I agree with Barbatos on all counts.
Except, I do admit that my 9mil NW at the time, having shares with 806, made em nervous, even tho, it was intended at the time for 803 who had dropped the nap on us. We were gearing up to war 803, and 806 just saw our jumps on atkers and the share, and got worried. (of course, we did owe em a payback
) Besides, 806 had figured out it was Hummy there, lol.
I was ported in one systtem with 803 (our only planet there) with 1000 lasers, and fully expected to take that system from 803 the second they declared or atked anywhere. And, we had a dozen other shares to fight em over. I thot given our smaller planet count, atks would go our way, with the morale differences.
Instead, 806 fig ran me, and declared, while 803 pnapped. So, we got a break. We jumped other atkers, And cleared as fast as we could. 806 still ended with more planets and NW than 819, (they out jumped us) So, they beat us both ways, but not by a huge amount. Time ran out, but given their remaining fleet and lack of atks/retakes, it woulda been a slaughter, if the round had continued a few days more. An, the smaller pc worked here as well.
Who won the war? I think 819 did. Who woulda been in the 20s this time? I think 806 woulda been. But, we wont know. Time ran out, lol.
75% of all players in IC have hemorroids,
the other 25% are perfect assholes.
