Finally I just said screw it, and I left the game. Good thing I wasn't the host. Pussy. Did you actually read through what he said Yes. People who drop simply because they are at some risk of losing are the type of people this game does not need. "Pussy" was the politest possible response.

Pussy.

Wasn't there a "Twilight Zone" in which a librarian wishes he would be alone, then nuclear war happens & he is alone (and he breaks his glasses)? Missed that one, but there's an absolute beauty of a Twilight Zone episode called 'A little bit of peace and quiet' about a woman who can s...

Not a huge amount of nuclear war going on there but well worth a watch...

You see nothing of the war at all in this one.

Respect to the King.

KingAl - got to within a gnat's whisker of winning, got nuked to death, quit the game after explaining he was going to go out and make wild love with a bevy of local sailors, after which he would smear himself with jam and run naked through the streets screaming 'I am the God of Love and Nuclear War...

"Alden" - shut down server with 7 minutes to go, he was clearly bored having done nothing for ages. A sub attack was just starting on the points leader too so it could have swung the game for the second place guy.

I've had three games now where nobody backstabbed, though one did get VERY tense in the last half hour with me and another guy getting very nervous about each other's subs and bombers! Was a great game and I do enjoy team wins. However having had three in a row I had to backstab in my last team game...

The silos that had fired were gone when I got back in. Fired off the other others, got booted out again, came back, all gone. CPU's tactics suck. It won't even launch fighters against submarines off the coast in plain sight.

Same here. It is making the game increasingly unplayable when a momentary network drop out can result in sync dialogs proclaiming that it will take 28 minutes for you to get back in the game. No way does it need to replay the whole thing from the start. Just pick up the state of every object in the ...

Ah so it was you that got me. Git. Mad won, Amy was second. Europe and Africa were both CPUs by the end though, bloody crappy network code.

The ancient city of Xi'an survived completely untouched, and I therefore view it as a moral victory.

Delhi lasted until the last 10 minutes before being unsportingly cleared off the map.

My rude words disappeared during one of the many disconnected periods

Dyer - try connecting to another passworded server, get the password wrong, then come back to Amy and get it right...

Apologies all. Cable modem dropped out, made 3 attempts to rejoin afterwards but each one ended up with a re-sync dialog that claimed it would take 28 minutes or so to sync... and that was after several minutes getting to that point! Don't understand why the game can't just transmit current state ra...

Another twat for the speed dood list: U235, who said he was from Australia. Total tosser - the instant I went to realtime to line up some bombers he was bitching and threatening to shut down the server, and every time from then on he said the same. Wankers like this really spoil the game. If he does...
