For those who play with no time compression ....

How far exactly into your campaigns are you? And has anyone quit on a no TC useage campaign?

Inajira · 03-05-06, 04:34 AM

There is one name that is legend in the TC x1 Land: "Wratt".

He had a 1x TC game running for some time and was regularly posting progress reports. Even got mentioned in a game magazine. Don't know what's happened to him lately though...

DerKaleun · 03-05-06, 06:01 AM

Hmmm. Maybe he got depth charged and went thereafter to the bathroom and drowned himself in his bathtub?

Maybe he's stuck below, with diving planes damaged and no compressed air and is waiting for the CO2 levels in his room to become deadly.

This assumes he hermetically sealed up all windows, doors and vents. :hmm:

Oh no!

Check this thread for Wrratt's patrol logs, they're quite a good read.

You gotta respect the 1x TC players.

I tried it out once just for a few days, and i gotta say it has some coolness factor into it!

I'm planning in doin' a whole career with 1x TC!
It has a cretain hardcore feel to it!

DerKaleun · 03-06-06, 11:08 AM

I hope that you get sunk on the first sortie, for the benefit of your social life

trenken · 03-06-06, 11:20 AM

I can definitely respect a guy that plays the game all in real-time, but damn, that must get really boring. Just staring at nothing but open sea for weeks or even months! They probably rarely even get to sink anything.

And the guys who did it for real at least got to talk to each other, play cards etc. These '1x-ers' don't even get those advantages.

trenken · 03-06-06, 01:12 PM

Yeah, I can understand doing it in real life, but in a game? That's cool as long as they enjoy it and get something out of it, but I can picture myself doing that. I can't just stare at videogame water all day. I need some action. I TC as much as possible.

Did it once for 2 weeks.....drank to much beer

Salvadoreno · 03-06-06, 08:18 PM

where the hell did u guys find the time? Did u turn off ur phones/put up signs telling freinds ur outta town/lock urslefs in rooms with a frig?? How!? It seems almost impossible to me to sit in front of a computer for 1-2 months..

Torplexed · 03-06-06, 08:32 PM

Just seems to me you'd find yourself later in life wondering if that time couldn't have been put to better use. As much as we enjoy our sims, it's still just meant to be entertainment. Not a lifestyle.

I posted a very long message about this here:

This was posted before I saw this topic, but it seems to me, reading this post, that 1x TC is very much the spectacular feat I thought (feared) it might be.

The question, then, I guess, is not whether you play your whole patrol in 1x, but what PERCENTAGE do you play in 1x, and what kinds of rules do you keep in place for yourself so that you don't get to --- how should I say? --- careless with the TC button.
