Default To players in PbW games I was in

I am sorry to have pulled out. I apologise to the allies I am abandoning, to the opponents who are achieving far victories agaisnt me for which the deserve the contest of a human opponents, and to the poor saps who may get the opportunity to sort out my empires if they take over my games.

I have enjoyed the time I have spent in these games, but my life simply does not allow me to meet this obligation at this time. I will be losing my job in a month or two, and for this reason have been putting in sixty hour weeks since November. I am no longer able to maintain this work schedual and meet my obligations to other play by web players.

I'll be staying on PbC and the Boards, as I can post in those palces from work and have time to make the one-week deadling for PbC.

Again, I'm sorry. Especially to Rags, Vezzra, and Roanon in from the NGC3 game and to the brave souls trying to hold together team U.S.A. in the US vs Lithuania game.

Sorry to hear that , but you *really* have sufficient reason to pull out. I'm loosing my best enemy...

Good luck, hopefully you will be able to return to PBW one day.

Vezzra

I hope to.

I do want you to know, however, that I had just made an interesting deal with another player, and as a result was going to be sending twenty Talismanic Baseships (miricles on order) into your space to follow through on my little promise, while the rest of my empire burned. I probably would have quit Last week were it not for the weight of that specific obligation, and the fact that I thought I might meet it soon.

Still, though I doubt your fighters and smallships would have held back my heretics, they might have fallen to rot before they found your homeworld.

I'm sad that you are leaving, you promised to be my first real opponent... I hope you get all your issues sorted out soon, and will find a new job at least as good as your current.

As for the 20 Baseships, of course Prometheus and I would have helped to defend poor Vezzra and not leave him to be the sole target of your wraith. I think while my battleship production should be sufficient to continue the conquest, my monthly production of 20 Baseships would have been able to match your efforts

All the best to you, I'm looking forward to the day when you will return.

I had a lot more than just the twenty, Roanon. You'll see if you make it to my homeworld shipyard before Nyx or Nether'noS. I just figured twenty would be enough to make a serious attempt to find his homeworld.

Not that I'm certain it would have been successful, of course. But, you and Vezzra weren't rampaging through my space without consequence because I lacked the ships to respond, but rather because I was sending over three hundred ships around other systems to play wack-a-Nyx, and had to scramble to refit them to face a non-religious opponent.

Unless someone takes over the ZAX I suspect you'll find these fleets adrift in space. A shame that.

That is quite a shame that you have had to pull out of your games. But I can understand your reason and I fully respect your decision. This will make the game alot tougher then it already is. But the Rorg will fight on.
