I think mini-dump thing has plagued most people as-well so please do your best to post the game record files here  .

RiddleKing just wants us to post replays because he knows he would get utterly graped (while he would be the last to admit this) when hopping on ICO. All these stories of his about fleet synergy are such utter nonsense when it comes to multiplayer Sins.

I would post a replay of me 1v1ing Radio....

Or of me in suicide fending off 2 Chinese...

Or of me solidly frontlining against tier 0 and tier 1 players...

But then I'd hurt my chances of getting the Seleuceia tier...

I think the idea of a new replay thread for new players is a good one.  If only some of the senior players wanted to be more helpful, this would be the place to post them.  Too bad all they seem to want to do is come here and make excuses...

First off, there are replay threads...Ruby had a replay thread where he constantly posted replays of skilled games, though he recently has been very busy and thus unable to post anything...

Second, several skilled players are doing "mentoring", something far more helpful and time consuming that posting some replays...

Finally, MDs are really a huge problem....many players MD in the game...even if that doesn't occur, many players MD as soon as the game ends and thus have a corrupted autorecord (this is tied to a memory issue related to autorecording)...

 I for one have autorecord off because I was so tired of having my game crash every time I finished a game...

Lol - you obviously clicked on the wrong download link on the page if that is what you got. It's a simple free file sharing website but it does come with ads for other stuff and you clicked on one of them.

The same iLivid attempted hijacking happens if you click the big blue button labeled "download" right below the file name and above the "play" button.  I haven't checked, but given that one of iLivid's alleged benefits is that it allows you to watch a program while you are downloading it, I'm guessing that's another link to iLivid.  In other words, when clicking on a link to a file, you are not taken to the file, but instead to an intrusive and unrelated piece of software which is deceptively described as "your download". How many people just click through the process and wind up with some completely unrelated software on their hard drive?  Probably a lot.  Sleazy.

Now below that there is a second, smaller download button which leads to another download program, STILL not the actual file itself, this one being Rocket Download driven by another program called Optimum Installer.

All of these processes are fraught with security risks, and the fact that the site attempts to gain access to your hard drive for multiple programs through deceptive layout and misleading descriptions does not make me more inclined to trust it.  There are other file sharing sites that don't require the same level of blind faith.

So no, I didn't just click on an ad by mistake, "LoL".  I am very careful about what I click on and when, and which publishers I allow access to my hard drive.  If that means I can't watch replays posted by RR, that's a price I am willing to pay.  Of course, that is why I would like to have seen some other replays posted in this thread instead.

While I do not retract my comments about 2Shared (they are shilling for iLivid), your response did lead me to do a little more experimentation. 

It turns out that if your downloader is not on 2Shared's list, they will try and direct you to their preferred partners.  Evidently the program I use for work is not on their list.  So using CNET I found another one from a publisher I trust, and was able to download the files.

Still, there are other services that apparently support a wider range of downloaders, and would thus be of less risk and/or trouble for people just hoping to watch a few games.

Every game I have downloaded from that other thread also seems to be a 5v5 in a relatively small universe.  It would also be more interesting to see some FFA games on larger maps, or even replays of single player games. 

Well Teun, he fell for it so apparently I don't have to do any better...

I haven't played sins in a VERY long time.  I was no pro then and could only play sparsely.  I'm trying to get an issue resolved with my diplomacy purchase missing from impulse/GS client then will be getting rebellion.  Was hoping to get some replays while waiting in the current patch since I see they changed a lot with 1.1....not that I know anything about rebellions current strats since I haven't played it yet so I guess any will do.

This thread at least needs 1 replay.

Here is 1 replay: http://www.2shared.com/file/of5wzd51/AutoRecord-01261442.html

It isn't ideal because one of the other team drops fairly early but they want to play on. I don't think the outcome would've been affected had he not dropped, just taken longer. It's one of the few skilled games I've had that didn't involve multiple crashes/dumps lately and didn't md on exit either. Even with 5v4 there are some entertaining fights I hope.
