Default Expert player looking for challenge, or masochistic Newbie?

The Glorious Zax Empire in NGC3 at PBW is looking for a new leaderr.
The empire has some assets, some large fleets and has aquired some Talisman ships despite not being religious.
It is challanged by a very strong threeway alliance, the odds of it's long time survival seems poor, but it still has a lot of bite to give.

It is a Merchant Rock Carbon Dioxide race with superior intelligence, has advanced storage techniques and impressive maintnance and in other areas tweaked aswell.

If anyone else in NGC3 can give some more accurate information than my feeble spies have produced feel free to post here.

If you want to give it a try please go ahead!

(Newbie) Galactic Combat 3 in PBW, the first free slot for a long time in this 20 player 255 systems game!

The Vorlon Intel network indicates that they still have some friends willing to sell and loan them resources and ships....

While I am on the other side of the Galaxy and cant speak for the 3 way alliance - would you consider a 5 turn truce to let the new player assess the situation?

I'm not involved in the war, to far away. Only knows what loser and others have posted and what my scout ships have showed me.

Well, depends. If a expert player is going to take over, 5 turns might be a bit much, I'd suggest 3 turns. A masochistic newbie may be granted 5 turns...

And I can only speak for myself. Roanon, Teal?

As to more accurate informations about the current situation of ZAX: look at this thread. The details revealed here might be interesting. Also take a look at the NGC3 story thread.

Things actually look quite grim for this empire (see thread title ). So we are looking for someone who wants to make the Last fight of this empire as tough as possible for it's enemies .

I'm interested in this but I'm not a very good RP player since I have neither time nor skills to write stories. Does it matter?

Not for long I hope

As for the truce, I hesitate to let a few hundred ships sit around doing nothing, I have other enemies that need the attention of these ships which I hoped to be free for other actions soon. As Asmala is not really a bad player, we are already making a bad deal with this exchange A few turns with limited actions might be ok though, check the turn file Asmala and tell us what you think you will need.

No problem, Loser (former player of ZAX) hadn't time for writing stories either. That's just for the few of us who have too much time .

Give us a challenging fight, that's all we ask for .

Man, you are mad. But if you're interested in this, PM me your e-mail address and I'll tell you everything.

It is complicated.

And poorly organized.

And a losing situation.

Good luck.

Loser, it doesn't matter if it's poorly organized or a losing situation. All I hope is that you have some ships so I will be able to go on the rampage!
