    hey guys-n-gals,
    With the current round of planetarion over and a new one starting, how about we all get together for an alliance?
    The ideas been brought up before in irc atleast, but I was wondering what other ppl thought of the idea?

    Sure I'd be up for joining a good strong alliance.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,199 ✭✭✭Jimi-Spandex


    I am up for that

    We should have a sign on our name revealing this alliance.

    Karnidge.ie par example

    just my morning sarcism (its very easy to be critical and i had a late nite) but how about the name we had on our galaxy

    Was just in there and there was no one there is there ever anyone there??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,316 ✭✭✭ButcherOfNog


    i would, but the person running it would need to know what they are doing, and just recruiting any gob$hite from the boards cause they are irish isn't a good idea if you want to surive the first month.

    show me your plans, let me think about it smile.gif


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭Snaga


    Butcher,

    we havent even got that far. Ive only been playing a few weeks and only got involved in some minor skirmishes. This was just an idea to throw at ppl before the restart.

    If anyone with experience with the game wants to head up this thing then post post POST! wink.gif

    We would have to decide whether we are going to join up into seperate semi-autonomous 'cells' or have one big ginormous thing. But thatll be up to whoevers in charge and would have to be decided after most ppl are signed up, i.e. if 2 ppl are in the same galxy or cluster itd make sense to watch each others backs etc...

    A good way to run an offensive/defensive alliance is proper organisation. Preferably through IRC. Say one of us is attacked. Some of us sends fleets to defend, while others send fleets to make mince meat of the attackers planets

    Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭Snaga


    ok well how about all interested parties meet in that planetarion.ie channel on the planetarion irc network on saturday or sunday night and we'll try and nail down things like, name (I like dev's suggestion - Gael Force), and who would like to take certain positions.

    Some suggestions,
    o No need to add any identifier to our nicks.
    o When we register we let each other know in irc what galaxies we are in, and pair ppl who are closer(same galaxy\cluster) into sub groups as they can get to each other quicker etc..

    o Anything else we can come up with in irc.


    Anyone who was doing pretty well in the last round who would like to take a leading role drop in and say so smile.gif

    I have been playing Planetarion since she was in beta not too long ago indeed

    but I'd really love to see how you play to pull off an alliance where everybody is in different galaxies

    aside from offencive group attacks

    <incoming hostile fleet; eta 4 hrs>

    ask for re-enforcements

    < incoming friendly fleet ETA 8 hrs >

    Gael Force - Weren't they an all-female Irish Group? :-)

    im in fer it, we should have our own channel and everything


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭Snaga


    With the new tech tree there are special technologies you can go for that exclude other techs. For eample....
    If you dont want the strongest defence you can get the fastest warp type, making travel anywhere at 2 hrs + the speed of the slowest ship.

    We would have to get some ppl to go seperate routes, with fast action fleets for situations like that, and members who went a different tech route (better attack) could be used for our counter attacks.

    Its a simple example but it could work once we keep in good contact with each other in irc. Ill see if i can find any more info on the tech tree and post a link to it here.

    goto http://www.geocities.com/gegegwt/spinner.txt to find out some more. (Spinner is the creator of Planetarion)

    I'll go for an alliance, was in the EA last round. Sadly EA won't run in the new round.

    Yes, Gael Force was an all girl band. This puts something of a downer on the name, especially given that they were all mingers. smile.gif

    Ja,

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭Civilian_Target


    There are LOADS of Irish people I know in Planetarion (about 40) in a big IRISH alliance called viper (including me!) so why not join in.

    For informative purposes could you post a url for your webby or an irc channel. At the very least we could keep in contact.

    On another note......

    ITs been very quiet on the alliance front, but Im willing to put that down to everyone trying to get there own planets up and running. I just though id pop the topic back up so pp, dont forget!
