Has any one ever actually completed a full game?

I have started many games, but really not have ever completed one game. I have started many and after 200 to 300 turns i start a new one, and each time i do that i get so much better at the game. Now i am currently in a game that has Lasted for 460+turns and devising some new tactics so i might actually finish this game.

Actually I have completed a game... once. My homeworld got bottled (makes a change from "glassed"=-) by an AI 3 turns in. Game Over. Now I _always_ build a weapons platform or defence ship in my first turn

In fact, I have only played in four games - no longer than 215 turns.

It's sad isn't it? I've had the game since late January.

Noooooo!

I'm gonna have to boycott your site now until you win a game. :-)

Maybe someone can create a silly set of graphics for people to put on their websites that resembles the marks you put on airplanes when you shoot down an enemy plane? :-)

A lifetime ago back in January, I played a game or two a week and finished them all. Yeah, I'm sleeping a whole lot more these days.

I've won quite a few games... 2 with the "unmodded" game, 2 with the "TDM-Mod", and 3 with the mod I'm working on (although the AI in my current mod is pathetic I must admit... but that will change!), I've lost 3 games as well... all within the first 150 turns.... my longest game went 278.4 YEARS!

Damn, I havn't even got to turn 120 yet

Seriously though, I would love to finish a game but either a new patch or a new modpack or a good race come out and I restart.
Right now I have restarted about 12 times in the past week cause I am re-tweaking my Borg and Y'Gathian Free States shipsets and seeing how they do. (so far the Free States can mostly keep up with tdm-Xi'Chung, the Borg currently lag behind.....but they are getting better
