"the story of a miner that single handedly defeated 2.8b ACS attack"
I would say "defeated" is misuse of term, I would go with "purchased my way out of"
by the power of the mastercard
I'll give credit for you owning and pridefully stating that basically you have no real skills other that entering cc number in DM purchase page.

Spy n fly. Defender onlined between first wave and follow up waves. Moved res, no biggie. Also nicked df but just a little. Then went vmode. One of my last smacks in Cygnus and my first here. Defende: vfr

Nice catch. Difficult to understand why anybody moving to a uni full of unknown fleets would elect to fs from planet. That being said, 80k RIPS , holy sh*t. Defender: vfr or glirl
Sweet deut haul! With fuel prices going up, you'll need it 
. Defender:vfr
Great smash, mate. You'll be getting some new blood too in coming days. Keep blasting. Defender:vfr.. Gonna miss ya in Cyg
Sweet deut haul! That will keep you flying awhile. Good find and profits. Defender: vfr
Made another withdrawal from my Cygnus ATM. Timers on planets and timer on 1 moon. Don't have to be genius to figure that out. Probed simmed and launched. Also was just after reset so just needed to watch HW. Defender, vfr

Mobiled next door to defender hoping to pop moon after reset and catch on possible dirty fs. He logged 10 min to reset then few minutes later a * appeared on other deploy moon. Probed and fleet was there. No relog after reset so just launched and hit went through. Saved me a lot of extra work babysitting MD's.lol. Now, I'm guessing here but I think defender logged with intent to recall fleet but perhaps didn't hit the button correctly so he logged off thinking he had recalled. If thats the case, I was just fortunate that it happened tonight. Wish defender fast rebuild. Oh, 1 other thing, I wasn't expecting a fleet to appear so didn't have sufficient deut and had to wait 20 min to launch thinking the whole time this was going to screw me out of hit, luck prevailed though...

Got a tip that one of this universes 24/7 activity warriors had no activity. So I proceeded to have my way with some of his colonys. 5 altogether but I'll just post 3 largest. Had to go xgal so used lots of deut but hitting this "player" was well worth it. Hope to visit him often in the future .

Awesome, mate, youre killing it in this uni. Good looking fleet! Keep hitting them, enjoy all those profits.
Noble mission for you and your partner, when youre done in Vega, come to Cygnus. One suggestion, take some of those profits and build enough RIPS to force pop moons then no need to worry about moon not falling. Hoping to read about more of your exploits in future.
No story here, watching for couple days and today 1 moon in deploy ss had * . Prepositioned fleet, waited for timer, launched and bingo . "Veni Vidi Vici" Defender: vfr

Decided to look around and saw * on defenders planet and moon and HW. Probed planet and moon knowing his fleet was there but also knowing he was online and will deploy it soon. 10 min later saw his HW had timered. Hmmm, than means he may have been off when I probed. So waited and other planet and moon timered too. I wasnt expecting timers so had to sim real quick, jump and launch figuring he would soon return but hoping for the best. Got lucky and hit went through. Defender: vfr

A) Galactus, I agree with Song that Mike was replying to Desperado
B) Galactus, you werent associated with this hit in any way so other than saying "congrats attacker" and "vfr" to defender, nothing else need be said
C) Galactus, who are you ingame, (of course you wont say) I'd like to give you a Christmas gift of my own
Having said all that, Awesome hit(s) Mikey old buddy, you did it again. Enjoy the spoils, I saw you out earlier and figured someone's day would be ruined, .
Defender: vfr. And Merry Christmas to everyone !
And another one bites the dust..... great hit and profits. Congrats on Top 10 Solo. Defender: vfr but maybe find another uni.
Merry Christmas, Cygnus. Just another nugget to pass the time. Why this guy keeps leaving fleets sitting is totally beyond me. Hes like a cash register, when I want res I just probe him and make withdrawal. Not always, but you get the drift, . Happy Holidays to all, friends and foes alike. Defender: vfr of course
