A question based on a recent post
in relation to this post actually:

So...how many of us actually still play PA? Is 95% fairly accurate?
I for one, do not. I haven't played since the first p2p round (r9 iirc)

Re: A question based on a recent post
i played only one round, the last one before p2p. i never even especially liked it, i mean, staying up half of the night, just to get your ass kicked by some über-alliance wasnt that much fun :/

Re: A question based on a recent post
No. I played up to r10 but not very actively. In fact i got a free account from r6 or so onwards which is the only reason i played.

Re: A question based on a recent post
Does signing up a planet count, or do you actually have to "play" it?
Regardless, I haven't played seriously since the last round before the Jolt infestation.

r2-8, never paid for it though.
It would seem the only free game of this type I haven't played is DoM.

Re: A question based on a recent post
I played round 3, then gave up about 3 days into round 4 when I realised I couldn't be bothered building all that stuff again, and then came back for about 2 weeks in the free round a while ago (but gave up for the same reasons as before).

Re: A question based on a recent post
I played up until the first P2P, which I couldn't play cause of no method of payment that I could use. Then the following round they setup pay centres incluidng one in Australia and I joined to test the waters. Sadly it wasn't the same Planetarion I had remembered and I got bored rather quickly, I can recall building up a massive fleet and not even being attacked once.
Unfortunately due to changes in strategy and player base I doubt they could successfully restore the game to its former gameplay.

Re: A question based on a recent post
played the second half of round 3 and then the whole of round 4. Didn't actually do too badly seeing as we kept getting dicked on by t8p...
Then I went to uni and wasn't prepared to pay so i quit for a year but played a free planet in round 6/7? really can't remember as after 5 weeks my girlfriend came back off holiday and i couldn't be too arsed woth it any more. Despite us doing really well... (considering no alliance except cluster for the whole gal)
Haven't even considered playing since then. That was over 22 years ago...
Was fun at the time... some people have always taken it too seriously though...

I played a round of ******** around June I think, and have to say it was probably the single most excruciatingly dull experience of my living memory.

Re: A question based on a recent post
I played R2 to R8 (I think).
R5 was the last round I played properly all the way through. For at least two rounds I just bought an account to support the game but didn't play really.

Probably never play again

Re: A question based on a recent post
played rounds 1 to 10
quit then with a nice little diatribe on the pa boards about how certain alliances had screwed up the whole game for everyone by being petty ****ing annopying little bunch of ****s and ended up in a massive argument with a couple of the pa forum regulars as they tried to defend their alliances which was a bit of fun as i was drunk as a lord at the time so really not taking it as seriously as them
wont play again though

Re: A question based on a recent post
i can remember my planets from maybe 6 of the rounds i played in, and, given the database i could find my planets easily enough as i will recognise my galaxies if i ever saw them :/
