ACS Top 04 - [TOT: 853.787.232.000] GKP [Assassins] & Lord42 [JEB] vs. Moloch & cul-de-sac [STREET] (A: 851.200.018.000, D: 2.587.214.000)

My side of the story:

Rya had been nagging that he wants more active players with him as the uni was getting boring all alone. After trying several times to set a return date and failing (life with 2 children, 1 of them almost 2 months old, is not easy it seems), I set a final return date and thought whatever happens happens. I owe it to Rya, Muppets/Street, and FGR and co to come back to this game.

After 1-2 days, I, along with a friend and a tip received from another friend, started watching Moloch. Good target, guaranteed profits. I started the mission and everything went to plan. Of course the ever opportunist GKP (fair game, I would've attempted the same) tried to steal the hit by sending waves on attack.

Initially I wanted to hit Moloch. Rya wanted to do something bigger. I was against it, as it required:

1- Cooperation from Moloch (you never know with miners, he might say screw both teams)

2- Trust from/to Moloch (you never know, he could've been talking to assassins and co prior to us)

3- Assassins and L42 actually falling for the bait. I never thought they would, I thought "of course they're smarter than this, come on Rya ffs stop this fantasy scenario". <-- Spoiler alert, they weren't.

4- My kids had an appointment for a vaccine shot at the Dr's office exactly at the time of the hit. Thankfully all went well but I'm definitely not winning father of the year.

After a few back and forth and some, ahem, insults, I agreed to Rya's plan. We contacted Moloch with our offer and he gladly accepted.

I MDed the new moon, Rya sent the defend, and from then on it was about hoping Assassins/L42 would slow down their attacks. Thankfully they did and a lot of profit was made ~ 1.1 Trillion if I'm not mistaken.

I want to thank Rya, STREET (especially those 1-2 people who helped with watching), and FGR (old habits) for this hit.

I also want to thank Assassins/L42 for taking part. It takes balls to launch such fleets, even if the risk of a ninja is present. No risk no reward. Unfortunately this time it didn't work out for you guys. FR to L42

madness. profound madness. risking 5T fleet for a measly 50b profit is absolute stupidity. Not that hard to figure out who L42 planned this with.

A friend of mine told me about this yesterday morning. my initial reaction was this:

these guys are really lucky to have the geek patsy and gullible lord as their arch nemesis. lol.

P.S. I could have warned L42 about possible trap. but he doesn't deserve it.

Good job,hahaha

Well well well, I like the way you stole my api codes and posted before I am available just to spare the universe from my long posts but regardless one is incoming...

It all started with Slevin returning from long abstinence hungry for booty. He wanted something and he noticed Moloch who has been hit by half of the universe already until now and dirty fleetsaves obviously for long time.

Moon went down and revealed dirty fleetsaves all over but the big booty was 1 weeks due, lol. Then GKP stepped in. I must confess, I was shocked to see he is capable of something other than getting top10'ed or ninja'ed -this is spoiler alert, he actually leveled up and got his fleeter ninja'ed by avoiding risks of sending his fleet for one wave, lol-.

1 week is crazy but knowing Moloch and his behaviour at previous moonpop from 2 years ago where I locked again with 6 wave of rips, I knew he would recall. Then we had to make sure we are the first one's locking after recalling. We were.

GKP then locked again which meant nothing but trying to bug the hit and some luck on messed up ogame mechanics...

Moloch got a new moon and it had to go down as we were sure he'd be contacted by jebass, not that they are friendly but to deny us the profits or intervene and claim it for themselves. Slevin was so active and effective in last 48 hours as he popped the new moon again to see no defense was in its' way. Then after seeing Lord42 adding 10m bc to each of the 6 waves (which was meaningless as 2 waves would grab 93% of the resources due to Moloch being 75% raid target for everyone -unless they wanted to let us profit more ofcourse!) I noticed it was a golden opportunity, an opportunity to take out Lord42's substantial amount of strong BC's.

Moloch needed to have a new moon for this but he was offline, lol. Then logged in while it was 5.5 hours and probably messaged around cuz he got moonshotted from some random player. Then we messaged and asked for cooperation and if he was interested on saving his res & fleet. He ignored messages for almost 3-4 hours straight. Regardless we decided it was best to send the 100% MD mission to his moon a couple seconds prior to 0 second lock's on the hit.

Moloch at first agreed on but couldn't succeed on providing screenshots as I had to know he wouldnt be defending the moonpop and get me killed on his moon while expecting to be redirected to planet for defend with those 100m BC.

I was just about to recall the defend and decide to keep on with 200b+ profits for us but then when it was 1h07 minutes to the hit he said 'yes I am interested' and said he will send screenshots. I sent buddy request and defend immediately but due to late response only BC's could barely reach!

Then jebass started slowing down and they also locked on 0 seconds -which made no sense at all-, major problem from that time on was for me to recall the 6x111k rip waves that I had going on in order to not ninja myself as welll.

8 seconds to go I went into fleet screen and recalled 6 waves. Either unnoticed or noticed but it was too late to do anything for attackers.

I must confess Lord42 took the hits like a real champ and was so mature about it. I am certain he would never make these type of risky, stupid stuff if he was on his own but he has an accomplice, someone which is great opportunity for us to land literally every type of hit, top10, ninja and have all the fun we can; GKP!

Great King Pat I am sincere on my offer and it still stands. You let us 1.1T easy profits and without you, it'd be impossible so you have earned it. Say the word and I'll ticket in and ask permission to share some with you. only with the condition you rename yourself as Graveyard King Pat considering the latest events.

Lord42 GLOTR, it's nothing but peanuts for you but a mistake that shouldn't have been kept on unless you were insystem as well and could force MD yoursel again. Also I know who got your 115b DF and if he hasn't contacted you about ticketing in and sending back as soon as you are back from vmode, I can share you the name and you get to know how he only clowns around for your support but doesn't care of your recovery & resources.

my got I am away for 2 weeks and everything imploded

Big failure from l42, shouldn't let being trapped into desire of hitting something that wasn't worth that risk,plus risking that x5 more than it was needed.

Rya, applause, masterclass.

FR L42,

Gg everyone.

I wonder what it is like to be on the wrong end of a top 10...6 times....in one hour

Nice bit of shenanigans to get this to work! Suprised to see L42 took the bait.

GKP

again

and again

and again

The Jebass alliance has been a very profitable venture... for Muppets/Street/Fraggle rock.

Lord42, I don't know how much more evidence you need. Cut the dead weight, or wind up like the rest.

Expertely done guys. Cant say i rememeber any other time where 6 Top 10s were done in the space of a second.

Excellent work. judging by the length of time some of them ACS have stood they will be there for quite a while to, forever embedded in the history of U1.

Congrats guys. I know a lot of work went into this and you pulled it of text book.

Lord42. Drop in the ocean for you, but im sure your pride took a hit none the less. GLOTR

I wounder as well probably like getting kicked in the nuts 6 times in 1 minute, not that I have felt any of the above

No comment beyond, on behalf of the "poors" please have -Arcane- post ALL Street, Muppet, Fraggle posts. Thanks.

L42, Grade A sportsmanship. Take what you need and come back swinging.

Now I have an understanding how Pickett must have felt. It's a good trap. That's 60,600,000 dead tentacles. Congratulations to all involved on your victory. One of the disturbing things about tentacles is that they can regenerate themselves with disturbing speed. Each generation evolves beyond the last.

I have indeed learned a lesson from all of this and will be a more menacing adversary for it in the future. For the moment however, I am going to take some time to enjoy remembering what it is to be a human that is free rather than a tentacle eternally bound to ogame timers.

As the tentacles now enter their wounded Slar phase, there are only 2 things I know for certain. 1. I will return and the tentacles will grow. 2. When I return, you all will only be able to look on in horror (or pornographic delight) As the next generation of tentacles is birthed deep within the dark fleshy depths Moloch's most private places

doing a search for #hairytentacles doesn't return any worthwhile results

And you know that this only means you will be dismantled bit by bit, torn apart by a pound of flesh at a time, or 10 million tentacles in your case, right?

The manner in which you and your jinxed voodoo banshee underestimated your opponents and the possibility that you may have not even been present at the time of impact (failure to spot ryaturd recalling rips) means something is seriously wanting at your end.

Arcane, I thank you for trying (and failing) to spare us the great walls of text.

Finally a hit (or 6) that is more than a spy and fly, and a moon pop ninja at that, amazing to see.

And this time I think the walls of text do it justice since there was an actual story to tell, well played and monster profits.

Nice to get something different on the ACS top 10 list, even if we are just going to get the same hit 6x, and getting a miner's name up there somehow makes it quite funny to me.

FR attacker, a drop in the bucket to an account like yours which I'm sure will be rebuilt in no time, cheers for letting it go through and letting us witness the destruction.

Wow this is incredible! I was just looking at the top 10 section after the last GKP hit and thought that Assassins were pretty much plastered all over the wrong side of the solos hits. Then I scrolled up and thought hmmm, there is still a decent showing from Assassins in the ACS section.......

Congrats on pulling off such a massive risky coordination! Enjoy the great profits!

Attackers, GLOTR. I am sure these ships will be rebuilt, but this is still an expensive rebuild. Ooof!
