If you are sincere in that, and i have to believe that you are , I will accept your apology and I will quit my attacks on you in every game we play (though I may still attack you, just not exclusively ). And please don't offer me any more allied attacks

Now if only I could be sure whether Ljube really thought I intentionally betrayed him I could decide whether or not to play in the new GO(ld).

______________________________________


On the topic of Allied victories, it seems there are two schools of thought on that, one that is illustrated by Kassie and Jaguar and also explained by Snoopy and the other by Lord Nuclear, Jamski and others.

I myself agree with Kassie, Jag and Snoopy, and go a step further in thinking that if you have to betray an alliance to win a game, then the price is too high to pay. I agree to an allied attack or I don't agree, sneak attack is not an option, and in the case of this game, if I were Joncha I would happily attack the surviving alliance members at this point with a portion of my fleet tonnage similar to theirs and "May the best order of battle win".

It is more important to me that me and my allies defeat all of our opponents then it is for me to be the final victor at the end of the game. Continuing the game at this point serves only to establish who attains final victory and is largely a moot point. In the shoes of Joncha, Jaguar or Kassiopeia, I would happily either concede if I was the lesser power, or agree to a limited matched attack with the loser conceding if I were the greater power.

I am not Joncha, Jaguar or Kassiopeia however, so we will have to see how it plays out (though hopefully it plays our quickly at this point, as the game is largely over ).

Well, they've all sent, hopefully this is an easy final round for Smiley to calculate. Either that or a ZOMFGTRICKENDING! where Joncha is beaten by Kassi and Jag in alliance, and we are down to two overlords...

Breakup

Here is something to think about
The enemy of my enemy is my friend... then what?.




Vetko was gone, but the great ease with which he was defeated in lopsided combat with Ken Banobi had left Banobi with a sizable fleet and his own ambitions. Mustering up support from the General, teh two set about a plan to stop the Reds.

Prophecies


quote:

Here is something to think about
The odds are 6,561 to one




For the People of JEBUS, the Socialist empire posed a formidable challenge. Not only was it twice as large, but its balanced fleet made its tactics unpredictable.

Still, Banobi was not worried. His prophets had gotten considerably more skilled as was seen in the past action against Lord Vetko.

And this time, they had completely second-guessed the Socialist order of battle.

The only way this can be a screwup is that I and Jaguar lose with a very, VERY small margin. You'll find out why if that happens. Oh well.

Chapter 26.3
People's Hero


quote:

Here is something to think about
WTF




Comrade Kit was unfazed by rumors of the JEBUS Prophecies. After all, the official state position dismissed such things as mere superstition.

Just to be safe though, the Comrade had a backup plan. True to his word, no shields would be raised. Instead, a spy was dispatched.

The agent, handpicked from the building demolition brigades, slipped undetected into the base where Banobi and Ordin were massing their fleets. Special modifications were made to the fueling systems.

----------------------------

The following day, Banobi and Ordin prepared to depart for battle. Engines were revved as the ships accelerated to faster than light speeds. Not long after trouble showed up. Red lights went off throughout the engine rooms of Banobi's faith-based rockets, leading to shutdown not far from base.

Ordin, however, was already well on his way, armed with the perfect Order of Battle - against a fleet seven times his size.

I find it funny you say this. Kassi betrayed me without me provoking him, so obviously believes betrayal is fine.

Kassi, joncha, jaguar, as well as any other human of course believe betrayal is fine.

I think Kassi would have had better chances if he had joined forces with his old ally joncha.
