Are you up for a challenge? Religious empire with angry neighbours needs new dictator

[Ruatha]

Hi there again.
I don't have access to my e-mail so you'll get your welcome mail here instead! (am currently working, can't you tell )

Please present yourself on the game forum for the other players, they're "dying" to know you.

If you have any questions or want all the shipsets mailed to you let me know.

I'll need a mail from you sent to me to validate your e-mail (and to process through the "anti-cheater machine").
The mailadress is on the PBW game page, Ruatha, playing for the swedish empire.

Will be home from work tomorrow and will answer any mails then.

Seems we need another replacement - Tnarg (Nether'norS) just withdrew without further explanation. Do you have more infos, Ruatha?

[Ruatha]

Not really, don't know why he quit and I haven't met the Nerther'norS Empire in the game so I don't know what kind of empire it is.
It's at postition 8/20 and it's up for grabs!
First one to claim it gets it!

I will send you a mail Ruatha, as soon as I manage to get my own mail working. It *should* be the case in a few hours at worst. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I guess we will see if this Empire is endagered or not in a few turns, at least if I am slaughtered I could say it was the fault of the previous player.

As the previous owner was me, I am affraid you'll probably get slaughtered. Your empire is healthy on research/production, with a good expansion, but very low on warships. Anyway that is not the problem.

I had a mail exchange in July with Ruatha where I told him I was not a fan of early extermination campaigns, so I intended to quit as the religious hunt seemed a must (I had few PBW using religious trait). Then he explained me he intended to exterminate all religious races in the game ASAP. So, I tryed to finish previous agreed deals, to prevent harming other players who counted on me for "something" before bailing out.

Also, just before I jumped out, a player downgraded his TR treaty to TA, another went at war suddenly "because I was too near his homeworld" , and it seems Ruatha has joined the fray. You are alone facing an alliance whose leader is a dangerous veteran. Maybe you should consider leaving this empire to his fate and try instead tnarg's empire (if he is not religious).

You'll probably play longer. Anyway I learned in this game that a 20 players game is not for me. I'll stick to 10 players max.

See ya in another life...

Thanks for the warning! I saw what was the situation, you are playing in a manner quite similar to mine, very focused on research rather than on military.

As for the situation, it would depend on how much forces are the enemy alliance willing to engage, or if diplomacy can be a success. If not, then the Empire is in serious trouble, on its own against two other powerful Empires with virtually very few warships.

I'm not sure though if I should be playing the other Empire instead. Would you agree Ruatha? (If you do, I will consider it.)

[Ruatha]

Sure, just quit the game and reapply for the other empire.

I'm as stated committed to killing all religious races I meet in any game I'll ever play, based on bad experiance with them!
But I have never succeded in killing any one religious race in any game (Have finished two games so far (and two games has been shut down due to other reasons), and in this game there seems to be so many religious races that I might have to give up on my quest of extermination

I guess there will be one or two other races availible next turn too.

Yep, Unknown_enemy taht's correct, you forewarned that you where going to quit, but in Adamant 009 you're still playing a religious race, and you haven't been any target of extermination there have you ?( I would have done it if I thought I had the strength to succed )
