Unbelievable that I tried to start one in 2019. Thought it was either last year or 2020. Just shows how time flashes by that it was 3 years ago. Where does it go!
We seem quite active at the moment so maybe try again. Even if it is just two person teams. I remember Rabid playing by himself and gave him an award. Not because he's unfriendly :D but others in the team deserted so he took us on, and was a one man slaughterhouse.
Only needs eight. Peter and I, against three others. We smash the hell out of each other in the usual games, no prisoners taken, but in a campaign we are a team. Like two comfort blankets in our old age.:D
So we meet you in the arena. Remember this can go on for two months (used to be even longer!) So only sign up if you last the course.
Oops my memory is going. We had one in 2019, we won!
Maybe time hasn't gone that quick, phew!
Looked at the last campaign thread and it said 2019, remember trying to get one together so thought it was that but it is later in the thread I tried, just didn't make a new post, tacked it on the end of the last. New one created now. Still, we didn't have one in 2020 or 2021.
Hi everyone. I'm pretty new here. Still getting to grips with the finer details of this game. But if anyone wants me on their team, I promise to give %100!
Xeno mercilessly schooling you though? I find that strange, he normally mercilessly blows everyone up with grenades! :)

I'm Mr Nice Guy in the forum, will give anyone help and tips. But on the battlefield, I give no quarter. Although Ethereal Slayer has asked for none. He's learning the hard way, but he's dishing it out also and giving me a run for my money.
Please include me in campaign if you need to make up the numbers. If someone better player like henoh or someone pick them though. Don't want to disadvantage some poor marsec toting person

Good to have you Thrash.
That's 8. Anymore? Some can have three, maybe the newbies.
Have we actually got 8?! I'll start the campaign tomorrow! :)

The campaign has started, please join a faction now. (The button is on the Galaxy Map page). I've not allowed any attacking yet, I thought it best to wait until all the teams are properly organised (and populated).

I see what you mean. Another small bug fixed now. :o And you're now in a different faction.
Posted by SteveSmith 309 days ago [Login to reply]
Hi Steve, can you move me into Xeno's Faction please? It's a tradition that I would like to keep up. No tactical advantage over other Factions, just a fun thing.
Okay, I'll fill them all in as you're not the first person to mention this. (It was like this for the last few campaigns but nobody seemed to mind then?)

That was quick!! Thanks Steve :)
I think before the victory conditions were who held the most corners, but now it?s how many sectors ? So it makes more difference now. I may be wrong!
I think for previous campaigns, we decided on a fixed end date, and the winner is who has the most sectors at that point. I'll propose the end of May (31st)?
Posted by SteveSmith 306 days ago [Login to reply]
Yes good idea Steve. 31st May plenty of time to battle without it getting wearing.
Steve, have the votes come in on allowing people to join after the campaign has started? I really did think you had agreed it was a no after previous debates on this issue. Feels like Deja Vu once again, once again.
I think we can safely say that Omni Corp has won. Peter and I stand victorious.
I think the vote was about 2 votes for and 2 against, so I've left it as it is. Don't forget there's still 6 days of the campaign left, unless you can get all 4 corners.

Thanks for asking Pete! I?m fine, I was just away with no device to play SF on. Got back yesterday but can?t seem to attack/defend on the campaign map, is it over??
Ah, it looks like there's an old feature that removes players from factions that don't log in for 7 days. Let me know which faction were you in and I'll re-add you. The campaign ends Tuesday night.

Thanks Steve. I think I was in Marsec. I?m confident we can win by Tuesday ;)
You're now back in Marsec. Welcome back to the game.
Posted by SteveSmith 244 days ago [Login to reply]
I was briefly in Marsec, attached a few sectors, then logged in to see if I had a turn and all my attacks had disappeared?. But I was getting a ?join a faction? message?. So I clicked that and now I?m in Omnicorp.
It also looks like the sectors I attacked as Marsec are now being attached as me under Omnicorp . Including sectors that have no adjacent Omnicorp square, so it?s all messed up.
I've moved you back into into Marsec. It looks like it took you straight out again after I'd added you since it thought you still hadn't logged in for a week. Hopefully it should be sorted now.

Rabid good to hear you're ok, Xeno and I got worried as it's not like you to go quiet! :)
Well, it looks like the campaign is over for another year, but it's been a great one. Technically there's until the end of today to finish, but Omni Corp have 36 sectors, 25 more than the next faction, and they also have 3 corners, so there's no way another faction can win by the end of today. So congratulations to Pete and Xeno for being the 2022 Campaign Winners! Well played everyone, and thanks for joining in!

Cheers guys. Every opponent has been formidable. Great games . I still can't win on Oddworld, lost every time, moonbases tricky and Sigma 7 epic battles! :)
Congratulations Omni Corp. Every mission hard fought. Thanks everyone for making my first campaign a memorable one. And special thanks to my own faction. It's been a pleasure battling alongside my fellow astro miners.
Can you turn off all campaign games off please Steve. But an END to it.
I'm off. Wake me up when you get another campaign going with rules in place, so we don't have to go through this pantomime again, and Xeno-phon is the bad guy. Thanks folks, love you all. Au revoir.
