| PLUS Problems Nov 6th 11:45pm |
| If you have any problem with a tokens or PLUS purchase please use: http://x.hellbored.com/paypal/index.php. In 99% of the reported cases it is because you paid using what PayPal calls an "eCheck". It will take a few days (or maybe even more) to "complete" at which time you will be credited. You may be able to contact PayPal to ask them how to can speed up the process of it clearing but we can not help with that side of things. Note for future rounds it'd be best to purchase any tokens/PLUS keys early before the round starts so you can have them ready for the start. - Andy |

There are now forums for the entire game. Check them about by clicking "Forums" in the above menu or simply click here. The idea with having both an Orbit forums and separate round forums is so you can stay in contact with people (friends, alliance members) easily over different rounds and important information isn't lost when a round ends. This is the first step towards that goal. Next up is a combination of your own profiles with information about each of your round accounts and historical stats/data such as finishing places in past rounds as well as uploading your profile pictures and adding each other as friends.

Aug 10th 1:43am Round 7 Winners Congratulations to the official winners of round 7 1st place - Styolz 2nd place - Bundogy 3rd place - Roy Chross If you haven't been paying attention to the forums in the round then here is some news for you. Jeff (who some may remember from earlier rounds) has returned as Manager. In this role he will manage the staff and be community liaison. This round marks the last for Straith as a developer. I will be handling development for the time being. There will be a couple of changes for next round. I'll make another announcement when a start date is set for the new round. Until then enjoy Chaos Mode (+1 tick every 5 minutes). - Andy |

The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. -Winston Churchill - King Fo0 |

| May 22nd 1:53pm Round 7 is underway and running A-OK A quick (and final) mention about a rule everyone should already know: Controlling more than one account, or allowing another person access to your account, is a violation of the Universal laws! Don't break the Universal laws and you will have a pleasant time! Thank you for your cooperation. P.S. Have your explorers found anything interesting yet? - King Fo0 |

As you may have noticed, uwars was down for many hours. At the time, Andy was on a plane (into flight from down under to the US) - that alone takes 20 hours. In short, bad timing for the server to barf! It's too hard to transfer cake on the internet, so you'll have to live with some tokens and plus days instead. +20 tokens, +5 plus days. Welcome back - Straith |

| Thanks to all the players - round 4 was pretty exciting. Round 5 is being set up right now - you'll be able to reserve your spot on a planet in just a few minutes. The first tick will be in about 24 hours from right now. - Straith |
| Round 5 Info 1/21 07:09.09 AM Working on setting up round 5 now, and I'm just going to modify Round 4 until it gets where it needs to be. (Yes, you'll get a chance to see how round 5 works a little before it happens). - Straith Thus, the next few hours will be bumpy. I'll try to make it obvious what I'm doing, but there will no doubt be a lot of "why did X happen?". First, people will wonder why they fell out of alliances. The answer will be because I forced everyone out of alliances while I work on alliance limits. The battle overhaul isn't complete (thus no beta for the battle overhaul). There will, however, be some changes to battle, and I'll probably ask people to test it out. After I'm happy with the code changes (I'll be here all day, I wager), I'll either give a little more time for the tweaks to settle, or I'll begin raining fire on all empires before I reset, and then give a 1 or 2 day time period for people to get situated for the next round. It'll be really hard for me to answer very many direct questions, but I do want to avoid confusion. Moderators can reach me, and so I'll let them pass on info and answer questions where they can. OK. Let's do this. |
| Round 4 Ends 01/12 07:03.15 PM For plenty of reasons, round 4 was exciting, right up to the end. This round stands as a tribute to the mega alliances. In the last few moments of the round, players were wondering if the 4pm tick counts as the last tick or not. I do understand both points of view. We looked at when the playing occurred and when the calculation occurred. Andy and I discussed it, and we agree that the 4pm tick does count. The game was being played up until 4, and the calculation of those actions happened at the 4pm tick. Granted, it took a few minutes for that calculation to finalize, but you can't discount last 10-15 minutes of the game (the other argument could only mean the game really ended at the 3:50pm plus tick). Therefore, my records show that the following are winners of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place: Simians (519) SIXSHOOTER (1132) ChosenOne (22163) Congratulations to the winners. The 50% rule is now turned off. I wish to see attacking with reckless abandon. A note/warning: The codebase might start changing during the next week, especially towards the end. Round 5 should be open in 1 week. I'll have more information as it's available. To those worried, yes, there'll be changes in the next round - players' issues will be addressed. Feedback was not ignored. - Straith |
