hey
i suggest you read up in the strategy forum, there are several threads about starting strategies and the races that work with them.

I was in PW9
i deleted before it started, but i was there.

piccadilly square?

dont think you'll reach many women here but a valiant attempt!

we're all aware americans do not want to believe stories based on factual events

USA commit acts of war on Turkeys every thanksgiving.

im sure murderface didn't mean spooning as inserting spoons in body cavities

i'll join!

you can do good as the opposite of doing evil.

hillbillies do not have space programs.

So, now we know the saddest family in mw

snails!

we clear 3 planets in our core.
i have multiple members of their fam messaging me about "how we dare attacking them". a couple of insults and threats get sent to me, and no doubt my attacker too.
then they send a message "we;re declaring war to take those 3 planets back because they are important to us".
And now I wake up to see 30 or so attacks.

Now, I dont care about losing those planets, losing my fleet, whatever, that's the game.
But if your family is 3 times bigger than mine, do you really need to threaten and insult someone for clearing you from their core?
Just take the planets or dont take the planets, don't lie about "declaring war to take them back" and no need to insult and threaten.
