Slynky surrenders. It was a game of "too much": Joachim had too much of the galaxy, too much skill, and too many ships! I've played him enough to know he will be unstopable with this kind of advantage...so I've saved time for both him and me by doing the honorable thing...surrendering in the face of the obvious.

You played a very good game. But you owe me! Anyone who stops me from getting a shot at the King had better knock him off his throne or I feel my defeat was in vain .

Good luck, mate!

Thanks for the game! I trust this wasn't timed well so I might not put you in a nebulae in the up coming grudge team game???

I will do my best up top - though the rarefied atmosphere is making me giddy.

I was suprised that you didn't attack my lonely planet all by itself in the shared system we had. Also I didn't see you come into the system to the east of it either? Of course this just made me more paranoid about what to expect!

Hehe, I figured if I surrendered BEFORE you placed me it might add some insurance I didn't get a homeworld in an asteroid field, either .

As to the lonely planet, I already told you my plan to try to gain back some lost advantage...I prepared for 10-12 turns building sweepers, troops, and troopships to try to get the breathers. I moved them within 1 turn's movement the same turn you showed up with 48 ships . To me, it was worth more to try to get breathers from it than just glassing it.

And the system to the east you referred to, since I fought 4 or 5 ships in the system to the east of THAT one, I assumed you already had shipyards in there and the usual mines, etc. Since where that occurred at was at the far end of my exploration, I didn't have the system built up yet and there was only one SY at the time I fought those few ships of yours. And I nearly got beat, remember.
