Heh, okay, I'd like to see SharpBlue come back from wherever he vanished to and explain what his tactics for taking a planet with four billion shields, a similar number of beams, and one billion fighters would be.

The 42 trillion credits are nice, but that planet is basically unbreachable with the tech levels of like 40 Lee is running around with. I'm quite curious how he got to be that rich to begin with, though from here out simple interest on the invincible planet will keep him on top.

Dunno where my corpmate Tam went, but he annoyingly vanished *without* ever making any of his large number of planets corporate, so a ton of resources just kinda went poof... I'm back from vacation and surprised I'm still even remotely in the running...

Sorry about disappearing. I found Sharp's bank planet, and was in the process of suicide taking it when I forgot to buy an escape pod on a round . The game wouldn't resurrect me, so I decided to publish the location and have someone else dethrone Sharp.

Suffering from ads?

Ouch, one death and you're out, eh? That's kinda dumb.

Anyway, anyone know how to give someone money? I'm going to just give my remaining 1.5 trillion to the five hundred people all on the same alliance (Nec Pluribus Impar Dynasty) who took 3/4 of my stuff in battle anyway. The only caveat is I want them to use the 1.5 trillion to slaughter Lee. That way everyone in the entire game except me and Lee win, because everyone but me and Lee is in that one stupid alliance.

I like to see everybody win and nobody lose. I always lose so that doesn't bother me :P

It won't let me transfer more than 15% of my net worth, what's up with that?

Owell, I took out a max loan and am giving 15% each to as many members of Nec Pluribus Impar Dynasty as possible (that should amount to a lot of money since there are a hundred members) then self-destructing. Try to get your loan back NOW, bastards! Muahaha!

LOL this is kinda funny, the Federation will clone me so I can reenter the game basically anytime I want, but I have zero credits, can't dock at a special port because I have a loan of over 100B credits yet to pay back, and therefore even if I had money couldn't upgrade my ship to actually make any money off that money. I'm literally in worse shape than a brand new starting player ;P Sweet :>

Ummm Lee, are you for real? Do you feel threatened by me ???

Hello, there's no way in hell I can take that planet.
And just FYI, I don't bank like that, I use my money when I scrape it together. My score is based on my achievements, not accumulated interest.
In just the last 5 days I've conquered about 20 Trillion.
I've used about 15 of those immediately and given the rest away to teammates.
It would take something like 1200 Trillion to be able to take your planet on, I don't think there's that much money in play in total even.

Though.... I could *build* a banking planet, put some money on it and tell you where it is, do I get the 5 Trillion then?

Hmm. I'm not sure what the big deal with planet finding is. It takes about 2000 turns to explore every galactic sector (sectors / 3 * 2). I *know* everyone at the top can afford to take 2000 turns out for a complete galactic map. Pretty affordable to even do every week or so to keep tabs on what everyone is up to.

Really there isn't much challenge to this game at all. Honestly, you easily have enough resources to take Lee out, Idow, not even including the rest of your alliance. I probably had enough just on the planets you took to do it, if I'd felt like bothering. It'd require cash, though, not just one beefy ship, using the suicide method (the only way that really works).

The game needs random numbers (other than just universe creation). The way it is now it's just a spreadsheet game, and any grasp of math makes the thing kinda play itself out in your head so you don't even need to play. Makes the gameplay boring to me. I didn't play at all really the last three weeks. I didn't even read your request to join my alliance until after you'd killed me, Idow Honestly, if you'd just asked for my planets, I'd have given them to you. Tam had first dibs on them, but since he got knocked out, I'd be happy to give them to someone who would actually use them instead of sitting around not playing like me hehe

Edit: Oh, and Wittlich...
