Greetings Friends, It has been about 10 years since i have checked in. I am wondering where all of my cohorts are now... MOR, why?, edward, nuclear cocaine, eral, R3D, battletron, Groeteschelem, Julian, 47, I Am Legion, Sfericz, John the Greek, mvpe, forever young, zorotoma, tobias, endless, etc... ...

I played with Thanatos in a diplo game. He is gaining skill but kinda a jerk (was rude to another player - what else is new in defcon?)... If everyone who rage quits and who is a jerk is banned, we won't have any to play against in the future. In any case, if Thanatos is banned I suggest we give him...

don't think they want to be me... just think they googled the biggest nuke every created. in retrospect my name was not as clever as i originally thought (baton pointed out that tb2 is not clever either)... oh well

There are a couple of Tsar Bombas out there that are giving me a bad name. One goes by Tzar Bomba (with a "z")and the other Tsar Bomba (like I spell it). I have been using "Tsar Bomba 2" lately, but i am going to permanently change to "TB2". Any other players playing by...

Dao bog da vam svima mama ispustila dušu u nekom jeftinom kupleraju! http://i.imgur.com/0aKB8.jpg The problem with dead languages is that not even Google can translate them. Can you tell me what this actually means in the tongue of your defeated people? Bridge?! Nice to know the senior community is...

Agreed...

Lets constrain comments to shakespearian style: swim with leeches thou wretched rump-fed dotard!

In all seriousness though, we are a small enough community to at least refrain from racial and homophobic bigotry.

I think F.Y. has done a tremendous job compiling this list and reviewing games on his own time - Thank You! That being said, the list is still subjective - as TOM has pointed out, again, and again, and again, and again... ah hmm... If someone wanted to undertake the task (read: not Tsar Bomba), we c...

For distance measurements I use my own in game measurement (IGU). That IGU is simply 1/2 the total distance a fighter can fly. I know some people use the grid mod, but I don’t like it for calculating large distances – especially when I just need a rough estimate. Using the IGU we can calculate how l...

Stacked don't go through aa "better" but they are more effective, here is why: silos in aa mode are most effective when they can fire numerous times at an incoming nuke. The closer that nuke is to the silo, the fewer shots the silo can take at the nuke. Stacked nukes are the best because w...

I just added a section on fighter retargeting. It is under the heading "Fighters Attacking Units."

In 1v1 games the win is often determined by who has more material going into the end game. Even a slight advantage can make the difference - maybe even one fighter. There are lots of posts on general naval strategy, bombers, and subs. The poor fighters have been sorely ignored. The Basics Fighters a...

I was a little drunk when i wrote that. My apologies to to all: especially my opponents. A win is a win. Sorry for that.

The best way is to use a little ruler. Or maybe the gridcon mod. You can too use like me you traditionnal usefull fingers as element of reference. No kidding. I don't think this works, but maybe you have a trick that makes it more useful. I have noticed many times that the nuke takes the longer rou...

I think we have all experienced that. The best way to avoid the dreaded silo-launch-split is to place your silos in an area where you know the trajectory will be the one desired and group your silos very tightly. I have tried to figure out the trajectory of various areas by placing silos in various ...
