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.

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.

Yes, as UE says, I have never come back from such a desperate position. Planets rioting, a large enemy fleet in my home system, no time to train new ships... It was desperate for sure. Somehow I managed to scrape together a few ships and won a WP battle against the odds...

Here was an email from that time;

>Well, this really is some game... just when I think I am dead and buried once more, I destroy the entire Yawning Fleet at the Mentocka WP. I have to divert everything I have against him now while he is on the back foot and try to take him out. I underestimated him before. Can you keep the Serpants quiet in the meantime...

Looks like we have another player drop from the game. No surprise really I guess.

As leader of the Serpents, I had a great game trying to be the mega-evil empire. The game was fun and challenging. Yawning was a stalwart ally to the bitter end. In regards to multi-player SEIV, Mediocrity was my most enjoyable game ever.

My only complaint: Intel projects! What a way to unbalance and wreck and a perfectly good game…

So, is anyone interested in Mediocrity 2 + No Intel?
