Pirate UW Anti-Climax?

anyone else feel al the wait was for absolutely NOTHING?

Single empires doing a single large hit have killed the Pirate on 3 servers already and counting in under 2 hours of activation.


Would of been nice if it stacked like Asmo and had more than 1 planet, even 2 land gases just so a single win wouldnt be on the home world and kill the UW.

So who is with me? A more challanging/longer lasting UW event? Cos we all know it will NOT win on any server were BTC/STC/or loads of generated turns are going to be garnered easily to queen spam to the magic 10% enemy fleet destroyed even if all you have left is a single LFD after the battle and cause more damage, you have killed the UW.

Post your thoughts, but NO flaming please, be civil

yes i do drunken. i could feed the server with all the strafez i can make. but i find it pointless, the game creator rigged this attempt i feel tempted to make it fail but whats the point? it took allot for me to build what i had and its all gone in a couple hours of a uw that supose to last 48 hours. stephen could care less, altough he created the game, he knows very little about the game to be messing around with it anymore, just seems to screw up things
C {Ching}
it can still be stopped with a few btc and no straffez. Personally I don`t care I have some nuts stashed around here somewhere

unless it`s "let`s play with it a bit before i scap it"?

DarckKnight, I feel for you, you must have suffered the worst in this. Bah, what a humbug. Tthe laugh of it is that the only person who actually benefits from this is... me. If i wanted to make an explo after that, that is. I don`t need strafez for that... :/
It could be it`s my fault, Loof. It`s in not leaving this game long long time ago, when grass was greener and we actually could do something. Grrrr

Nice one, rag
D DrunkenMasters
ok another bug, why don`t I have counters?

yea, how ironic that anfit discovered a UW artifact on normal, detonates the UW , then lost it after 24 hours to the pirates.

But the pirates needed more than 24 hours so they wouldn`t get hit by every freaking person in the galaxy and have time to prepare their statement. So they called a UW mechanic to install a "stop" button on the artifact, which they promptly pushed.

After they issued the statement, they couldn`t figure out how to start it again because installing a "stop" button on a UW artifact has never been tried before. Installing a stop button on such artifacts was highly unorthodox procedure and was bound to cause problems. So they called in the UW mechanic to install a "go" button, which he did and they promptly pushed.

He then had the gall to charge them an ungodly amount of money, as opposed to a godly and righteous amount of money. As the pirates were highly religious at heart and didn`t want to be sent to the black hole in the sky where ungodly people go when they die, they promptly refused payment, shot the guy on the spot in order to avoid a dent in their perfect credit score for non payment of bills, and prayed to the Giant Spaghetti Monster for forgiveness.

Unfortunately, the Giant Spaghetti Monster wasn`t too pleased about this turn of events so he promptly blew up all their border planets on all servers and removed the ability to explore for more, thus allowing for the prompt destruction of the UWs.

Unfortunately, the UW mechanic was also a super genius hacker who managed to hack the normal server galaxy. He rigged the whole galaxy so that if he ever perished, 90% of the ships in the galaxy would explode and the entire strafez and food supply would turn into tiny nuggets of super dense cat food. When this happened, most of it was promptly eaten by Ultra`s infinitely hungry pet cat (why u think he buys so much food?).

Hence the reason why the Giant Sphagetti Moster was foiled on Normal Server and why the server is screwed.
D DrunkenMasters
and the strafez lmao! btw darck, you got any fez clusters?
D DarckKnight
why fight it at normal? theres no point, everybody lost their fleets at the start of the uw
S SilveraRepublic

E EvilLoof

It`s a uw that goes off every 6th hour and wipes 90% of your fleet and one mineral, till you got nothing left? we just killed it fast enough on the other servers but normal failed to do it so it`s getting raped. That would be fun thou lol
D Deathroe
If all the Pirate UWs are over - then why are they in DP ?????
O OpusDei
lma0 drg33 and zenith
S Skorpion
...that was quite unenjoyable and yes that was the planned extent of it. Anything else that happens will be improv...
S Schaijk
On normal the pirate will win because there are no strafez minerals anymore. On top of that nobody has any queens/runners left.
U UberPansy
personally I wasn`t real excited for it anyways so I don`t really care... just more of a lol-what-was-stephen-thinking type of event
B Biohazard
wonder what`s gonne happen next.
D drgnrbrn33
I don`t think they meant for it to be a true UW type event, just a warm up to a slobber-knocker for later. patience grasshoppers, patience.
Z Zenith
Later there were several empire`s greeted with a message from the pirates stating, `We will activate the Overmind Project if the galaxies empires do not bow before us. Our new ships leave us undefeatable so do not refuse us.`

Oh darn. Undefeatable ships.
