It would have been difficult to defend properly against broker or noir yup

sorry we're over 270!

Well basically I wasn't home until the weekend so it took a lot longer to kill 16 than they merited. That coupled with the fact that Noir's fam did nothing and broker being so kind as to attack us while were still fighting 16 granted them the win.

It was a decent round anyway, congrats to the winners

Also Sol I find it funny you take credit in getting killed

We're not acting dishonorably at all, we haven't made a single attack since talks started.

Even your own fam acknowledges that deal was rushed and favors your family.

You could also drop the high horse talk in the forums and talk to us in chat to work out a deal that satisfies everyone, not just you. If you remember you guys started this, so it is absolutely not our fault you are where you are.

Anyway I'm done posting about this, it's not helpful to anyone. If you're willing to be reasonable you know where to find us.

If you want to get technical, it's only official once it's signed ingame. That's why ingame NAPs were introduced.

It's not our intention to break anything, we are simply telling them that was a rushed deal and we are not going to take it Period.

However, we are available to negotiate further and settle for good terms for everyone. We are acting in good faith, and haven't landed a single fleet since talks started.

If you think that's breaking a NAP, ok I guess.

They were given an offer that the majority of the family disagrees with, and were notified of it 5 minutes after it was sent.

If they want to believe they have a NAP that is their problem.

...or you can just not join chat

Excellent! Hydro is finally asleep too.

zzzzz

I find it rude of you not to acknowledge when I dedicate a song to you btw

Now now, can we get some Christmas spirit around here?

The core cleaner gets no credit as usual

Anyway I was wondering about Hydro's motivation to send fleets travelling the dark cold sideral space for endless hours, and it got me thinking he might have lost something, which he is trying to find again.

So I started humming a lil' tune, and it went something like this...

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep

I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

Even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep

I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night

I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' to the promised land

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of the truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams

In the middle of the night

All of them flint they did not hit us twice for a hundred planets nor are they going to nap us.

I will concede they got a few dozen planets in installments spread out over several ticks though.
