2007-01-06 |  | A Tale of Three UWs |  |
Many called me crazy, many called me insane. Those who knew me best, of course, didn`t bother, as they already knew it to be true.
From the start, I knew that it was a longshot to successfully drive home all three UWs that I was doing. Ultra and slow were carefully planned, slow for about 8 months, ultra since my account was created, about 485 days before I started the UW. Fast, while I had planned to do it for a while, had had most of my plans fall to ruin. I was originally planning to attempt to explore it out until somebody brought me down, as it is impossible to do an explore UW without heavy support. I definitely did not realize the support that DotV would give to their new member. Nor did I expect the viciousness with which empire and laputa came at me with on ultra.
While I had planned these UWs for a long time, the timing was, in itself, rushed. I decided several months ago that January 7th was the deadline by which any UW I would attempt on fast or ultra must be completed, as I simply cannot afford to play the game very actively anymore. My fourth and final college semester begins on monday, the 8th, and embedded programming project I have staring at me in the face is not one that I can afford to, or even want to, distract my attention from.
But enough for the story. HUGE thanks goes out to a number of people for these UWs. (Due to this being multiple servers, some may appear on both lists.)

99+ day(s) ago | Ahahaha, too bad for you HB that my support actually did more damage to me than anybody else. I was at 866 mill PR of pure fodders, if you recall, before civic took me down based on a miscommunication. Miscommunication between my allies killed my ultra weapon, multiple times, not my enemies... though they DID certainly help. I`m fairly certain that a 1.2 bill PR UW, as originally planned, would have presented you with some `minor` difficulties. |

99+ day(s) ago | *was very sad to see no UW on RT... =/

Deiloche
99+ day(s) ago | I know you supported, Dk... the thanks went out to those who did the biggest workload. You helped me through not attacking me... you didn`t actually get a chance to attack anybody. |
quaint
99+ day(s) ago | ok DkCivic, you do it
on condition you are fedless when it blows you got our support, and smiley won`t empty his arti`s on you :-)
ultra needs it! |
Africa
99+ day(s) ago | lol..dk. I still want your clusters. Why dont you try a uw so you can transfer them to me..or is that smiley I should turn too.. Im always confused about this part.. |
DarckKnight
99+ day(s) ago | you're a juicy fella dkcivic =P |
DarckKnight
99+ day(s) ago | i believe i never been that long online during uw's must have been more than 30 hours >.< |
DkCivic
99+ day(s) ago | Awww....No mention of DK! :(
Well I guess that is what I deserve for taking down Africa and a mate to take down Balzac! :/ Sorry I had to take them down but enough was enough! I already told you I was 100% in support of you and your UW but your guards seems to be more interested on my clusters at that time! If they had not attacked me while I was building a fleet to support the UW then I am sure your UW would have been a success!
Too bad but a good try! |
Smiley
99+ day(s) ago | I guess more and more of us wants a blow or 10, as UWs is cleaning the air...! Then the question is, who is fighting an UW and why? This was a pretty neutral UW (as few would loose only 50% of their minerals/cash) - and then all active players would regenerate so fast again. All the inactive players with billions stored up would get weaker, but so what?
Ok, so I will not use a single artifact (thats my last strength on Ultra) on UWs carried out of one of the weaker federations or without a federation. I dont want tabbies or the pervs to do an UW as that only would make them stronger - so those artis is worth hundreds of historias/mdineros if nessesary. |
Smiley
99+ day(s) ago | Hmmmm, so who can carry out an successful UW on Ultra? I really believed you could hold it a bit longer, dangerous to sleep during an ultra UW, things happens fast. I told you I would support you (or neutral UWs in general), but usually the last 20 hours is the difficult ones (when it comes to artis) and then you already was dead I guess?
Who is next? With your amount of supporters/neutrals i really believed even an aminer could do it....
cant more of you try UWs? I cant as I prefer to have enemies instead of friends in this game, and an UW without loads of friends/supporters/neutrals is pretty hard. |

99+ day(s) ago | ha you`re more than welcome, congrats on the achievement, it was dang funny to help out so much, and DotV rules! =)
so does the tabby cats and M|K btw ;-) |
EvilLoof

alex01
99+ day(s) ago | well done del, and to all your helpers who did a good job of neutralizing all threats. it was fun :) |
Travvivian
99+ day(s) ago | I sincerely wish that I still had the time to pull all-nighters with you guys, like old times. But I don`t. I`m glad I was abled to contribute what I could. Anyway, I`m proud of ya mate. =] |
AlphaCentauri
99+ day(s) ago | yea who was the first guy to start pikcing of attackers :P |
Deiloche
99+ day(s) ago | Actually loof, you missed the first 12 hours and 10 in between... you almost missed half the UW, lol. Despite that, I think you didn`t get much more sleep than I did... ahahaha. |
DarkEmpire
99+ day(s) ago | congrats dev, though i didnt participate in fast and ultra since i`m not active on those server, but nevertheless i`m still glad the slow is successful, it proves that M | K still rules even after a year =)
well i know that you are quiting ultra and maybe fast no? hehe but dont ever think of quiting slow XD |
EvilLoof
99+ day(s) ago | Grats Dev!
I honestly believed you would pull off all 3 uw`s, as i know you very well, but yea well at least you got two of `em, sry i couldnt provide the normal one to go along with but well made my empire to be a ninja not a uw holder heh. Anyways grats great job, but well im not suprised, your one of the best players on the game ever, two uw`s aren`t too much to ask :P
And im mighty happy the slow one got home, as you would ban me to hell if it didnt, as it would have been my fault for only being on 32 hours of it and not 48 ;) |
