RIP NINJA [TOT: 56.259.902.000] Lord Pluto(BeKa) vs. Bunk-Errrr(ORP) (A: 43.740.000.000, D: 12.519.902.000)

Hi Europa!

It is a pleasure to post this little personal project of mine for all to enjoy! Here is the story of how a little tiny player with a humble 41 million points beat a 1,1 billion point bully. I have done just about every hit possible in OGame over the years: backtimes, blind lanx, moon pops, MD ninja multiple community top1 hits etc. etc... But never a recalled deployment ninja, so this was a bucket list thing for me, the last nail in the coffin before I can say that I did it all in this addictive game.

I joined Europa on November 27th, barely three months after its creation, and it was already clear this wasn’t going to be a long-term retirement home. One player, Pluto, had raced to 839 million points, essentially passing every TOP 1 outside of U1 and Polaris and crowning himself the self-appointed ruler of the universe.

Under Pluto’s enlightened regime, nobody is allowed to attack or even spy unless it fits neatly into Pluto's or Beka's personal schedule of “attack events.” Inactives are also declared Pluto's personal property, with moon destruction conveniently added as a punishment for disobedience, classic dictator behaviour. Naturally, this made him the perfect and easy candidate for a RIP ninja.

I built my bunker quietly and made a point of violating his fantasy rules whenever possible, by probing and attacking people left, right and center for weeks. but the dictator remained unbothered. So I escalated. I deliberately began farming BEKA members who generously left large resource piles sitting on undefended moons while offline.

That was all the provocation required... Our beloved dictator took the bait without blinking and went straight for my little Bunker.. Everything was going as predicted and according to the plan!

Pluto instantly relocated into my system and began smashing the bunker with heavy ships, happily paying the cost himself, losing millions with each hit hitting my innocent bunker. Finally, the Deathstars followed. What he didn’t account for was the recalled deployment I had been carefully timing for exactly this moment. Over the past weeks I have been putting resources aside and carefully kept a recalled deployment fleet flying between my bunker and a nearby moon, about 21 billion resources to be exact. Or... Just enough to pump out 2121 RIPs instantly.

I kept the recalled deployment flying and timed a return a few minutes before the RIPs impacted, to start building the RIPs. 2121 RIPs were completed... His rules burned, his RIPs vanished, ego destroyed, dictator outplayed.. And for one brief moment, the universe was free again.

I activated Vmode to get some rest and a good night sleep, with the on-going MDs towards me, the BEKA alliance lost an additional 1510 RIPs on my moons, 800 of those after I activated Vmode.

I'm very satisfied with the result of this ninja and for finally chceking off this final item on my OGame bucket list!
