Trithian Empire (Slynky) -vs- Kilrah Clan (Roanon) 2402.3

(standard KOTH but good starting planet instead of average)

Strange game, sort of. I took Ancient race this game and saw that Roanon was the next system over. In fact, I could have built an escort and moved it over his homeworld the 2nd turn. That's CLOSE!

Instead of taking a chance for a win like that, I decided it was better to play it safe and give the game a chance. Besides, who likes to win like that? So, I spent some time blockading the hole to his system instead. Turns out I could have done some serious damage because he didn't know I was "next door" (he ran a colony ship into my defenses). Better game this way, anyhow!

So...now, it's been a matter of expanding and watching the "hole" between us. Not much else to report. Roanon stayed up late playing many turns...he's from Germany...and that deserves an applause!
