    MasterMind called me yesterday while I was in the middle of having dinner. I had been lazy in the afternoon and ended up ordering some Chinese takeaway (the price of food has gotten ridiculous recently — I ended up paying almost 20 packs).


    He sounded quite happy, I could instantly feel the positive energy emerging from his end of the phone. Apparently, the show last Tuesday had gone well. “It was fascinating to see the lesbian couple dance so freely, and watch how underway both of them took turns performing the act of the societal masculine role, by taking charge and leading the choreography,” he said. MasterMind told me that he had shared one of his favourite jokes about Biggy with the person next to him at the theatre, but sadly his seatmate’s event handler was not able to process high-calibre humour like that of the Master’s, and not even a polite chuckle was returned.


    I asked him how the fallen messiah Khaos was doing at the moment, after abandoning his 28th account earlier this year. MasterMind assured me he is doing well — apparently, he’s working on a farm for a big tech company in Australia, experimenting with the use of AI training on kangaroos for combat purposes in the event of a new world war breaking out.


    The Eritrean culture had really been a phenomenal experience so far for the Master; the local people had been humble and treated him with a just level of respect. He told me that his Jamaican tour guide had started referring to him as “bombaclaat” which supposedly means “fearless leader”. MasterMind told me that over the weekend, he had been invited by the elders of the village to participate in a traditional ceremony that took place on top of a nearby mountain. There, under the moonlight, the villagers gathered around a bonfire while the Master drew various fleet composition layouts on the ground with a stick. After several hours of silent observation, the group emphatically embraced the Master with words of gratefulness and worship before they started dancing Saho for the remainder of the night.


    Furthermore, it turns out that the Master is co-hosting the very first and newly founded annual KAS Conference, alongside a close friend of his who goes by the name Benito_Benitoso (a fellow disciple and a vital engineer in the modernisation of KAS). It’s scheduled to take place in the coming week in Lisbon, with tickets already sold out.


    I told the Master about the therapy sessions the wife has made me attend recently, specifically about how I feel it’s a complete waste of money and time. Every time I try to bring up OGame and explain the basics of it to the counsellor, so she could get an idea of my point of view, she immediately cuts me off and starts talking about something completely unrelated — usually having to do with feelings. MasterMind suggested that he would be willing to do a counselling session for us for just half the price of the current one, with him personally mediating the session. I immediately accepted his generous offer, and for the first time in a while, I felt a huge burden being lifted off my shoulders. If anyone understood and could accurately articulate the details and importance of OGame to her, it was the Master, no doubt.


    I thanked the Master for being so kind to me, always offering words of wisdom and encouragement in times of need. Then, after abruptly being put on hold for a minute, he politely told me he had to go. Funnily enough, Faker called and was on the other line with him, in desperate need of advice for the world finals on Sunday.


    FR Def, GG MasterCard.

    I haven’t spoken to MasterMind since my last post, but I have a story I feel compelled to share on this dank Halloween evening. It’s about time someone tells it, for without it, one cannot truly comprehend the complex circumstances that led the Master to fulfill his destiny and become who he is now.


    It’s important to know that MasterMind wasn’t born with the godlike skills and proficiency he commands today. In order to truly understand his rise to glory, and the journey that led him to become the unstoppable monster he has turned into, I need to take you back some 21 years — to the spring of 2004.


    MasterMind was but a young boy back then, living with his family in a small house on the outskirts of Braga. Already then, it was obvious to many that he was a special kid — a prodigy who possessed unbelievable potential to master whatever field he deemed worthy.


    In school, MasterMind stood out due to his immense knowledge on a vast range of topics, and his high-pitched voice that followed him well into adulthood. At this time, he was known by his classmates simply as Excel, due in part to his advanced understanding of math. The other kids were naturally jealous of him, and so they resorted to one of humanity’s most basic instincts — to mock and bully those they secretly envy. This relentless ridicule broke something deep inside the young prodigy, and his perception of the human race began to change (something that would later lead to him preferring Kaelesh in OGame).


    It was around this time that he and his classmates discovered the mighty OGame, most of them playing together on the same server. The self-proclaimed cool kids of the class had created an alliance called “ExcelSucks” — a direct and vicious personal attack on the Master’s dignity.


    Then came the day that changed everything. The classmates were suddenly kind — welcoming, engaging, almost friendly. Excel didn’t understand why, but after years of cruelty, it was comforting to let his guard down for once and engage in conversation without being ridiculed. He stayed after school with most of the group that day (except Diego, who had to leave early for football practice), talking for hours about history class, Dragon Ball Z, and everything in between. But then, just as they were in the middle of a conversation, one of them received a message. Moments later, he suggested the group call it a day and head home. On his walk home, Excel thought about his strange day at school, and about how different life might be moving forward if this was an indication of the future to come.


    But then it hit him like lightning from a clear sky — OGame. The Master had anticipated going straight home from school when he sent out his FS in the morning, and had completely forgotten about time and place, his fleet having sat unattended for multiple hours at this point. He rushed home, ran into his room, and booted up his old Windows XP PC. And there it was — his worst fears were confirmed. His entire fleet, including his over 150 destroyers, had been wiped in combat. Worst of all, the combat report showed the attacker to be Diego from the ExcelSucks alliance.


    MasterMind was crushed, tears flowing down his face. He had been deceived — the other kids had fooled him into hanging out so that his fleet would be vulnerable and unguarded. The betrayal filled his heart with sadness and anger, and he didn’t even leave his room for dinner that day.


    But as the saying goes, from the ashes a phoenix will rise — and this one would turn out to be more powerful than anyone at school could have ever possibly imagined. Excel swore to himself that he would never again be deceived by fake kindness, and that he would have his revenge on everyone who, for so long, had made his life miserable.

    By the time the sun had gone down and come up again, shining its bright rays through the window into his room, Excel was no longer present in it. Instead, they shone upon the face of his new alter ego — the person we now have come to know as MasterMind.


    MasterMind decided to permanently drop out of school that day, and began dedicating all of his waking hours to OGame. It didn’t take long before he started tearing apart the ExcelSucks alliance, one by one, farming each of their planets into oblivion during school hours, when they had no chance of coming online to defend.

    About a year later, MasterMind had destroyed everyone who had crossed him previously, and his revenge was complete with the annihilation of Diego’s fleet. It is said that in his final moments, Diego begged for mercy following a successful moon break from the Master — but mercy and compassion were no longer feelings that registered with MasterMind. He taunted Diego relentlessly as he disintegrated his entire fleet into one big pile of floating resources.


    Many people would have thought that this was the end — that the final retribution had come, and the Master was at last satisfied and ready to move on to do something different with his time. But little did anyone know that his reign had only just begun, and that he would go on to become the most destructive and feared vmode fleeter in all of OGame history.


    FR again, Def. GG MasterCard — I am more than honoured to be present during your everlasting reign, and even more so for being given the opportunity to document your journey. All of these noobs will eventually learn, one special ed class at a time.

    I decided to call MasterMind earlier today on my way to a couples therapy session, and we had yet another wonderful conversation, to say the least.


    I asked him how Eritrea has been treating him, and he assured me that it has been great so far. Apparently, he is staying in a comfortable hidmo, less than half an hour outside of Asmara.

    He told me that the locals there all know who he is and have heard stories about him and his impressive OGame endeavours. There’s a legend going around that the Master once crashed a fleet so large, the combat report had to be delivered in multiple parts over the course of an hour.


    I asked him how his writing was coming along, but I was met with dead silence. The Master confided in me after an awkward minute that he’s been having a bit of trouble with chapter 9 — specifically about how to dumb down his detailed step-by-step guide to domination, making it understandable for us average IQ peasants.


    People don’t realise the flip side of the coin that comes with reaching the level of genius the Master has. It reminds me of the old tale of King Midas — except instead of gold, everything he touches turns to debris. MasterMind told me that he is attending a theatrical performance tonight as a guest of honour. Apparently, there’s a progressive local theatre in Adi Nefas pushing to further promote the underappreciated art of lesbian dance theory.


    Furthermore, he told me that he is adapting his Fafnir account to a new meta strategy he has helped pioneer, called KAS (Kaelesh Advanced Strategy), and lost a few points this week due to his wish to divert resources away from mines. A small bump in the road right now, but in the long run, according to his calculations, it will make MasterMind Excel.


    I confessed to the Master how close I was to losing my own Reaper collection earlier in the week. I had been beyond tired in the evening and, by mistake, ended up sending my FS from a planet — dirty DF style. I woke up to numerous inbound attacks, with the main one locked just one second behind my fleet returning. Thankfully, I have made it a habit to always have a couple hundred metal packs lying around for this exact scenario, and I ended up successfully pulling a FlavaSava (also a disciple, but not that of the Master’s — he, alongside his Bamboo crew, supposedly follows the teachings of Benito Mussolini closely in an undisclosed Italian forest) on the attacker. Ultimately, his fleet proved to be no match for my newly amassed army of Gauss cannons.


    The Master congratulated me on my victory before letting me know he had to leave, and we agreed to be in touch again soon.

    Good hit SPQR, FR def — but most importantly, GG MasterCard.

    I decided to give the Master a call Tuesday evening after having rewatched the first Scooby-Doo movie (you know, the one on Mystery Island — all-time banger).


    MasterMind didn’t pick up immediately, which concerned me immensely, fearing we might have another Haiti situation on our hands. And just as I was debating whether or not to call the police and have them do a welfare check on him, my phone lit up with his number on the caller ID. The Master sounded slightly tired, almost as if I had woken him up from a nap. This, of course, wasn’t a possibility, given people of the Master’s greatness don’t indulge in peasant activities as simple-minded as sleep, for their minds do not require it.


    His voice was a bit raspy, but finally being able to hear him again made me tear up slightly. I asked him how he was doing and if the party a few weeks ago had gone well, which he assured me that it had. He told me that Nello (a loyal disciple and close friend of both the Master and Diddy) had gotten blackout drunk and had to be escorted home after having thrown up on Renkin (a faithful, semi-competent servant of the Master — think of him as Wormtail from Harry Potter) following an otherwise successful mosh pit.


    He told me about one of his biggest accomplishments yet, specifically his hit against Dasker, which I had already seen prior on the board. I congratulated the Master on another genius hit but made sure to also voice my concerns about the recent lack of Reapers in his fleet composition. He assured me that he is going to make Reapers great again, which made me immensely happy. MasterMind told me that he is going away for a bit; as it turns out, he has another exciting trip planned — a getaway for a week’s time to Eritrea to focus on his upcoming book. He told me that the publishing company he chose keeps calling him and asking him all sorts of ridiculous questions, pressuring him to finish it ASAP. Society has always had a way of mistreating its geniuses, applying unnecessary pressure, and when it comes to the Master, it is no exception.


    I told him about my own current personal struggles. The wife had decided she needed some time for herself and has temporarily moved in with her sister. Something about our values drifting apart — I didn’t really understand what she was saying, but I thought a few weeks of uninterrupted OGame and more time on the phone with the Master sounded exactly like what I needed.

    The Master comforted me over the phone before informing me that pack sale was live on OGame, and he was looking to invest in some more packs. Classic MasterMind, I thought — always one step ahead of his opponents, if you can even call them that. He asked me if I could send him some money — something about the IRS being up his neck with all sorts of fictitious questions as it pertains to his legitimate tax-exempt religious organization. I sent him 500 euros on PayPal, and for me, I can say that it was worth it, just to hear him light up slightly on the phone.


    He thanked me and told me how much it meant to him, being able to compete with his newfound arch-nemesis SPQR. It always amazes me that people still try to take swings at the GOAT of OGame. MasterMind doesn’t even FS anymore, and still, people can’t catch him! MasterMind promised me that he will be reachable during his trip and encouraged me to give him a call in the coming week, which made me smile immensely. We said our goodbyes, and shortly after, I fell asleep with my fleet down — a trick I learned from the FARM alliance back in the day.


    FR def, GG MasterCard.

    I had just got done grocery shopping last night when my phone rang as I was driving home. The display told me it was the Master. Surprised and excited, I answered quickly, expecting a happy MasterMind on the other end of the phone. Upon picking up, I could immediately hear the loud music from his end — a great indication that his event was going according to plan.


    But then I was met with a voice I had never heard before, starting to ask me questions. As it turns out, it was NelloDoormat (a fellow disciple also known as NelloDominat) that had called me using the Master’s phone.

    He told me that he had just finished reading the Oxford Dictionary and had decided to call me upon being informed that the party had momentarily run out of baby oil.


    Apparently, he is a big fan of my writing and shares my belief in MasterMind being the chosen one of our generation — the Anakin Skywalker of OGame, so to speak. He told me that the Master was heavily intoxicated and had wrapped his tongue around anything liquid he could get his hands on. A classic telltale sign of a genius, I thought — always open to expanding his mind and exploring new avenues.


    As it turns out, the band they had hired in advance had canceled on them last minute, so they had to improvise and ended up getting Greta Thunberg to DJ on short notice. Nello told me about his frustrations at large — about his sexuality, but also with modern OGame — touching upon points the Master has already well covered on here, ranging from how most of the top players have no skill but only credit cards, and hide in vmode constantly like a shadow at sunrise, to the larger community hating on MasterMind, sleeping on his undeniable greatness.


    I tried my best to comfort Nello, telling him about how, historically, humans are wired to fear and reject what they cannot understand or explain. I gave him an analogy between Jesus and the Master — not to smear the Master or claim that Jesus was in any way half of the divine being that of the Master — but just to illustrate my point. I could tell I had touched a nerve, almost like I had stepped on the Doormat with my insight, but in a comforting and insightful way.


    Nello thanked me for taking the time to talk before informing me that it was just announced that more baby oil had been acquired, and the party was about to resume. I wished him a happy evening and reminded him to use caution and protection in all of life’s aspects.


    GG Nello, you might have lost this battle (and countless others), but know that in the end, UNiTY will always prevail =)

    After many weeks of not being able to reach him, MasterMind finally called me out of the blue a few hours ago.


    I asked him how come he had been so hard to reach lately, and he explained to me in detail (that I cannot get into on here), about the difficulties he and his team had been facing in Haiti. It's fair to say that without the Master's exceptional survival instincts, negotiating tactics and Mensa-level IQ, the humanitarian team he was leading likely would not have made it back in full.


    MasterMind was excited on the phone, as it turns out after his latest run-in with the long arms of the OGame justice system in Keid, the Master told me he has finally decided to return for real, but on a different server.

    The Master told me that one of his long and faithful disciples (the main competitor of Khaos, the fallen former gang member of FTS) called Ares, had handed over a sacrificial goat, in the form of his Fafnir account to the Master.


    MasterCard had not even been in possession of the account for more than a day, before he started making hits left and right, in his usual Michael Jackson-inspired fashion. I took a closer look at one of the CRs, specifically the one against Setto (Kaiba). And while the initial disappointment of no Reapers was undeniable, the almost 3m BCs was still an impressive sight to behold.


    "These noobs have no skills, only credit cards," he told me, in an almost dissatisfactory voice. "I will have to teach them all a lesson I learned first hand at a gay bar in Timbuktu."

    And before I got to hear any of the juicy details that evening surely entailed, all of a sudden my wife had sneaked up on me and started asking me all sorts of questions, ranging from who I was talking with to when I would start making dinner.


    It was indeed my turn to prepare a meal for the evening, but I felt strongly that the Master’s return to the almighty OGame, let alone the return to my phone, was more deserving of my time, so I did the reasonable thing of sending her out to pick up some fast food.

    As I got back on the phone, the Master was openly unhappy with having been left on hold, a truly egregious crime against someone with so much to do, and so little time. I reminded the Master to remember to FS, but he assured me that he had already toggled on vmode. A smart and calculated decision as per usual, I thought.


    He told me about an upcoming alliance event, in the name of UNiTY that he will be hosting on Saturday and invited me to attend. At first I blindly accepted and thanked the Master for having thought of me, for this exclusive event. Then as more details were expanded upon, it turned out said event was not online and strictly required a valid negative STD test for all attendees, to which with much regret I had to decline.


    The Master seemed annoyed with me, and it wasn't long before he informed me he had to go and start planning out said event in more detail, and just as we were saying our goodbyes, food had arrived and I grabbed a quick bite while watching some Netflix.


    GG MasterCard, always a pleasure, I hope to hear from you again soon =)

    Excel could you please chime in to defend the master against this endless river of slander?


    I am sick and tired of these unapologetic forum goblins accusing the master of everything under the sun, denying his greatness and diminishing his accomplishments on the most serious server in all of .org.


    Everyday, MasterCard swipes away to either get packs or rainbow-themed towels for the homeless, showing relentless dedication to supporting others through his paycheck. And yet most comments here downplay his genius, making him sound like an ordinary player with a big wallet.


    I can assure you all, from the numerous calls I've had with MasterMind, that he is the real deal and a future Ogame Player of the Year. The truth will come to light—if not through the boards, then at the latest on December 14th when his book officially releases.

    (It will be available on Amazon shortly; please make sure you pre-order.)


    Thank you to those rightfully standing by the Master, as he allows us to witness the depth of his magnificent brain in action, free of charge.

    And for those still in denial about his greatness, I leave you with these early reviews:


    "Equal parts memoir, tactical gospel, and post-capitalist fever dream — this is not a book, it is an event unfolding before us." — The New York Times, on How I Mastered the Mind.


    "His mind is not just mastered — it’s meta." — The Oslo Review of Tactical Arts, on How I Mastered the Mind.


    "A genre-shattering manifesto that blends Sun Tzu, Karl Marx, and a dash of Shakespeare into one radiant doctrine of digital supremacy. If Socrates were alive today, he'd be cosplaying as a reaper at QueerCon in honor of the Master." — Le Cri de Kéké, on How I Mastered the Mind.

    I woke up yesterday morning to a string of missed calls and four voice messages from MasterMind, each more incoherent and euphoric than the last. I knew something had happened, and so i rushed out of bed, quietly as not to wake up the wife, and called him back while brewing coffee.


    "Pack sale is live" he told me in an ecstatic voice, before showing me his inventory of close to 700 metal packs. Finally, i thought, the masters prayers had been heard.


    He then told me about his newest hit single, featuring a new disciple of his called Renkin. After Khaos (a long faithful disciple of his) had decided to leave the server, he'd been busy recruiting new minions and Renkin has shown great willingness to serve, thus far.


    This time it was another top 2 ACS attack, against an inactive and some of his friends. I scrolled through the CR and although it was yet another successful battle for the master, the lack of additional insta'd reapers left a bit to be desired. Solid 7/10 from me.


    With most of the active adults on the server long since recycled, it was only natural that he would now turn his attention to the Keids. A younger, yet experienced breed of players, full of hope and tiny fleets.


    As the master so often rightfully says, DM won't buy you skill, but perhaps the even harsher truth for the defenders in this hit, is that skill won't buy you DM.


    He also gave me a brief update on his literary pursuits. Apparently, his upcoming book, “How I Mastered the Mind: A Memoir of Firepower, Frugality and Vmoding”, had just received early praise from a niche academic reviewer in Luxembourg. It’s being described as “a blistering, genre-bending manifesto for the digital age.” MasterMind told me he wrote the entire third chapter in one sitting, during the attack on The Butcher (another player that keeps getting his insta BCs recycled left and right).


    I wanted to ask more, specifically about how many more reapers were en route with his newly acquired packs. And maybe a snippet of Chapter Four, but the master informed me that he had to go.


    Apparently a local radio station in Port-au-Prince had invited him last minute for a live interview on the philosophy of online warfare. "I’ll be debating a StarCraft player and a Clash of Clans content creator" he said. "I need to prepare my opening statement on zero effort dominance".


    He told me the debate might get heated - as it turns out the StarCraft player has, on numerous occasions, accused the master of being a pay-to-win theorist. The usual baseless slander.


    And just like that, the line went quiet.

    GG MasterCard, GLIRL/FR Keids.

    MasterMind called me from Haiti today, asking me if i wanted to play. Finally i thought, it was time to crash some more DM abusers with no skill.

    I logged into Ogame, and started probing around noticing the master hadn't logged on yet. A few minutes had gone by before i mustered up the courage to ask the master, when he was coming on.


    MasterCard told me that he wasn't talking about Ogame, he went on a lengthy monologue about how the real resource in the world isn't metal but time, and that everyone is enslaved by timers, so now he is temporarily reclaiming sovereignty by not logging on.


    It turns out he wanted to play League of Legends, an old strategy game from the same decade as the mighty Ogame, and one of the masters favorite. Hesitantly i agreed, and upon logging in i saw that the new limited Kaisa legend skin was only 425 euro. I instantly bought it, and for me i can say that it was worth it. It wasn't long after until we were in queue for a ranked game of summoner's rift.


    In champ select i took the opportunity to look at the Masters op.gg, 483 games played this split with almost 200 wins. Impressive to say the least.

    The Master got a hold of his main, Malzahar jungle, and it seemed to be yet another easy W in the making.


    However once we got into the game, something strange happened, the minions had spawned but the goat was still standing in fountain.

    I asked him if he had connection issues, to which he assured me he didn't. "They can't kill me in here" he told me in a firm matter of fact tone, before leaving to get something to drink.


    20 minutes and 7 ganks later by the opposing teams toxic Shaco jgl, the master finally started walking out to his jungle, now with a ROA in his inventory.


    "Why did you feed the Shaco" he asked me. Embarrassed, but not wanting to lose face in front of the goat, i jokingly told him it's so that he can get the shutdown. He seemed displeased with my answer.

    The master cleared his jungle in just under 4 minutes, before all of a sudden the enemy team had gathered to wait for baron spawn after a successful gank top.


    A surrender vote was started, but the Master insisted we play on, "Let me farm" he told me, before invading the opposing bot side jungle, effectively handing over the baron.

    He told me that he despises all these noobs that don't know how to play safe, and that he is tired of playing safe himself all laning phase while his team feed kills left and right.


    I couldn't disagree with him, the masters early game had been exceptional and deathless.

    The enemy team still hadn't gotten a glimpse of his inventory, due to never being seen, hiding in the shadows of the jungle, rendering them unable to counter his build.


    One team fight later without the goat present, it was all over, Shacos risk of leaving the fountain early had proven fruitful, and ultimately too much to handle. With superminions flooding around our nexus turrets, the master let out a big sigh before smiting the enemy blue buff, after which we were met with the defeat screen.


    I apologized to the master for having fed the toxic Shaco, and he accepted my apology. MasterMind is kind in that way, even when Breizh fed Biggy 10B res, the Master didn't disown his disciple. I hinted at the possibility of playing another game, but sadly MasterMind had other plans, him being the co-host of a fundraising event for a local communist political candidate.


    GG WP MasterCard, we'll get em next time!

    I went for a walk to call MasterMind Tuesday evening after having put the kids to bed, the wife had seemed concerned lately and was displeased with my relentless conversational initiatives towards her regarding the master, she had started referring to him as "that man from the phone".


    "It's just a game" she said, of course she wouldn't understand, it would be foolish of me to expect her to. Many people had previously attempted to downplay the genius of the master, by making similar claims. But it was never going to stop me from sneaking out and calling him.


    MasterMind sounded happy on the phone, as it turns out his plans had all but come to fruition. After a successful attack on Biggy, many people would have assumed the master would do the inevitable and toggle vmode back on instantly.


    But MasterMind had other plans, and after a successful MD mission on the former goat Michael Corleone, the master had struck gold yet again. This time alongside a quiet one of his disciples, whose only skill is catching idle fleets and buying DM, as the master himself told us in a previous post.


    He sent me the CR and i couldn't believe my eyes, another 700k reapers had been insta'd, a fine addition to his already extensive collection.


    I asked him how come he had decided to leave the shadows, without a pack event present. I heard a chuckle, "Maybe the real event is the packs we bought along the way" he replied. I was out of words, i had never thought about it in that way.


    Vaguely remembering the conversation from our last discourse, i congratulated the master on having been approved at Mensa, a valuable acquisition for their organizational resume, i thought. The master cut me off, he told me that apparently his approval was pending an in-house IQ test, to which he understandably took great offense upon learning.


    Infuriated hearing this, i felt it was in its place to apologize on their behalf. The master accepted the apology, before informing me he had to leave.


    It turns out that on very short notice, MasterMind was forced to vmode as through his relentless volunteer work, he was being sent on a humanitarian mission to Haiti to promote diversity and inclusion, while also fighting world hunger.


    FR Def, GG MasterCard - Have a wonderful trip!

    I was woken up in the middle of the night right after server reset by MasterMind calling me repeatedly, "I got Biggy" he told me. In shock and disbelief i rushed to my computer to confirm, the master is well known for being the speaker of truth, but this claim would have meant that he would have had to leave vmode without a pack sale event in sight.


    But there it was right in front of my eyes, Biggy had been recycled by the Master and his main disciple Khaos.

    The Master had done it again, another adversary had fallen prey to his 600k insta'd reapers, proven just how destructive the ship can be in the hands of the undisputed goat.


    It was a no skill idle fleet hit, as the master himself would have said, but it didn't matter this time as all the accolades belonged to him, and him alone.


    Raising his credit card limit had proven beyond prolific, and somewhere in between telling me about his Mensa application getting accepted and the master laying out his plans for the remainder of the day, i succumbed to my sleep deprivation and fell asleep.


    I'm sorry Master, i know it was unacceptable of me to pass out on you in the middle of your pontification, i will call you again soon at a more appropriate time to catch up properly.

    GG MasterCard, FR Defender.

    I called Mastermind today during lunch, wanting to hear if he was ok and how come he decided not to exit vmode after all. He seemed disinterested in my question. He wanted to know when the next pack sale event would be, to which i didn’t have an answer.


    I asked him if he would come out of vmode tomorrow but he insisted that he will not unless pack sale is live, he told me that he is tired of leaving vacation mode and that he doesn’t like that other people can attack him when he is out of it, he also suggested to me that one should still be able to launch attacks while in vmode.


    He later confessed that he doesn’t want to fleet anymore, apparently he had this dream in which he was a miner, and his mines were huge and he never had to leave vacation mode.


    I didn’t understand his dream, but my brain capacity is also nowhere near that of the master. He asked me if i could provide him with a small loan for the next DM sale to make his dream a reality, which i reluctantly had to decline.


    MasterMind sounded a little defeated but i think he understood, he got that i didn’t mean to cause him any harm, i just wasn’t smart enough to fully grasp this comprehensive vision of his.


    He told me to call him when pack sale is live, before he had to go due to attending a pride parade.


    FR def, GG MasterCard - we hope for a pack event soon =)

    I had the pleasure of speaking with MasterMind earlier today and he told me that he is considering coming out of vmode tomorrow for a few hours, to assert his dominance by probing around for an hour or two before going back to vmode again.


    I asked him why he cannot seem to stay out of vmode for more than a few hours every other day and his answer shocked me, it turns out that besides being the undisputed goat of Ogame, Mastermind spends most of his time volunteering for the LGBTQIA+ movement!


    Not only is he dedicating his hours to supporting this community through packing and writing lengthy essays to us common gamers about the ways in which to master one of the most complicated browser games from 2002, he is also a strong queer ally using his voice to stand up to fascism and homophobia!


    I for one will be nominating him for Ogame player of the year, and i hope that the community at large will stand behind the Master in his mission to make this world a better place.

    Mastermind was out for a few hours earlier today (risky business) and after stacking up on some DM on sale, he decided to return to vmode again to wait for pack sale (he confirmed this to me privately).


    Once pack sales comes around again, he will be out at least for a day clicking through the packs and insta some more fleet, before returning back to vmode.


    Meanwhile you will have to interact with him on the boards, as he is currently practicing his story writing abilities for his upcoming best seller "How I Mastered The Mind" (it's available on Amazon December 2025 - hopefully it will be able to boost his DM purchasing power for the holiday event)


    I have a theory i would like to present to you MasterCard, what if everyone on the entire server was all bots run by Biggy and Medalist? And you're the only other real player? Food for thought for your next conspiracy theory =)

    I think that MasterCard has already proven in this very serious seasonal uni, that he is the undisputed goat and even the great Michael Corleone is no match for him.


    The skill he has displayed thus far is none like we've seen before, he's playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers trying to actively fleet and grow the account through hits, Mastermind just sits in vmode and wait for pack sale.


    For all the players in Keid - You should be thankful you get to witness the now undisputed GOAT in action, pay attention to his teachings and never underestimate the Master, or he might just insta 600k reapers on you, but also money doesn't buy skill!
