I got the crap beaten out of me online. I eventually got down to my homeworld with no ships left. When they started bombarding it (I don't recall who it was), I just started typing in the lyrics to "It's the end of the world as we know it" by R.E.M. Right before I got to the fast part that nobody knows, I lost. At this point everyone else was "singing" along too. Now I'll never know how that part goes.   Dang it.

I can't think of any funny stories, but if one comes up, i'll tell you.

Samurye.

These are great, the funnyest thing that ever happened to me was I was about to take the enemys last planet and a pirate fleet jumped in and helped me. I was about to win but I accidentaly quit. Not realy that funny but it sucked.

no I dont know how to change what section it goes in

nor do I. the advantage is that most people that are modding are more experienced, so they'll have better stories!

This isn't so much a funny story but I do want to share it nontheless. I've been playing sins ever since it was released and tis has only happened once so here we go.

I was playing a huge-multi solar system game with all the ai's on the top diff. I like to set two vasari as allies to make it more difficult, but the thing in this map was that each one of these vasari was flanking me. somewhere around 1hr into the game I couldn't expand anymore in my own solar system as every planet was taken, and I couldn't make a ceasefire agreement with either empire as their targetsafter the frst diplomatic relations were at least one empire away, so they started attacking me without reproach.

This was before entrenchement and its defese upgrades so I wa getting pummelled. So I rushed a Kol and Akkan into roduction and immediately sent them to expand into one of the three uncolonized solar systems. As it turned out it wasn't a moment too late becaue the moment I colonized the first new planet two huge forces started attacking each flank in the old system. So as I expanded in the new system, I slowly ceded planets in the old sysem destroying anything of value on the way.

By the time I conquered most of the new system I was down to only my home planet and a relatively large fleet in the old one. I quickly trabsferred my home planet to the new safer system and sent my old fleet through very hostile territory the moment both AIs attacked my lst remaining planet in the ols solar system.

So as I said, not funny but its just one of those games/playshat really stick to mind 

I was online the other day. Some guy with 0 games was challenging me to a 1v1. My initial reaction was smurf. I asked him how long he had had the game (2 days) and how long he had been playing MP (1 day). I then asked him why he thought he would be able to win. His response was because he was a tactical genius and had played heaps of RTS games and was good at Starcraft.

Guess what - I slaughtered him - it would have been over quicker if I had attacked him harder and sooner but I was being careful as I thought it was a good player smurfing.

All he built were a prog, a few discs initially for colonising and then some defence vessels. Part way into the game (before the defence vessels) got out and about, I asked him when the tactical genius was going to show up - I was told to wait. I then asked him before he quit and he congratulated me for beating a noob.

The game itself wasn't funny but the way he was telling me how good he was and then how badly he got owned was...

This wasnt in Entrenchment so dont get confused.

WAAAY back in 1.05, i was playing a Large Multi Star map against 2 unfait AI. I was playing TEC, so improve my skill with them. Well, after i qued up a Sova, i instead was welcomed to the lovely mesh of a Haloycon carrier. At this point i am like "WTF?" so i just let it keep building. Soon, i had an Advent Carrier with all the Specs of its TEC counterpart. I didnt Mod the game as of yet, rather it was a random error that 1.05 users might stumble across. So here i am with an Advent Carrier leading an Armada of Tec Ships.
