I haven't been attacked yet. I'm still building up a bit of defence anyway, just in case.

The best defence is just to make it unprofitable for someone to attack you. Spend your resources, and if you're saving up, build some defence, so that to a small person, it's seen as a harder target than some unprotected n00bs, and to a big person, its seen as a waste of fleet for a measly amount of resources.

The 100member thing might be a thing too, i for one tend to ignore people in alliances, unless they're in it by themselves. I mean, people don't mess with the S.A alliance I presume, as even if they had 140 members who're n00bs, the other 20 or so could have a whole load of points. hehe. so in our case, some of us could be poweful and just the number of n00bs 'drag us down'

Either way, get raiding ASAP, it's much quicker. Also, if you have deuterium, it's probably worth offering a trade, as the 4:2:1 m:c:D ration is pretty good for a developing player.

I have M7/K7/D6/S10 with Robotic Factory level 2 and Shipyard level 2 and Research Lab 1

Now I'm just waiting to collect some resources so I can start building cargo ships, any advice for someone in my situation?

It's good to research Computer Tech so you can attack in multiple waves to maximize loot.

Player name is red: you're n00b protected from them (they have over 5x as many points as you). They're the bigger boys :p

Player name is white: GAME ON, you can raid them, they can raid you.

Player name is green: They're n00b protected from you. Watch for when they turn white, easy pickings! hehe :D





(i) means inactive for 7 days.
(I) means inactive for 28days
(v) means vacation mode (name will be blue too)
(b) I don't know at the mo'
(w) Weaker...? Might be, tends to be by greenies.
(s) Stronger...? Might be, tends to be by red named people.
(*) Recent activity
(xxmin) Activity xx minutes ago
Activity can mean spied on, raided...


Think that's it.

You need more raw materials to be able to build them.

When do scores update? I am itiching to see if I go up in he ranks. :p

Oh... I see. They don't even give you the option if you don't have enough. Sucks, but makes sense :)

For people saying that we should keep the discussion on AT, I don't see how that would work well.

We're not going to have any sort of organization over here. If we take up more than like 2 threads on AT in order to organize it correctly, that's really not what AT is for. We already have a great forum set up for our team and it's working well.

There's even a live chat area for announcing things to people who are online.

Maybe if AT is willing to dedicate a forum for OGame, it would work :p

But DaJello is right. As much as I love to keep it here, we just can't be as organized here. And sending everything in circular mail is NOT an option.

exactly. no one wants to sift through this thread. we can kept this here. bump for recruitment purposes. but the action and live chat in on the deticated and ORGANIZED forum for ogame we made. then we dont have to put up with the same 40 noob questions etc.. deticated spy area.

live chat for quick spy help etc.. everything to make the alliance better and more efficient is in the other forum we made.

its starting to get more of the members to join. so use both. this thread is not for the better of ogame alliance. we have to grow and get organized to be number 1 ! heheh


here is the link again for those who missed it

Have you tried a different browser?

What goes wrong? Did you activate your account? Did you log in?

I haven't been able to get a validation e-mail to a .edu addy, i'm going to try hotmail. Oh also I went through Turkish's build order. The first thing I got after that was research lab and then S9. Is there anything I should readily focus on building?
