Where to start! Welcome to Vega...
The story is a roller coaster of emotions from hunger to needing a stress poo and offering to drive 3 hours to kill vice then hug him.We noticed day 1 of merger that Spartacus didn't fleetsave. We can hit the fleet easily but recs... Ahh the recs are the worst part. So we had to watch and hope night 2 was the same.
Then day two happened. Day two was stressful, the kind of stressful you get when dealing with Balkan and Portuguese people all day... Spartacus moved about and launched at people and we didn't want to probe too much. It came to his bed time and we had only just found his fleet before it disappeared to what we assumed was a df fs. Off to the colony ships went timed for 00:00. this is when the fun started. We started watching the DF's and hoping we had chosen the right moon when Vice came back and said he couldn't send res with colo so we would have to send him res. then the time came and passed and the df didnt move... but wait - did G3 disappear... did it have a df at all?!?! then whilst we we all shouting loudly at all the furniture around us... G2 df disappeared and we didn't get an exact time. ARRRG. however, in the madness jossa recalled because we thought the fs was in g3.
Now jossa needed res and deut sending to his colo. Arrrgh!
Anyway we eventually got to the spot. Mooned up, and Spartacus has weird activity on his Homeworld. we assumed he had spotted us and was just waiting for us to launch then he would move the fleet... do we launch or do we wait for reset which was an hour away. Speaking of which, we hadn't actually checked at this point the fleet was even there. Klosh probed, and boom it was. congratulatory bear hugs all round. We made the decision to launch now, hitting before reset as we assumed he would get up at that fixed point.
Jossa launches... Letssled joins, Arcane joins, kloshar joins a probe (more on this later) and vice... well the gerbil that powers vices laptop went on a union enforced break and took him 9 minutes to join the ACS. Many, many foul words were thrown in our whatsapp group. Kloshar offered to drive to vice's house and murder him, Jossa went full gypsy, letssled apologised angrily and i got so emotional I nearly wet myself with rage. Finally, after several slows, a sun lit day had passed and GF had fucked up someone else's day ... he joined. Kloshar gave up his fleet spot when activity was being problematic as he was not in system, and we wouldn't have gotten the hit if he didn't so big up Don Ante for stepping out, we are giving him an equal split of the profits still. He was very much integral to this hit as the four that flew.
The flight itself was uneventful if you discount the fact all of us were shaking like epileptics at a light installation.
As you can see below - we cleared around 95% of the DF, as we built around 1.5m recs on the night to cope with a near 8m rec df. Spartacus got the rest of the DF, and also congratulated us on the hit - we all wish him a massive FR. The gents themselves can do their dedications, but mine is just to all friends past, present and new.
