Yeah well just you wait. Just you wait :P.

I actually expected 100+ ships.

I liked how you modeled the Poseidon.

Brian, I have to wonder, are you just fucking with my head? You attacked a planet with ships that...couldn't attack my planet? Or were they just out of supplies?

Outta supplies. I was hoping you'd kill them but you took your fucking time doing it lol. You could have just built an orbital fighter and pulverized both of them a couple turns ago :P.

At least, I got your colonizer.

If you want a pause you could ask you know. Or else you can fill your research queues, make sure all your ships and shipyards have the right orders, and click "do not make changes in a simultaneous game" under empire options so the AI does absolutely nothing.

Maybe a scout got a 'wormhole' event, and was destroyed?

Anyway. Goddesses do respond to nags. If they are presented with a fresh sacrifice of 12 sats. ;P

Yeah well. If I hadn't had such a hard-on for my crystal weapons and made pure laser sats there'd have been 4x the number of sats. But damn strike raptors impossible to hit with direct fire weapons.

Quick Question. Did anyone ask for a rollback? I may have missed something. I thought someone said they 'seriously' needed it.

Kojiro said he seriously needed a rollback in Adamant. He didn't elaborate I don't think... I think he still wants it...

Updated Somtaaw, now with hives and multibeams. Not to much creativity here, I just ripped pictures from the Internet, and not the last update either so if you can't be bothered don't worry... more for people who're gonna fight me soon and don't want to look at hammerheads :P.

You might need to do some mojojojo I don't know whether I preserved the path... it goes in seiv/Adamant 15.00/pictures/races/Addisian/

Sorry guys.. Im going to have to book on this game. I just have no time to give it any real attention.

University's almost over, so I have about 3 large essays to write up and I'm also planning a largish anime/videogame convention being held in July so thats now sucking up all my spare time (even WoW is taking a back seat)

Whatever you decide to do with my empire is fine by me, might be appropiate to give it to kojiro as he's worse off than I am atm. After July I may be interested in joining again on another game, but right now I just don't have the time and thats just disrespectful to the other players waiting on me.

So once again, my apologies for all the hold-ups.

Np Booyah. RL is more important.

As for me I called Purolator and told them I'd send the box over on Monday. Gonna see if I can dig up my reciept over the weekend so I can grab a new battery. So late next week I'll find out whether I have a laptop or need a brand new computer. Could have shipped it earlier but after making such a fuss I think it's fair to let Tuxedo, GuppyShark and Covenant play at least a half dozen turns before I come back.

If it's a brand new computer... I dunno. I might just swing by a thrift store and take a trash computer for $50 bucks if it comes to that. It's not that I don't have a grand to spend on a kickass new computer, it's that I have a new way of looking at life now that I'm working 40 hours a week.

The best thing to do, Booyah, is to surrender to whoever has the lowest score. That will cause the fewest headaches for everyone.

--The scores aren't very good indicators of actual rankings. Considering the size Kojiro's and Booyah's empires (planets and sectors) and the shear power of 5 homeworlds, surrender would probably completely unbalance the game. Letting the AI play his empire is probably a better idea since the AI is extremely dumb and Kojiro should be able to take over Booyah's planets, but not before we have progressed to a stage of the game where that becomes a realistic possibility.

Honestly, I don't really care about that. If a player gets too powerful, it will cause the other players to form stronger alliances against them. I'd be afraid if it were someone who played in the first ST game, but Kojiro wasn't with us then. I say just pick someone to surrender to and be done with it. Expecting the rest of us to come to a decision is foolish.
