i'm too impatient, join "Theta Harmal"

Looks simple enough, doesn't it?

This game is also known as: How to lose friends

Neptune's Pride is a game that I managed to discover randomly just recently. It's a very basic multiplayer 4x (read: civilizationy) game in space, where up to 8 or so players are given some star systems in a galaxy. The economy, industry, and combat portions of the game are all just math, and it is really just an enormously stripped down 4x game in space.

Yet for some reason it is more evil than any other game in existence. It apparently will occupy your entire day. Some people will not be able to sleep.

For an explanation of what this game apparently does to human beings, read this:

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/03/18/the-complete-pride-and-falls/#more-27183

Being the curious Machiavellian asshole that I am, I was wondering if any other TL people would be interested in signing up for a round to see what it is like. Because surely nobody's going to be that much of a douchebag in game. Right?

Here's the webpage: http://np.ironhelmet.com/

And here's a quote from a review:
It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion. You get to see every single detail of the sudden violence in front of you, and there’s little you can do to stop it. Except when there is, and you get to feel like a god slowing down time, allowing you to react faster than you have any right to. It’s gaming as the master of time, manipulating things to benefit yourself. Except you’re not the only timelord on the pitch, and everyone else gets the same advantage that you do. Every single emotion you feel is amplified to an unbearable degree. Each victory is that much sweeter, every defeat infinitely more crushing. You form plots like some sort of deranged Machiavelli, engineering circumstances until your enemies are locked in a chessmate, just open for you to manipulate and black mail.


Having read all the warnings, who's up for this shit.

Im currently reading the RockPaperShotgun report on their 8player-game. And it's a brilliant read. So much scheming, planning and drama.

I'll finish reading the game report in a day or two, and then decide if I want to play there. Either way, it looks really cool, and I hope I have the time to join in on a game.

While I think that I will be sticking with Sins of a Solar Empire and Galactic Civilizations 2 by Stardock, this was quite a good read and I am glad that I was introduced.
There is but one truth.

It seems everyone needs credits to join a premium game. I'm sure that first method of yours will work just fine though.

EDIT: Oops, I see what you mean now. I still think we'll get by just fine with the first method.

Do the first method, we would all have to pay to get into a premium game.

This game looks sickening. I'm thoroughly enjoying the RPS article on it. Reminds me a lot of OGame but entirely different.
