Would You Consider This A Backstab?

"Vacuum"? Ok, it ain't me.

That's encouraging.

My ship naming scheme is so simple achild could understand it. (standard USN scheme, really)

What I meant by the warp point/fleet movement thing was written too fast to be clear: I closed a WP that I thought we had discussed as one you wanted closing.

In a *separate* issue, I have also been moving some fleets around, so I could envision a situation where they took the "shortest route" to their destinations - and that might have taken them over your planets.

It looks like that is not what happened. Now, I may still have screwed up by closing the WP, but it's clear that it wasn't a backstab. "Vacuum" - bah, who names their ships Vacuum?

Well, sachmo, not sure what you mean but I'm talking to alarikf offline now. alarikf's message is a bit confusing, especially this part, "...cause he thought you wanted that WP removed and he told his ships to travel to waypoint X...which happened to take them through that system...". One can't move to a warp point and then close it. You have to be sitting on it at the beginning of the turn. As to traveling, the fleet I suspect of doing it didn't travel for 2 turns.

But, recognizing I could have the wrong idea who did it, I'm discussing it with alarikf now. But the fleet in question has a single ship there where the hole disappeared named "Vaccuum". Might just be a fluke. I'll find out before I take any stupid action.

I must say your actions in the Last few turns have got me a little concerned as well Alarik. Re-positioning fleets over warp points between our systems, opening warp points to my systems and closing warp points to my ally Slykys space. These actions seem to have a pattern, and the pattern is not a good one. Perhaps it's just a coincindence. Afterall you only a few turns ago made a huge show of telling everybody you still wanted to be friends after taking over the Deccan. You wouldn't do that if you were planning an attack now would you?

[AMF]

double bah!

My take on the situation is this: you guys are fighting, I'm just trying to defend my self and avoid collateral damage, while bringing my three (distant) pieces of empire in touch with each other. SO, yep, I've been closing WPs and opening others to "rationalize" the deccan space, but at the moment it's defensive. Having said this, I am pretty nervous about becoming a highway for maruading fleets to go through to pound their enemies, and I presume that my allies don't want me sitting on the fence while they are in a war. So, I don't preclude future combatoperations to support my allies.

To Atrocities: As far as I can tell, it is Anklebiters, unless they are purposefully using deception to hide the true name of the game in question.
