Quote from Cassandra Vandales

Dan....

God this brings back so many good memories.

Dan was always an integral member of the community, as a player and leader of JeB and of course as one of my partners in crime on the BA team. And it's been nearly two decades now. I can say my life was richer with Dan in it.

Indeed - Nostalgia was certainly set up to max there.

You were always the heart of things, I was just playing my little part in something big

But it's always been an honour to work with you, and be your friend for so long

Even older then that really.. (most like 7042 today)

Though there isn't anyone really left from back there - the closest date we have is listed in the u1 section details (just look at Cass, or My forum regestration dates as proof - both of us were already in u1 when we registered)

Great smash there buddy - looked like you really cashed them in!

Great to see you making top 10's again

Speedy rebuild Crypto

Quote from disarrayed

To bad its not like the old days where Heavy insult bans came with no Vmode. I'm sure there would be a lot of players in Uni 1 who would of loved to feast on your account while your banned. Either way enjoy your mini vacation and come back and continue playing and learn from your mistakes. No non English messages and no insults.

Seems like a deterrent for toxic players.

Why reporting him for first heated response?

Seems unnecessary. Just trash talk him mildly back and move on.

The thing is though.. there is nothing to state from the information provided, that the initial message was heated.. just that it was non-english..

While Google-translate isn't perfect.. it can give enough information that a message has an insulting intention.
Heavy Insult > Non-English.

The heavier breach will always take president.

It's always a risk sending a non-english message on the .org server.

The official language is always English - if you send a non-English message, things like google translate is MUCH better at translating things then it was 5-10 years ago.

Sending insiulting / non-english message is always a risk, and you will face the consiquences of sending one.. and if you are using that langauge to be insulting.. well that's double trouble, and entirely on you.

Had this in my head since a colleague ended a teams group chat with "one day, maybe"..

Super album.. probably not so well known these days

Time for another visit

and

and to slip back off again

Wraith, don't You dare to vanish again

I'm retired these days :p .. have been a while now really so don't drop by often

Old school

Sad to read this Klass, but I entirely understand the process behind it.

I'm just a ghost of the past these days, but thank you from me and all the Ogame players for everthing you've done for the communities with these tools and your hard work.

All the best for your future, I hope someone worthy comes forward so your legacy can live on.

Why are you refusing to take responsability for your own actions? - whch includes not looking for the rules of the game.

The bashing rule isn't anything new.. it's been in place in it's current form (or at least the main part of it) for at least a decade, and in various other forms for 18 years since .org opened it's doors.

Trust me.. I know, I have been here that long, and even helped write the base for the general rules back when I was involved with running the game.

As hinted at, there is far, far more to consider to such a bashing counter then just "have I attacked this person more more then 6 times in 24 hours". It really isn't that hard not to attack someone more then 6 times at on planet during that a 24 hours period.

As for complaining about the rule - have you ever been a "victim" of being bashed? Have you had someone launched more then 7-8-9-10-12 Moon Destruction waves against your primary moons and had them all popped while you were offline? or had your production / fleet / defence / planet wiped out by someone attacking more then the allowed amount? That does far more damage to the game, then someone who finds counting as below them.

You didn't answer my point though.. If you got a ticket for speeding.. would your excuse be "well, my car was built to go that fast.. so why should I get a ticket?" - because your arguments sound just as silly.

Ignorange of the rules is no excuse, you agree to the T+C, and the rules every time you login, it is not the developers fault you didn't do this.

It's not like the old days when the only place to find the rules was the forum here - it is right there at the footer of the game.

Could the game record the number of attacks.. maybe. Should it.. also maybe.

How ever.. How would you differentiate between players at war where bashing is allowed? Or a player that was inactive?

How would you seperate was a raid.. and what was infact concentual mutiple (more then 6) moonshots?

Your car makes it possible to speed.. that doesn't give you an excuse for breaking the speed limits though.

OGame Origin - Forum change

Entirely intentional, though the text in the section could be clearer, possibly with a - "Read Me" pre/suffix to the text there Prongs as it's not 100% obvious it's a link.

Even bring the news post through as a sticky thread might help.

22nd of September 2004, the day that Cassandra Vandales persuaded a bunch of us from an old Star Wars message board to give the English version of Ogame (which had started approximatly 10 days earlier) a try. Most of those members didn't last more then a few years, but the alliance lived on.

Things have changed a lot since the alliance was founded (the same day I also started my O-Journey) but we kept on going.

Happy 18th to my alliance!

Time for us to have a drink or 2

13th of September 2004, the date (we believe.. records from back then are sketchy ) that Ogame.org was opened to the English Speaking community.

A lot has happened in that time, from the lofty heights of full servers within a matter of days to new servers having to open every few weeks to handle the player count, to the the forum that would nurture countless friendships, frenemies, enemies and even many romances.

It's been a long old time since those times, but it's good to see the old hands that are still about, whether it's due to coming and going or having been around all that time.

Now, with .Org reaching 18 we can finally get (or atleast hope) it to pick up the drinks tab
