Yes, I will enjoy it. Probably more so now after your post than I would have done otherwise. Please try to remember that it's a game, not a matter of honour. I play to win. You are free to play however you wish, and I guess free to criticize me on public forums as well, instead of doing the honorable thing and sending a private email.

Gravey.

One who shows no honor deserves no honor. Yes, it is a game and you should play to win. Stooping to backstabbing tactics though is a cheap way to win. But hey, if that's the way you prefer to win, then go for it. And if you don't like being criticized in public then maybe you ought to rethink your actions. You obviously had the power to win without resorting to that sort of tactic.

>One who shows no honor deserves no honor.

Hmm. One of us is talking about honor within the context of a computer game, the other about a personal attack on a public message board. Can you not see the difference here?

>Stooping to backstabbing tactics though is a cheap way to win.

Yawn... here we go again. There seems to be a small, but occasionally vocal, community that insist the game be played by their rules, and anyone who fails to do so is a cheat, or has no honor, or whatever. I've heard it all before...

Guys, this is not the place for this. Drop it or take the discussion private.

Certainly Geo. I for one would have preferred it to have been kept private all along... Mr Chane, email me privately if you wish to continue the discussion.

Gravey.

Fine. Consider it dropped.

Anyway, we are reaching the end game.
Fun game anyway, at least for me and Gravey101. When both Serpent and Yawning players launched a surprise attack on me and gravey, he was not ready for war and I did not have a single warship able to stand the field. Despite loosing more than half of his planets, gravey (and me!) managed not only to survive the most powerful game alliance but finally to crush our opponents.

Ssssoo swwwet, as would have said the serpents.

We were scorewise 1&4 when we were jumped on(I was 4), the Serpents and yawning were 2 and 3. I remember some of gravey's mail, telling he believed he was almost dead. I remember starting to build up a defense line beyond gravey's frontier, as I feared he was about to be stormed.

As of alliances, those of you I am military allied with know who they are. And it will definitely NOT be indicated by a TR alliance. So do not hold the treaty grid in high estim.

I'm ready for the endgame.

Bring it.
