So, sometimes it happens in a sins game that you dominate an opponent so hard in fleet only, and there are no real opportunities for your setup to have a stronger economy because your other bad allies all got curb stomped and the field of play is such that you can't tactically take out another player's eco. So, it ends up with the economic players wearing down the remaining super fleet while owning 3/4 of the map, while they also build a super fleet of their own(at least as an advent/tec player...vasari have no problem with this situation).
I just recently played a game like this, where we were all but ended and we had lost, and it was our super fleet vs their super fleet. The other team had set this huge fight out and wanted to engage us to see who had the better fleet, all the while boasting that they had already dominated, this battle was a foregone conclusion, they just wanted to fight it. Everyone was engaging in the fight and enjoying it, right up until the lag set in. So this is about a 30 minute fight(which isn't nearly the longest fight i've ever had). My team was outnumbered by about 30% in forces, yet we had high level titans. they had an all carrier force, yet not enough guardians to do anything. we stayed back in defensive formation to cut down their fighters/bombs with our ~100 flak while my coronata keeping damage to a minimum (it took them a long time to focus fire the coronata instead of the eradica..lolz). So ya their bombers were getting shredded, and then we proceeded to engage their carriers. then the lag set in really bad and they started bitching about their victory point.
Well newer players, this is what you do when adversity strikes, you adapt and overcome. You stick the fight out, you endure the shitty lag. Many games lag out, learn to deal with it. If you engage in the fight, don't whine your way trying to get everyone to leave.
We engage and throughout the fight, we proceed to dominate the other fleet, the destroyed lvl 10 eradica taking out an amazing amount of opposing ships. Since we all agreed to fight this fight beforehand, all the complaints that said to stop the fight and let them have the victory, mid fight. I mean my team was really mauling them good, so why give up the fight right, especially all the boastful crap that we were reading by their team.
I personally enjoy the large fights in sins, and when they actually happen it is a fun experience, even with the lag.
If you go into a huge fight, you are vouching for your computer as well, you don't have the right to bitch and moan if you minidump because your computer sucks. You can buy a computer with newegg's card and upgrade it, and pay it off within a year, even if you are poor (that's what I do). So, if your rig is crap, and yet you derive a lot of your fun from playing games on it, perhaps it would be a logical thing to upgrade it.
Anyways, someone has to finish the fight. Also, if you commit to a game, don't go telling everyone it's your bedtime and it's time for the opposing team to quit, you chose to start the game in the first place, man/woman up and accept your responsibility that you are going to play a full game. That is kid shit.
It's sad what people will sacrifice in their personal lives to just get one point of victory. What about the memory of the fight?
Those always last longer than some irrelevant win or loss. Epic fights for epic experiences, and memories. I remember a few memorable fights over the years, yet it really comes down to who see's these fights out that makes these memorable fights happen.
Lag is a part of playing sins online, don't piss and moan when it occurs because you are enjoying an awesome tactical situation that few games can provide.
This wasn't about a victory point for me, because they owned all the territory, and no way in hell was I going to take time to take out AI's...but these new players (and some of them old as well...) are just so focused on these meaningless stats that they let them over rule their fun. They engage in epic fights, but then realize their computers can't handle it midway...after trash talking the other team's ears off. There is a word for this: idiots.
In the end, Daknife got the victory point, and not surprising, he didn't boast or piss or moan.
An example for the others on his team.
sareth what you wrote was not good. All other games can't go the way you want them to.
Who else thinks riddleking didn't read it?
All I see is two trolls failing to troll each other...
Sareth don't try to dodge my advice with the oldest trick in the book. Everything you said was good and motivating but it was also >>>
Its no surprise that most of the responses where negative towards you.
Seleuceia go back in your troll hole.
Well, technically they do have the right, but they are totally ignorant and dishonorable. You can buy a new computer right now and pay it off later via newegg...Even if you are exceedingly poor (which I am). You play online, you ruin everyone's experience if your computer can't handle it. I'm sure many game designers, especially the developers of sins will quietly agree with me (for many other reasons) that people should upgrade their computers.
Other annoyances are the fact that games are still made for the old machinery, so old limits stifle innovation because there is only so much you can do with those limited resources. People upgrading their machines allows the game market to thrive, so the incentive to innovate is there because it impacts the developer's bottom line.
If people don't upgrade their rigs, nobody wins. I for one gain incredible benefit from my computer, far outweighing the cost that my ancestors would have had to pay for a similar, inferior service.
If you and other reader's don't recognize this, then you are living in almost total ignorance. Note the use of the "If, Then" statement, I don't want to have to tolerate ignorant angry replies to this and will result in a well deserved backlash.
Ignorant.
Cause buying a new computer to play games, when you are exceedingly poor, is the smartest idea ever. So is indebting yourself to get things you dont necessarily need for life in general...
And good luck trying to get something from Newegg shipped to Europe. Not everyone around here lives in US, you know.
He has no vision or the scope to understand..thats how i know his micro and macro sucks in sins or any other game no matter how good he fairs against average players.
I live under a bridge, thank you very much....
LOL this thread is still going, congrats to the trolls and mighty crapcarpet himself. His ignorance is as entertaining as his behaviour in game.
Loving the "buy new rig" comment when crapcarpet himself was lagging just as bad / worse with 100% CPU usage. Lack of comprehension of game limitations ftw...
Keep the thread the going!

Going going going....
I would much rather buy myself a new bridge to live under than buy a new processor to reduce ping.....

You will never discover my smurfs!!!
Unless Candido blabs -__- never should've told him
I know all your furry smurfs, there is no escape or room for deception!
You don't know any of my smurfs.
If you speak of a a certain asian cat, then you are mistaken. That is not a smurf.
My smurfs are never going to be discovered
mhmhm asian cat, yum yum
Can you introduce me?

A fucking Snow Leopard. It is an alternate. I only use it when I am drunk.
I use my main when I am high on weed.
Yes, I will say that I'm ignorant of a great deal, I do however try to remedy that every day.
That being said, I'm not in debt by buying a computer, I'm budgeting my annual income vs. doing it on a month to month cycle. I am poor based upon the US poverty line, yet I enjoy many things that those with far higher salaries do not, including no taxes and plenty of free time(which I consider to be far more valuable than money, yet my values differ from many).
I live in an area that is economically depressed yet i have a well paying job, so although I may be "impoverished" in the official sense, I am actually not. I have a good amount of buying power, and probably more disposable income per month than many people posting here.
but then, I don't have kids.
I don't have kids
My bridge is just getting a bad signal due to the costruction work.
they'll take YEARS to finish, so i'd better move out
so behave and don't continue to assume or judge people with arrogant lines like
If your poor and judging those below you then there's something wrong with you. Your assuming people are poorer than you without evidence so there's something clearly wrong with you.
There is a big difference between being poor financially, and being poor in learning. Also, the poor are generally kept in check by the rich by providing ways for the poor and the poorer to think of themselves as better then each other. After all, if the poor were to unite, the rich would have to give concessions.
I am just participating in this time honored tradition for fun. After all, who doesn't love a little pointless forum drama.
