Wow, it's been a LONG time since I've played this. I remember the days that I played sooo much 1000AD. Back in the day, I played Astro...uuuhh...not sure what it's name was, but boy was it fun.

I personally prefer less crowded inboxes, and with so many members, I think it'd be a real headache if everyone communicates in circulars. However, some people prefer otherwise, so here's the poll for that.

No idea the best way to do this one, never had 100+ people in an alliance before.

This is just for me, I'm not sure if they are helping anyone, so if no one cares, I can just stop altogether.

Hey, I'm TGxExiled in ogame =p

Firstly, circulars messages should only be used by people with high rank to declare emergencies/important notices. Most common chat should be in IRC, since most people can join it VIA applications(mIRC/X-Chat) or web browsers. And someone should make a small forum to keep previous announces.

My two cents.

You can go out of vacation mode if you verify your account. Just click "Options" in the top bar and go to "Extended" If you remove the tick and click "Use settings", you leave vacation mode.

Next, don't forget to activate your mines, they will be at 0% when exiting vacation mode.

Yeah, most of the circulars are just chatter and IRC would be better for those. You will also get a response quicker.

I'm not sure what you mean by that question, you can recall at any time if that's what you mean.

How about OGame related stuff but not OGame related chatter?

Emergencies, announcements, trading etc.

So we just need someone to start the IRC channel. If you are familiar with IRC and administering IRC channels then just start one so we can all join in for chat.

I'm working on reading up on quakenet, but I suck at IRC (and reading comprehension apparently). If anyone is familiar and wants to do it, they can probably do it 10 times faster than me.

for the short term we can just use the channel "liquid" on quakenet. I'm not sure who actually owns the channel but we just use it for now

Man I played this for a bit but pretty much stopped instantly when fleetsaving came up, its a retarded mechanic and I refuse to play a browser game where I need to time my logins to certain times.

Ok, I have a question. How the hell do we keep getting more energy with out having to make solar plants everytime we need energy?

You'll eventually want to make solar satellites, but for the early times, crystal and deuterium are much harder to come by. Generally you can switch over to pure solar satellites for energy after Solar plant 20 or so. Just remember solar sats can be destroyed, so make sure you have adequate defenses.
