Hi, Roxas here. Just wanted to point you guys to a cool game that I found on the internet. It's called OGame, and it is a real-time-strategy space-based colonization/battle game (similar to Civilization). The cool part is that you are playing against other players over the internet.
You can join here www.ogame.org all that is needed to play is a web browser. You don't even need to download anything, and it costs nothing to play. (just like runescape)
Anyways, the game works like this: You choose a starting universe, where you start out with a bare planet and some starting materials, said materials being Metal, Crystal, and Deuterium. Using these materials, you build up your planet, creating mines to harvest more materials and shipyards to build planetary defenses and fleets. Once your planet is well defended, you can attack other player's planets using your fleets or colonise more planets to add to your empire.
This game is recommended only to those who have a lot of experience with RTS games, as well as a lot of computer time. This is because you are still playing even after you are logged out! You will continue to accumulate resources, and you are still vunlerable to attack from other players. This is a game that takes a lot of time to become powerful, as construction of ships, buildings, and defenses can take hours or even days to accomplish.
If anyone is interested in playing, visit the site for more info. I've been playing for about a day now. My account name is Lelouch V Britannia, and I play on Universe 18. My only planet is called Area 0, and it is located in Galaxy 1, system 232, Orbit 8.
If anyone decides to join, send me a message so I can add you to my buddy list.
Happy Gaming!
Roxas

Anyways, I have a strategy for getting the most profit out of a large raid. OGame rules say that you can only attack any given planet three times a day.
Actually 6. 6 times in 24 hours. You can try to pull something like 3 attacks within 15 mins or so and that counts as one.
During Wars, this rule does not apply
oh, you mentioned it lol.
Umm... I don't know where you've read the bold part but that hasn't been the case for over a year. It's just 6 attacks per planet per 24 hours. And an attack is just that, an attack. The attacks being defined as a wave of up to three fleets hitting within thirty minutes was dropped a loooooooooong time ago.
Oh, well I stand corrected. Anyways, I'm inactive on Ogame until I can fix some stuff with my computer. I'm probably going to get kicked out of my alliance for inactivity, I'lll just have to ask their forgiveness when I return.
