Default Re: Pickup game on PBW, starting now...

Well, I have another interesting story if you want Slynky. Let's say we are on turn 70. Your Empire has a score of 7.5 million points, 800,000 research points (you had 500,000 of them on turn 50), about 2,000,000 resources, 450 ships, 450 colonies, three times as many systems as the other player, and virtually maxed out technology. It doesn't seem to be a poor situation at all.

Now, you have forgotten how to use a military, and got four of your fleets destroyed despite being more numerous and having a tech lead. You have firepower unheard of at your disposal, and yet your target is still alive, smirking and apparently not too frightened by the three hundred dreadnoughts you have just sent on the front. Doesn't that just seem odd?

Oh, I am in the situation described above, and the target is Geo. I have never been doing so well with economics, but my military skills aren't exactly stellar in that game. I believe we should play together again; that was a working association, with your superior designs and my fondness for economics, and our levels are close enough (unlike my association with Primitive, where I only act as Asmala-fodder). Hmm, would that be aggressive recruitment?
