Vezzra, may I break your morale now? You are ranked as number 7 because of a specificity of the NethernoS. I will tell you in my next e-mail, although it isn't exactly a secret. Without this factor, I fear the NethernoS would fall a bit behind in scores. (In fact, my Empire is currently ranked 13th while I have a stronger economy, more research done, and a true military)

You should ask the People's Empire about my... generosity. *Smirks* After the first Crisis (AI directed Empire), I believe the NethernoS add between seven to nine Retribution warships (the very first in the Retribution series) I don't remember the exact number of weapons on each, but you get my meaning. When I left, the NethernoS were still not quite a military power, but they could destroy at least a few ships.

Loser, I was not talking about thirty ships, or fifty. *Knowing grin* It was rather a hundred and some, featuring... well some toy. These ships are a bit small though, but I would believe they are not too far behind in technology. (Well... Except if you are using some annoying weapon that is) I never liked the Zax armadas though, so I would rather try my luck against the Rorgs instead. And I don't quite like what you are saying either.

(But of course, it is merely theoretically, as I am a good one year away from these systems, and there are... what, two or three Empires in the way that might object to letting warships through)

We shall see about this conflict between the Zax and the Nyxians, it should prove to be interesting. Anyone willing to bet? (A hundred credits on the Nyxians for me)

Actually you could get at the Rorg just by passing through my space, 5 or 6 systems I think. I wouldn't recomend it though. I have a public and well stated policy of absolute neutrality in the conflicts of others. You can fight each other all you want. Just please keep it outa my front yard. Being right smack in the middle of the Galactic map should make this an interesting position to try and keep. Maybe I'll try to start a Peace in the Galaxy Now movement.

I refuse to reveal any clues, hints, or details that relate or may relate to my military/economic presence and strength.

My money goes on the Nyxians for various reasons I won't disclose.

@Alneyan:

Hehe, don't worry, you do not break my morale

I'm well aware that my ranking does not reflect my true strength. I realized that pretty soon after I took over. But that doesn't matter - I had a very interesting time doing diplomacy till now, staying alive with an empire of this size in a situation like that is an exciting challenge

But if you think that you can do anything in this conflict with merely a hundred ships and some... a bit small and technologically *not too far behind*...

If your fleet wants to be worth mentioning, that should be at least a hundred battlecruisers (or bigger) with cutting edge technology. Anything less loser would be able to crush with his "little" fleet he holds in *spare* to punish me if I dared to side with the Nix

So I'm quietly enjoying my neutrality, hoping that doom will pass and I may live a little longer

As for betting... well, no comment on who will win - I think I'm too much of an insider (almost literally)...

Hmm... so I did.

Why do you roll your eyes at me?

I don't understand why people don't appreciate the clarity of draconian measures.

Really, I thought you'd find the honesty and dependability refreshing.

@Loser:

Oh, I do appreciate the clarity, and the honesty, and the dependability...

As I said, I'm facing a wolf, a lion, and a tiger. So the question is not *if* I'm getting killed, just *how* and by *whom*. Everything is clear, everyone very honest, really no reason to complain...

Vezzra (feeling refreshed)
