I am not playing unless it will be as General Ordin. *stomps foot on ground, holds breath*

But Ordin didn't quite made it in the final 5?

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

He's got a third place and a sixth place in the past two games.

It's not quite as good as 2nd and 5th () but it's still pretty damn good. Ordin stays.

quote: Originally posted by GeoModder I've never been able to ally with Skanky before, the risk of him double crossing me was too real to take. Between an assured second place and a third is easy to choose.

I offered Geo the chance to attack Spiffor in an alliance with me, but he declined. Apparently, my vast history of not double-crossing set up a precedent too strong to ignore.

And congratulations to Spiffor. Your OOB went against my second-guessing and thus defeated me. A well-deserved win.

Geospaced's foolishness does not change that fact that backstabbing is not a viable long-term strategy

Skanky, you made an offer to Spiffor as well.

Huh?

Clarification: When you contacted me, Geo, I was going to initiate contact with Skanky, to have a finale between my fleet and yours combined. Before you contacted me, I would have never imagined that you two would fight against each other (and even afterwards, I believed that you were simply manipulating me )

Then I have misunderstood you.

And of course I manipulated you, you did the same regarding OoB's in the previous turns. It's not for nothing I lost all those laserships.

Tho the manipulation was not on a level you would ordinarily expect.

There is no shame in that. Some who is not smart enought to try and manipulate is probably not a useful ally anyway.

Thanks for the compliment (regarding the OoB. )

quote: Originally posted by Kassiopeia Geospaced's foolishness does not change that fact that backstabbing is not a viable long-term strategy

I call it foolishness to backstab. What do I care I lose in this one? I was simply drawn into this alliance from the outset due to Spaced former contacts. But then again, I doubt any of the opponents alliance members would be happy with me as a replacement for one of them.

Just to be clear, I did not contact Spiffor at any time after the original NAP was over. Certainly not in the final round where he easily would have overpowered me even if I did somehow manage to gain your bases.

The manipulation was very subtle indeed I stil have no idea of what it could have been (except maybe when I revealed that has a shield left)

Nah ... 1st and Last means that 1st was probably a fluke. 2nd and 5th, or some other combination of high placed finishes, means you're probably actually quite decent.

quote: Originally posted by Jamski I have to say there was some really good play in GO9... but there was a great shortage of backstabbing

That gets a big from me, and new hope that the game is worth playing for me. In my opinion it does not matter how strong your allies are, but how reliable they are.

quote: Originally posted by Kassiopeia Geospaced's foolishness does not change that fact that backstabbing is not a viable long-term strategy

Foolishness......no. But I agree that anyone interested in an alliance in future games would think twice before betraying an ally.

His last was a direct result of coming first. In other words, it doesn't qualify.

One round is a good meter to judge someone's skill. Twenty-six, leading to a second solo victory in six games is a fluke.
