alliance, with players that later became great friends(namely Firestorm, Coolwater and Volrath - recognised mostly for their role in the U2 Cursed saga). We had a blast in Honor and it didn't take long to establish our main enemies. That would be UrQuan and Mara, the 2 forces of the Universe. Being such a distance ahead of us, they didn't care too much for our pitiful existence. There were a few individual battles, with Squirrel and Influx being a particular epic. Believe it or not, Lord42 and I were rather hostile back then too, and I recall crashing his fleet for a measly 12%er. Regardless, we were a minor blip on the radars of UrQuan and Mara, and Honor disappeared. I then found myself in Wildfire, eventually becoming the man in charge. Amidst my recruiting, I met a guy called Dave. You will know him as 'Jake', and we would race each other up the rankings back before we were even in the top 100. I lasted a month before getting bored of helping 40 people, and went solo. Coincidentally, Mara and UrQuan went head to head in a big way at the same time. Seeing Mara as the lesser of two Evils, I sought refuge there. Alas, it wasn't to be. The response of 'SP' more hostile than my ex, and Mara went about their ways of eradicating UrQuan, with Lord42 perhaps coming out as one of the few credible members.

That was the point where Uni 2 was introduced - a second server was an extremely novel idea back then. Anyhow, our school friends bet us we couldn't dominate the Uni, so Squirrel and I left Uni 1 and set up ship there. Cutting the tosh, we created Cursed, bashed any Maras back to Uni 1, and then beat the Uni into submission. Off the back of that performance, a worldly game operator by the name of Cavalier contacted me regarding a Uni 1 account he had been asked to find an owner for. As luck would have it, it was ranked 13th and in Mara. I swiftly accepted, left the alliance and crashed one of them an hour later. Perhaps that was the first time I really got myself noticed. Jake formed his alliance Kia Kaha shortly after, boasting legends such as Cajun and Destruction. We took an 'all guns blazing' approach and weren't particularly successful in our attempts to remove Mara from power. We caught a couple of smaller targets, but for the most part, we just gained points really really fast, and enjoyed many a battle of wit.

Following on from that, I became a bit of a journeyman, toying around with newly opened Universes for the most part. During that period, Aral had somehow managed to crash the account I was previously playing, so I eventually found myself returning for a short period on Cajun's account. The usual drama entailed, and I then continued being a journeyman, during which I became acquainted with Lord42. I now find myself lucky enough to be playing his account and am having a blast. Many things have changed. Mara is now AL.INC, and I am now RoLUE. The players are different, but the old fight has survived with the generations of players. I believe that in recent months, the battle has began to twist in our, Team Evil's, favour, but it is fair to say that with quality players on each side of the field, it is a fight which will evolve, not end. That is what makes this game great.

What's your best moment in the game so far?
- Now that is a hard one to call. In my opinion, every crash that means something personally is a great moment, with the greatest perhaps being defined by the team work put into it. Recently, the Frozen Biscuit and LittleBoeddha crashes are ones that I enjoyed very much, with Pitbull not far behind. Back in days gone by, Woosh and I double teaming Talos was also a good time. I believe the best moments are yet to come.

What's your worst?
I like to keep a fresh perspective on the game, and as such I see 'bad things' as more of a learning curve. It is always sad to see a friend crashed, or quit, but I will remember them for the good times. I would say my biggest regrets about the game are some of the things I said when I was still growing up. These days, I have a great respect for enemies, past, present and future.

Any embarassing secrets you can tell us?
I was neokid lol

Have you always had the same account?
Not by a long stretch

Always been with same alliance than?
Also not by a long stretch, although the Universe feels much more 'settled' these days.

Any background history you wanna share?
I would imagine when most people think of me in Uni 1, they think of battles with Mara and AL.INC, so perhaps some players are curious as to why we bother!

Aside from it being a bit of a laugh, it actually goes way back into the past. When I joined, Mara and UrQuan were the big fish and gave our (puny) alliance hell. The two were very much at each others throats and at the time we had by far seen UrQuan as the worst of the two. When Mara sprung an offspring with the purpose of gunning down the elite of UrQuan, I saw it as a chance to kill two birds with one stone - befriending one enemy, and removing another. The response I had was pretty nasty, and made it quite clear that I had an enemy for life, and so it began...

Have you made quite a few friends through the game?
Absolutely. Too many to list, but I have certainly met a lot of people who would be close friends in real life were it not for geography.

What would you say your playing style is?
Fleetster.

So besides playing ogame, what else do you enjoy playing?
Honestly, I am not really one for computer games. I play Pro evolution soccer with mates(usually as a drinking game!), and enjoy an occasional game of poker.

When do you think you’ll quit?
As soon as I am not enjoying it...

Cupcake interviews Jake (Meet the top 5 - Universe 1) (October 13th, 2009)

Quote

Universe 1 - Meet the top 5 - Jake

Jake Rank #2

Ok, so Jake's was done a little differently. It was done via in-game PM's and as such, it is just one big chunk of text. So, Enjoy reading

First off though, here is the first interview done by Vegso
==Interview with Jake==[Uni 1]

Finally got a chance to write. A lot of what you need is in the interview I already did for GNN. In short I started in Dec of the year that the .org uni1 was opened. After 1 year I'd got to rank 30. I wasn't in an alliance until I formed Kia Kaha when I was ranked 2nd. It was at the urging of Dancaek as he and several others decided that the Mara alliance needed some sort of opposition. Although the introduction of officiers contributed to their downfall we did our part by taking out at least 30 of their fleets. Possibly more but I lst count. Was ver satisfying to see their alliance disband. In a way it did rise again with some elements forming Al.inc but it's never been the same as Mara was.
Anyway I was Number 1 for just 3 weeks short of 3 years so that gives Urza a target.
In March of this year I went to South America for a holiday and went into vacation mode for 2 months. Other than that I think I'd only taken 4 days off for a family wedding.
I came across ogame in the first place on a message board of a popular auction site. Sever folks were discussing the game and it sounded interesting. The handful of us on that board learned the game together. It was nothing like the game we have today as it was full of bugs and real weird things happened all the time. eg. the message system went down a couple of times. That meant you could attack someone and after 1 hour the attack report and even any probes done would disappear. Gave you real confidence to attack folks much higher ranked than you.
Another weird one that took a while to work out was that res would build up while ppl were in vac mode. They'd come out after 2 weeks and have a heap of res. Was good to watch for this and attack them if they left res sitting. Was good for 10mil res one Friday night when I got home from work and was a real boost in those days.
I met Flick on that message board I mentioned. He quit years ago but his account still hangs on as the 47th ranked account. He quit 3 times before he finally gave up. The first 2 times he deleted all but his home planet. It was awesome to see home fast he could rebuild, but in the end he had to give the game away as it impacted too much on his real life.
Flick and I tested out different theories on the game in the early years of the game and worked out ways to do stuff that very few people have ever known. We found inactives before anyone else did and divided the universe up between us. There were no maps in those days and we did well to raid as much as we did.
Coolguy6 was another friend I met on that message board. He was 16 when he started and possibly younger but he was the most fun player I've met other than Gurney Halek who played in Cursed in uni2. Now he was totally nuts. In uni1 he'd got some kid to threaten to hunt him down in real life an kill him. That brought about a total ban on the kid as Gurney drive him nuts by his constant raids. The ban "for real life Death Threat." no subject
still makes me laugh. Gurney played the game to excess and it cost him big time in real life so he quit also.
Its a game that took over many peoples lives.
There were always those that claimed you only did well if if you played all day every day. True that would help but in the end its about time and resource management. Get the mix right and its easy to progress, get it wrong and your soon on the end of good crashing.
Speaking of crashes. I got to mention Aral.
He was a French player that was number 1 for a short time. But he was also a great crasher. He came to the game with I believe knowlege from the german universes so he had an advantage over others in .org but take nothing away from him he was awesome. I was disappoint when he quit over the officers mess when he and DOA suicided into each other. Craftyseed was the benificiary of that crash as he got a huge chunk of the debris.
As for my playing style... at first it was miner raider. I kept pretty much under the radar until I was in a good enough position to finally build a fleet. I quietly built up my destroyers until I got to a point where I had the strongest fleet before anyone knew it.
It was then that I started crashing folks and grew the rest of my fleet.
I became a crasher then and thats when I took out 13 Mara fleets.
At one point I set up Doa to crash him but he escaped by less than 60 seconds. I don't even think he knew how close he came to losing his fleet. I could have still taken out his recyclers
but I let it go as I had to get to work.
I used to own a fast food place, with the main food being fresh fried fish and chips plus burgers. These days I work part time in a video store and rent out dvds to ppl etc. I also own an Antiques store, which is also part time. Its fun life I got most of the time and it allowed me the freedom to play online games.
I've played many of the gameforge games and been in the top 10 of all I played and number1 in a few.
I got to say that I believe gameforge has been heading down a path of producing games that fit into the console market way of doing things.
Console games are generally more about looking and sounding good and gameplay comes third in the games development.
Ogame was all about being a good game first and foremost but that doesn't seem to be the focus now.
I saying this I see my days in playing Ogame are numbered. I've read a bit about the new changes coming and they don't suit me. It'll be sad to quit but in the end I'm just a player and what I think makes little to no difference to gameforge. Having been a successful business owner, and I know how to grow a business, I've seen gameforge ignore their customers many times but now they have gone far away from their core business of making games with good gameplay. Focusing on a better looking product has meant they have fallen down on improving the gameplay of ogame and other of their games. The ogame community has been awesome. I was voted most helpful player when they did that first Ogame awards where Dancaek was voted best crasher.
I've encouraged hundreds of ppl to play ogame over the years and talked to a huge number of people all over the world. It's always been the best part of the game and the most satisfying.

Cupcake interviews urza (Meet the top 5 - Universe 1) (October 25th, 2009)

Quote

Discussion - Urza

I apologize for the delay, but here it is

It can be discussed here Discussion - Urza

Introducing Urza, rank #1

Cupcake
Urza

First off, tell me a bit about yourselves in real life.

real life? like what do u want to know?

What do you for do for a living?
Have a family?

No family (I have parents and such, but I am not married). And I am working at an investment bank.

How long have you been playing ogame for?

Almost from the beginning of the uni1.org. I was a student back then... Made an account from scratch, made it to top10, took 1 year away from ogame, then 2,2 years ago came back, took the old Badgers Man account in rank 200 and last Jan I made it to no 1
My old account now is being run by cosmic

What got you into ogame?

Dont remember actually, some add somewhere, it looked like Masters of Orion, a PC game I was playing as a child..Then I tried it with a friend and we stuck

Ok, so give me a brief history of your times in universe 1

Didnt I? From scratch to top 10, then 1 year vacation, new account from rank 220 to rank 1. About my style, I was a miner and hardcore raider, I always thought that heavy ships raiding fleet and all booty to mines is the most effective way to grow. You
just need hell of a good fleetsaving not to lose all. I only had destroyers and BCs until I got to top 10, then I realized that I shouldnt risk anymore, there were 20 accounts that could crsh me, so for safety I built some fodder. That1s more or less all. And I have always been in Rolue (except the first 2 months when I was with my friend we started together). Rolue is my home

Got a best moment in game so far?

Best moment....tough to say...maybe the most enjpyable moment was for about 2 months when i was trying to pass Lord on points and he was raiding & making it reaally hard....I also enjoyed 3-4 years ago when I had only mines in my old accoutn and Musashi realized that and was trying to raid me all the time and me to ninja him all the time. Nice competition

Ok what about a worst?

Worse moment in general was about 2 years ago when Rolue was really non-active and it wasnt fun having no buddies to chat. I also didnt liek the time when suddenly Broken (Pitbull), suddenly went to Al.Inc, I was really considering him a RoLUE-ser buddy, that was a shock

Have you made quite a few friends through the game?

Obviously......All those who have been in Rolue for a long time now, even if they dont play ingame

Ever think you'll quit?

Well, I have already quit one time, so anything is possible, but I regret it, so I am not planning to in the near future

Anything else you'd like to add?

In general I am sad that player number decreases in the unis and if gameforge doesnt make sth dramatic like adding up universes, we ll all have to quit in the end...

Ok well i've got no more questions, so you can return to being mysterious if ya like. Thanks a ton

Well, I think I was honest and open, thank you for your time -

Grade Zero interviews Ninutra and Yakuza (U20) (February 16th, 2009)

Quote

Interview with the u20 Twins

Well here's the first interview universe 20 has seen in a long time! Featuring the love/hate identical twins Yakuza and Ninurta.
They have quite a reputation as flamers on the board and comic relief ingame in universe 20. They've been here for a while in universe 20, so let's get to know them a bit better!

Grade Zero - Interviewer
Ninurta/Charlie
Yakuza/Tom

Yo Ninurta, you're getting interviewed.
who by
The FBI.
haha
Grade obviously
So guys, you're going to be the next GNN interviewees!
woooo
wat together
Yeah, together, think you can put up with your brother for that long?
god hes thick
Anyways, this interview started as soon as this convo started, so let's get down to business.
ok
Tell your adoring fans where you're both from and what you're currently doing.
Erm. Well I'm Yakuza. 21 years old. I live in England, Plymouth and I'm failing a course at university.
What course do you do Yakuza?
Im not really sure... interim of Civil Engineering and Construction Management
I take Forensic science, its better than toms course cause i work hard
you don't work hard. you got lucky!
study lucky u might say
The rest of your family must have a system for putting up with the pair of you, I think u20 should contact them about that.
Where do you both come from originally then? And Charlie, where do you study?
Were both from Winchester
Well i study at the UWE Bristol

Right, so enough of the homely stuff, when did you both start your OGame careers?
October 2005. same as the registration of my oboard account
I started way back in Uni 3 i think, but i wasnt there for long, then went to uni 11, in this time i was a major noob, then got taught by a few players and now im in uni 20 which i have been in for the last 2 years
oh yea.. i started in uni 4. jok was the person that taught me how to play. I remember him shooting up the ranks and me being useless
The first person to hof me was Phoenix of Light. Wasnt a massive hof. But to me it felt massive xD
Noob
Can you feel the brotherly love?
nope
>_>
So how come you decided to settle down in u20?
My bro invited me to join When i was bored at uni so i thought i would return
Yeah. And I joined OTW at the start of uni 20.. Really enjoyed at first but majorlees ego became too big. and i moved on to unknown [...] then Dth RoW and finally to RUM
was that the question?? explain ur life in uni20?? NO IT WASNT
Then that can be the question now, how about your life in u20?
I guessed the next question.. sorry grade
No worries, so Ninurta?
...Some minutes pass...
You think he's gone to get another beer?
i really dont know.. nor care
Cold, so very cold.
no, im back, im on my 8th, go on
¬_¬
As I said, give us the low down on your u20 life since Yakuza jumped the gun a bit.
Well i must admit that n3rg4l taught me everything about ogame, he taught me how to play and fleetsave. i have been in many allies, OTW, D.A, S I N, ..., RUM

Righty ho, so when would say you got really integrated into the u20 community?
since day one most likely.. i have always had my say.. and was and still not afraid of any player.
Since the start. my sense of humour stands out, besides my exceptional gameplay
So what do you think made you so popular as u20's very own local twins?
our skill
I dont think were popular tbh
after my comments i think most ppl hate me
Well you're certainly loved and hated alike, which do you think there is more of though?
hmmm well.. its hard to say, I think more people dislike Charlie though
i like to be hated, but loved by few, including my bro

Apart from your reputation as the twins, you're also notorious drunkards, as is most of the players in RUM, why did you start RUM?
Tom started it, so he can answer
Well.. me and pokl were chatting and alot of the members of corsairs were leaving to FEAR (one of the many alliance hunter and hubsch made lol) and so we thought we would invite some friends from other alliances to make an alliance to represent what were like in RL.. and were all drunkards.. and i like sailor jerrys RUM
So that explains the name then.
i dont like sailor jerry's, i just felt sorry for Yakuza
LoL. ^^ So what would you say are your key moments are in universe 20, individually and together?
well.. i just enjoyed making friends and having awesome mass chats. Making big hits is also nice.
My top 10 against melo and my solo biggest hit against Klotz
Ninurta[RUM] & SMERSH[Feral] & Uffers[RUM] -vs- melo[BLK EGLZ] (TD: ~909M)
Ninurta[RUM] -vs- Dark Klotz[Dth RoW] (TD: ~221M)
Together.. we havent done a hit together i dont think
and also making friends with many ppl, and late night chats
No memorable hits or fails for you then Tom?
i seemed to be quite unlucky at the start.. i would perfectly fleetsave.. then one day i would get drunk and screw up a fs.. and i would subsequently lose my fleet
its funny
OV3RC1OCK3D got me first off.. then guess who last year, other hofs on me have been tiny or just a little cock up by me
OV3RC1OCK3D [LPNW] Vs Yakuza [...]
all hofs against me have been tiny, luckily. tomhel the greatest player ever never got my fleet :!
Haha, something to be proud of there. ^^
a hof that i was most proud of.. im trying to think here, so many of them
lol, ur top 10 maybe
Yakuza[RUM] & Rubberduck[Evil] & Pokl[RUM] -vs- Syriusz[AquilaPL] (TD: ~969M)
Charlie was on the ball with his, he must have been getting ready since earlier.
no offence.. but probably the one on h1ppie
lol
i always wanted to get h1ppies fleet.. and sat and watched for ages.. then one day it was sitting there and i got it with giggsy or chips .. cant remember my top 10 was good.. rubber being a pussy
i found that top 10 btw
I'm sure you did. So what are your favourite moments of u20 so far?
Other than being friends with u grade, hmmmmm, probably hitting rank 1 account for a small hof, that was goooood
favourite moment :/ hmmmm, probably all of the banter/flaming
Well you both do it well.
thank you for the compliment grade
i try my best

Now then, RUM have acquired quite some coverage in recent GNN reports for declaring war on the deadly duo of EviL and Dth RoW, what are your feelings on those wars, are they what you wanted or what you expected?
Yes, we wanteds to prove ourselves, and i think we have done well, i mean my fleet is still living and dakilla has left so im happy
Well.. thought we may get some fleets being sent at us. but other than my screw up nothing has really happened. yea.. dakilla has gone.. it was like christmas day all over again.. but he was an awesome fleeter
Any future conquests in mind for RUM then?
Everyone tbh
*Notes the silent approval from Tom*
toms gone, typical
nothing.. its dying really.. everyone is getting bored.. hence all the people gone into vm
I know the feeling, so what about your own personal conquests, any goals or aims in u20?
to get a solo top for me, and also to do an acs with tom
[color=limegreen[i have no conquests[/color]
Because you are already that awesome?
no he aint, hes been ninja'd by mr v. so no
Nothing to say in your defence Tom?
he never does
He seems to have pulled another disappearing act.
sorry, talking to people
Short attention span, eh?
sorry, i have nothing in my defence.. i havent attacked anyone in 2 weeks
Haha fair enough, well I think this just about wraps up the interview, got any parting messages for the readers?
no.. thank you grade, im going to bed soon
Yea, I want Tomhel to return and get a top 10 hof, or any hellas player infact, they talk the talk. but i havent seen them walk the walk
¬_¬
[color=#26F]Parting on a flame, so like you Charlie. ^^ Well thanks for the time guys.

[color=red]np, I enjoyed the time spent talking to you. cheers[/color]

Jex Roselin interviews Delirium (U43) (November 4th, 2009)

Quote

Universe 43 - Growth Challenge Winner - Delirium

An Interview with Delirium

Delirium was the growth challenge winner of last months competition in universe 43, start from 90K points 2 months ago, which was in the mid 900 ranks, he was making 30K points a week even from there.
He is now rank 288, with 290K points in 2 months, not half bad.

So who is Delirium? one of the experienced low ranks storming himself towards a rightful position.
We couldn't tell until recently, but he now leaves a clue in his alliance name. I managed to grab hold of him ingame and get a talk going about him and how he plays.

Jex: Hey Delirium, glad I could catch you, thanks for doing the Q&A, shame it wasn't on msn, I think that would have been easier.
Delirium: Hey Jex, I wasn't expecting this kind of Q&A I must admit, but its quite interesting.

Jex: Well lets jump right too it, If you don't want something in the report once you've written it, just send me another message and i'll edit it out.
Soooo, a/s/l and and tell us a bit about yourself
Delirium: I'm a 34; Male; from Turkey.
im an mech. engineer but working as a marketing manager for a steel mill but due to some moron workers and greedy bosses and also with the helps of stupid legislation, there was a stike and lock-out going on in the company and i had to sit my butt at home for eight months with no pay or no rights. so guess that would be the answer for your 2nd question, i wouldnt say that rl life treates me the best ever. now im back at work but i have lost all my fate in working or being a proffessional, all i think is revenge :))

now lets go back to the ingame questions

Now you've been growing very fast, almost 20K extra in 3 weeks than the next 100 ranks above you,
do you have any secret tactics/strategies to help you achieve this?
Delirium: i dont have a secret, guess its just because i know this game very well and playing it for i dunno how long, and u know, when u have time to waste, farming is just enough to get those points.

Whats your style?
Delirium: i was a fleeter when i first quit on top about 1.5 years ago, now since i lost my appetite and satisfied with the early achievements, i am just hanging around, and trying to get a feeling about being a turtle as an ex-turtle cracker

Is there experience from other universes you've brought here?
have there been any landmark points ingame you've been proud of?
Delirium: you could search in the board "morgoth of noname" if you are interested, thats me. just didnt want to use the same nickname cause morgoth was a good and dedicated fleeter but hes gone long ago with proud deliriım just spends time here and doesnt know for how long he'll be around. Let me give you the link of one of morgoth's cr's b4 retirement.
Jex: Thats sounds a bit like what I do too

Delirium: morgoth & B L a C k & madenci [Noname] --vs-- ekinox[] TD-(484.989.000
There is more crs posted but i dont wanna bother u with them, u could just search them in the board if u want to.

what do you think of this new redesign?
Delirium: Oh and the new skin, god it sucks and it could definitely be a reason to quit forever.

do you have any objectives ingame?
Delirium: This is Delirium, not Morgoth

Honestly, i am suprised someone noticed a 500+ ranked player's progression and that shows u are one of those people who likes to get into details, which I think is admirable.

nice to meet you
Jex: you too, and thankyou

Deadman Walking interviews Galactus (U31) (January 10th, 2010)

Uni 31 Interview with Galactus

Interview with NC Veng leader Galactus

LOOK! i managed to do what Marky antony and Pope failed to do interview G, btw i dont want anyone asking me " Deadsy did you only interview him cus hes in your ally", well no i didnt ok? This is just an interview is doesnt mean im up him ass like sh- ....or readie....or pyro....apache if he wasnt in vm.
Note:I hoping to do one more interview,before i start to write the Jan report.

Deadman = Red
Galactus = Blue

Ohai thar Galactus thanks for accepting the interview.
For you Deadsypoo, anything!

First off, is there any particular story behind the name Galactus?Because for a old man that just sounds kinda pedobear-ish.
Figures that is where you would begin. Actually there is a story behind the name. In the Marvel Universe Galactus is known to exist beyond the prvue of all good and evil, with his siblings Death and Eternity, they serve to keep the universe going. As I play for profit only it seemed very apripo.

Let’s start with the obvious, tell me a bit about yourself in real life.What do you do for fun? Hobbies etc?
In real life my hobbies are hunting, and firearms. For fun I like to go our shooting, camping and or a bit of fishing but I get bored easily
I guess it would be a bad idea to rob you
Most definitely. You could find yourself duct taped to a tree and covered in honey being eaten by insects one of my favorite ways to dispose of trespassers
i think, you should move out of the woods and back to New York you crazy
I sorta miss NY but in the woods no one can hear you scream
I think you watch to many horror movies :/
Nah, not at all, I didnt mention using a chainsaw or anything

Any music or food you like?
I love music with lyrics that make sense, the genre is not as crytical,as to food, ethnic food is my favorite, I love to try new food from everywhere. "Never cook and play oGame though" <<<< someone warned me of that

Well your an old man how about to tell me your REAL age and what you do for a living ?
I am old, and that's all you get. As to a living, I am in the corporate liquidation business.
Is that just a fancy word for invoice collection?
No,not all. Basically we buy distressed inventories. Say a company has product they can't sell, or a company is going out of business, we would buy the inventory they have at a percentage of the value.It then falls upon us to dispose of the inventory. Usually by resale at a profit.
Wait wait wait, if they couldnt sell it, what makes you think that you can?
We have avenues to move product that is outside the standard mainstream. We also buy it at drastically reduced costs, so it is easier for us to sell it then for them. But like anything else it is always a gamble, and sometimes we find ourselves with some tough selling product.There are alwways companys forced to raise cash that have to sell, and can't sell it any other way.

Mhm well I've stopped caring so lets move onto ogame.When did you first start playing ogame?
Good cause you were boring the hell outta me I don't actually know when I started It had to be about 5 months before NCV though and that was 2007-11-28 23:35:22

When did you notice that you were addicted to teh "Ocrack".Dont try and say that your not either.
I'm not addicted
I guess you didnt you read the LATTER part of the question
Nope I can stop anytime though,so I cant be addicted
In that case, stop now and give me your account
If I gave you my account you'd just waste it
No i wouldnt, im not shin :/
Hahahha.Ok, well I like the game, and I like to play it In the begining I really hated how slow it was and then as it got rolling I liked it

What made you become a GO?
I really wanted to help people
Ok then, so give me a brief history of your life in universe 31(From you starting to where you are now just sum up your experience of uni 31 so far. And when i say brief i MEAN brief i know how u old pension pushers like to ramble along about meaningless crap)
My Uni 31 experience is rather simple, I play to be rank #1, that is the only reason I play, and my sigular goal. Hope that was short enough even for you, and your short attention span.And who you calling a pension pusher? I work for aliving!!
Sure..you do, buying crap and then selling it, sounds more like a door to door salesman
Trust me (as I have done door to door when I was younger) it is nothing like that thank heaven

So how were the first few months? did you advance fairly quickly?or slow like a turtle
the first few months were so boring I hated the game so much. I started on a dare from Frag when he told me there was no way I could get Grav. So my start was just to get Grav and the say "Ha!" and quit.

What's your best/worst moment in ogame so far?
Best moment was finding my boy in G7 with 80kk of free res. Worst moment was almost being perma banned for bug using.

Guess you updated your bot just in time eh?
I had no bot you dirty dog

Well your a fleeter so lets start on that,Im assuming that you've always been a fleeter?
I don't know about being a fleeter...... I don't know that I fit any of the preset categories people like to use. I have a fleet, but my account is more than just fleet. I am zEnoGamer
wtf is an zEnoGamer?
I do my best to play evenly, hence Zen, I am not only fleet, or only mines, or only teks, I play a balanced overall game imho.
Yeh sure Nub bcs and fodder is even (Roll)
Well, people see what they want to see, I can't help that. Sometimes I don't show it all

Well what got you 'Fleeting'?
I needed resources which led to building some fleet originally. Then people in the alliance needed help and so I started building a bigger fleet, and then it went from there.

You say that you only attack for profit but has their ever been a time or a player (if so then name them plz) that has made you say " F the profit im attacking!"?
I'm sure I have attacked a few people for less than profitable reasons. It's a rarity for me but I've done it. No one really stands out atm as far as names go though.

Well we all know your the crap, i mean Great leader of Nc Veng, what made you create Veng?
The core group of NCV were all friends playing a different game, when the admin their had a brain fart and starting enforcing rules however he pleased and just randomly screwing people over. We all decided we were gonna leave the game together and I formed NCV here so that we all had a new place to play as a group.
Im guessing that was WWMAD
That is correct, I didn't mention their name as I didn't want anyone getting them any free publicity.
never got to play it but i saw their homepage, and saw that if you paid you would get like free crap and thought well thats a fail and closed the tab
Yah after the upgrade they made it even worse. It was pretty awful prior, but it was still fun. then the update came and kablooey.The update is all about money and a failed game.

Did you ever think that NC Veng would get as large players and points wise as it is today?
I never really concerned myself much with being the number 1 alliance or with the points. We accepted people to play and have a good time, we did our best to get like minded people and just have some fun. I am pleased with the results.

Was accepting my application to join veng the best thing you've ever done?
I honestly don't have any idea how the hell you got into NCV and why the hell we let you stay. It's a mystery, wrapped in an enigma rolled in a riddle
OH WELL! im here now, you cant get rid of me
If it wa sup to me I would boot you out and farm you thank heavens for you some people actually do like you BUT I cant name them because they dont want people to know
alright alright you know 2

Moving on :/ Their was a time when you and apache well doing alot of acs hofs, was he your bff then?
My BFF, LOL, Apache is a cool guy, we have some stuff in common and so we team up whenever we can. Sadly he has spent alot of time in vaca recently.
And now that hes vm have you replaced him with readie again?, WHILE having shin fall in love with you?
Nah he can't ve replaced, he is still Apache, my friend. Readie is also a great guy, and a long time friend, and so of course I ACS with him whenever possible. As to Shin, what can I say, for some reason I like the guy, just as I like you, it doesn't always have to make sense. You can't help who you love and or who loves you. btw I hope you intend to correct the spelling here
I wont now

Anyway G Have you ever been crashed?
Off the record?
HELL NO! im joking,yeh sure
LOL I still refuse to answer on or off the record
Answer fool
pass thanks
Fine then! Is their anytime you have been worried at all when it comes to ogame?
worried?
weather its something happening in the ally to a certain member being attacked/bashed or your wife telling you shes going to delete your ogame account or anything like that
Well, I was worried I was gonna get setup to be crashed a while back. My wife constantly tells me she'll recall my fleet save after I go to sleep one night (which is why I sleep with one eye open), Reaper threatens to cut my cable. So yah I suppose there have been a few times, l0l

Ok then.You are married and you stay up late alot of the time, how the hell do explain something like that to your wife, i mean its like saying "Oh i'll be their soon honey...*2hours later* your still playing ogame, its sort of like your 15, has they ever been anything that has happened because your wife gets fed up or something.Cus i would just slap u and click delete on ur acct
My wife and I spend a lot of time together, she is not wanting for my company. There are times she wants to go somewhere and I am tied up but the same is true vice versa so most times we peacefully work it out (I fleet save and she stops yelling) [Deadman: I guess he has never heard of ear plugs]

Ok what did you think when the leaders of tppk got crashed?
I hate to see people lose a fleet like that, after all that hard work. I know first hand the time and effort it takes to build a fleet, maintain it, and keep it safe. It made me a bit queasy and sick to my stomach as I know it really could happen to anyone at any time, it is indeed the nature of the game.

Alright well you can probably tell i had actually ran out questions after the last question about nc veng was answered so i have one last one for you.Can i haz free rezy?
Is that really the question?
Yes I can ask another if you want such as do u like men?
Is that the best you can do for a last question? I expected better when I demanded you apply for this position
Oh ffs fine i'll think of a better one
I hoped you would be a good GNN reporter and have good questions! At least if there will be a last question warning make it a rocking good question!!!!Take your time now and come up with a winner
Ok i think i have one. Any their any players that have earned your respect in ogame, and any players that have lost yours?
ooo i a have another
Ok ask away I'll answer them both

I know that i've made a fair number of friends through ogame, can the same be said about you?
As to players that have earned my respect I would say there are quite a few. In no special order, there is Hayati- his continued growth, and holding of my desired rank never ceases to amaze me.Yigit- His timing skills, and overall fleeting, but mostly his perfection at timing makes him a great player.
being a helps too
Apache- Just a great overall guy, a wonderful fleeter, someone who is always up for anything and a good time.Well to the best of my knowledge Yigit has never cheated anyone.
I bet you say the same thing about cengz
I have heard rumors of things and stories but I have never seen any proof positive of anything he did.Well, I dont know cengz, and never had any interaction with him.I can only speak about people I know.I mean many have claimed Yigit has sped up his fleet, and yet no one has a screen shot of this or can prove it, so what can be said?
I mean I know of no way to speed up a fleet, nor does any fleeter or GO, SGO or GA that I know or that I am aware of. So if he is cheating he must know something no one else knows......I think it is more a case of sour grapes than cheating.

Ok then alot of players think you use merchant and offices...Well do you ?
I don't merchant as a rule, and I don't usually use officers though I have done both with DM that I get from time to time.
I have met and made a ton of friends here in 31 above and beyond the original guys we brought here. I consider them friends and certainly hope they feel the same way about me as well.So many people here havemy respect that it would be hard to really name them all.Koshi has some mad spotting skills, he finds stuff I haven't seen despite my probing the same places,Those that have lost my respect really aren't worth naming as I don't like to say bad things about people if I can avoid it.

Ok then G, thanks for your time It was certainly hard to get you here, u busy old fool you can go back to living in the woods like a old pedo bear while duck taping trespassers to trees
Well it was alotta fun being interviewed by you. I thought you would do a good job as a GNN reporter and it looks like I was right! Hey all joking aside, I think you should once and for all put an end to this Yigit cheating rumor.I would like to know if he does speedup his fleet how the hell he does it, and if not what he is doing that make people think he cheats.I think it is bad for the Uni overall to feel like we have a cheater in our midst. And you as the GNN reporter should take it upon yourself to sniff it out and find the story!!!

^^^G's ending statement...happy now*snip* ?
*Rest has been removed, afterall it was only talk about tppk, :censored: and moonstar*

Cassandra's Life as a Board Admin Part II (February 5th, 2010)

Quote

The daily Life of a BA - a not so serious stroll through my soul part II

Dear Players,

a few years ago I posted a report from my point of view (See here for further information). Now, a lot has changed, not only in Ogame, but also in the way of how my life is wrapped around Ogame - or is it the other way round?

Back then, I had plenty of time daily to check everything alone. Like in all business, success means growth - and the board has grown a lot. I didn't grow more arms though, nor did I find the secret to clone myself. So all in all, we are 5 BAs now who share the workload.

This means - we have to actually talk to each other to get stuff done. Some decisions are made alone (like bans), but a lot of other stuff needs discussion. Instead of going on forums and do all alone, I luckily find nowadays a lot already done so I can turn to other stuff - like writing GNN reports.

What's now with myself? I am not a student anymore - I work, I live with my boyfriend in our own apartment, I am writing my Phd, So - I do not start my days with the computer staring at me anymore. The computer is mostly neglected during mornings and maybe even during the afternoon. I usually switch it on in the evening to find myself into everything I like - quarrels, bans, problems... Ah, the positive things! Of course, there is still the fact that I am able to help others, can talk to people I like and move things around Ogame. I admit though that I spend less time here than I used to. Might be healthier anyway.

It is important though that I get my daily dose of whipping people - I grew rather fond of this idea.

On a free day, I am sometimes still on my old trails - coming on early, seeing to look through PMs, Emails, Tickets, posts and threads. I check on applications and stalk Smods and Mods a bit. I am stalked back though now by the other BAs and the CoMa.

The funny thing is, being Ogame BA is far from a routine because every day brings something new to give me some grey hairs. Yay for a new board software with a few bugs.

So - daily routine with Ogame is something that just doesn't happen.

Huy Ben-Amon interviews Ofiris (U4) (May 4th, 2010)

Uni4 GNN Interview with Ofiris, a.k.a. Ofi's Guide to Life, the Universe and Everything

Well, ladies and gents, my very first GNN report, dated December '09, ended something like this:

Unfortunately, we had to cut this interview short, due to the reporter passing out. But Ofiris has been kind enough to reschedule for a later date, after I find a solid enough hard hat.

I am darned happy to announce that the hard hat has been found (though, it seems, it wasn't necessary this time around) and Ofiris and the Uni4 GNN team sat down for a few bottles and a nice lil' (ok, ok, not so little, I mean, really, what do you expect of me, telegrams?) conversation.

Enjoy, I know I did.

Interview date: April 28th 2010.

Quote * Now talking in #ossamabinladenhasfartypants

<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Hey ofiris. Gimme a sec to get everybody in here and we'll get this thing rolling.
<Ofiris> Ok cool, i'll be on msn, so nudge me there.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> It'll only be a sec.
<Ofiris> Ok. Hmm i wonder who u bringing in :>

* Vlad_Dracul has joined #ossamabinladenhasfartypants

<Ofiris> Any enemies ?
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Quite possibly
<Ofiris> Good

* Cthulhu has joined #ossamabinladenhasfartypants

<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Hmm, yeah, seems Teotl can't make it, his mommy grounded him, so we'll have to do this without him. Ofiris, this is Cthulhu and Vlad Dracul, they'll be helping me conduct this interview today, and are also here for security reasons (just like those restraints there, nothing personal, you see :P)
<Cthulhu> Hi Ofiris, nice to see you
<Vlad_Dracul> Sup
<Ofiris> Hello

Life

<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Now, Ofiris, to break the ice a lil' bit, tell us a little something about yourself. Spare no details, especially the embarrassing ones.
<Vlad_Dracul> asl pls ^^
<Ofiris> Ofir, 24 from Israel (not many Israelis in uni 4, btw), currently a student, goes along with being a miner.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> What do you study? If you say geology I'm'a smack you
<Ofiris> Computer Engineering in the Hebrew University
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Nice! So that would basically mean you're a computer geek, like 90% of the ogame population. Welcome to a very elite club :P
<Ofiris> Well...
<Vlad_Dracul> Quick: Star Wars vs Star Trek... which do you choose?
<Ofiris> No idea really.
<@Cthulhu> Impostor!
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> You're no geek
<Ofiris> Inter milan. Thats my answer for that

* @Huy_Ben-Amon slaps Ofiris around a bit with Barcelona's whole line-up

<Ofiris> 1 - 2 tonight, and Inter goes to the finals.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Where Bayern trumps it something awful.
<Ofiris> Bayern would have more chance as its one game
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> And because they're awesome :P. So, we gather that you're quite the football fan. And I do say football, like god intended, not soccer...
<Ofiris> Soccer is for ogame.us
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Actually, there's a lot of heathens calling it soccer in here as well
<Ofiris> Well, in my opinion no one can be surprised from any result today
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Absolutely. Not at this level, anyway.
<Ofiris> yes

<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Ever played football professionally, or just a fan?
<Ofiris> Used to play basketball and train MMA till I got injured in the army. So just a fan. And addicted to ogame mining.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Definitely not a geek though. MMA, army training... I take it it was the mandatory 6 months/1 year whatever army stint, or tried to make it a profession?
<Ofiris> Yes, its mandatory for most Israelis. Make it 3 years.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Three years! That is a lot... But understandable, given the region.
<Ofiris> Yeah, I chose not to continue
<Vlad_Dracul> Here, make me a gun out of this duct tape, ballpoint pen and candy wrapper
...
...
<Vlad_Dracul> Thanks. Teeheehee.

<Ofiris> By the way, the long weeks I've been in the army, I had to fleetsave during the whole week. And always when I was forced to stay, I would get crashed.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> That does explain the whole mining gig. So, you've basically been mining all your ogame career?
<Ofiris> Hell no. I had few famous hits in universe 4. (one sec I'll check the link). one of them is the famous "blind phalanx" ninja on TBX. TBX [FITAWCL] vs Ofiris [Samsara] Do you remember TBX ?
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Nope. Before my time. I only joined this uni 16 months ago. Speaking of which, how long have you been playing exactly?
<Ofiris> Hmm. Exactly, let me think one moment. About 2-3 months after the uni started
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> which would mean, almost 5 years
<Ofiris> I think it was during 2005, maybe october
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> you're one of the oldest in here, then
<Ofiris> yea, a bit after brandon i think
* @Huy_Ben-Amon bows down

<@Huy_Ben-Amon> So, you started as a fleeter, then, back in the trial-and-error days of the uni?
<Ofiris> Oh yes, lol. I'm one of the people who had storages on moons. And fusion 16.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Eeew... If anyone asks, I don't know you, ok? :P
<Ofiris> I think I destroyed buildings worth of hundreds of thousands of points. I had planets with 150 fields etc
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> And still, despite all these setbacks, you're in the top 10, and climbing steadily. What's your secret?

<Ofiris> Well, the secret is to play fair, be aggressive when needed, team play is important, i.e. jrongish case, plex etc... and of course, when mining, consider ratios. And learn from mistakes. Also, I think my bet on going for metal buildings made getting into the top 10 easy.

<@Huy_Ben-Amon> so that's your secret!
<Ofiris> Yes, one of them, I always liked the metal. Back then the price of metal was going up from 1:2:3 to 1:1:2. But back then, skill was something, you could not buy officers and merchants and stuff.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> So, I take it you plan your builds well ahead? So as to know exactly what you need and when to get it? This is, ofc, a fleeter asking, so I'm absolutely clueless as to what mining actually implies. I just know you guys sell me deut. The rest of the process is probably leprechauns in a sweatshop, for all I know.
<Ofiris> Oh yes, a lot of patience needed of course, but that's not a problem, cause I don't have time to raid/fleet etc.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Never?
<Ofiris> Never. I haven't attacked anyone in 3 years, maybe.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> I'd go nuts with boredom like that
<Ofiris> Yes, its not the most fun, but, I do IPM people. I sent roughly about 5000 ipms.
* Vlad_Dracul faints

<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Hold on, Vlad's having a seizure. Vlad, you ok? Why you looking so pale? Vlad? VLAD!
<Vlad_Dracul> He... he IPM'd me!
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> What? Now?
<Vlad_Dracul> No, like a year ago, but still, he IPM'd me! I probed him and he probed back, only with nukes instead of probes!
<Ofiris> whats your ingame now vlad?
* Vlad_Dracul shudders
<Ofiris> Yeah thats my style. Did I send you resources with the nukes Vlad ?
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> It sure does seem to be the trademark Ofiris move, that one
<Vlad_Dracul> The res you sent later, on a different IPM raid :P. The first time, you were just a meanie
<Ofiris> Oh, yeah. I usually, when I get spied, send IPMS. And sometimes I send resources to the victim

The Universe

<@Huy_Ben-Amon> So, what got you started on this whole IPM path, then?
<Ofiris> Well, I'll tell you what. I always liked the option. But never initialized it. One day, Ozorg my mate from lower g1 told me he probed someone's g5. The guy he probed, just right after the probing, sent about 400 ipms, all over ozorg's planets, v.moded and deleted his account. And never came back. I mean, that's inspiring, the guy gets scanned, what does he do ? IPM the whole uni and deletes account. So I do the same just without the deleting.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Obviously, lol
<Ofiris> Still makes me laugh when I hear it, lol. Two weeks ago, I was attacked by a MOTU player.
<Cthulhu> Why was I not informed?!
<Ofiris> Well, I logged in, and saw red fleet coming. Then he recalled.
<Cthulhu> Oh. Bad move nonetheless, launching at you. Vlad learned that lesson the hard way. ^^
<Ofiris> So I decided to use IPMs, even though he recalled. I started to IPM, I know there are a lot of MOTUs in g1, so I sent about 200 ipms, then he sent me a message he got the coords wrong, lol. The IPMs were in the air, so I could not recall.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Haha, now that's a mistake he won't be doing twice. Who was it?
<Ofiris> I'll tell you, I remember the coords. Neuromancer99, I think.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Oh. Fresh out of v-mode, too, poor neuro.
<Ofiris> Yup. Oh yes, thats the guy.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Well, not much to be done there, really. If anything, it was educational, lol. Now, you mentioned jrongish earlier. Was that one of the highlights of your IPM career? And if not, which was?
<Ofiris> Oh yes, that defo was one of my highlights. JRongish vs [Samsara] Ofiris | TD : 380 M. That added to the damage, I still have that destroyer.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> looool. That one must have hurt.
<Ofiris> Oh yes. He was bragging about his defenses. I never liked turtles, the OGP way, so I offered ULDK my help, and we coordinated the IPM attack. Very good teamwork, shame that the ULDK are not around.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> some of them still live :D. Albeit in different alliances. And you guys fired what, 5000 IPMs total? I don't recall the actual figure
<Ofiris> Yes, there is a post about it, in the GNN
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Well, I was just reading it a couple of hours earlier, tbh. I did my homework :P. Here it is: The day the IPMs came...
<Ofiris> Well done :), u liked it ?
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Hell yes! Now that was something worth being around for. The coordination was brilliant.
<Cthulhu> Too bad you guys didn't get a chance to finish the job, though. Would have been something truly spectacular. Not that it already wasn't
<Ofiris> One sec Cthulhu, getting a drink
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> On that note, I desperately need a smoke. 5 minute break? ;)
<Ofiris> Ok 5 minutes break
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> perfect :D

Cue in commercials, please.

<@Huy_Ben-Amon> back
<Vlad_Dracul> me too
<Cthulhu> me three
<Ofiris> :> I'm explaining to my roommate what ogame is, they wanted to eat so I told them I'm in the middle of an interview
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> haha, yeah, that does tend to get awkward. Telling outsiders about ogame is akin to contacting an alien race, isn't it?
<Ofiris> Oh yes
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Speaking of which, do you have many RL friends playing it?
<Ofiris> BaReTa. He was one of the greatest players to have played in this uni. I also have Tital, my cousin, he plays in uni 35 or something. Capella maybe. BaReTa was old school. Before all the galaxy tools etc.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> And he was also responsible for the biggest trade in the uni, am I right? A trade that you facilitated.
<Ofiris> Oh yes.
<Vlad_Dracul> Tell us a lil' bit about that, will you?
<Ofiris> Back then BaReTa had over 100 mil deuterium. It was just after he stopped raiding and fleet crashing. I had this information, BaReTa and GMB were ranked above me, I was supplying deut for GmB back then, and I wanted to help them both. So I was the middle man. Got me a small commission, too. 1-2%
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> nice!
<Ofiris> that's it my roommate's gone. Goes to smoke. So now im 110% here. :>
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> :D
<Ofiris> sorry
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> no probs
<Ofiris> whats Vlad_Dracul ingame name please
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> He doesn't play anymore. Nowadays, he's just a voice in my head, telling me things. Quite a pal, too. Him, Cthulhu and Teotl, my best buds ever. People say they're imaginary, but I say people are clueless. And they help me write the GNN stuff.
<Ofiris> oh damn. Oops
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> ahahahaha!

<Ofiris> I'm sorry. I could not resist
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> ^^
<Ofiris>You see, one of my goals in ogame is to have ability to send IPMs quicker than anyone. I hold a nanite 7 with a silo at level 10 in my main IPMing colony. With a robotic factory level 16. 6 seconds per ABM, allows me to handle multiple attacks. And always had resources in queue just in case.This planet is located near lots of players from different alliances, so even if someone scans me in another galaxy, I use this planet as my main IPMing device

Everything

<Ofiris> By the way, BaReTa. Top 01 BaReTa [Samsara] vs Soulburner [ENVY] (6.962.850.000) Imo, it's one of the greatest hits ever in .org
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> yup. I wet my pants when I saw that one. I wasn't in uni4 back then, but some friends showed it to me. My god
<Ofiris> Yes it was top .org for long time. We also took a big portion of the DF. Most of it. Soulburner tried to hit me,Tital and Bareta in lower g1. He got a colony in the 1:80 area. He tried to exploit bareta's buddylist, they were buddies long time ago. Eventually, that's what made him go down. It was a well coordinated hit, have to dedicate it once again to Rogean, of course. Then Plex took this account
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> And screwed the pooch...
<Ofiris> And that was a different story. They were unstoppable
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> He tried to hit everybody in the uni, and almost succeeded, too.
<Ofiris> You mean, they tried
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> True ^^
<Ofiris> They were skilled, not only cheats, I wonder if the duplication occurs in the boards as well. They took the cheating to another level.
The plexs were growing almost as quick as Fishtremble. He was also admired uni 4 player, when I were top 100, he was about 400, passed me in a month.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Another legend. Oh, and speaking of which, who's your all time uni4 favorite player?
<Ofiris> Very good question. Can't be biased and say bareta/tital, two real life brothers, can I mention more than one ?
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Sure. Make a top 3, let's say, of all time players, and then your fav player still active.
<Ofiris> Well, from the past I would say warduke, fishtremble and hmmm... well, I'll leave the 3rd place to all the good old players such as BelialNZ, JCH, ozorg, Kergillian, members of NH, freebeer and old samsara. And currently playing is easier. Brandon, Rogean and 3rd place is for Finch, Poptart (learned a lot from him), REVO. Important to mention kriz, altough we dont speak a lot. Before he got crashed few months ago, he and me were always sharing same ranks. Once he'd be higher, then it was me He also crashed me back then. Very good hit. He started his account from scratch as me and brandon. And although he was in ENVY, he never gave his account to someone else or never ruined accounts built by other players, very good players.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> So you're not a big fan of account trades and the likes
<Ofiris> and I'd like to mention king petrovich, if he sees this message, if u come back to uni 4, I donate 20 mil resources to lower ranked players. Yes, not a big fan

* Cthulhu weeps
<Cthulhu> but... but... I took over this account, too
<Ofiris> well, there are some who took very small accounts , and made them top 10, thats very nice, but most of the traders hmm, thats just not it. Well, today the uni is screwed up anyways, so it doesnt really matter who takes what, merchanting
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> What's your take on that, btw? How long til we pull the plug? We're down to like 600 players. A year ago, it was 1500.
<Ofiris> I belive the only solution is to combine two unis, lets say 3 and 4, on one server. It's not a problem, coords should look lik 1:1:60:4 for example. Calculation of fleet times should be the same as before, and thats all.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Oh, I agree, but do you really think GameForge would actually do that?
<Ofiris> No. Do you?
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Niet. Not happening. Besides, it's probably not in their best interest, especially with the efforts it would take for the merger.
<Ofiris> Well, they want to make money, and it's ok I guess. It's not a big effort in my opinion, if the code is well written, and I bet it is, because the game is in high level. But why would they? New universes are more incoming, $$$ wise. If I were paying for anything in ogame, is to get the merger.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> So you'd actually be ok with that? Paying a fee to port your account to a merger uni? Cause, personally, I like the idea
<Ofiris> Small ammount of money to get a nicer game, yes. Well, u can make it top 4 universes, there will be action again, altough I had to admit that uni 1 crazy hit made me jelous. Very good hit, I was impressed, I've seen lots of hits in .org, we had few records, but ive never seen such hit.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> DanCake sure left the place in style. Took three separate Top10s to kill it.
<Ofiris> I would say he might be the greatest strategist ever. I always like to read his opinions about mining. Pro minings. He likes the metal mines like me. Your metal arrived btw :> I will use it for my last metal mine for this year maybe.
Next level Requirements: Metal: 294.862.195 Crystal: 73.715.548

* @Huy_Ben-Amon faints
<Ofiris> I do have patience but.. that's just two much hassle. To save it etc, so i'll go back to deut mines for a bit
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> I don't think any of your deut buyers will complain, tbh
<Ofiris> My favourite buyer is Rogean, who is in v.mode, the rest REVO, I sell at 2:1:1 and always like to add extra.
<Cthulhu> And we wuv you for it.
<Ofiris> Except when I'm sending to higher ranked players, which does not occur a lot. Shame IPMs cant hold deuter. It would be a quick solution, I might try to get it into the suggestion boards. But even if they will accept it, no one will ever implement it
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> that would be fun, though
<Ofiris> by the way lookin now in my profile in the boards. I'm registered since sep 2005. So I probably started arround july 2005. Wow, so long ... I can't even remember
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> ^^ old timer.
Oh, yeah, now that you said who your fav players are, who's your least favorite? Past and present. And why?
<Ofiris> hard question, but I guess I would answer plex. Not that I dislike them in real life, I dont know them, but the style, that was just awful. Getting this account dumped... And present, hmm. I dont know, but I would say the chicken merge of OP and TENJIN screwed up this universe back then. Its like in uni 1 instead of making this top hit, they would all go into the same alliance and raid the lower ranked boys, till they leave the dead uni.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> yeah. ok, so just a couple of more questions and we'll wrap it up, the game starts in an hour and a bit, and I don't want to keep you. So, basically, how do you see the uni in about 6 months? The uni and the top 10.
<Ofiris> ok top 10 - felix , brandon, zhurks, finch, ofiris, RP, gmb, poptart, dean, ArcticMonkey. I hope RoguePrince and Arctic Monkey will be back. The uni will have 400 players, probably.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> Oh, so there will still be one, eh? You're optimistic
<Ofiris> As long as there's merchanters arround, yes. They pay for the servers. There is an assumption some of them have unlimited dark matter. So on one hand they pay for the server, and on the other hand... exploiting the $ is bad.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> But it would be really sad if merchanting would be the only thing to keep this uni alive
<Ofiris> Oh yes, what a paradox..
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> yup, that's us, the paradox uni. So, Ofi, any last words for the readers?
Um, not that kind of last words, lol, pay no heed to the knives, really, they're just props.
<Ofiris> lets do that thing ... I will type a //say $rand(1,300). It will pick a number. Then a number from 1 to 15, and I will ipm this colony and send resources to it.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> ahahaha. ok, I'm game.
...
...
...
<Ofiris> 33.
now 1 to 15
...
...
...
<Ofiris> 8. Well, our winner is Invictus. Sent him 7 mil resources as well with 10 ipms. When it comes to IPMS, I'm blind. Darn, if I could I would send them on myself. Here, I'll show u I am ipm blind :>
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> ^^
* Ofiris tabbing to fire fox

<Ofiris> http://ogame.gamestats.org/?la…ulhu&submit=Suchen&post=1
<@Huy_Ben-Amon>Haha

<Ofiris> lol during the interview I added another 50-70 ipms to the record, and sent about 15 mil res to random people.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon>Well, we're definitely scheduling another interview for when you break 10.000 IPMs. Hopefully, it's soon. :D
Alright, Ofir, thank you for your time, and for a delightful interview. Be sure to pick up a copy from your favorite news stand tomorrow.
<Ofiris> It was a pleasure.
<@Huy_Ben-Amon> The pleasure was all ours. Cheers!
<Cthulhu>See ya, Ofi!

Pinky Interview (July 5th, 2013)

Spidey News Network Interview #01: pinky

I have considered doing interviews since my early days playing OGame as the GNN concept was very interesting to me. Now I have many years of experience in the game, knowledge about the past, and a genuine interest in learning about the people who have played this game so diligently over the years. If ever there was a time for me to make this idea a reality, it is now!

There is something about OGame that is tough to leave behind. I left for a two year period and yet here I am back again. The ups and downs throughout the over eight years of .orgs existence could easily fill its own set of encyclopedias. Obviously I can't cover every bit of information that was ever significant to every person who has ever played the game but I am determined to hit as many of the highlights as I can.

I have been lucky enough, and feel very honored, that my first interview is with a player that I have been interested in knowing more about for a long time now. He has been perched at the top of Universe 1 ever since the Great Merge and shows no signs of letting up. Below I take a brief moment to try to get to know the person behind the account before we delve into his n00bish experiences, his jump from the Greek to the English servers, how he handled the merge into Universe 1, and his greatest fleeting experience.

I present to you the #2 ranked player in .org Universe 1, TheGang's pinky!

KEY:
Spidey - The guy asking the questions
pinky - The person you're really here for

*insert common pleasantries here and commence interview!*

*ALSO NOTE: This was a very informal conversation so I have cleaned up, reworded, and formatted our interview into a version that is easier to read. I have made certain that any changes I made did not alter the meaning of what was said in any way. That said, enjoy the interview!*

Spidey: Lets go back before you even discovered this madness known as OGame, what were you doing with your life at the time?

pinky: I was a student at university.

Spidey: Who introduced you to OGame?

pinky: There was a girl at my university in my 4th year, her boyfriend was playing OGame and he dragged her into playing. Then she dragged my girlfriend (at the time) into it who built the "ginger" account at ogame.gr. My girlfriend didn't like it so she stopped after 10-15 Days and I took over the account.

Spidey: Aha! So you got trapped in a spider web lol

pinky: Hahaha..something like that

Spidey: Being the giant that you are today a lot of people likely forget that you were a n00b once upon a time too, would you mind sharing a few of your experiences from when you first started playing?

pinky: Well, I remember a few n00bish things I did. 1st time I got ninja'd it was a farming mission with all the ships I had (20-30 ships?? hahaha) and I didn't know what safety probe meant. Another time, when I had 80 battlecruisers, I lost 20 of them because I sent them to the wrong coords.

Spidey: We've all been there!

pinky: The first time I tried to play with the big boys I had 250 cruisers + 50 battleships ninja'd. From my anxiety I didn't notice the deut missing at the last scan. He had jumped fleet, I delayed, so he made a short fleetsave and recalled. Never saw the deut missing until it was too late.

Spidey: Ahh, one of the most important lessons in the game.

pinky: Yup

Spidey: For the people reading at home, what universes have you played in?

pinky: Actively only uni 1.gr (Greek) and uni 8.org (English). Then, of course, uni 1.org after the merge. I only played one active fleeter at a time though, I gave up fleeting in .gr when I came to .org.

Spidey: When you made the jump from the Greek servers to the English servers, what differences did you notice between the two?

pinky: Differences were chaotic for many reasons. First of all, .gr only has ACS universes and in .org I have only ever played non-ACS. Also in .gr I was playing during OGame's peak as a game, too many people were active. I had to start as a small fish and fight for my living.

In .org I came as an experienced player, I inherited a big account, and the universes weren't as active. Everything was easier for me, I admit, until the merge of course. Also in .gr almost everyone wants to become a fleeter and even miners help with targets, etc...alliances seem to cooperate much more than in .org.

Spidey: Don't I know it, most alliances here stay together based on not being crashed.

pinky: Exactly. In .gr we're more like friends just playing together. I think I would have stopped OGame long ago if it wasn't for my Greek alliance.

Spidey: Tell us a bit about your experience starting in Universe 8 and about how TheGang came to be.

pinky: Lets start with the easy part, TheGang. Back in October 2007 five people founded TheGang in .gr. I was member number six a couple of weeks later. So TheGang has been my tag for almost 6 years now

After a few months we took a couple more independent players and all of the members of my previous alliance, TUL, also joined us. My previous alliance were mostly miners (I was the only fleeter) and TheGang had 6 fleeters and 2 miners. TheGang became an alliance consisting of 20-30 people (depending on the time period) with a core of 5 - 10 fleeters. TheGang has grown to become - in my opinion - the best alliance in .gr.

Spidey: So was this balance of fleeters to miners intentional or did it just happen to work out that way?

pinky: It just happened in the beginning. We're friends above all, regardless of miner/fleeter, but it seems that it worked perfectly fine. Also, I don't know what your opinion of me as a fleeter is but believe me when I say that there have been 2-3 fleeters in TheGang that I haven't even dreamed of doing what they have done in OGame.

Of course our biggest "weapon" was our teamwork. There was hardly a single click we'd do in the game without the core of our fleeters knowing about it and declaring their opinion about it as well.

Spidey: Did TheGang become the #1 ranked alliance in U1 .gr?

pinky: Obviously but that isn't what counts, its our hits. Let me show you a few numbers...Before the merge 7/10 single top ten hits were ours and 5/10 acs. After the merge 6/10 single top ten hits were ours and 6/10 acs. In all, of those 40 hits, only 3 saw us on the wrong side (each being before the merge). One of them was a scan and go, the other two were ninjas.

One ninja was on a blind hit with acs defenses sent in advance (trap) and the second was on me! lol Totally my mistake, it was a scan and go. Target went into vacation mode and there was an acs defend. I should have recalled because I had seen activity on 2 people able to have sent acs defense (one of them actually did). Anyway, I lost 5k battleships + 10k battlecruisers that day. It hurt lol

Spidey: When you went from .gr to .org you formed a version of TheGang in U8, did you come into .org looking to utilize a particular strategy?

pinky: Naaaah, I didn't even plan on playing in .org. When I was ninja'd, akira (the original owner of my account who I knew from .gr) offered me the account so I took it. About a month before my ninja I was tired from OGame and fleetsaving, etc...I needed a break. When I got ninja'd and I had an offer of a big account in a non-acs universe I took the opportunity because I would "stop" playing without actually stopping playing. :p

You see, in uni 8 I didn't need to bother so much about fleetsaving, that's true, so it wasn't as tiring as .gr, it was more about a strategy.

Spidey: What rank was akira's account when you took it over?

pinky: It was already no. 1 in uni 8, had a 1 million point distance from no. 2, and was ranked no. 8 in all of .org. When the merge occurred the distance between my account and the no. 2 account was 13 million. :p

Spidey: So TheGang was already the dominant alliance in U8 when you joined?

pinky: I think TheGang of uni 8 was a single player alliance, or maybe two players? I don't remember. After a while I found an alliance of 3-4 people (all of them miners but one) and they joined me.

Spidey: When the Great Merge occurred and you ended up joining Universe 1, do you remember who the top 3 were after the merge? I'm assuming Graf Zahl and Eddie were two of them.

pinky: no. 1 was Graf Zahl with 52.2 million points. Both urza and Eddie followed (Eddie had 47.8 million points, urza I don't know - the thread doesn't have his uni 1 stats from before the merge). I was no. 4 with 46.8 million points and no 88 was no. 5 with 45.6 million points.

Spidey: This leads perfectly into my next question. When the merger with Universe 1 finally happened there were a lot of big fish in the sea like Eddie, no 88, urza, Graf Zahl, HogarStashni, Cyyoung, and naturally yourself (among many others). Was there ever a time when you were worried that one of these other legends from another universe would catch you?

pinky: Of course. After the merge I started playing OGame actively and very carefully again, especially since urza, Eddie, and no 88 were growing really fast. Graf never actually played, he went into vacation mode really quickly after he got farmed.

Spidey: For quite a long time Eddie had the largest fleet in Universe 1 post-merge, did he ever try to crash you?

pinky: Eddie couldn't crash me, he had too many RIPs, his fast ships wouldn't profit from me. I'm not sure but I think I could have profited off of him with my whole fleet if his RIPs weren't in the battle...at the beginning at least.

Spidey: At one time yourself and urza took hold of the entire Universe One top 10 and have held all of those places ever since, are you surprised at how well urza has done?

pinky: Not at all. Eddie and urza were the two players I expected to dominate the universe, from what I was seeing before the merge at least. I was surprised by no 88 though, he made a lot of nice hits while he was playing.

Spidey: I think no 88 surprised everyone. When he hit number one it was a shock and made him a big target. Of course we'll never know what could have come from that as he went into permanent vacation mode soon after.

My next question is one that I'm sure many people wonder about. How do you keep yourself motivated to continue growing and causing havoc in Universe 1 when so many others have bowed out?

pinky: The "secret" in OGame is setting goals. For some it is to reach a certain level of mines, for others it is to grow ranks, and for others it is to crash a specific someone. And that is what I do, I set goals, both short and long-term. That is how I stay motivated. Of course after so many years of playing there are days I don't even want to bother to make a single click but, in general, I do still like finding good profits.

Also I think someone shouldn't feel obligated to play because of their goals. I mean, if I don't want to play one day I simply won't. But goals are very important because otherwise you get very tired and eventually get sick of it.

Spidey: Do you have certain goals that are consistent or do they change based on the climate of the game?

pinky: Both lol...Consistent goals are goals that have to do with the account itself: what kind of fleet do I want to build, what level do I want my mines, research, etc...I set goal numbers and build the account towards those numbers. But I also have goals regarding what happens in the universe, if I want to catch someone for example.

Spidey: That makes perfect sense. Now my next question is one that personally interests me. Some might consider you to be one of the best players in .org history, tell us about a few of your fellow OGamers that you think are top caliber (past or present).

pinky: I have heard a few legendary names like dancake, aral, etc...but haven't actually watched them in action so I don't have an opinion on them.

From the people I've seen in .org, I think Eddie is the best every day hunter. That guy's 'military destroyed' grew on a daily basis and really fast.

Deneb seems to be a great hunter indeed, it doesn't take him much time to find someone's fleetsave. People say he's using too much Dark Matter but, even if that's true, he still climbs world ranking faster than anyone. And he's not the only one using Dark Matter, anyone can, yet he still grows faster than anyone else globally and that surely is impressive.

The best fleet-hunter I've met though, and the person with the best knowledge of the game's details, comes from .gr. That person is venthos. Its impossible to avoid getting crashed by him if he decides to take you down. I remember him watching a guy for one whole year!!!!

Spidey: Was venthos in your alliance or an enemy of yours?

pinky: In my alliance. Unfortunately he is tired of OGame now though. He hasn't played actively for 8-9 months now.

Spidey: Its too bad when the greats no longer wish to play but understandable.

pinky: Yeah, totally.

Spidey: Excuse my simple mindedness but I just thought of an obvious question I haven't asked yet! lol What was your greatest crash?

pinky: I think that my best moment was a hit that I didn't participate in...and I'm serious about it

One day an ally of ours got crashed (in .gr). We were lucky enough to see it shortly after the hit so we called our ally but he wouldn't answer, so we had a meeting with venthos on Skype (maybe it was MSN at the time, don't remember) and I had the idea of debris field watch and return recyclers.

We didn't know who did it (and there wasn't military destroyed rankings back then) so we saw activities in the area and we found out who it was. We then called the rest of our alliance's fleeters and each one was given a job to do. Two people debris field watched, I was doing simulations, then myself and one other guy tried to find out who was online and able to send acs defenses. We had to send an overkill with as many fast ships as possible so that we didn't give them the opportunity to prepare an acs defense. We also wanted to return the recyclers and only be 1 second behind so he wouldn't have the 1 second needed to jump gate.

In the end everything went as planned but until 15 minutes before the hit we were still searching for enemy fleets. Adrenaline couldn't get higher that day. This was maybe the best day in OGame because we weren't as experienced as we are now.

Spidey: That is amazing coordination indeed!

pinky: My best hit though was my most technical one. This was another hit where I worked with venthos and another fleeter. We devised our own strategy to take out someone looking to invade our system and did so with great success. Unfortunately everyone will have to use their imaginations for this one because I'm not ready to divulge this secret yet

Spidey: Ok, you big tease you, I guess we'll all just have to wait and see! haha

We're getting toward the end of our interview so I would just like to ask if there are any other stories you would like to share or maybe some words of wisdom to send us out with?

pinky: No other stories for now, only one last thing. I keep seeing people complaining about how they can't play in old universes with more experienced players with bigger accounts, etc. Two points:

1) EVERYONE makes mistakes...if you don't check, you won't find
2) Today's big accounts weren't always big, their owners just did a few things better than others and they grew faster...and maybe they were lucky too, for not being crashed the times they made a mistake. Its impossible to not make any mistakes ever, good players just make mistakes more rarely.

Spidey: Indeed, many top players now were the players that harassed the top players of the past.

pinky: Exactly. When I started OGame I was 3 months late in the universe. I was rank 1500. I had never heard of OGame before and also didn't have anyone to teach me for a few months. Then one year later I was rank 50. I got farmed, I got crashed, I got ninja'd, but I kept learning. OGame is a game of patience. The best thing we say in .gr is that OGame isn't a sprint, its a marathon. That's it!

Spidey: I think that is excellent advice that everyone would do well to pay attention to.

Well pinky, I have really enjoyed our chat and I thank you for agreeing to be my trial run for interviewing! haha

pinky: Haha no probs, goodnight

Spidey: You too

Cassandra Vandales Interview (Part One) (July 12th, 2013)

SNN Interview #02: Cassandra Vandales (Part One)

First, let me thank everyone for their feedback and kind words regarding my first interview. I am glad that so many people had the opportunity to learn about pinky and enjoyed the conversation. Just an aside, commenting is what lets me know people are reading and taking an interest so don't be afraid to chime in!

This week's interview is one that I actually did partially simultaneously with the pinky interview. However, unlike the pinky interview (where I planned out a good number of questions in advance), this interview was more informal and questions were asked as they came to me. Even so, I think the finished product turned out well and gives some interesting insight into someone that every player in .org should know.

Cassandra Vandales is one of the Board Administrators of OGame .org and one of the most recognizable faces in OGame .org. I was lucky enough to be able to speak to her over the course of two days and received so much content that I felt it would be too overwhelming to include it all in one week. This is why I have decided to split the interview into TWO parts! In Part One, Cass and I discuss why she decided to join OGame to begin with, the origins of JeB (including her take on the infamous situation that saw a major split occur within the alliance), the players she has most enjoyed watching over the years, her take on the introduction of 'pay to play' elements in the game (plus the one addition she would remove if she could), along with the occasional banter!

I hope you enjoy this interview and I am working diligently to score an interview with a player that has fallen a bit on the wayside as of late that I think everyone has wanted to know more about since the merge. If that doesn't happen in time, there is certainly no shortage of other great interview possibilities so stay tuned!

KEY:
Spidey - The guy asking the questions
Cass - A real girl

Spidey: You have been part of the .org OGame world since the very beginning, so much so that your name is essentially synonymous with the English universes, but before I get into your extensive OGame history let me ask a basic question. Before you discovered this crazy game, what were you doing?

Cass: I was at university, studying History, Prehistory and English, and due to a personal reason I was quite glad to have discovered the game. I also worked parttime in a little shop and drove to Austria frequently ^^

Spidey: Very cool! This leads to the obvious follow-up...how did you come to discover OGame?

Cass: Through my university mates in May 2004. Yes, May. I started on a German Universe, 17 - one of those that doesn't exist anymore due to a merge. A shame. A few of my friends there had an alliance and so I joined them. I've been playing along for a while.

Spidey: What alliance were you in there?

Cass: Historian alliance We later joined the more famous "Imperium". What we loved was roleplaying on the boards and in-game too. It was one of the top alliances, for a while even #1!

Spidey: Were you ever focused on being a top player in-game or was it always more the social aspect that intrigued you?

Cass: I received a #10 account on OGame.de and played well with it but, to be honest, it has always been the social aspect. I've never been much of a gamer, though I can play if I want to (I am just way too lazy there), but I like chatting, I like talking to people and helping them if possible.

Spidey: Ahh, I never knew you had a top ten account!

Cass: Yes, that was on the German OGame

Spidey: So after having so much fun in .de, what made you interested in joining the .org servers?

Cass: Lean back, that is a longer story

A few years ago, in 2001 or 2002 I think, I joined a Star Wars Forum named JediBites. I met a few very cool guys there (Wraith02 might ring a bell). So we had a very nice community there, a lot of fun, and then I discovered more or less by accident that there is also an English version of OGame.

I had been playing the German version for quite some time and was curious, so I registered at the forums and started answering questions. A few of the Star Wars forum members came with me and in Universe 1 I founded the alliance JediBites. JeB. There were a few people there who would later form Mara.Dim and who had their battles with Wraith and partly me. My interest was to show people I like the game and, as I then wasn't allowed to play there as a German, I stuck to forums.

Actually, I originally found out about .org on the .de forums when someone asked a question about it.

Spidey: This brings up a piece of OGame history that many may not know, particularly concerning the hostility between Mara.DIM and JeB, that being the dislike between Wraith02 (of JeB) and TheMasterChief (of Mara). Can you give your take on that major situation?

Cass: That has to do with the Star Wars forums. Ryan (TMC) was an Admin there, someone the creator of the forums really trusted. But they got a little irritated when she had her coming out, and I still don't know why they went so far to delete the entire forums (TMC and a few others) and put up porn pics. They really destroyed the forums, and I was really, really angry. So was Wraith - and as he is an entire different person than me - I guess they had a different sort of bickering that added up over time. I also think it might have something to do with JeB never really being the biggest raider alliance.

Spidey: Ahh, that transitions perfectly into my next question! JeB is one of the oldest alliances in .org but, to my knowledge, it was never one of the top alliances despite the history behind the name; was this due to the social focus on the alliance or were there other problems that kept JeB from the top?

Cass: I think it might be because of us being more lenient and seeing everything more as fun than being an overall competition. I handed the alliance over to Wraith back then who has done well but it has always been more fun to be social and talking, less because of big crashes. Though - JeB members do raid when there is an opportunity

Spidey: haha no doubt!

Now, you've been around to see nearly every top player come through .org, are there any that stood out as particularly entertaining to watch?

Cass: Graf Zahl is one of those I dearly miss, he was not only entertaining but really good to talk to. Then there are a few very old ones of Uni 1 - for example Aral and his drunk stunt with that moon. Kudos also to Swirl, some of those who were great raiders way before the major changes came. I also admit I find Deneb entertaining, even though I have to warn him every so often

Oh and DanCake, in my opinion one of the best players we have ever had.

Spidey: Totally agree there and Deneb is quite the personality indeed.

Cass: Personality he has ^^ He is pretty nice too.

Spidey: So, focusing a bit on in-game for now, what is your favorite part of actually playing the game?

Cass: Reaching goals I set for myself. I have always raided but never too much (though I think there is a Hall of Fame of mine somewhere in the archives, ages old), but it is always nice to see that I made another step to world domination

Spidey: So would you consider yourself a raider, miner, turtle, or...fleet crasher!...? lol

Cass: Mostly miner with certain raiding tendencies...that sounds like an illness, doesnt it?

Spidey: lol *takes mental note to raid Cass one day*

Cass: *makes mental note to ban spidey...* Oh wait, I once did that for sure

Spidey: True! ...alright, back to the questions. There was a time when OGame was free of any 'pay to play' elements but over time aspects such as Commander, Officers, and the Merchant came around. Many have felt these changes negatively effected the playing experience of the game by giving some an 'unfair advantage'. Did you see these changes as a problem or a natural progression to try to keep people from older universes interested in the game?

Cass: Those who knew me then know that at that time I was everything but happy, especially concerning the way it was presented. If you stalk through my board posts from that time you'll see. I plain didn't like the idea of it. When it was presented it literally ruined my birthday.

Well, I personally think it didn't have that much of an impact on the gameplay as such, not as much as I feared anyway, but that doesn't mean I am the biggest fan. I have always used Commander but never the other officers. I do notice, though, that there are less players but its hard to pinpoint reasons for that.

Spidey: Do you think the quick output of new universes may have aided in the decline? Certainly some great players became spread out when that happened but, then again, maybe they never would have played to begin with without having a fresh universe to join?

Cass: It might be. The thing is I know why new universes were added - to give people a chance to start fresh, so that they can achieve more. I once talked to the responsibles about that. It is one of these balancing acts - on the one hand, more universes mean that players are spread out (hence the mergers), on the other hand, it is unlikely someone will join the older universes because of the rank gap.

Spidey: Too true...looking back, was there a particular change in OGame that you would prevent from happening if you had a chance?

Cass: My problem is that I always know both sides >_> but if I have to pick one then maybe the instant building of everything, especially defences and such. Still - the Dark Matter bought and also the usage of all these things are not really low...

Spidey: And it is possible to mine Dark Matter, albeit incredibly slowly and without any guarantee of getting any.

Cass: Yes, from an economic point of view it is understandable.

Spidey: To end Part One I have a bit of a hard hitting question for you. You've been a member of JeB since the day you started in English OGame, have you ever considered joining another alliance just to be a part of something different for a while?

Cass: No, never actually JeB was my foundation and the leader there has become one of my best real life friends.

Cassandra Vandales Interview (Part Two) (July 19th, 2013)

Quote

SNN Interview #02B: Cassandra Vandales (Part Two)

The first half of my interview with Cassandra focused on her background, her time spent in-game, and a few alliance related issues. In the second half of the interview I focus fully on her time as a staff member and pick her brain for information on a lot of issues that few outside of her would know. We cover topics such as how she became a staff member, her visit to OGame Headquarters, some difficult changes to deal with throughout .orgs history, why she stepped away from OGame for a while, some of the biggest tests she faced as a staff member, before ending with some of her favorite memories.

I hope you all enjoy the second part of this interview as Cass was generous enough to spare a good portion of time to field my questions! Beyond that she is someone worthy of a lot of respect and I hope that this interview will help people realize that the OGame staff are simply every day people just trying to help out.

Next week I'll be taking a slightly surprising turn and be featuring an interview with an up-coming talent in Universe One. We'll be discussing what its like trying to make it in such an old universe and how the universe looks from the perspective of someone who has yet to see the top. Who is this person? You'll have to check in next week to find out!

KEY:
Spidey - The guy asking the questions
Cass - The mother hen of OGame .org

Spidey: When did you start as a member of the OGame staff?

Cass: In October 2004 as a Super Moderator straight away.

Spidey: And how did that come about?

Cass: A funny story actually. As I mentioned in Part One, I was on the German version of OGame, then I moved over to .org. I couldn't play as a German (there was a rule then about it lol) so I started helping out on the forums; quickly catching the eye of the responsibles back then. People will hardly remember them - Banshee, Ringkeeper... Anyway, I was asked if I would like to join the team via Skype conversation. Banshee didn't believe I was (and still am!) a female lol...and there I was, suddenly an SMod ^^

Spidey: So what you're telling me is that you became SMod because you were the only real girl playing OGame at the time?

Cass: Haha lol - naaaa. Because I had the highest post count already and all were helpful posts.

Spidey: Uh huh, a likely story!

Now, I happen to know from a past conversation that you had the opportunity to go to GameForge headquarters and meet the minds behind the game, tell us a little about that experience.

Cass: Yeah, the first time was at the end of 2005 when I briefly supported the German team as Board Administrator. Yes, I met the creator (Legor aka Alexander Rösner), which indeed remained the only time. He is a nice guy but we never really talked.

I know most of the current minds behind OGame though, like weteha (who has also become a real life friend), RF_WDA, and many others. They are all nice people. The headquarters I saw back then was the old one, they moved a while after. They are pretty generous though - GF has grown a lot in the past years, it has become more anonymous.

Spidey: Were you lucky enough to see the vats where they produce all of the Dark Matter or do you not have enough security clearance?

Cass: Back then there wasnt any DM ^^

Spidey: Damn, I guess the mystery continues then! Getting back on track, you started as an SMod, were you ever a Game Operator of any sort? And if so, in which universes?

Cass: Nope, I never joined the orange ranks. I know the tools though In .de there was a project where there were only Admins, no real separation between GO and mod.

Spidey: Any particular reason why you never wanted to be a GO?

Cass: I am more the kind who likes forums, communications and such, less the banning and hunting side.

Spidey: So, regarding your earlier comment, are you saying those who were Moderators were also Game Operators back in the day?

Cass: Oh, no that was only on .de and only on Admin level.

Spidey: Ahh ok! I'm assuming being handed an SMod position without even being a Mod first must have come with a considerable learning curve, tell me a little about your experiences back then.

Cass: Back then it was a little different than today. We didnt have much of a COMA - they had chosen one but Slyngel was extremely inactive so we never received much news. I had one or two mods then to look after, I mostly spent my time answering questions and transitioning stuff from .de to .org.

The BA then also became more and more inactive...It was a strange time, we didn't get any updates or such at all because the COMA (who wasnt called that back then) was not there. It got all better though when RF_WDA joined as leader beginning in February of '05.

Spidey: For those who may not know, a group which includes me honestly lol, what is a COMA?

Cass: A COMA, or community manager, is now someone who works for Gameforge in Karlsruhe (very few externals exist) and who are the link between the team and GF. Many of them also participate actively in the community if time allows but they have many in-house tasks as well to do. Back then, as there weren't so many things, it was a bit more community work.

Spidey: At some point things began to become more active in .org and that must have led to some significant changes on the staff side, when did these sorts of changes start and what are your memories of them?

Cass: When RF_WDA took over, someone who was then a student and worked part time for GF (later he entirely started there and formed the community management), changed the staff positions a little. I became Board Administrator, which was really nice, and then a few more staff people came in; some of which are long forgotten, some who are still known. Bibob, for example, or Wraith.

One of the major things was the introduction of a second universe which was a bit rocky as it simply made problems, but yeah. The first two years were amazing, .org grew and grew, the admin staff was pretty cool (and very German), then those who were really players starting on .org slowly rose ranks. I do not remember much of 2005 and 2006 - my brain blanked out a little as it was a hard time for me personally.

Spidey: That brings me to another question I wanted to ask, I recall you stepping away from OGame for a while at one point, was this due to burn out or some other reason?

Cass: You mean my 1 1/2 year break?

Spidey: Yes

Cass: Well, one of my reasons was that I got married that year and had to plan a lot there. But yes, I needed a break. I showed burn out tendencies so I said good bye and didn't intend to ever come back.

Spidey: And why did you eventually come back?

Cass: Borg asked me to and eventually I gave in. Much more stable and again filled with energy. Also my other BA position was gone so I had time.

Spidey: You mentioned the word stable which I find very interesting as I've noticed a lot of Moderators and Game Operators have a very hard time remaining stable. How have you managed to keep sane for all these years?

Cass: It might be that I have always been a patient person, I love helping and I love the community. Also a few bad things in my life might have helped, plus I teach kids - so...it often isn't so different from BAing.

Spidey: Now yourself and the rest of the staff have certainly been tested in a lot of ways and one of the most memorable time periods (for me at least) was the RoLUE/Mara.DIM war. Can you give some memories from your end of that chaotic time?

Cass: Haha - well, RoLUE and Mara have always had some trolls and some people who liked to test authority. Now I am pretty lenient, and I tend to prefer sending a personal message than always warning, but it was really hard. It was like looking after a bag of fleas ^^ Still, it was funny somehow!

Spidey: Would you mind talking about one of the biggest 'tests' you faced in terms of dealing with players as a staff member?

Cass: There were a few of these, and one of them was someone who has just returned, Airhead. I cannot say too much due to the data protection thing but he was the first OGame-wide banned player back then lol. But times have changed...

Then, of course, the officer crisis. The forums were a madhouse, so was IRC, and we stood in the middle. That was for sure the hardest task for us as we understood why players were upset but at the same time I knew that it was needed, maybe, and was not too happy about them myself. I remember that time period well to this day.

Spidey: I've been focusing a lot on the negatives it seems, perhaps too much, so lets change course here. What are some of your best memories of being a part of the OGame family?

Cass: My best memory is one from the start. I lost my mum Christmas 2004 and I will never forget what happened then. Someone must have talked about that to the players and it spread, I received many e-mails with condolences. .Org kept me focused during that time, it gave me something to do and noone ever made fun of that, so thanks again .org.

Spidey: It is amazing how a place that can breed so much negativity at times can be so incredibly great too.

Cass: Those are the reasons why I keep coming back. There are many amazing people here, and I count in many of those who I had to ban even. I think that many forget that everyone here are simply other people and you can talk well with many of them.

Spidey: That is an excellent way of looking at things. This next question interests me a lot because it involves one of the biggest events to happen in the past few years. When it was announced that the merge was happening how did the staff react? After all, this likely meant a lot of people losing positions.

Cass: To be honest, most of the staff likes the merging idea. The reason is that we are always a little low on staff, especially GOs, so no one is really unhappy. We also knew that a merge was needed.

Spidey: So it all went relatively smoothly?

Cass: Yes, luckily, though it is a lot of work for admins. Ever thought of joining as GO? ^^

Spidey: lol no, wouldn't have enough time to deal with it, I'd instantly be hated for laziness haha

Cass: I can always try

Spidey: I'll be honest, I don't have an actual outro question lol, so do you have any story that you'd like to share that I didn't think to ask about? Maybe some shoutouts or memories of players past?

Cass: Well, I have seen a lot on .org and such but I really want to thank the players; especially those who like discussing with me. Many players have come and gone, I remember lots of them, and I still miss plenty who were around then. One of my memories is, for example, one of the first April first jokes that went so well - where we created an entire forum and played around.

The debates via PM and forums with many players or the long chats on IRC which used to be more frequent are all things I have enjoyed. Also - I like more people than some might imagine. For example I like Deneb as a person a lot but I guess those I love most are Wraith02 and bibob who are close friends and even attended my wedding. Many others have already left, a shame...

Spidey: Well, that about wraps it up. This has been a fun conversation and one that I personally learned a few new facts from. I thank you for taking the time to do this!

Cass: Sure, no problem

Manread Interview (July 28th, 2013)

Quote

SNN Interview #03: manread

When I rejoined Universe One a few years ago I started from scratch. Not long after my restart I jumped on IRC because I used to have some good times on there and was a bit curious to see if it still existed. This is where I first noticed a n00b by the name of "meanread" hanging around. I completely forgot about this next part (until I finished my interview with him and went back through my IRC logs) but I had apparently chatted with him back then and even sent him some free resources to help him out. And look at him now.

There is something to be said for starting early in a universe and coming to dominate it. Many of the stories that capture the imagination and lead to the unanimous respect from the community are from those players that rose to the top when the universe was at it's most active. However there is also something to be said for a player who enters a universe they seem to stand no chance of surviving in, let alone reaching the top of, but still manages to find success.

It may seem odd to some to feature a player that barely makes it into the top 50% of the universe when there are so many legendary players still floating around but I think there is a unique story to be told. Anyone who has been in the Top 100 of a universe knows what success feels like, they know what it takes to rise to the top and to have only a few serious threats to their empire, but how many can say they have battled to relevance when there is no end to the threats in sight? When even a lazy turtle could pump out a fleet capable of destroying you in a short time because they have a 5+ year head start on you? Yet somehow, despite the odds, you're still going, still fleeting, still making profits and avoiding what seems to be the inevitable.

This is why I have decided to feature manread in this week's interview. As one of the most active young players in Universe One he has garnered a lot of hostile attention and yet remains unphased by the daunting accounts that surround him. In this interview we talk about learning the ropes of the game, what attracted him to Universe One, how he has handled the ever looming threats around him, the numerous alliances he has been a part of, and who he considers to be his biggest enemies in the universe.

I would also like to give a special shout out to VIRIATO who created the SNN picture you can all find located in my signature from now into the immediate future! Cheers mate!

KEY:
Spidey - The guy asking the questions
manread - King of the n00bs

Spidey: How long have you been playing OGame?

manread: I discovered OGame in about 2008ish though only started playing it regularly in 2011. I class my official start as the start of Kassiopeia.

Spidey: So what is it like learning how to play the game in an ACS universe?

manread: Not too much different from a non-ACS uni at the start. I was pretty n00bish when I was playing in Kassiopeia so apart from slow probing I didn't use any techniques I wouldn't use in a non-ACS universe. Though being able to combine fleets is a pretty big advantage early on against turtles.

Spidey: Do you still play in Kassiopeia?

manread: No, I quit in March of last year due to inactivity.

Spidey: What made you interested in joining Universe 1?

manread: Well, I wanted to play against who I thought were the best at the time. Also I wanted to play in a non-ACS uni and U1 had more players than most at the time.

Spidey: Did you start completely from scratch in U1?

manread: Yeah, I've been offered a few accounts but I've turned them all down. There are only a few accounts I would accept anyway as it would be an honour to play them.

Spidey: I actually started from scratch in U1 around the same time you did, you just recently passed the person playing my old account lol

manread: lol bet you weren't as n00bish as me though

Spidey: I tried a new strategy of minimal defense and high mines, it worked pretty well. Considering I almost never raid I was growing at a pretty good rate.

manread: I figured that one out eventually, both here in U1 for a while and when I started in mizar a while back (quit there a few months ago btw). When I originally started I was going to be a miner but due to the amount of targets I quickly took to fleeting.

Spidey: Interesting. Were you intimidated at all knowing you were joining a universe with the biggest accounts in OGame .org?

manread: Not really, I've always been a profit whore and bigger accounts just mean more profits. Half the time when I probe around I only realise the rank after I've sent the probe.

Spidey: Of all the newer players in Universe 1 you have stood out as one of the most active and aggressive, however being a low level fleeter makes you a tasty target too. What is it like trying to fleet in a universe with so many players that can take advantage of your mistakes?

manread: It keeps me on my toes but them having bigger fleets doesn't scare me. Don't get me wrong, I am wary of them whenever I launch a significant amount of fleet but, with only a handful that could time me back safely and the usual counter measures, one of my fleets hasn't been backtimed successfully since before I got a moon. The only 2 tries recently were laz, who blew both my moons and tried for the cargoes I deployed, and SOT on the same day with some of my destroyers. Oh and SOT went through a phase of blindly launching 20k battlecruisers at me on the off chance he would get my fleet. Never got anywhere near close though.

Spidey: Are there any players that you look up to or that you have styled your play after?

manread: I haven't been around long enough to know most of the 'legendary players' but RobinHood is one I've always feared, I think most know for good reason. I think pinky has always been a fairly decent player (and CHJ's trolling is always a laugh) but I mainly go with whatever style I deem to be the most profitable in either the short or long term; whichever matters most at the time.

Spidey: I've noticed you've been in a few different alliances over the course of your time in U1 and are now residing in META. Tell me a little about that journey.

manread: Well, I started out making T.E (aka the Terran Empire), my first alliance, though within a few weeks I joined U.E (which was United Empires) where I stayed for a few months but left due to inactivity. Then, after the merge, I joined up with Inferno, who were a great bunch of guys and had my back when I needed it most, however that eventually died. I made my own alliance once more and called it The META then recruited a couple of new guys.

Not too long ago, though, I got a message from pogue about joining REVO. He said that he wanted some of his allies to start fleeting and thought that my activity would kickstart that process. I joined REVO on the condition that my ally mates could come with me as I couldn't and wouldn't leave them behind. However, after a while we all got kicked and I received another message from pogue giving what he passed as an excuse for kicking us. I have a couple of theories as to why he kicked us but I'll be keeping them to myself. After that I reformed META and have been here ever since.

Spidey: I'll be honest, I've been fortunate enough to be in an 'ivory tower' alliance-wise for most of my OGame career so it is interesting to learn about some of the politics that go on in smaller alliances. What is it like not having a bigger player in your alliance that can watch your back?

manread: It keeps things interesting but it doesn't stop me from standing up to bigger players. When laz moved into the neighborhood I told him I was out to get him crashed by any means necessary, it's just a pity he isn't out of vacation mode more often.

Spidey: Tell me about a time when you had the most fun playing OGame, be it a fleeting venture or just a personal achievement.

manread: When I had just got my first moon, and slightly before, was quite fun. The crashes I did weren't huge but anything requiring what I considered a decent amount of fleet had to be done overnight as I thought I wouldn't get backtimed (and I didnt :D). So launching at about 1-2am and having recyclers get back at 9am, i.e. been up for 24+ hours, was quite fun. As for personal achievements, the 1 million point mark and my big IPM assaults were my best ones.

Spidey: Do you have anyone you consider an 'enemy' in Universe 1?

manread: SOT and laz, as well as david frances, kain, TPM phantomenace, THE ELEMENT, ivagone, shadow64, riprager, tremmar and martin, maybe a couple more I can't think of at the moment. Basically anyone who thinks they can destroy me or stab me in the back, plus a couple of annoying twats.

Spidey: Haha well, I think we've covered a lot of ground and hit on a lot of interesting stuff, are there any comments or other memories you would like to share with the OGame world?

manread: Getting moon destruction'd for the first time was pretty exciting, bit of an adrenaline rush (though I did whine like a n00b a bit). Strangely enough it was getting MD'd 24/7 that has gotten me completely used to seeing them on overview. When laz first moved in system and I tried to disrupt some moonshots he was doing (oh and for VIRIATO's moon construction company, 500 light fighters does not make a moonshot >.>) he decided to send 2 waves of 6 death stars at one of my moons. I simply lol'd, gave him the MD chance, and told him it was completely worth it.

Spidey: That must make for some fairly consistent excitement! I have to get going soon but I would like to make one final comment. At the end of my interview with pinky he talked about how new players can do perfectly well in older universes and I think you're an excellent example of that, I hope you continue to enjoy your time playing OGame and wish you continued success!

manread: Thanks for the interview and good luck to you too

Final SNN Interview (Original Run)

Zombie Interview (October 6th, 2013)

Quote

SNN Interview #04: Zombie

The Spidey News Network has returned!...kind of! In this special edition, I come out of my semi-retirement to get the perspective of one of the biggest forces to return to Universe 1 in recent times.

Zombie is a unique character within the world of OGame. He is as well known as he is enigmatic. Who is Zombie? What does he want? Why is he back? I'm not sure I have a real answer to any of these questions but I did gain a new understanding of this once unknowable man.

For those who have only been around for a few years, Zombie may be the equivalent of a guy like doa for us old timers. A strong fleeter with a good mind for the inner workings of the game who does as much hands off damage as he does hands on. Yet unlike doa, Zombie swore no allegiance to any particular group and simply remained a chaotic power in the midst of an otherwise loyalty driven universe.

I interviewed Zombie as he carried out his usual fear striking activities, something anyone that knows him will likely find quite fitting. In this interview we'll be delving into Zombie's life, how he came to prominence, his long standing feud with another infamous player, his involvement in numerous big hits, why he prefers to be a loner, and ending on some parting words to the universe.

KEY:
Spidey - The guy asking the questions
Zombie - Mass Paranoia Extraordinaire

Spidey: What were you doing prior to discovering OGame and who introduced you to the game?

Zombie: I was in Afghanistan, in the winter, and we were at a remote COB (contingency operating base). We were absolutely bored out of our minds with more then 2+ feet of snow outside. We didn't have anything there, including showers, but we did have a satellite and a router. This is where one of my soldiers introduced me to the game in later 2008, I believe. I was madly addicted after a couple weeks.

Spidey: OGame does tend to become addictive quite quickly, even when you only spend a few minutes a day playing it lol

What Universe did you start in?

Zombie: I started here in Universe 1. I've been offered accounts elsewhere but this is where I started and I can't cheat on my Zombies.

Spidey: It seems you're connected to some of the most famous (and infamous) players in OGame history. Was it simply a matter of luck that you fell in with legends like DanCake? How did you come to be a part of these powerful circles?

Zombie: My history was always war and drama. I started OGame as a Knight (baby wing of them) with Prisoners Of War (POW) at war with us. I am not known for the things others are, I was always the tiny player talking crap to big players, going to war, and Hall Of Fame-ing anything I could from them. And, most important, surviving.

I had a 100-200k size account when I was fighting POW. They were all 10x my size. After that war they respected me and I realized I should be a POW and not a Knight. They were EXTREMELY active fleeters. Strike Raider, GradyHawks, Stephen, and Ntdmx raised me in the game. For the next 12+ months we continued to war in Universe 1 with alliances bigger than us.

Most of the time there were 4-6 of us max in the alliance. I learned to play on an insanely fast learning curve. During this time I passed targets I found to bigger accounts for 50% of the profits. Molony, Sumduud, and Lord42 (his first two top 10's) all benefited from my help. They always paid and I grew fast, VERY fast!

During this time Lord42 (John) left and gave DanCake his account. I never had NAPs but John said, because of the hits I passed, I would never have to fear that account. Period. Well, soon after that account switched hands, I passed a hit to Craftyseed for the usual 50% finders fee. Craftyseed stiffed me on the payment. This is when Dan and I became attached at the hip.

Dan was anti AL.INC, I was a drama queen on the rise and was pissed. We hunted together for 6 months, most of the time while I was still in POW. Players were slow to catch on that Dan was working with me and vice versa in the beginning. Through Dan I met players like Deneb, Laz, Graf, Jake and a few others. We formed "Team Evil" and had an all out run on AL.INC. During this time the boards were just about all Dan's top 10's.

Dan murdered AL.INC for a very long time. We both played hard together. He treated me with respect and I truly enjoyed playing with him. When he got crashed by Exile/Spart/JimmyN (the 3 of them waving into him) I was done in the game as well...or so I thought. I came back 6 months later, found a buddy, timed exile, and we waved into his account (Myself and Afterkill). At least some vengeance was had.

Spidey: Do you find it oddly coincidental, given your history together, that Craftyseed has returned to Universe 1 at the same time that you have?

Zombie: Nah. I believe Craftyseed came back a few weeks ago, he had used an account to hold the Craftyseed name for him. I really just walked in 6 days ago. To be honest, I don't know if there is still drama there. I truly respect most of the people I am the meanest to; over months and years it becomes a very weird relationship.

Exciting fact about the issues between crafty and myself that most in the universe don't know (or likely don't remember). One day I moved in solar system with crafty. A few days after locating there he tried to moon boom me. I was definitely going to lose the moon but the small deuterium fleet should have been safe...except I messed up the recall *priceless*.

Anyhow...Craftyseed, innocently or not, incessantly put ships between my fleet landing and his fleet hitting (which was 8 sec + behind). The reason he did it was solid, in my opinion, because it stops jumpgating. The reason this old jumpgate trick worked is because if the light fighter count, for example, is off by 1 (even if there were, say, 1000 light fighters in the group and it got knocked back to 999) it also stops the gate from working when you try to auto fill in the value. This was called bug using as if you mashed the gate within the time the game was thinking (doing results of the battle) your jumpgate page would say some stupid weird message (not sure what it is anymore).

Anyhow Craftyseed got banned, the #1 account in Universe 1 at the time, because I reported him. Funny thing is, after a week of crafty being gone, Dan and I had no purpose. I chatted with Dan about it and then I caused drama with the Game Operators; for three days straight. They were so fed up with me, while factoring in that I was the one who got crafty banned, that they let him out. We still didn't see eye to eye but Dan and I had our purpose back. Dan got crashed after that LOL...I think I am plus karma at the moment so something good is coming, I can feel it, from 3 years ago lol

Spidey: Earlier you shared quite a bit about your respect for DanCake and his fleeting abilities, can you talk about your own personal favorite crashes; whether you crashed the person yourself or simply helped in the planning?

Zombie: To put it in perspective, when I was first teamed with Dan he was at least 10 times my size. I think every fleet in AL.INC, all 32 players, had bigger fleets than I did (might be stretching it a bit but you get the idea). I have no top 10s but I have timed, helped time, and been involved in many hits to this day; from players you know I am linked to to players you would have no clue I am or was.

My favorite hits, personally, are any pure Battlecruiser kill. Whether it's me hitting a moon with 2k BC's or 20k...I love it - lol - I have goals of being average, not epic like the top 10 fleeters. As for my favorite hall of fame hits, that'd be any hit on a player bigger than me or who was in a monopoly alliance.

Spidey: Very interesting take on things. Out of curiosity, what account is it that you took over for your most recent return to Universe 1?

Zombie: This is the account I made when I first played Universe 1, the true Zombie account. It hasn't been played for about 3 years, minus a few weeks during the exile crash. I think it lost a lot of size during that time to be honest. Pre-merger, when I was causing drama on the boards, I was on a miner account. I didn't have access to this account at the time. Many players get confused on who I am account wise, most Universe 1 players just know me because I spammed probes for years.

Spidey: Really? That is quite impressive that an account that hasn't been played for so long is still quite formidable after all this time. I see recently PoW has been reformed but prior to that you were in the Umbrella alliance. Other than the Resident Evil reference, what (if any) significance is there to that alliance name for you?

Zombie: For PoW, this is were I started in the game. The tag in Universe 1, liked or disliked, is associated with players that are active fleeters and will war with or provoke anyone. At least that's what it means to me =P Maybe others will post their views on that down below ../shrug

For Umbrella...meh, was only in it for my time in vacation mode.

Spidey: Ahh, so it was a placeholder for the impending outbreak.

Zombie: Alliances really aren't my thing Spidey. I enjoy playing with players I know are loyal and that I can trust. I don't care about their size, just those 2 things. I have huge issues with paranoia, I am sure some old pirates, INC, deneb, or maybe even dan will comment on that below. I have been solo the majority of the time I have played OGame or in an alliance that is empty lol. Other than paranoia, I just don't want others to get hit because of the way I choose to play. The only way to hurt me is to go through me that way.

Spidey: When you returned to OGame you seemed to go straight toward the Top Ten in Universe One to see what had been going down. What stood out the most to you as you looked through these hits?

Zombie: I have looked through those hits. I don't know most of the players on the receiving end. I know everyone has their favorite greats, I just wish I could have played the last 18 months instead of being stuck overseas. Those players that have come up in the last 18 months of action and survived are some all-stars in my opinion.

Spidey: So, now that you've returned to Universe 1, do you expect there to be a huge target on your back or do you plan to be the one doing the targeting?

Zombie: I hope there is a target on my back, that will get players out of vacation mode and get the game going again. If there isn't a target on my back then I think in the days or weeks to come, I/we will create some drama to get the boards going.

Spidey: And this brings me to my final question for you! Do you have any memories you would like to talk about that we didn't touch on or perhaps words of wisdom to share with your fellow OGamers?

Zombie: For memories, I have had so much drama and history with some alliances and players here I get confused on whether I am suppose to hate them, like them, or what to even write on the boards nowadays. There is a player I need to thank but can't say his name here. I know him through Dan and we have talked through PMs for years. I just want to tell him to get back into the game and join up with me! One of you two need to come back!

For wisdom, this game all comes down to discipline. Are you going to hit the snooze or are you going to hit overview? Are you going to take an easy fleetsave because you got away with it last time or are you going to cover your tracks and spend the time to do a fleetsave you can't get called on? Everyone that's lazy gets caught...period.

Spidey: Well Zombie, I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me and the rest of the OGame universe!

Zombie: Take care mate

Alex Stukov interviews WaR_Machine (May 19th, 2019)

Quote

Behind the scene - with WaR_Machine

Note: I do understand this article on fit everybodys opinion and point of view. The goal of this thread is pure informatiove. Feel free to discuss your opinion in a civil way. Good luck to board moderators in moderating the comment section.

I do have @War_Machine 's consent on posting our discussion in this thread.

As we agreed on our previous communication with him, I was on my way to this Empire. My shuttle finished the jump through multiverse. I was hoping we didn’t overload our hyperdrives and their resources would be enough for me to go back to my universe – Virgo. Travelling through the multiverse is a tricky thing. It is possible for small ships at any time, if you have the technology, but there are times when supermassive wormholes open and then it’s possible, yet even mandatory, for entire Empires to relocate as their universe is at its end. Sometimes, in search for a better future – entire Empires fall due to what expect them on the other side. The never-ending war is pretty much everywhere. And even if an Empire is the strongest amongst others in its universe – the relocation brings it together with other – mightier opponents.

Will there be an end of this…?

The headache that I always get after travelling through multiverse didn’t let itself waited for long. But there it was – Universe Quantum. I’ve been here before. Many thousands of years ago I ruled an Empire. Things happen too fast here. I couldn’t stand it. And I left – as I thought back then – forever. Now here I am. Travelling to the One once I feared. I can say I wasn’t nervous, what if it’s a trap? What if they’ll never let me go back?

Caught up in my thoughts – I didn’t even realize we were already approaching the mothership, the command center.

My pilots received green light to connect to one of the main docks. The computer made the calculations and it didn’t take long until the doors were ready to open. As the door opened – we saw that there was a squad waiting for us.

“– Greetings...!” I said.

“– He’s expecting you. Please follow me this way” - the officer interrupted.

“Not much of a chit-chat” I thought to myself. “Let’s hope the Admiral is more talkative, otherwise I came here for nothing.”

It didn’t take long, since we embarked the hyperloop, to reach the destination. As we left the hyperloop – we got into a long hall which led to his command center.

I’ve entered the room and we greeted each other.

Alex Stukov: Hello, Alex Stukov here.

WaR_Machine: Hello. Can you tell me about yourself?

< As I proceeded to talk about my past, I didn’t even notice that I did not turn on the recording device – therefore this part is missing from my report. As I finished my story we decided that it’s time for the interview>

Alex Stukov: Let’s begin from the beginning: when did you join oGame and how did you find out about it?

WaR_Machine: Probably started around 2009, a buddy of mine introduced oGame to me back in uni8 (1x speed). I played that universe from 0 to about top 200, if I can remember correctly. That was where I met UncleSam, Ninja and a few of the other guys I currently play with.

Alex Stukov: Was your friend way ahead of you then? Is he still playing? Give us a nick, so the multiverse would know who brought war machine into the play

WaR_Machine: He was way of head of me in rank but of course helped me along the way. In fact, it was a few of us that started playing together. unfortunately, he doesn't play anymore. Gave it up years ago and I can’t really remember his in-game nickname.

Alex Stukov: What did capture your interest the most in the gameplay at the beginning? Did you start as a miner or did you raid from the very beginning?

WaR_Machine: Miner? What's that?? LOL. I've never been a miner. I don’t even understand the concept of what miners do! I've fleeted since day one of my oGame life.

Alex Stukov: Was your current account created in Electra?

WaR_Machine: Nope, it was created in Universe 35. We had players talking crap about RIO in Electra... so we decided to take the fight to Electra... which was where I quickly took over the number 1 solo hit on Sweeney Todd. It remained the number 1 hit for a while until it was beaten by someone with a bigger fleet. Electra was full of turtles... and everyone there that had fleet was running together. NAP's were forged, and players were just scared of getting hit, so it quickly became a vmode universe. Which was when we decided to call it quits in Electra. We got bored of it and just didn't have time to play in both universe... so we gave away our accounts in Electra and my account was given to one of Hummer's friends which quickly got it crashed within a few days. That was when everyone thought that had taken me out. But was reveled it was no longer me on that account.

Alex Stukov: When you joined Universe 35, were you already set up to achieve top 1 position? Did you think back then that it is possible?

WaR_Machine: LOL, funny to asked that. I told Storm, I would become number 1 one day. That was my goal. Storm was the person who introduced me into Marvel Alliance... that was when I first joined a real alliance, they were the ones who gave me my big brake in uni35. Niro taught me everything I know from speed universe. I just perfected everything and change it for the better.

Alex Stukov: How did you feel when you landed your first HoF? How did it happen if you can recall that?

WaR_Machine: I think it started where every fleeter started... with a simple spy and fly.

Alex Stukov: Which hit would you consider your best? Considering its importance, its mechanics?

WaR_Machine: Our first hit on Mindwar (or Mindnoob as RIO called him) ... our ACS Moon POP defend... that changed oGame altogether, that hit alone was what put RIO on the map.

Alex Stukov: In your opinion what do you do that other people don’t - that got you so high as a player?

WaR_Machine: Hmm, to be honest. The only thing we did different was that we all played to reach the same goal. We trusted each other, and we fought together. It was never about a single person. That was made clear from day one that if we wanted to come out on top, we had to play as a team. Which was why, they were finally able to take me out. That was the only one-time Unity worked as a team. Before that, they were only individuals!

Alex Stukov: Have your fleet ever been fully crashed before that hit by Unity?

WaR_Machine: Nope

Alex Stukov: After that huge crash - did you ever had the idea of quitting oGame?

WaR_Machine: Yes of course. The hit itself wasn't enough for me to want to quit. It was everything else that lead up to it that did.

Alex Stukov: What was it?

WaR_Machine: Mindwar was banned for racism for about 2 to 3 years, but since him and Tirnoch were in good relationship with **** (censored to avoid conflict with GF team), at the time. He was able to get his account unbanned a few months before the Quantum merger. This would never happen if they didn’t have the connection they did with oGame. With his account unbanned, it was icing on the cake they needed to take me out. However, without Mindwar, they would have never been able to touch me.

Of course there is no way to prove this... but we all knew exactly how it happened and why.

Alex Stukov: How did you overcome that feeling? And how is even possible to rebuild after such a hit?

WaR_Machine: One word.... RIO!! They pushed me to come back... they pushed me to continue fighting. Day in and day out both Sam and Niro would be talking to me to come back.

Alex Stukov: How do you feel about all the ones involved in that hit? Did you ever get any change of retaliation?

WaR_Machine: Hmm... really don’t have words to describe those involved. As for my Retaliation... I really didn't get a chance to get them back since at that point. One by one they all just miraculously start to "give" away their accounts. New owners started to appear on those accounts,but that didn't stop me from trying to go after them one by one.

Alex Stukov: Did you get any of them?

WaR_Machine: Side Note: This hit on me would have never happened if Mindwar would have never gotten his universe 35 account unbanned. I nearly took out Kaldor which is why he holds the number 2 slot in biggest ACS hits. It would even been a profitable draw if Tirnoch would have never taken the DF.

Alex Stukov: As you play the game I’m sure you made quite a lot of adversaries in the game, did any of them threatened you in RL?

WaR_Machine: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! You have no idea!! People take this game WAY TOOOOOOO SERIOUS!!! Niro, Hummer and I got threaten constantly. It got so bad, Niro even gave people his home address and begged them to come try and do something. We did tickets reporting these threats, but we were always left with no solution. We were just told to report real threats to cops.

Alex Stukov: Speaking of real life, did you get to meet any of your friends that you got to know in oGame?

WaR_Machine: Hmm, no not really but we are good friends on Facebook. I know everyone in my council. I know everything about everyone that's came across RIO's doorstep.

Alex Stukov: I assume every experienced oGame player has his/hers own nostalgia about their game in the past, what’s your nostalgia?

WaR_Machine: Hmm, I guess how everyone views RIO

Alex Stukov: What’s different?

WaR_Machine: People’s views have changed over the years and now view us as the "BULLIES" of each universe we conquer.

Alex Stukov: Do you play in other universes too, at the moment?

WaR_Machine: Nope

Alex Stukov: In my opinion people are very interested in seeing your fleet. Do you get spied a lot?

WaR_Machine: Daily. Just this morning i got probed by a ranked 2100 guy just to see my fleet. People probe to see what I’m building to try and mimic my fleet. Trust me... players for Poland constantly make random noob accounts just to probe and see what I’m building

Alex Stukov: What is your current fleet? (side note: maybe you can make a screen shot if it and if you’re okay I could post it)

WaR_Machine: It's no secret what I got.

http://prntscr.com/norvn2

Alex Stukov: Do you ever plan on stopping building fleet and focus more on mines or research? Or you have a goal, I don’t know like building 100mln LF, 250k RIP etc.?

WaR_Machine: Hmm, no real goal. I build to ensure RIO's safety. No other reason. I always plan for the future... I play for if and when we merge.

Alex Stukov: Which gameplay update done by Gameforge would you consider the best? Which would you consider being the worst? (since you’ve been playing)

WaR_Machine: Hmm, planet relocation and instant building change oGame. maybe for the worse.

Alex Stukov: What would you propose to be added to oGame to improve it?

WaR_Machine: I did like the mention of "mirror universe" being used. There was a post of mirror universe being built where they mirror your current account into a new universe where you can play for "X" amount of time. this way you wouldn't have to worry about losing your accounts from being crashed. I’m sure oGame will find a way to incorporate this since it would be a great way for them to make money.

Alex Stukov: According to mmorpg you are top 1 military in the world! Technically in oGame .org you are impossible to be crashed - so the question is - would you be for a global merge of some sort?

WaR_Machine: RIO is preparing for that! We wait for it to happen!

Alex Stukov: Maybe you’ll start fleet saving again. By the way, when was the last time you did?

WaR_Machine: Last time I FS was just before Unity went mental and crashed each other to only get their accounts all banned. lol. I haven't FS since then

Alex Stukov: There is little to no challenge for you in the game (I assume) do what keeps you motivated?

WaR_Machine: "THE MERGER" lol

Alex Stukov: Let’s hope it’s going to happen at some point, but let’s look beyond that - sooner or later everybody ends his/her game - how do imagine yours will happen? Blue shield for eternity/give away/huge boom with your friends?

WaR_Machine: My account would either remain in vmode or just get deleted. Not many people can handle a account like this. Everyone in RIO feels the same way. They would rather delete their accounts before they would give it away.

Alex Stukov: What would you like to tell the players who will read this thread?

WaR_Machine: oGame is only a game! Real life should always come first!

Alex Stukov: Thank you so much for your time and for the fact that you agreed to do this.

WaR_Machine: Sure. No problem. I hope I answered all your questions.

As the doors opened, the Admiral went back to his position I’ve found him in. Leaving I could hear him as he started giving commands to his fleets to renew the search of potential targets.

“Some Empires will have a really bad day today” I said to myself.

When we reached the docs, to my surprise, the shuttle has been polished and the pilots said - as we departed - that our hosts also replaced the hyperdrives with a different model. A newer and a much much faster one... It was Quantum after all.

The visit went much better than I expected. There was no fear in me anymore. He wasn’t the tyrant other Admirals say he is.

He is just at war. Like all of us. But he’s doing it right. Unlike most of us.

Best of the Deep Archives

Now on to something completely different. There is a lot of interesting and strange stuff in the archives that probably never would have been paid attention to again if not for the news of the archives dying. I have by no means looked at every thread but am checking out anything that stands out. Before they are lost forever, let's take a look back at some old achievements, old drama, and weird stuff from OGame past.

Coolkiller is banned (February 18th, 2007)

If you go to the archives, there are two pinned threads. One is about about the new 20% tag that was added for hits, which seems like important information everyone would need to know. The other, at the very top of every page you click, is about the banning of coolkiller. What did he do? Why did anyone looking through OGame history need to remember this name in particular? I have no idea, but here is the contents of the thread that may help clarify what this ruffian was like.

The Ban of coolkiller

Posted By: Diablo

I ask you to stop creating threads about this, and to stop insulting the GO [Tanith] about what she did. This will only get you warnings and bans.

Here is Fever's [A GA] reponse for you all, in case you haven't seen it:

If you line up your shipyard queues with thousands and thousands of ships. Then send a Non-English message hoping to get a Vacmode ban and get away with all your ships building behind vacation mode. You WILL be banned without vacation mode.

I will now close this because bans are not to be discussed on the forums. But i wanted to clear some things up because Tanith did the 100% correct thing here. So also came to the Gameadmins for advice!

Lucifux Is Deceived (April 16th, 2006)

Darth tyranis is a bad guy, or so lucifux would have us believe. What did this dark side leaning player do to incite such anger? Is there justice? Is he even angry at the right person? Let's find out.

Quote

Treason, Deception and lies

Good day to all Ogame Players,
I am here to inform you and warn you about a player who goes by the name of Darth tyranis.

A traitor, Deciever and a Liar: If a better word could describe him after all he has done, let us hear it. To understand this, let me familiarize you all with what kind of pperson he is:

1. He was once a member and a founder (as i am) of the alliance
TNGR.UA. with his original account of Quinlan Vos.

2. A merge occured in the alliance

3. he was given a stronger account (250k points) named Nightshock
that he renamed to Darth Bandom and afterwards to Darth Tyranis.

4. He was then named Head of the alliance(strongly suggested by me
since i was the previous head who resigned) and i co-head.

5. He often tried to bring TNGR.UA to wars and later attacked a
member

6. he then left the alliance and formed his own called CIS and had a
merge and was afterwards called hhunds.w (witch is now DLOM) but
he was still heads.

7. He declared war on his former alliance (TNGR.UA and for no good
reason)

8. The war was then cancelled, witch is mostly thanks to me.
(because TNGR.UA did not want to war, I had to find a way to end
it because Darth Tyranis was stirring trouble and bringing more
alliances in the war: personal sacrifice.
I went over to hhunds.w and sabotaged its ranking system. by doing
so i cancelled the war to the alliance and endured attack after attack
by the whole gang. i had to go for desperate mesures to ensure the
well being of the alliance that i believe in.)

9. He then refoins TNGR.Ua and next thing you see. the alliance is
dragged into another war this time against the alliance Enmity.

10. This is what I know so far Darth Tyranis attacked Lord kenobi with
roughly 4,500 light fighters. Then follows several chats on msn
where Darth Tyranis insulted Enmity's Leader "agloro" and the rest
of the alliance calling them weak that their brother hood of terror
was weak!

11. He leaves the TNGR.UA as soon as war is declared. where? to the
alliance Enmity.

I can't deny that his persuasion is great. For i once believed him honest.

He is a Threat to all existing alliances and accepting him will put your alliance at great risk. Do not be fooled by his deception and his lies, cause you will realise your mistake after being back-stabed by him

Also, he has been using several accounts. one witch is Darth Tyranis, and another Kit fisto. I heard rumours that he has another account that he uses for farming (or depot), but it cannot be proved due to lack of evidence.

If anyone has any question reguarding Darth Tyranis, please post them in this topic.

thank you,

Post #2:

But he will keep on targeting Alliances until he is stopped. We must do something about it. Also:

On April 16th, We, Senators of the New Galactic Republic, declares Darth Tyranis, permanantly banished from the alliance for treason.

He must be stopped. I request the help of all to end his treason. This time it was us the target. tomorow? who knows, could be you.

Also i will post a topis in the head hunters uni1 section.

Reply From jonathondg:

Now I remember the guy you're talking about

Here's some info:

you cannot declare war ON an individual,

nor can you AS an individual.

You can only declare war ON alliance AS alliance...

If needed, just make a one-man alliance,

and declare war on his,

but you cannot declare war on ur own,

also u cannot declare war on only one person ( unless he's in a one-man alliance )

Post #3:

perhaps not, but we can keep him out of any alliances that may be a pottential target for his treachery. We need to do something about him guys.

Reply from Captain Obvious:

I believe your problem is solved. (this was a hyperlink to the pillory evidently showing Darth Tyranis was banned)

Reply from ghostsgt to Captain_Obvious:

Aw, damn it. The whining was just getting good.

*kicks dirt*

Gosh, Wally, you never let me have any fun.

Can we pick on everyone in this thread except for the RAWK guy?

Reply from lord kenobi (with an unexpected twist!):

well guys im sorry to say that tyranis did not cause all that.... i did partially thought i betrayed him and stood against him in a couple of times. i started the tngr war with DLOM and i kinda started the war on tngr with enmity. No personal fealing involved expet maybe putting tyranis down abit cus hes sometimes on my nerves. hes a good player thought and people shouldent just go bad mouthing after a player cus they are too weak to do attack him themselves. thats my bit.

Post #4:

After non-stopping attacks from the hhunds.w for weeks, what more can be done Secretsquirrels? It just proves that i am even more dedicated and loyal to TNGR.UA. And the ending of the war was just as unfair as the starting.

and Lord Kenobi: I know Tyranis IRL, and i know you also do. You two are friends. What guarantees us that you two are not conspiracing against TNGR.UA.

No one can deny that Tyranis is not only like this in ogame, but also IRL. It is nature. But he also dislikes Anakin skywalker, head of TNGR.UA. He dislikes knowing that he is doing something better than himself.

and Atlantic Fleet: what i am trying to say, is that i gave a peice of Tyranis' own medicine. But that is nothing compared to what he has done. I have ended wars through personnal sacrifice while he started them.

The thread ends with a competition of people trying to get the last post which is won by Atlantic Fleet. May your victory live on forever!

Post #2:

as i stated in the pm, no name belongs to anyone, its within the rules to use any name that is up for grabs, still surprising that you consider something within the rules as steal. my ign is shade at least for a week and everyone including the MoDs have to put up with this, i do NOT post fake CRs. fullstop.

Reply from Shade:

Yeah. It's nice to see some peoples' skill comes merely in sucking up ability and not in account building

Now Deneb, let's see if you've got the testicular fortitude to come against me, after all your smack talk.

Post #3:

i can build up an account too yet i don't need to prove it shade, funny to see you still talking after questioning my ability to make hits. you are not in my near-future plans yet, you are more than welcomed if u come after me thou.

btw, am i the only one thats tracked by green berets while talking testicular issues? hmm.. interesting

Reply from Shade:

Erm, you can't make hits. You did some basic raiding. Whoopie.

Want to see a hit? check the top 10 ;p.

and of course i'm not in your near future plans. Taking on anything of any decent skill level is OBVIOUSLY not in those

Reply from hunter:

nice one

i do not understand why shade is allowed to flame like this .

Deneb made a good hit and has to put up with flaming from shade, when will someone put an end to his bully boy tactics

Reply from Winchester:

Poor account.

Kami... your competence shall be missed.

Amen. There was a person who you actually to be worried about.

Post #4:

winch, its time to take your ogame career one step further, you are done with converting other people's CRs. now you do know what a CR exactly looks like, so you won't be shocked to see a few belonging to you. i have doubts about which end your gonna be thou.

and shade nothing man, ur full of BS. as always.

edit: this turned into a childish complaining competition, thanks to various people who contributed. after seeing the latest "post reported" thingy in that innocent message i wrote i decided to drop this shit off not to waste time on idiotic attractions. god bless you all.

Reply from Shade:

Then come and attack us

I'd say put your fleet where your mouth is if we all didn't know how wholly incompetent you where.

Reply from Chryssie:

I am not sure who closed this topic but you have my thanks.

If Shade and Deneb cannot keep their antagonism towards each other ingame then perhaps they need a break from the forums. Consider this a warning boys.

ADDAR BRINGS A CROWD (February 20th, 2006)

Back in the day if you got banned then you didn't go into vacation mode, instead the entire universe got a free chance to attack all of your planets. It seems as though bman was prone to using some bad language and this was the result. This would be bman's goodbye hit. The thread had over 150 replies, mostly discussing the merit (or lack thereof) of a hit like this, or whether bman should have been banned at all, but getting people that worked up is worth at least saving the CR that caused the controversy.

Quote

466,221,000 TD - [RancoR] ADDAR vs [BoOW] bman

Well, bman Was hunting a friend of mine Caevman, they had words due to bman Repeatly trying to phalanx him on deploy, the conversation resulted in bman Saying something along the lines of 'this Sh*tty game'

Thats a heavy insult sadly, cant say i totally agree but swearing is not allowed. So I planned to do the hit just after he went to sleep, i deployed a colony into his system to arrive just as he went to sleep and then the report insult was done. He was banned while my fleet was deploying into his system. Had to take an educated guess when his fleet would get back so as to time recycler help from RancoR guys due to them sending cross galaxy ;). All went off perfectly, collected all the Debre luckily, so about 111 million profit - 2.5 million duet loses

We all know the standards for posting a hit. You need the correct name, alliance, and total damage, but Tarmac was too poetic to go through all of that. The title "Loss" ends up having another meaning when big mean moderator Cass interjects.

An Accomplishment? (May 7th, 2006)

We all start somewhere and what is achievement other than a personal goal fulfilled? For OH REALLY FEARLESS, the standard was a bit lower than that of others.

OH RLY FEARLESS [Ramp. Wing] Vs. Fernax [terron]

As I was looking around.. i came across this guy... he had about 1500 sats a few days ago.. and a minor defence.. bu then I probed him once again. and his defence was rising.. same with his sats.. so I went in for the kill before the defence would cost more to overtake .. the metal was a lost.. but the crystal was my main concern ... also dont want anymore deathstars floating around my planets

[Grudge] Jack Bauer vs. [XDC] XDC BeerMonster... Round 2

[Grudge] Jack Bauer vs. [XDC] XDC BeerMonster

I crashed this guy a month and a half ago. The same trading partner let me know he was back with a fleet a couple days ago. So I launched at him only for him to fleetsave. Then it was just a simple thing of playing the waiting game. He fleetsaved to a debris field, I followed him home.

He made 4 mistakes again:

1. Inside my phalanx range.

2. Harassed one of my trading partners, who let me know he was back with a small fleet.

3. Fleetsaved to debris field thinking a phalanx couldn't see it.

4. RETURNED to his planet inside my phalanx range.

Thanks to Winchy for creating the CR converter which I modified a bit

So far he's tried fleetsaving by:

1. Attacking an inactive. FAILED

2. To debris field. FAILED

Maybe he'll figure it out. If not, I'll be waiting for Round 3.

Reply from XDC_BeerMonster:

well thanks for posting the CR. I gotta say it wasn't a nice feeling getting up on a Sunday morning to see a player ranked a full 1200 places above me had taken my fleet out, but feck it, it's only a game, but if you think thats ok fair enough, i guess you loved to pull wings off flies as a kids as well.

I knew it was coming because he'd been probing me daily for a week. I guess i find it two HUGE flaws in the game whereby it doesn't look like you can effectively fleet save from these vultures without getting a moon (i had a quick look at the hints of fleetsaving and it looks like the only way to effectively fleetsave if between 2 moons or a moon and a debris field) and you can be in n00b protection for a certain amount of time, then get thrown to the wolves and get creamed by highly ranked players.

As for "what a noob", i've only been playing this game for a little over a month, so fair comment i guess, i guess you've never been noobish enough to get crashed by 2500 battleships before. Can someone explain the "skill" needed to crash someones fleet when the attacked player doesn't have a prayer of doing much about defending against it.

The only thing that REALLY got me though was the no moon again, i've been hit with 5 or 6 20% moon chances and countless lesser chances, but still no cigar.

p.s let me know which "trading" partner it was i was hitting and i'll have a go at getting my res back from him, but i'm pretty damn sure it wasn't a player who was ranked 1000 places below my rank.

Reply from bleedingwolf:

I must say that hitting someone 1200 places below you is pretty weak, would like to see him take on someone within 20 places of him and do similar, that would be a good result. Jack Bauer you're my hero! not. you're just someone who takes pride in picking on people way lower than you, God if I had that fleet size I could do the same, it's nothing special (except in the "special school" sense!)

Reply from XDC_BeerMonster:

i still want to know who was the chicken who couldn't fight his own battles and went crying to a 25th ranked player when proceeded to batter a 1250 ranked player and then come onto a forum and brag about it......no matter, i'll continue to hit exactly the same people on the off chance he's it......loooooser.

is this how jack bauer got to rank 25?......coz if it is, it doesn't mean jack sh*t

.....as for the rest of you brown "oh well done, you really kicked his ass" nosers, i can only imagine you must be bricking it you might be next.

Post #2:

Ok, for those of you claiming I have no "guts" or "skill," open up the Top 10 in Uni 5 and you'll see my name with Shade at the top. I'm not afraid to hit someone near my rank and kill him if I can.

This is a war game. If you can't protect your fleet, you lose your fleet. I've been crashed before, ADDAR took over half my fleet a few months into the Uni. I figured out how to play A LOT more effectively and turned my account into a Top 25. The only thing I didn't do was whine and complain about it. I didn't leave the area, he got me. Simple as that.

If your fleet is profitable and you want to keep it in range of my fleet, your fleet will be used to fuel my shipyards. Simple as that. I don't care if you have 5001 points, if I can kill you, I will. If you can't handle that, I suggest you take up Monopoly. My fleet is severely undershipped compared to ADDAR's, but if you think for a second he wouldn't kill me, then you're insane.

I don't make and post these hits for the 'respect' of the OGame community. Other than my alliance mates, every one of them knows they could be next. I know I could be next by one of them if I screw up. We all know it and don't care. I post these hits for fun, to see the crybaby reactions. It's funny to me to see a guy get so upset over a game they can't win when they only put a half-assed effort into it in the first place. Hilarious, even.

For the guy who mentioned "social life," well the answer to that is that I'm 27 years old. My social life is already impaired by life responsibilities. I have 2 jobs so I can pay my rent and live a comfortable lifestyle and I have a 3rd job so I can continue to write, my first passion. I still find time to go out with friends and date women, but not every night like some OGamers who are 19 years old and their week consists of college classes and 15 hours of work. Been there, done that, had to move on and grow up. Enjoy your free time while you have it.

Oh and n00b protection is so you learn how to play the game. If you don't learn in n00b protection, well you'll learn eventually or quit.

Reply from Wardy:

i cant stand it when noobs come up with stupid lame reasons like "you are ranked above me" stfu so when you get to NO.1 that means u cant attack anyone does it learn how to fs instead of making up a load of crap on the forums and trying to make people feel sorry for you.

actualy it has worked i feel sorry for all you noobs that dont know how to fs because u WILL lose your fleets

Elusive Lives Up To The Name (May 4th, 2006)

This is an example of an old school tactics hit that a lot of the best players used at the time to try to go undetected. This strategy was more effective in the past because the leader board didn't update instantly and there was very limited access to data about planet locations. If you weren't checking ranks of the people who moved into the solar system next to you then you would have no idea what was coming.

Quote

Elusive (SoLD) -vs- TheGluttony (MOTU) TD: 354,507,000

Thanks are due to Zyxwertdha, Jamis and Sylmand for the intial target location, strength and other infos. Also to Dream and Uni for very reliable rec help which will see 99% of the debris secured within 30 minutes of the hit and a special thanks to Outcast for great Intel (and a lot of rec help as cover also) which made this a lot lot easier for me than it could have been. Thanks guys, you're great

Now the hit..

To sum it up quickly (as I don't spend a lot of time that I should away from the game) I changed my name, removed myself temporarily from SoLD to maybe give me time to deploy my fleet to a colony near him and an attack without him maybe realising I was there or getting infos I if nobody noticed the changes. It worked I think, maybe he didn't see me, maybe he didn't know or care but it was done.

Didn't use Bombers/Dessies to save on the 20 minutes as it was only during small windows of time it was worked out that maybe I could get him.

2good4u Loses The CR, Posts Anyway (May 12th, 2006)

You put in the work, you've made it all happen, and next thing you know the CR is gone. You're so flustered that not only do not make a proper title but you also post it in the wrong universe! And now it remains a part of OGame history.

Big Hit?

The attack was a couple of days and I would post it but it isn't in my messages so here is what it was

Attacker No Name

bs 600 or so

Defender 2good4u

100+ sats

2000+ sl

1 ls dome

100 or so missiles

came to a draw

attacked again and he won

he got about 200k in resources and the sat debris. WOOPIE DOO

Congratuations, the number 17 player of uni 12 just killed 100+ sats, don't you feel proud, anyone else want to? And to think it took 600 bs to do it, don't know what his problem is. must have upset him in another uni especially since this is my worst planet to attack. Just remember, he is so good that he wastes a decent fleet on sats. Let's go brag that with my friends. good humor.

Hori by GenPooBEER
Theme by Winchester

first off, i would like to say......GOOD JOB HITTING YOUR OWN TEAMATE. did you think sending at me knowing i was offline and then kicking me was going to make you look better? well it doesnt.

next, i know GF Fatty, i agree to that, but i havent talked to him for at least a month because ive been busy with real life, and only get online to help you with recyclers for all the people we were going to hit, but you backstab me because you think i told GF about something, and this something i have no clue what the hell it even is, but whatever floats your boat.

honestly, ive always been an honorable player, and to claim me anything else is utter bull****. i might have known GF, but no way i would bury my own alliance mates because of me and GF knowing each other. Fatty, you even know him, maybe it was you that told him about whatever the hell it is your bitching to me about.

all i know is, i thought MordoR would be an honestly great alliance to be in, but didnt know they would turn out like this, let alone this guy hitting me, when hes on my msn, we talked all the time, and even planned hits together, all i really can say is good job hitting one of your teamates, proves how much real skill you have in Ogame, and good job trying to blame me for something i have no idea about. i logged in and had 21 messages, most were from you or teamates mentioning GF, but says nothing about what happened, so im still oblivious, maybe someone can explain to me why i get backstabbed.

that makes:

total times fleet crashed - 3

total times betrayed by someone i know - 3

seems like a prety good count to me.

goodluck on the rebuild to me, and have fun crashing another teamate, thats always fun :).

EDIT- just to prove how skilled he is....

Definite thumbs down for this - even though she didn't post it.

Reply from Fatty:

FOR ONE THIS IS A NEW TOP TEN

TD: 262 707 000

so it will be arround for a long time

And to you volrath, you know what I am talking about and do not play dumb.

IF ANYONE THINKS THEY CAN SPY ON MORDOR AND FEED INFO OUT

WELL THINK AGAIN.

So get over it , and everone enjoy the new top ten, even though most will say it SUX.

And yes I am crazy and my native is not english.

So Think before you suck up someones arse.

I will kill you just to show this point,

DO NOT TRY AND PLAY ME FOR DUMB, I not like most have had this account from zero points, so I know what is going on, Why would you think I was so DUMB

so , get over it, spy boy.

Reply from Graf Zahl:

Fatty, I am, no, I was a big fan of your crazy non profit turtle smashs, yes, but now I believe you take the game too serious; destroying a team member without any proof, sorry, I don´t know what to say about it. It´s a shame, really. You weakened your alliance, who can trust you in the future? Why didn´t you contact Volrath to discuss and solve the problem you suspected of?

Reply from Fatty:

"Why didn´t you contact Volrath to discuss and solve the problem you suspected of? "

Good one, he is a spy, he would say anything to live. I kill spies.

THIS IS A SPY KILL> GET IT.

SPIES are not safe and I never trust them. So I had one option. KILL HIM.

SO I DID.

And this is a warning to all future spies trying to get into MordoR, do not play dumb, we all can figure things out, and maybe some info leaked is fake. And that is really when the spy is found out.

So I suspect now he can be my farm for posting it first. LAIMO

and not even posting it in the best catagory.

Post #2 in reply to Fatty:

well looks like you are doing that well enough on your own. if i was a spy, dont you think i would have been telling GF all your on and off times all along, so why would i have stayed for like 2 months, it makes no sense. if you would like to get a GO to check my ingames to see if i was telling him anything, then go ahead, they wouldnt find anything, because nothing happened between me and MordoR ever, and you can ask anyone how good my word is, and you would call me a liar to everyone on these boards. well at least the people know how much of a moron you are to believe some crap, and not even tell me what happened.

if you could crash me, then you should at least tell me why you did it, dont just say i was spying, really tell me why, because i have no idea, and i want to figure out the stupid ass reason why you would attack me because right now, im still seeing no reason, and dont just say i know, tell me, since i honestly have no clue, and im already fed up enough with you fatty for one day.

if you have any proof, or hell even have a reason for doing this s***, then tell me because i honestly dont think you have a reason other than running out of targets in g4. so, which is it?

Reply from Fatty:

"right but your arguments prove

how much tension or may I better say mistrust there is among MordoR

members!"

No there is no mistrust and no tension, this was a spy hunt and every player did there part to make this know as a fact, amoung us.

Before I killed him.

And ps, why do you think we all go up in points, could it be cause we stick together and do what is best for our team mates. I THINK SO.

We help each other out, not like noob alliances.

"Have you ever heard about this: The accused must be considered innocent until proven guilty?"

Yes, that is why we gave him enuf bait to hang himself, and he did that with out any incouragement.

And the other MordoRs know what this was about and are glad I did this.

And I'm sure they will surport me any way they can in the future. Just as I clean up when they ask me for help.

"@Fatty: Congraz on this incredible hit - it's by far the best one I have ever seen by you"

Yep I only normally post to stir. But he beat me too it, why he would be happy to post his spy death I do not know???

Reply from PADISAH:

i believe in fatty. some of our actions were known by the enemies. i tried to solve the problem but couldnt.

the 1st mordor faced with a situation like this. Maybe some of you remember Pandimonium was the spy for CoE. this looks like another spy.

@volrath i cant prove that u r the spy but it seems so. when we asked pandimonium he always rejected our statements and told our online times to CoE guys. maybe u can remember chama kicked some of us out. at the end he changed his planet names like xxxxxxx mordor or something like that. he deserved it.

and now posting our circular to this thread.... u showed us your face again. u deserved this.

@fatty good job bro. thnx for cleaning that rubbish:)

@all please cut the flame off. coz u all cant know what was going on in our alliance. it ll be your choice to believe it or not but that's away from attacking a teammate. that's just cleaning up.

@moderators: u should clean the post that contains our circular messages.

- Bad words edited out.

Reply from Theseus:

I have had a turbulent past with Mordors, but its just the past...

I realized how much they love their clan... and its pretty incredible they called Volrath a spy, that seemed to be in Mordor for a long time, without letting him explain things >>> ergo this is a shame for you Fatty and every Mordors should be ashamed for what you have done.

you know all his online times and you are so proud of this unsport hit.....

Reply from Fatty:

"you know all his online times and you are so proud of this unsport hit....."

READ IT AGAIN HE IS A SPY, Get IT!!!!!!!!

I KILLED HIM FOR THAT !!!!!

nothing more nothing less

and he posted it, I wasn't going to, because this is a internal matter, none of anyone elses business, but now it will be around for a while I would think. new top 10. Give you all some choices on what you should tell non allaince members.

And If all of you are stupid enuf to let spies live in your allainces then you deserve what you get.

So I will continue to kill who I want when I want, for what ever reson I Find to be in our best interests.

So I say it once more for the next person, HE WAS A SPY, SO I KILLED HIM, YES WE ALL HAD Proof, and I don't need to explane it to any of you.

Post #3 in reply to PADISAH:

i only posted those to get where people said i told GF something, what could i possibly have told him from those messages, tell me that and ill edit them out myself, im just sick of getting things spread about me, when i know they arent true. Fatty claims i was a spy, so someone tell me one of those messages that has anything at all i can say to GF, anyone?

there is none of those circs that say anything other than a few attacks or something, with no coords or anything, so what could i possibly say to him about your alliance?

the real fact, Fatty had no reason to do it, Fatty just wants an excuse to attack me. just because i dont post like 14 circs a day doesnt mean im a spy, ive already explained that i am busy with school stuff, so i dont have time to talk to everyone in the alliance all the time, after May the 26th i have all the time in the world, but not right now.

you can accuse me all day of spying, if you cant prove it, then just shut up and admit you backstabbed me, ill be waiting for when you finally admit that. i know you had no reason to hit me, and many other people know my word to be true, so i dont need to explain myself further. maybe you could get the GO's to see where i messaged GF all this so called "information" i gave him about my own teamates. if its one thing ive learned, it is loyalty to my alliance, ive never backstabbed, or handed out info in my almost 2 years of playing, so why would i start being dishonorable now? after working so hard for the reputation i have, and your going to act against that? at least a couple people should know the real truth, me and Fatty, and when Fatty finally admits the truth about this attack, then ill still be here.

looks like a long rebuild, but ive done it before.

just as a side note, i dont distrust the rest of my old alliance mates, and PADISAH, you have always been a cool player, and you truely carried that alliance a long ways, i wish MordoR the best of luck climbing more ranks, but @Fatty, i just cant wait to see the day you get crashed.

Did you execute Vollrath for this hit by KingPin8769 on you?

This hit was not 48h ago, right?

Reply from Godfather8769:

This is pretty pathetic really....Volrath is my bud, but I haven't talked to him in months....and don't you think that if he was a spy more mordor would have been crashed by now??

My fleet has been sitting on my moon for the longest time, so if Volrath is a spy, then he is the worst spy ever...

Fatty you suck in general. And to show you what kind of a player he is:

Quote 05-17 06:04:33 Fatty [] Re:Re:no subject
"warning to mordor not to me" (the stuff in quotations is what I had said in my previous message to fatty, that my attack on him was a warning to Mordor, not just him)

i thought they were crazy to try and take you. (in reference to Mordor attaking me)

Some have weird perseptions, (I guess they are stipid) Maybe you should bash them down for fun. (here he calls his own alliance stupid...he says stipid so to avoid an insult ban I guess)

anyway as you know they all know so i guess your warning got to them.

05-17 05:55:39 Fatty [] no subject
i think you miss understood

1. nice hit on me. I dont really care. big deal.
nice cheap shot for you.

2. I figured you SMOKED

3. I Was Giving you a smoking tip

4. Makes your smoke more powerfull

that was all

05-17 05:45:12 Fatty [] Re:Re:no subject
all i can say is get over it

i helped you with millions of deut and still you do this, oh well big deal

i think you need more cones bro

try buckets if you know what they are
and if they still wont stone you up, try upside down buckets

i knew you would be cut but i guess you showed your true colour with that one

easy good profit for you
Display Less

Since my time in Uni 6 I have always thought Fatty was off...very first day I joined he PM'ed me telling me that everyone in the original MordoR was a spy...he wanted to trade me deut so that he could build a fleet then we could destroy the spies....Needless to say Fatty freaked me out enough, and he/she was one of the main reasons I left.

And yes I USED you for your deut..but thats it...I never was your friend, and I hated being your ally. Basically you suck....Once again Im sorry to see you hit Volrath, and the sad thing is that even having your online/offline times, Fatty still couldnt even make a proper hit. ROFL

More proof as to how you suck, and the reason why Fatty makes so many unprofitable hits is because he actually is that stupid. Nothing to do with being a great player and not caring about res, he doesnt have speedsim, and can only use it when others sim for him/her/it.

Basically you are a grade A n00b...just leave now, you are a dirty player, dishonest, and you need to get a grip.

Reply from Canary Wundaboy:

1) Fatty, this hit is an absolute disgrace, you weakened your own alliance on the assumption that one of your members without any proof whatsoever. Absolutely nothing posted here leads me to see any connection between Valrath and spying activities. Also, looking at the HoF istory, if he was indeed a spy many more MordoR would have been hit by now.

2) What's wrong with the circular messages being posted? They are his right to post them if he wants, and let's face it, after the way he's been treated by you he's likely to post them in order to clear his own name and attempt to show us all how idiotic you have all acted.

Absolutely shocking display of Ogame sportsmanship.

And I have proof and It will never be put in this forum, Beusause,

All that think they need to put there 2 cense can suck my FART.

Get a life and come and attack me THEN.

And I hope you all get the bigger picture.

I think you are all laimo, can't find your own top 10, so bag out mine.

Oh well, you are all dweebs anyway

and to you GF, that was sarcasam, about Mordor players, and if you can't see that you too are really Dumb.

All these postes show me one thing. You all must be really smart. NOT

Oh and I like it that you all hate me it is my place to be hated and I am, I LIKE IT

- 1 warning, flames. Quit it.
PJ

It completely jumps the shark from here with speculation and not much progress being made. There is also a weird moment where King Floyd tells Kingpin8769:

I don't want to see my nick in your posts again. I don't like you and I don't want to speak with you. If you, at least do that we will have no problem in the future. Just think that I don't exist. Do not mention me directly or indirectly. Just ignore me, and I will do the same. This is not an order, it is just a request. you are free to say or do anthing you like.

I won't be that kind next time. bye

So the thread seemed to be a way to vent all manner of random frustrations as well. But, oh was it peak ODrama.

Jackie Chan Lives Up To The Name (May 19th, 2006)

Not A Real Buddy (May 21st, 2006)

You think to yourself "this person is cool, I want to be in contact with them all the time" so what do you do? In OGame you add the person to your buddylist. Now you're friends for life. Or your OGaming life. Or maybe not at all. Or maybe someone new has taken over the account and has no idea who you are. Deadman tells us a story about that. But is it the truth?

i didnt fleetsaved cause i knew the times of the ppl who can try to attack me..and i remembered i forgot to fs when i was going out so i tought " i spend like 30 min on my way to home so there won't be any problem as only the ppl on my solar system could crash me in about 30min.. and i know them all.." WRONG! don't trust this kid...

The JAVF / Kiwan Rivalry No One Knew About (May 26th, 2006)

Sometimes you're the little dog, sometimes you're the big dog, and in OGame sometimes the little dog becomes the big dog. This struggle of determination and perseverance was long lost in the archives but it's light is finally able to shine again! JAVF explains...

Quote

JAVF [MOB] v/s Kiwan [PAX] - [TD: 81,982,000]

Well...I think most of you knew about the clashes that were between Kiwan and me...

So, some story here...

Long ago, Kiwan made a revenge hit on me due to the fact that I stole some duet from his moon that he forgot to save...He had crashed a small fleet of mine but had given me a moon... (for that I thank him a lot) and my ingame nick during that time was "naruto"

Then after, I try to rebuild my fleet...and, it has become much bigger now

While I was rebuilding...Kiwan was constantly probing my planets...and he tried to crash my fleet many times X(, but in vain...

That time, my fleet was smaller than his, so profitable for him to crash! ;((I could not do nothing but to fleetsave everytime...)

But, some weeks ago, I had crashed most of his recyclers...in 2 times and that made angry (I think), after the last hit on his recyclers, he entered into vacation mode...

That time, my fleet wasn't big enough to crash his fleet...

So, I decided to build a fleet strong enough to crash his fleet...and to wait for him to come back from vacation mode...

Then, I succeeded in catching him up and my fleet was almost the double of his...I was only waiting for him to come back

Much time had passed, almost 2-3 weeks, I think...

But.....today at about 1h a.m ingame...He spied on me...

So, he was finally back from Vacation Mode...

I probed him back, but didn't see his fleet...he fleetsave and go to bed, I think...

So, I wait and get some sleep me too...

About 5 hours later, I probe his moon again...and I was surprised to see his whole fleet sitting there...I thought he was online because there was activity on his main planet...

I decided not to attack him as I thought he was on and I didn't have enough recyclers for the hit...I said to me.."I will get him another time"

...1hr had passed...there was no activity on Kiwan's main planet and his moon was still sitting on his moon...

So, he wasn't on!! So, without thinking, I launched my fleet and recyclers...I was really angry with me for not having send my fleets earlier...I should have already crash his fleet, atm...

Anyway, I waited and hoped...

Fortunately, luck was with me today...some minutes later...BOOM!!!

So, without further ado, I'm glad to present you this hit...my BIGGEST Hit so far...

@ Kiwan: It had been really fun to play this game against you (Though, i'm happy i find myself on the winning side :))...GL and HF in RL

Reply from Kiwan:

i'm not going to rebuild actually. i'm just going to MOD not GO and play my uni 2 account.

It`s kinda sad to see rivalries end.

The game is kinda boring when everyone is kissing each other.

Good hit My own fault for poor saving off my moon, been concentrating on graviton for a while and i was out all of yesterday, knew when i saw all the messages id been hit and fair play to Bhisc for pouncing on the opportunity.

If i hadnt been crashed by the top 20 3 times id have a huuuage fleet to play with by now

The End Of (A Few Of The Battleships Of) Candlemass (May 27th, 2006)

Candlemass, aka Graf Zahl, was considered to be one of best players to play the game. The assumption was that if a merge happened and there was a big battle between all the top players, Candlemass would win. We never quite got to find out just how well he would do when that hypothetical became a reality (he made a hit, urza stole the debris, and not long after Graf Zahl retired because he didn't have as much time or motivation for the game), but in his day he was unstoppable. That is unless you were turkkopat and had unexpected ninja skills. Let's hear from turkkopat...

TURK' S POWER.......

:wave:

Reply from Parsek:

Seems like a good Moral victory......I dont know if I would change that Scoreboard quite yet.....since there was no profit and his fleet wasnt defeated.....but a shot on goal nonetheless.

Even the good ones dont spend 100% focus on each small raid.

as for Turks Power.....I dont understand the need to put this with each post......I get along with some turks and never had any real problems........but do the ones that post this Turks power think they are better because they are turkish? I would not post USA power after each hit because this comes off as only arrogant.

Reply from Kursat:

CONGRATULATIONS to you, TURKKOPAT

It's a very goodninja to candlemass after he made Turan.

He will see we are not as weak as he thinks.

Now everybody will see that nobody is most biggest at this game.

I think candlemass begin to be old.

Make your JUBILEE candlemass before you lost your fleets

Deus Accepts The Challenge (May 30th, 2006)

There are a lot of valid complaints about playing the game outside of what the rules intend and plenty of people have done that over the years. It would be a less valid complaint about a perfectly acceptable and common game element (the phalanx) that would set Deus on the path to accomplish a new challenge.

Quote

[Hellas] Deus vs [N.S.A.] Ace

When I hit Blue Velvet, she told me that the hit wasn't perfect because I used phalanx info against her visible deploying fleet with the hope that she won't login in time.

Well that's partially true and hitting a non visible fleet became a challenge for me. Ace (a really good fleet saver) was the victim.

Congratulations Deus, you have shown you are a very good player, you have been hunting me for a long time and finally you got me.

Great skills from you, well done.

As you can see, I am still in the top 100, so it's going to take more than crashing my fleet to sink me, lol

I try to learn everyday from this game, it's just a shame the lessons are so expensive

And to the Hellas members, congratulations, you are a great alliance, with very good players, I wish I had some of you in my alliance, but I am afraid we will win this war in the end.

What Would You Do To Save Your Death Balls? (June 3rd, 2006)

It was a typical day, Godfather8769 was phalanxing and probing around when he noticed some RIPs from a player named Comet. He worked out timing and launched his fleet. Then he receives a message from her with a very odd request, one that he initially agrees to only to pull back from after thinking it over. Here is Godfather's post about the situation.

Quote

~RIP KILL~ Godfather8769[wayne] -vs- Comet[L.i.S] Long Read[TD: 133.656.000]

So I was phalanxing around one day when I notice 3 RIPs on attack..I say to myself..huh, 3 rips would be nice to hit...I see where there coming from, and ask a friend to probe as to not scare anyone way. When I get the probe report back, I am shocked...I see 9 more RIPS, and a variety of other ships, as it was a RIP attack I had many hours to decide whether or not I wanted to send, I chose to pass on the 3 RIPS, thinking I might get the whole thing...So as I phalanx, I see how Comet saves, deploy from planet to planet in system...Only way to get her is if she is offline when her fleet gets down, and I phalanx...well I knew if I was wrong once, I wouldnt get another shot. So a few days pass when I phalanx Comet, and what do I see, 12 RIPS going to attack..so once again I have this decision, get the 12 RIPS, or wait for it all. After much debate I decide to go for the RIPS...So I get my fleet ready, sim, see I make profit then send. Though I did have some concerns, as RIPS are wildly unpredictable, and if I were to get WCS then I may not even profit..so hmm. Comet comes online, we talk, she brings up paying me off, I say we can't do that since I am higher ranked, BUT if she wanted to clear it with a GO, then maybe it could happen. Comet then asks for a price, I tell her once again I can't really give her a price, since I am higher ranked, and that would be extortion, which isn't allowed as well. She says a figure, I say sure to the figure. Well I go offline for a bit, watch a movie, eat some lunch, and during this time Im thinking about whether or not I should recall, I finally decide that I will not recall. Well I inform Comet of this, and her response is, " I just spent an hour with the GO, and he said ok" well damn I think...So now I start to think maybe I'll recall, but then Comet go's on this we had a contract thing, and blah blah, which really pissed me off. Also blaming me for the lack of preparation she had for this hit..Well, sorry and I hate to break it to you, but I sent a RIP with my attack at 100% speed over 17 systems..thats 10+ hours of time in advance. Needless to say, I took my chances and went for the RIP..she had 3 seconds to save, and my recyclers were 2 seconds after that.

I won't sayt GLOTR as most know why. Comet is a very good player, and I am sure she needs no luck bouncing back...Have fun with the moon, I am glad you got it.

Reply from bw2082:

trying to pay off someone is sooooooo...

fabulous hit

Reply from Disturbed:

Impressive hit. Sorry her talking about a deal made you mad, so be it. Impressive hit nonetheless.

She is excited about the moon, she actually called it a cheap moon, LOL. Seem pricey to me!

Enjoy the DF.

Cord

Post #2 in response to Disturbed:

That wasn't the case at all, she assumed that as soon as she got the OK that I would recall, which I never agreed to. Talking to a GO was my idea, as that is the only proper way to do it...and when I started thinking about it, not that Comet isn't an honest player, but what is to keep her from not sending me the resources?? She is lower ranked, and couldnt get in trouble for not sending me res...so I had my account to also worry about.

If its a cheap moon, then great, I am glad I could have been of service.

Reply from Death47:

Great RIP hit GF, what was the offer out of interest?

Post #3:

When she got the ok from the GO, the deal was 10 million resources..though she failed to say which...so theoretically I could have asked for 10 million deut..and she would have been " obligated " to pay, but I chose to go for the RIPS.

IPMs Have Always Been Annoying (June 6th, 2006)

ADDAR of RancoR was busy dominating Universe 5 when someone began to target his alliance mates. This player wasn't much of a fleeting threat, but was looking to make life difficult for him and his allies. This wasn't going to stand for very long and ADDAR teaches an important lesson about what is important to do if you're going to annoy people with IPMs.

Wraith02 In Universe 8 Was A Thing (June 6th, 2006)

There Wraith02 was, not getting much respect in Universe 1 and having been targeted by a lot of top players, both for JeB's association with KohrAh (the big, bad guys of Universe 1 in the early days) and for being a staff member. He needed a new start and U8 would be that for him, but would it go any better? And will someone learn a valuable lesson about moon use?

[AoN] Darth Wraith02 Vrs Toastah [chaos]

my first HoF in U8 and for AoN:

i saw this the other day, but he was online so i didnt launch

i probed again today and saw it

also noticed no activity

simmed and asked for some rec help

but had to lend HP 25k deut so she could launch enough recs, which was easily done with the probe fleet iherited (which was prety much all the fleet i inherited >_>)

with that sorted and my recs enroute, i probed again just before the launch, but my probes got caught and got the no fire bug, so i was a little worried that my fleet would get a no fire bug aswell

but i didnt

Good hit

i went out and i didn't check my fleet after it got back... soooooo as a result i get crashed

Reply from Shirt Ninja:

great hit but i have to say i'm very ...concerned about your fleet composition ratio thar >_> either way damn nice hit too bad we dont get targets like this in U1

most people go straight for mass BS and neglect the fodder

What's Your Excuse? (June 7th, 2006)

We've all heard various reasons why people get crashed. They were in traffic. Their child was sick. They were in the hospital. Their alarm didn't go off. ~~They forgot to check the game and it was their own fault.~~ This, however, may be the most unique reason for being crashed of all. One player decided to let fate determine their future; or so they say.

Reply from The Dark Lord:

Ahh. I though that it may have been you that hit me. I had just come out of vaca mode and decided that ogame wasnt really all that fun any more, so I decided to leave my fleet sitting for a week and it it were crashed, I would quit and if it were alive, I would stay. Nice hit anyhow. Im glad it was you that hit me. Ive always been running from you. Its been fun, but Im throwing in the towel.

Graf Zahl Gets Revenge On Turkkopat (June 8th, 2006)

It was an amazing accomplishment when turkkopat kind of ninja'd some of Candlemass' battleships during a failed raid attempt. This may have gone by with little notice, but the victory march by turkkopat could not be stopped, at least not until he lost even more ships.

Post #2:

*lol* turkkopat, funny clown

I´m able to do maths, why should I ninja someone (doesn´t matter if low or high ranked player) when my losses are much higher than the captured res by digging the df and being on his revenge-list then, no, you won´t see it from me. I would contact the attacker and tell him I´m online, then I don´t need to save or spend the res lying on the planet. That´s what I call intelligent tactics. One day you´ll get it, maybe, maybe.

Ok, I think thread can be closed, everything´s said.

Beyonder Battles The Deutless (June 9th, 2006)

Sometimes we build fleet. We like seeing the numbers go up so we build more fleet. Then eventually we build so much fleet that maybe it's gotten a little out of hand and we're not fully prepared to move that fleet around. Beyonder, a great fleeter of yonder time, demonstrates why you should only build as much fleet as you can afford to pilot.

Wraith02 Runs Into Some U8 Problems (June 16th, 2006)

Isn't it annoying when you're minding your own OGaming business and other pesky people are probing you? Then, even more annoyingly, they begin sending ships to attack you! But Wraith02 was not going to stand for this. This would not be SilentAssassin's day.

Quote

SilentAssassin [TADSWAS] Vrs Darth Wraith02 [AoN]

this guy has been probing me CONSTANTLY, to the point when when ever i'd log on in the mornign i've have 15-20 probes from him which got beyond irritating

so i fleet save tonight, and end up hanging around a bit on IRC talking to some friends, when i see he's probing me again

i think nothing of it and continue talking to my friends

i then go to do my final checks before going to bed and i see this fleet heading towards me, seeing who it was i thought **** sleep im gonna get him

so i recalled my fleetsave

watched me defence take a 18 IPMs (i had destroyed my ABMs a while ago to try and help a friend IPM someone close by, but that never happened, and i forgot to replace them)

then did a bit of deploying then dodging (which he really should have seen on his phalanx)

This is the one and only interview I was able to find that I did for uni 8 on August 13th 2009. I know there were a few more, but they must be gone now. This was with Akira, the original owner of the account later known as Pinky. coughbetrayedbydenebcough

This interview was when I was 16 year old btw.

Uni 8- Interview With Starsailor, AKA Like tears in rain.

Interview with Akira - uni 8 Aug 13th 2009

Quote

I oppologize for the delay, it was unavoidable lol.

Starsailor is very Well kwown in in this uni, he has played accounts such as Spiderman's, which he is playing now. he has handled the account beautify and ripped apart noobs alike, and posted his accomplishments so all can fear.

Starsailor is better known as Akira, and right now his current nick is Like tears in rain.

not much is known about akira, at least by me, and he intends to keep it that way.

Akira is a greek who candle handle a big fleet.

not much more is needed to know =).

Onward

<Police>Good morning Starsailor, how are you today

<Starsailor>Hi.Fine.It's afternoon btw in case you didn't

noticed :p

<Police>now it is.. but thats besides the point, im

gonna start the interigation.. i mean questions

<Police>Can you Tell us a little bit about your real

life?

<Starsailor>Hm...nope.I am trying to keep my rl away from

this.Though through my posts someone can undestand many things about me.Messing

rl with og is not good.Besides, I prefer people thinking I have no life.Only

some mates know more things<Police>ok thats unsderstandable xD

<Police>What got you interested in ogame?

<Starsailor>I got BA and GA of og.gr so I had to learn

about it.In addition, Sasa's achievements and later on profhths,bakis,kerberos

were an inspiration.<Police>ok i did nto know you were a BA/GA

<Police>How long have you bin playing here?

<Starsailor>At uni 8, hm...cant remember.I started ogame

at December 2006

<Police>hey i was here longer then you lol. i

personally bin playing since September of 06

<Police>What are some other unis you play?

<Starsailor>I think I started uni 8 at september 2007<Starsailor>I don't play elsewhere anymore.Been in a few

other unis though

<Police>ok ok

<Police>How did you meet Spiderman to take over his

account?

<Starsailor>We were allies at an other uni, under Hellas

tag.Had a lot of fun then at chat.He was teaching us the game.

<Police>So Spiderman was you mentor?

<Starsailor>Yeap.He helped me with any question I had and

showed trust in me.In addition, some other allies from Hellas helped me.But

someone has to try himself too, I spent too much time reading guides, and posts

from legends of og.org

<Police>wow sounds like you really worked, and he

really learned to trust you. im still at the noob phase =P

<Police>Did you ever keep count of how many HOFs you

made?

<Starsailor>Nope.Not interested.It's upon someone's

prespective about the game I think.

<Police>How about Top 10s?

<Starsailor>4.That ones can't be forgotten.Of course, I

remember every big hit I did because such infos may be valuable in game.

<Police>4 top 10s? thats insanity. What was the most

skilled hit you have ever done?

<Starsailor>A moon-df I guess that wasn't posted.But

skills are relative.Everyone can do blinds nowadays as it seems from the

ammount of them on all org unis.

<Police>yeah everyone can do them >.>

<Police>Who was the hardest person to hit?

<Starsailor>None I guess.Everyone does mistakes.Since I

don't launch on someone much times before I crash him, I don't think it's hard.

<Police>your just got to be persistent i guess. thats

it for the boring questions, time to spice it up

<Police>What is your opinion of Professor and how he

plays the game?

<Starsailor>Although I have been critic in the past, I now

don't care.He can do as he likes since he has fun using the merchant.Whatever

makes you happy as they say.Some play the game for the fun of crashing, some

for friendships, some for the board and others for their ego.

<Police>ok, you respect his game play

<Police>You were a long time member of NSA, how do you

feel about them breaking up?

<Starsailor>Legal pushing is not respected but anyway. As

for NSA, it was inevitable and the right thing to do.If it wasn't for the big

war against AON, NSA would have fallen apart before.Too many people not

carrying or looking their own.

<Police>How do you feel about NSA getting back

together?

<Starsailor>Good to exist again since it was a big part of

the uni. But, I am for things moving on, changing.Reviving something won't

bring it back.

<Police>why dont you rejoin NSA?

<Starsailor>I think I already said it: I am for moving

on,changing.Besides, being alone is great.In addition, after the trolling

against me by a NSA member I don't think I would be welcomed.

<Police>How do you feel about D K, crashing tor, even

though those 2 accounts were always associated with each other as friends?

<Starsailor>Term "friends" in ogame is relevant

as it is in rl. People I know in rl tend to call me their friend, but for me

friends are not more than 2.Same applies at ogame. Speaking to someone doesn;t

make you a friend. Accs are not friends as you mention btw, their owners are.

<Police>so you feel that D K crashing tor is just part

of the game

<Starsailor>What else it could be? A real life fact? Lol

<Police>true. You keep on leaving this dull old

universe, but then keep coming back. Why?

<Starsailor>I like the game itself.When I have free time I

want to play.Since Spiderman can't play all the time, he has some rest. This

way the acc goes better as it has fresh hands lol.Go to an other uni is an

option but I am lazy and used to uni 8

<Police>Spiderman was one of the finest fleeters in

uni 8, how much pressure is on your shoulder to take care of his account?

<Starsailor>At first, it was a big responsibility.Now, I

feel part of this acc growth, I have nothing to prove to anyone.

<Police>You are usually ripping apart the uni 8 HOF

section with your new HOFs, and the occasional Top 10. What happened recently,

surely you did not stop making HOFs? Did you stop posting them?

<Starsailor>I don't do so many as in the past to be

honest.I am in the phase of rebuilding still, not to mention my unwillingness

and the smaller the uni gets.But yeap, I won't be posting unless I have

something to say.Someone can see gamestats to see my hits :p

<Police>why did you stop posting them? are you afraid

of the critics?

<Starsailor>Nope, I am just not in the mood or I already

know maybe who and what will post on them.In addition, recently I didn't liked

things said on it about the new no1 hit

<Police>trying to avoid drama i see

<Police>What are your plans for the future? Anyone

your gearing up to hit?

<Starsailor>Like I would tell you about hits.I just want

the acc to grow even faster.

<Police>dang, i tried lol

<Police>Any closing statements to the rest of uni 8 or

.org?

<Starsailor>Trade with me your deut lol. Neh, just keep

having fun and have a good summer with lots of beers and vacations.

<Police>cant

argue with that lol

<Starsailor>The deut or the summer? Lol

<Police>lol the beers

<Police>ok thanks for having me interview, have a

When A Loser's Luck Runs Out (March 7th, 2006)

We all need our rest, especially those who marathon OGame and have completely screwed up their sleep schedule. Add on top of that the duties of dashing the hopes of aspiring HOF posters by closing their threads and life caught up to lucky loser. Smith and Han Solo of the Rebel alliance would be there to turn his nap into a dirt nap.

Quote

499,804,000 TD - [Rebel] Smith & Han Solo + [BoOW] Rhavin Vs [Rancor] lucky loser

GALACTIC NEWS UPDATE: In a stunning move, a coalition of fleets from Rebel and the Brotherhood of the Wolf have struck a savage blow at RancoRian nation ...

Well yesterday nuP's fleet was weakened by his HOF on zinoid in which i stole 31M Metal making the top 10 hof not as profitable as it coulda been.

So i expected him to stay around & get revenge as a true rancor would, so i planned a ACS with sliver and han solo.

nuP coulda easily fleetsaved by deploy as there was a open slot in the same SS & i knew he was sleeping as i scouted him ALL NIGHT & checked out all his post times.

The attack took 2 hrs & i thought he'd get on to fs deploy to his other colony.

Basically theres no excuse to him not fleetsaving.

This is the 2nd best HOF In U5

Now heres a few quotes i thought i'd share:

better fleetsave well smith.. VERY well

The Ultimate Heartbreak (April 30th, 2006)

You're on the verge of accomplishing a long term goal. You built your first battleship, you're a relatively accomplished fleeter, and now it's time to take that next step. You're so close to having enough resources but an attack comes in that sends your dreams up in flames. This would be the circumstance under which Captain Stryker would say goodbye.

mos [HRG] vs Captain Stryker [Motu.it]

Well, as a few of you know, mos, and canapa at one time, has been after me for about a month. hes come close on several occasions, but i normally fleetsave close enough were hed have to guess hit to nail me. Today he got me, when i was 10k duet away from my first jumpgate and my last ogame goal (my first was 1k bs). I slept in and missed the save by at least 45 minutes. I missed the attack by 8 minutes. He got a second wave too of cargos. The hit was on my moon so no chance for that. Since its so late in the Uni i dont see a chance of rebuilding and having it be worth while...unless someone can supply me with 70 million metal and 30 million crystal :P. I've come to be friends with quite a few people since i started playing last May, but there's three people id especially like to thank though. two of them go to my school, and thats gidget and warnertime. but the other person has helped me out quite a bit and he didnt need to, and thats fishtremble, who in my opion is one of the best guys uni 4 has to offer. Oh, and kergillian, this is the last time your going to see Captain Stryker on this board. Its been fun.

When You Accelerate When You Should Have Braked (June 18th, 2006)

One day mosquito was going about their usual business, sucking blood and buzzing around unseen, when they began an unusual attack. It was a fleetsave, or it was intended to be. I still can't believe GameForge hasn't fixed the bug that put the attack and debris field options so close together after all this time. Lithodora shows the results.

The Killer Becomes The Killed (June 21st, 2006)

You've just made a big hit on an enemy alliance and it's time for some rest. The biggest player in their alliance is nowhere big enough to take you down so there is no need to worry. Lotnar was determined to get revenge however and was willing to traverse dark places to get it.

Quote

Lotnar[Dark Light] & Dark Fenix[ZonaaV] & MatriZhero[ZonaaV] vs. Irish Angel[AoA]

After evolmind fleet was crashed, Irish allowed himself the luxury of not fleetsaving, knowing my fleet is not strong enough to beat his. But he forgot one thing: I am a true worshiper of the most powerfull ogame god in uni 5: ACS.

Mil gracias for the brilliant move of MatrizHero, and for those who helped us with recs.

The hit is also dedicated to Rezul for his marriage, hope you will continue to play ogame as a married man too

GLTRB Irish if you decide too, you'll have to work hard if you want to get your revenge on me.

KiNg Of SuN Finally Meets His Match (June 25th, 2006)

When you're in the Top 10 of your universe and most players don't dare to mess with you, it's easy to forget that there are other experienced players out there who are still a threat to you. The Patrician (Sleeper Service) was a Universe 1 veteran who knew a thing or two about dealing with bigger, stronger players, briefly holding the #1 HoF slot for biggest crash in U1. When KiNg Of SuN came probing, Patrician left a tasty treat for him to discover but the cake was a lie.

Quote

(36.163.000 TD) Ninja: KiNg Of SuN [TR] vs Sleeper Service [KWAR]

Fortunately I saw KoS's probe when he had a peek at my colony. I managed to scramble a good bit of the fleet away so it looked like there was a tempting target left there. Sure enough he launched.

I waited for his fleet to arrive, dodging the safety probe he sent. After that it was just a matter of waiting and picking up the remains.

A Dream (Or Nightmare) Team Smash Up (June 29th, 2006)

There was a time when there was no deconstructing ships, so once you had built a bunch of solar satellites, for example, there was no breaking them down and getting part of the res back. Try as you might to protect them, it was often impossible long term and some found it easier to ask a friend to crash them so at least the debris field could be harvested. Not everyone had such foresight however. This hit is relevant not just for that but because of the names teaming up to make this happen. Having a big player after you is a challenge, but having two of the biggest and most accomplished players in all of OGame after you...well, this was bound to be the result.

The Formation Of The RIP Bash (July 2nd, 2006)

You're an active player. You've built up your defenses to protect from raids, you move your fleet when it's in danger and save appropriately. You're doing everything right. Then someone with an unstoppable number of ships is slowly lumbering its way toward your planet and there is nothing you can do about it. This is how the middle class gets destroyed. Also, those tech levels were super high for the time.

Excuse Me, What Kind Of Fleetsave Is This? (July 3rd, 2006)

You've got the fleet, you've got the deut, but it's important to be economical. There's no reason to waste unnecessary deut just because you're offline on occasion. You'll check in a few times a day, that fleet can sit and no one is going to bother it. If they try, you'll definitely be there to check on it. Right? Won't you?

Grudge Takes The #1 Alliance Slot From RancoR (April 24th, 2006)

While ADDAR was dominating Universe 5 and Deneb had been trolling Shade, there were few challengers that seemed capable of matching the combined might of their force. The entire RancoR alliance was made up of strong players on mostly strong accounts. But this powerful alliance had made some powerful enemies who finally started to find their stride, and though their first success wasn't against RancoR themselves, it was a major win and a moment that established a threat that could be the possible end of the RancoR dominance. Shade happily posted the following after a successful ACS with Wurth.

Quote

So begins the new age. Grudge in the number 1 spot... fleets perishing rapidly.. I'd be more witty about it but the CR says it all

Oh! Btw.. Deneb once said..

OMG OMG OMG... a non RancoR #1! I never expected this... wow wow

Reply from Wurth:

OH Revan is still quite fine. He has more fleet than what we took down. And for those who think it was a Grudge on Grudge hit, do I look like Dancake? No, Revan saw the light and joined after the hit.

As for the hit, I definitely need to give it up to my partner in crime Shade. He organized everything. As I said, he's the mastermind, I'm just the hammer. Of Truth. And Justice. And something else I can't mention here.

Thanks for commenting guys. I feel all tingly inside seeing my fleet dying a little bit to be the number 1 hit in u5.

Oh and for the clown who said it was all ADDAR on the previous number 1... read it again. ZOD's 62k light fighters had a lot to do with the hit as well. And that hit had a lot more defense than what we went through.

EDIT: I forgot ADDAR's hit on Evil_pn was a million more debris. ADDAR IS KING, I AM A MERE MORTAL. Not everyone can be ADDAR, k? No reason to talk down on this hit.

Oh and for the record, I absolutely loved the Dancake killing Miss Kellian CR.

I'll gladly take a warning. FUCK YOU to all the trolls out there. A new number 1 and we don't get 5 thumbs up. FUCK YOU.

1 Warning for swearing and insulting - No need for that, u know better, chill - ADDAR

Turk On Turk Violence (June 20th, 2006)

It was common for Turkish players who came to .org to team up together and to make posts full of a "Turkish pride" sentiment. Some took it as racial elitism, others saw it as a people in the minority of the community trying to show they could match the talents of the top players of .org, but regardless it wasn't very common for there to be any noteworthy hits from one Turk onto another. But racial boundaries didn't stop people from being jerks to one another and Exar KuN would decide to take care of this one.

Quote

Exar kuN [GokTurk] vs. Duran [TheVolta] TD: 346'713'000

He attacked some of us long time ago. Even he is a Turk too, he attacked us for very little profit. so, he was in my crashlist.

It was something like 8 hours ago he messaged me and said i cannot crash him. 3 hours later his fleet was down.

Check In Before You Take A NAP (July 5th, 2006)

It wasn't that long ago that we were taking a look at k4mik4z3's first ever hit and now he has made it to the #3 rank in his universe! Unfortunately, an account switch meant that the new player didn't know there was a NAP between the former player and k4mik4z3, which resulted in sparking off this hostile reaction.

Quote

DegO [Heavy_F] vs K4mik4z3 [No Ally] (TD:39.8M)

Well, I am glad i did this hit. I must admit i was scared (for obvious reasons) about getting ninja'd. But i got the guts to do it and just went for it

I am just happy cause he is rank 3 and im rank 24 which makes me feel good and of course because of the no losses fact

A Precious Battle (July 6th, 2006)

Sometimes you go to the enemy, sometimes the enemy comes to you. When you're a cave dwelling, ring obsessed creature who has long ago lost your humanity, impulsiveness can get the better of you and SaberX's patience would pay off.

Quote

and Ninja - Smeagol [TURKIYE] vs SaberX [Spawn]

I probed some Systems around me and found Smeagols fleet, but he had also a big defence, so i was not able to destroy him with profit.

But then he got a moon and i hoped that he would deploy his fleet on the moon, but he didn´t do. So i write him and his fleet off.

Today i probed again some systems around me and Smeagol too.

After 20mins he probed me and started his attack on me...

I simulated the battle and then i deployed my fleet 3 sec before he arrived on my planet.

And then that happend.

Never Trust Ziu (July 12th, 2006)

It's a tale as old as OGame. You are in a tight bind and you know you're a sitting duck for a nearby fleeter so you take the initiative. You ask for a 48 hour NAP and they accept. Phew, that's a load off. The only threat close enough to attack you is giving you the space you need to move elsewhere. Except Ziu may have appeared friendly and reasonable, but his HoF board post shows that Eaglewing made numerous mistakes, the biggest of which was thinking the NAP would save him.

Trying To Be Productive While Offline Backfires (July 12th, 2006)

You raid while you're actively playing the game and get a lot of profits that way. What if you could raid even more while you sleep? Then you'd be wasting less time and gaining more resources to outgrow everyone else! You get your ships together, attack a random inactive planet, and head to bed. Unfortunately, Outkast19 takes note of this habit and decides to do his own resource harvesting.

[VS]Outkast vs. [xGMx]Orlandu (TD: 91.595.000)

Well he's a nice guy as we've had dealings in game but this is a war game ... and attack saving on an inactive just means it was a matter of time before he was crashed.

And I'd prefer the profits in my shipyards than someone else's *cough* Pio

Now of course, its all about presentation!

Best of luck rebuilding Orlandu, I know you'll do it quickly.

Reply from Orlandu:

Meh, I was getting lazy with it. Nice it, and it looks like it's back to rebuilding for me. It's just too bad that I didn't get a moon, and that this wasn't an advanced HoF.

When Posting On The Board Becomes Your Downfall (July 10th, 2006)

One of the most important parts of keeping the game active is having a thriving community. Part of that community is sharing combat reports on the communal boards. Dawn of Destruction was growing quite large and, in aKanobi's opinion, quite tasty. It may not have been too long before Dawn of Destruction was too big for aKanobi to attack but aKanobi wouldn't let him get that far.

Quote

[TD=88.775.000] aKanobi [DTH ROW] vs Dawn of Destruction [ SCARa]

There's a little story to this hit...

I gave DoD a moon a long time ago now, and told him to use it to save from and he *should* be safe.

I forgot about him for a long time but he posted his first HoF yesterday...

Dawn of Destruction [SCARa] vs DeserveDeath [DxG]

This alerted to me to the fact he had managed to rebuild a good fleet. Well I couldn't have a fleet of that size operating in my raiding area so it needed to be taken care of.

I found out whole fleet yesterday and gathered some information regarding online times and planned my strike for today.

Well everything went succesfull and I present my biggest CR ever...

This hit is dedicated to GP for sitting on msn with me throughout today's events

Reply from Dawn of Destruction:

Ok if you think you are so good.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

You get time to attack me because I was getting a problem with my connection and I can't Fleetsave. So you attack like a coyard. I'm happy that you do that because I was stopping in uni 6 because there are many person that is cheating and I don't like that. Why can't they play normally.

Also you Akanobi don't think you are so good. You make lot of unnecessary technologies just to be 1st in techs. NOOOOOOOOOOOB. I don't have nothing from the attack but I don't lke that you ask that you are so good when you ar a noob.

Good hit mate....

Sore looser?

What do my techs have to do with anything?

Well then you got crashed by a n00b, what does that make you?

The Final Days Of KiNg Of SuN? (July 15th, 2006)

It was less than a month ago that KiNg Of SuN had put "Goodbye" in front of his name as if he was planning to quit the game. However, that OCrack is hard to shake and he kept on going, only to find himself being raided by people in the 500 ranks. It seems KiNg Of SuN may have dropped his last catchphrase while Tabris picked up his first HoF. He was quite over the moon about it until he realized it may not have been quite the accomplishment he'd thought it was.

Quote

Yes I have a death wish: Tabris[SoroSuub] vs. KiNg Of SuN[1453]

A while back he was spying my moon around 7 times a day looking for my fleet, he stopped that but raided a colony. Yes, I know he is ranked 10 and I'm way back in the 500s, but this is to show I'm won't stand for that sorta thing. Back to reality, this is prolly like 1% of his fleet, and sadly he came online and used me for a moonshot. I'm still posting this since it wasn't originally a moon shot.

That Takes Care Of That Probe-lem (July 16th, 2006)

Probes used to be able to carry resources. Not many, mind you, but enough for some inactive raiding and small amount of fast res shipping if you had enough of them. Needless to say, a large army of probes could be very annoying and Wurth was happy to make a dent in the probe armies of his universe.

Maybe Try Sending A PM First (July 16th, 2006)

There are many ways to stop an attack and a reliable one used to be a quick message of "hey, I'm online". This would tell the would be raider that you were likely to move your resources or ninja their ships, which would lead to them recalling. It would seem smellystudent ran into a player who tried a different means of letting them know they were online and smellystudent would end up profiting even more than he could have dreamed of as a result.

Quote

Ninja: Cheto [KAOS] vs. smellystudent [TSE] (7 RIPs down)

I was attacking one of Cheto's small colonies yesterday, just a farming run. Halfway through the attack, I had 7 deathstars show up on my overview.

I thought it was a fun new way of letting me know that he was online, so i recalled the fleet to get the fleetslot back.

He didn't recall.

Whether he thought he was just going to defence-bash me as payment for farming him a few times, I don't know. He didn't even safety probe.

Here's the result:

Quote Attacker Cheto
