[Atrocities]

The biggest *** whooping I ever dished out went to a PBW player who sent his fleet into my home system. I had taken over the empire and had only played about six turns when this huge armada of ships appeared through the worm hole. I do believe if he had had the movement, he would have invaded my homeworld on that turn. I was lucky, I had another population world in the next system along with a crap load of orbital ship yards. I was one turn away from producing about 20 dreanoughts.

Knowning that his fleet, something in the area of 400 ships, including troop transports, was not stopped, it would take the entire system, and the next and my Dreadnought would not be able to stop it.

I was growing very depressed when I noticed one little ship sitting by the sun in my home system. I thought it was there to protect the sun from attack but no, it was a sun killer ideally named, Peacemaker.

In most universes what I did next would be considered genocide, I even wrote a short story about what I did and posted it here.

I blew up my own home systems sun just to kill my enemies fleet. I also sent him a message stating that all of my system had star killers in them and much to my suprise I had a few in systems he controlled. I detonated them and told him in the message that I would destroy all of his star systems if he did not surrender.

As unlikely as it might seem, having lost his fleet and being *****ed back to sixth place or something, he gave up with an angry withdraw from the game a turn or two later.

So I like to think that I won.
