uuhhh... my MVL character? LOL okay.

Any member who has more than 60K charcter points gets into the senate. I'm thinking about upping that number though to say 150K....

Yea, thats pretty much the way it is Kryo. However upgrading from the standard 20 GB to the new 120 GB has to give something new I hope. Shit the largest PS3 is 80 GB. But it could just be all for nothing.

And welcome to the senate MVL Player Dystopic.

The difference is that a PS3 will accept a standard HDD.

Mostly though I'm just annoyed that MS cut prices on the 20GB to clear them out, so I broke down and got one, then as soon as stock was out they cut the 60GB to the same price. :/

I had no idea they also had a 60 GB. Hell with the extra money I would save getting a 60 instead of the 120, I could buy a case of beer or Twighlight when I can find it

On a different note Kryo, 69 Karma,   My favorite number.

My first full blown DA game went well.  It's a personal best for me and it introduces me to the 1M+ club.    

I got lucky and got an economic event.  The game bogged down severely when my ship count approached 10k, so I ended the buildup early. 

I did it without using the reported DA diplomatic holes and was fairly inefficient in the early game.  It taught me a lot about the new features of DA that I'd like to take a deeper look into. 

There was one particular idea that came to mind late in the game (Year 4 as I recall) and I think it put my score over the top.  If I'm right, a 1.5M game might be on the near horizon.  We can discuss it at the ToE site while I test the idea on my next game.  I'll start one this evening with a goal of 1.2M.

Congrats Motti....awesome game! 

Sentient species taste better...

yes grats indeed, motti.

Thanks, KP and Dys.  I'm getting better feedback in our private forums than I expected.  Some things seem simple after you find them.  It's just getting to the idea that takes the effort.

I'll be starting a new game this evening using what this first game taught me.  I'm sure the next one will be enlightening too.  I have to say, I really like DA when compared to DL.  Color me a convert.   

Very informative Motti, thanks for the new twist . The hunt is on!!(as soon as I finish my MVL game that is )

Here Kitty kitty

Hi Sanin, Great to have you with us!

ZYW stands for Zero Year Win, which is a strategy used to gain alot of points in a very short amount of time. typically these games will end on April 8th of the 0 year of the game. You use a very specific method to achieve this goal but within that method there are many variations.

Some games can yeild over 100K for less then 10 mins game time.

For more info on the ZYW or the Mumbler strategy and plenty of other tips head on over to the Tyranny site at...
