Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
A few turns ago the Space Vikings made contact with another race. Being the friendly guy that I am, I proposed a treaty of trade and research right away and wrote some nice role playing text: "Greetings from the Space Vikings... (blahblahblah)". Two turns later I got the answer:"Now is not the time for alliances." I thought that was pretty rude. At least that player could have written some more personal text. So I checked out who it was, only to find out it was one of the AI races... (Duh !)  .
Note to myself:"The AI doesn't really care what you write in Messages..."

Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
Well, on the bad side, Dragon just broke a treaty worth 40k credits per turn, which put me in dept 10k per turn.
The good news (?) is he blew away my fleet at the same time, so I'm not running negative.
Did I mention my entire fleet was being retrofitted at the time?

Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
OK, I am SERIOUSLY embarrased.
Despite having a much, much larger tech base, the Dragons didn't have phased shields when they attacked. I did, and we were both uisng PPB Vs. If I hadn't refitted my entire fleet at the same time, I would have tore him to bits!

Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
Yes I was surprised I survived that battle so well ! My ships in that fleet were outdated of course, they had been sitting in that system for 6 months while I tried to sort out the diplomacy. I assume I had the luck that I attacked just as he was refitting his shields !
Meanwhile, hell is breaking loose. 4 AI races suddenly decided to declare war on me, for a moment I though I went MEE but I don't think so because 2 other AI's are still trading with me. Perhaps some treachary from a human whom I gave the AI comm channels in good faith and then persuaded them to attack me?
Hmm, I must investigate...will keep you all posted.

Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
If so, the human player isn't _me_. I still barely have any contact at all with the outside world at this point, let alone influence.

Re: Spiralus PBW discussion thread.
Well, all hell is breaking loose now in Spiralus. But most players are intimately involved in this (except Rollo I think) so I'm not sure how much info I should post here. If there's anybody out there who is not in tihs game and would like to know how it is going, let me know.
