My Comic Start
Some people would consider me an old hand at planetarion. Sure I have been around the block, a few times, much like Jenny, you know Jenny from the block. Jennefir Lopez.
Anyway I am going off the point.
So I am in Ascendancy.
It is a cracking alliance, full of cracking individuals.
Except before tick 1 and before midday there wasn't a word said in the alliance channel.
One day I popped in and asked for some help.
"When's ticks"
"Are we playing"
"Buddypacks?"
And ofc the obligatory what is the best race to choose.
This particular day there happened to be one person around and active.
It was Alki. Alki by all intensive purposes was fantastic. He answered all my questions, and even advised me on which race to go for and what ships to build. I was excited, this was it. I became so excited that I forgot to signup. The clock was ticking on the Friday, so I signed up on my mobile phone. I chose the race Alki suggested. Fantastic. Account upgraded, I made the ticks. Brilliant.
Tick 49 I was idling in Ascendancys channel. Everyone was showing off "I have this many roids, my stockpile is this big, my penis is this wide" you get the idea.
Still unsure what I was actually doing I asked for advice. I wanted to know how good Terran was, Battleships for the win right etc. The channel erupted with laughter.
Apparently Terran is a shit race, and anyone who listens to Alki can only blame themselves. But there was hope, as you can roid comfortably with terran. I was fairly happy but made sure I pushed the blame on Alki. Sure my round with terran would be tough, sure it wasn't the best race. But I could trooper on and play it!
<pig> I could have sworn I heard alki
<pig> or someone say terran were awesome
So I still don't really know what is going on, new stats, new races, population, new skins. Christ this is like a new game.
So trying to look cool I attempt to join in with the conversation on planetarion. I make a quip about choosing democracy as my population government.
To which a couple joked and said "Haha very funny pig" (Not in those words, but you get the drift.)
To which I replied:
<pig> Is democracy wrong?
It was then I found out that being Terran and selecting democracy at tick 0 was indeed wrong. Not only was it wrong, but it was mental. Bloody stupid. I couldn't get into the top 500 playing that way, let alone the top 50.
I pondered.
I reset my account.
I am an idiot.
So the moral of the story is ladies and gentleman. Firstly don't listen to Alki. Secondly don't trust Ascendancy for a piece of advice, they will only ignore or trick you, or worse still they won't be online. Finally read the manual, god it takes about 30 seconds, why didn't I ever think to do that.

Re: My Comic Start
hehe, being in a galaxy with a couple of ascendency people last round was great fun, mainly for the reasons above.
Pig, if you're looking for some material, there is a Race and Fleet discussion here, and a Guide to Governments here, if you want another perspective than Alki or your own .

Re: My Comic Start
Alki sure is cuddly. I'm kind of surprised the nice chaps in asc weren't more helpful though.
Actually come to think of it, maybe not!
