The Grudge-Match of Doom - (trashtalk/game progress)

Taking Gas is always risky. Can give you some nice huge ones, but one should never underestimate the power of the moons (for shipyards).

You still own more systems than we do, pluss all (most off) your Rock planets should be colonized by now and new organic ships are only a dime a dozen. Maybe I just should hold of relaxing a bit more

On a more serious note...hey, Alneyan, remember the problems we had doing gifts and trades in the match with Gecko and (Grand) Master B.? Well, it's happened 4 or 5 times now in this game

. I don't mind being horsewhipped by you guys but there's no need for the game to jump into the fray as well!

So, how's trading/gifting going for you guys? Any similar problems?

No such problem this time around. Do you make and accept trades as the very Last thing in the turn? I am not sure if you should add something to the default message or not though.

I made sure we did them the way it worked between us in that game. I go through the entire log first...moving ships, looking at fly-swatting, checking retro-fits, etc. Then I accept the trade. Then I work on production. SO, I put the answer (that I never change the text on) in the middle.

Thought the trade bug was fixed in 1.91

Changing the message don�t seem to cause any problems. Since the trade bug was discovered I have always made sure any diplomacy is the absolutely Last thing I do before hitting F12. Never had any problems since.

Well, it's definitely NOT working and damned if I can figure out why! Yet ANOTHER turn where I have replied "Accept" to give Battle Cruisers to Mark (and get something from him) and yet another turn where the entire trade was completely ignored! Nothing transferred. And believe me, I absolutely stare at the "Accept" button on the trade when I click and read the text it supplies in the message area after the click. It's as if someone turned off tech trading for us

I realize our position looks bleak but this pisses me off!

Maybe we could get Joachim (or Geo) to rerun the turn offline and try to figure out whats going on.
