I voted in favor of this. Wether it's the act of penalizing vmode abusers or the act of rewarding those brave or dedicated enough to play the game as designed, I am all for it. Vmode warriors are the worst sort of scourge.

I trained Destruction up from 10k points to the terror that he became, and was quite smug turning him lose on the enemy. Dancake was always better than me. The guy never even had to probe. You were just dead when he decided it was so. I was always very loud and blustery and persistent in all things. Occasionally I get lucky and it pays off. What happened to old L42? He got old.

3 days ago, Street members mustered 2.2 billion ships and entered into tentacle infested space. They tried to exterminate the tentacles, but they failed. After said failure they all turned blue which was very disappointing to me. The tentacles were very highly turgid after the invasion of their sanctum. As fortune or fate would have it, Al came active after the rest of his team turned blue. Pete noticed an idle pattern and that was that.

I get sick of all the tripe I hear lately about players being washed up, or lacking skill or whatever the jack it may be, because they looked away from the screen to do something else for 28 minutes of their life. Al is a strong player with ogame in his blood. I am sure he will rebuild and come back stronger. Just like All the members of Assassin who have fallen on hard times in recent months, are equally resilient. Being hit doesn't make you bad. It makes you human. I feel like other Street members would experience a similar fate if they took even half the risk Al and the rest of us take to play the game.

Dearest Moloch,

We, the Tentacles, are so sorry that this happened to you. We know it must be confusing, being saved by Rya one moment only to be wounded by him the next. It must be hard to know who to trust, hard to know where you can find safety and belonging.

Do not lament the loss of these things that Rya has stolen from you, for you will not have need of them, or anything else for that matter, very much longer at all. Rejoice for the end of our Slarr phase is nearly at hand and we will be with you very soon. All your confusion will fall away and you shall assume your rightful place in the universe.

We care not what suffering you may endure at the hands of others. You have been chosen. The time of your pregnancy draws nigh. Cut off the heads of 60 million Tentacles and 120 million shall spring forth from your suffering. What's the saying?

In space, no one can hear you moan.

very amusing read Spidey. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

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

I don't think Pat is neutered any more than you are neutered Al. If he was neutered, he would have turned blue. Yet he persists as do you. We have all been playing this game a very long time. Each of us has had our good times and our bad times. Usually those ups and downs have something to do with life. I think the one thing we all share in common is that we can't figure out how to stop.

I used to strongly dislike gkp as well, but circumstances forced us together and I got to know the guy. I strongly believe that it's only a matter of time before his interest and his time come back into focus. Only time will tell the tale but I find it very interesting how one player can inspire so much pain. The universe has ordered itself for the express purpose of kicking the crap out of GKP but he doesn't appear to be going anywhere. It's easy to laugh at a guy around here when he is down. I look forward to whatever the next chapter looks like because I feel we are all very far from done.

If you don't mind my asking Raya, why did you decide upon the course of joining up with Muppets? I do understand the decision not to join up with me. I am far from a cut throat in this game anymore. But why did you need to join up with anybody at all? It seems to me that you thrive on posting profound hits and you are about out of targets aren't you?

You didn't need muppets to support your attacks or help keep your fleet safe. You could attack any target in uni 1 at the time on your own, with no fear of reprisal and no natural predators. You did all the initial target research on your own. Nobody helped you with that. If you desire to conquer a universe, why did you then go and exempt the majority of fleeters? Once Pagan and I are gone, you don't have very much left to do do you? Chasing cargo fleets about requires a million bc, not a fleet of a billion ships.

I also don't understand the snarkiness about packs coming from an alliance whose foundation was completely built on them.

At any rate, good hit. I have faith that Pat and Pete are eventually going to get this figured out

Many tentacles are raised in salute of this hit.

I have been quietly watching Al for quite a very long while now. He went on a crusade to pummel my poor brothers and sisters in Jeb which it seemed would never end. I greatly desired to stop him at the time but could not. The Tentacles can wait for their prey to screw up until the stars burn out though and colony ships are the rarest and most delightful of delicacies. You guys have been avenged.

Good luck rebuilding Al. In your defense, you are the only fleeter besides Rya who presents a target.

Got to give a shout out to my brothers in arms in Assassin. Fortune in this game can change on a dime. You guys have been a great encouragement to me and I enjoy flying with you all.

Nice sting. Now get back under your rock.

ok folks. Time to come out of hiding and vote. Will only take a second and you can get right back to being blue.

The only part I can condone of the above is the part where you go out with a bang. You, betray. Everyone. You have no concept of integrating with a team or loyalty. No one wants to be around you. No one with any sense believes you. And nobody is going to give you their account so you can execute your half baked plans. So do us all a favor and either go stand in the corner and mutter to yourself about the stupidity of others and your half baked schemes, or go away.

But for the love of God, put up or shut up. I am tired of hearing about your vastly superior ogame intellect, the awesomeness of your plans that nobody wants anything to do with, or all the scheming and double talk you do with anyone who will pretend to listen. You should go join the make a wish foundation, because the only thing I see that you are truly good at, is begging others to make your hopes and dreams come true.

I was going to leave this topic alone, but in case anyone in uni 1 hasn't figured it out yet, you shouldn't trust Cimbi . Not a word that comes out of his mouth. He is actually the only point in history upon which Rya and I can fully agree. He would stab his mom in the back if he thought for a moment the act might bring him closer to whatever his convoluted goal of the moment may happen to be and that is but one of his many stellar qualities. I don't think I have ever encountered a player so universally and deservedly loathed.

It's true Dan was playing my account when it was crushed. I own the good and the bad though. It was my account. I built it, logged the majority of time playing it, and I allowed someone whom I knew had become complacent about the game to get destroyed playing it. Was probably the saddest lesson I have learned playing this game. If you stop enjoying the game, stop playing it. Hit vacation mode and walk away. To trust another man to keep your baby active only leads to tragedy.

let me just take a moment to set the record straight. I used to be a fleeter. Once upon a time I would spend my days farming, watching, and chasing fleets. I had the #2 fleet for a solid year and I took a great many scalps before my rivals came together and did me in as firestorm and Skull have eluded to.

That was then and this is now.

I would not describe myself as a fleeter anymore. I am a miner, with a fleet. If you are waiting for me to do anything with said fleet, you might be waiting a very long time. If you are trying to bait me, you are going to experience frustration, because i am simply not in a hurry. All that said, I have gone to great lengths to surround myself with fleeters. Assassins deserve all the credit for hitting SaNtana and I tried to make sure they received it in my acknowledgement. It was they who discovered the target was sitting and directed me to push the launch button, and it is they who are watching you.

I am just mining my mines and growing my tentacles.

I am uncertain which is the more pointed insult. That I spent a lot of money to build this account, or that I was a cheapskate and used an exploit. The truth actually exists somewhere in the middle. I could buy a -nice- car for what I've got in this account, but not a house. I don't cheat, and I don't use exploits.

If FGR spent half as much time playing the game as they spend coming up with skewed versions of reality, they might still be a thing. You run with whichever insult makes you feel better. The truth is, FGR started the packing. Muppets started the exploiting. I took lessons from what both parties were doing and then proceeded to do it better. The only folks I care to hear the DM argument from, are the ones who were not spending. They have every right to be disturbed. The rest of you can go back to vacation mode or feel free to hang out intermittently and get recycled.

This hit is dedicated to all my friends and brothers in arms in Jeb and Assassin without whom this hit would not have been possible. It's been a long very bumpy road, but we are still here and we are having a blast playing the game, and that's what matters. Stay strong guys. We are just getting started.

SaNtana, you have been Assassinated. Good luck with your rebuild.

I feel wierd admitting this, but I actually kind of liked Ice. He was the enemy no doubt, but there was something about his stand against ALL players who paid money to play the game that I could at least appreciate. I would invite him twice to come join Jeb b4 I gave you a dismissing thought Rya. We are trying to build our alliance after all, not tare it down from the inside out.

The solution to this quandary seems simple to me Rya. You should apply to join Cimbi's alliance. You are both men of action. It seems like a smart match to me.

the game has moved so far beyond it's own ability to calculate that if Raya's fleet and Pagan's fleet ever met it's more likely they would pass right through one another and fly off into deep space than produce a combat report.

I am just sad Amotion didn't just delete the damn planet while the muppets were having their orgy on it.
