Oh, I was talking about the other 2vs2 game, the one with Gecko and Belisarius, and not our current one Parabolize. I would never brag around until the Other Side has surrendered, and I will definitively not boast if I lose.

2 x 2 (Alneyan/Slynky -vs- Electrum/Parabolize) - 2404.0

Well, things are sorting out and the game looks even so far (1st place and 4th place -vs- 2nd place and 3rd place...averages out to 5 and 5).

I always like these games though I know they can be a REAL nail-biter! Full-tech and all. What's good about this sort of game, besides being able to use things you never get to use in KOTH (for example) is the wide variety of choices. I have quite a variety of ship designs already!

Win or lose, it's gonna be fun. Just don't forget, Parabolize, I have the unimaginable Alneyan with me...no telling what he might do...not as predictable with me and my satellites...

. This is his first full-tech game and he's having a ball with all the toys to play with

Oh, if I were Parabolize or Electrum, I would rather keep a close watch on Slynky, and merely await for my League to destroy her warships on her own, as I am the best player when it comes to losing battles which should be gained. If you are nice enough, I might even considering scouting what lies *inside* a Black Hole with half my war fleet.

I don't have that many toys to play with Slynky, and for once I don't even use my Infamous Light Carriers, and I do feel naked without my reseach powerhouse behind me. Besides this, not much is going on for the moment being, but I like it this way. Perhaps we should consider a mutual alliance for prosperity and... Erh, not so I guess.

I think we are winning in expansion but I fear some huge fleet is coming to change that.

Mulch may not be much of a toy but it does take up a lot of space

Hmmm, maybe I should count system availability...looking at the map, I thought we controlled more than half of it. (perhaps I need to replace my Exploration Minister

)

"Mulch" is ONE UGLY SHIP! I'd be ashamed to captain something like that

Alneyan without his Infamous Light Carriers?
I just can't imagine it.
