So Long from Gandalph

[Gandalph]

A change in my real life and a general lack of interest, both by myself and many other players, has made me decide to drop SEIV for the time being. I have very little time on my hands these days and wish to more actively participate in the Beta testing for SEV.

I am currently involved in 5 PBW games:

Dimension X Home World Wars; 2408.4, I am Partnered with a very strong empire and no longer have any enemies near me. This race is in a sort of support role with my partner wherever need arises.

Power Game III Gold Rush; 2411.1, There are only 3 races left. I am #2 and am partnered with another race against a very large empire. We are currently in a truce while establishing borders for the impending major battles, battles that will no doubt clog the server.

Power Game V A Fool for Trek; 2406.3, I am the Federation in this one and have a very good position. Many players dropped so those remaining are mainly battling AI empires. I believe there are only 4 active players left in this one and politics can play heavily with those left.

Star Trek Final Frontier III; 2408.3, I am the Romulans in this one. I started with a crappy position and it shows. The Ferengi are over running me on one front and the Feds and bad worm holes have stopped me in the other direction. This one would be good for anyone who likes to play the underdog role.

The Great Experiment III; 2418.7, I took over a major empire here. Politics are heavy in this one as well. I must admit that I have missed the last 4 turns, so complete status info will be missing until you open the turn.

I will be dropping any game not taken over by Sunday afternoon. My apologies go out to any player hurt by this decision, but I must do what I must do.

If you are interested in taking over for any of these games you may PM me and I can give you better details.

So Long For Now,
Gandalph

See you later, and have fun beta testing.

[Captain Kwok]

See you around.

At the latest when SEV is out http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Goodbye for now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Hope to see you around sometime soon.

[Fyron]

You can't stay away forever!

[Thermodyne]

See ya Gandalph. Work hard on SE5 and give us a bug free roll out http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Grandpa Kim]

Yep, see ya later, man. You'll be missed. Good luck to you.

[Gandalph]

Thank you all, but I haven't seen anybody volunteer for games yet. I think this only proves my point of lack of interest in PBW and SEIV.

Sorry, but no time for them. Too many 16 hour work days of late. That's what happens when you are out sick for six weeks.

[Renegade 13]

I'm already kept busy taking care of my 7 games, or else I'd take one or two off your hands. But I do believe you are correct about the declining interest in PBW http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Good luck and take care Gandalph http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

So long Gandalph. I wish you well and hope to see you back again!

I am just reading this now. An update on the DimX game mentioned below. A new turn for this has just run and the description may not apply any longer.

I could also take one of your game over. Will Email.

Good luck and best wishes to you, Gandalph. You will be coming back when SEV is finished, right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Possum]

Laters, Gandalph! Take care!

I don't have Gold, so I can't fill in for you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

As you guys can tell from my once-a-quarter posting habits, I'm not very active in this community anymore either.

But SE4 still has a special place in my gamer's heart. I mostly play against the computer, in odd little scenarios or mods I've cooked up myself.

I do things like stack the deck against myself as heavily as I can, then see how long I can hold out. Even that gets old, as most races lack that real go-for-the-throat killer instinct.

Or I'll get a wild idea, and slap together a quick-and-dirty little mod to explore the idea with.

Heh.

[Parasite]

I took over The Great Experiment. I also took over in a different way in DimX as "Gandalph" now has three planets left and they should fall within two turns. Power Game III has no replacement needed.

The other two are Mod Games and are still looking for people.

I salute you Gandalph as the best of allies. Supporting each other in all things and falling quickly and easily when the time comes. Goodbye again.
