    Yeah, this game is boring now, since it's turned into everyone just sitting on their interest generating planets.

    Did you come to this feeling before or after I exacted revenge for your taking of my lone uninhabitated planet by conquering ten fully stocked planets of yours? :devil:

    I came across some Nautican planets in my rampage...er, "quest to free the galaxy" early this morning. My crew refused to attack them because there was no honor in it. :(

    I'm still feeling a little sore about Nautica capturing my completely-empty-save-two-colonists planet, so you can see if that'll motivate your men.

    After 30 minutes of combat operations, 30 worlds and three billion citizens have cried into the night, never to be heard from again.

    I killed O'Neill during his defense of the Alpha Site. Gotta love 42 million points of armor.

    I just whacked Daedalus. He was alseep on a planet.


    Bad move, bubba. You never ever land on the planet. You can't EWD away if attacked. :no:

    The war seems to be going well, aside from some logistical/friendly fire issues between me and elwood. Thankfully, I've been able to make things right.

    I have now destroyed 53 planets and sent 5.3 billion colonists into the black.

    However, I am slowing my offensive operations because this action has cost me greatly. I ran into 9 mines in Sector 3300. My hull plating is slightly scratched and I'll need time to send crews out to repair it.

    I have no idea how many worlds I attacked/destroyed, I lost count after 50.

    I'd be in there, but it's busy at work today and our connection speed here is below that of a 1990 A.D. phone modem.

    The Gemenon Shipyards might have fallen but at least it looks like those brave citizens took out Paladin's ship before they fell to the hammer of Elwood.

    Indeed, here I was thinking 350,000,000 fighters was relatively safe.

    edit: ok, I guess spending around 5000-10,000 trillion credits on your ship might do the job.

    Just don't let Chewie bogart everything. :mad:

    You guys saw it...I wanted Hazzard's worlds and claimed them, then Chewie swoops right in there and gets all the swag.

    And he criticized ME for opening up on SGC in the middle of the night where "no one could help"...well, now you know why, I wanted those billions for myself...:mad:

    Had I bothered to scan that world, I wouldn't have attacked it. I didn't want to tip my hand this early. :blush:

    By the way, I stumbled across your holdings thanks to your former Alliance members. I was in one sector and decided to scan the links just for shits and giggles.

    Lo, and behold, there you were. :shrug:

    Phantom, I never saw that message from you about HaZZard. There were too many communiques, and one fell through the cracks. I'd be happy to compensate you.

    I've painted a black flag on the side of my ship.

    No quarter. No quarter to the enemy. I see you. I kill you. :bergman:

    Billions of your colonists will cry out for you to do something, but even if you come to their rescue it'll be to late. You'll just find rubble where the planets used to be.
