Evidence That Your An Idiot Emperor If:

[Mayday]

193. You miss those very important reports about a star exploding because it got lost amongst the numerous Lack of Resources reports, only to miss the further reports of the explosion later on because of the same Lack of Resources reports, and only make the discovery later on when the colony ship with no supplies left you sent to colonise a planet there, finally makes it to where the planet used to be and informs you that there's nothing there to colonise.

194. Your weak, pathetic enemy waits until your entire mighty warfleet falls into total disrepair from lack of maintenance and is written off, before launching a single successful attack which causes every planet in your empire to rebel.
