Replacement player luck

[apache]

So, I decided to try this PBW stuff, and joined two games with my own new empire, and one game as a replacement player. One of my own empire's games has started, and I like my position. The other one has yet to start yet. But, as the replacement player for the other game, I have the worst luck. I download the turn, and find in the logs that my homeworld is underattack from an empire who has a base in my home system. Not only that, but the logs show that they destroyed my homeworld. Sure enough, that was my only planet. Why? well, in the next system was yet another hostile empire. The only ships that the remnants of my empire has are two escort sized satellite layers with no weapons, and no satellites. So, I guess we shall see what those two things can destroy on turn .... 12. Thats right, whoever had that empire before me bailed really early, surrounded by two computer empires. Well, maybe I will have better luck in my games.
