[Suicide Junkie]

Save the whole turn, so we can look at the battle once it it is old enough to become a "historical documentary".

[tesco samoa]

scratch 208 ships....

looks like someone set him up with the bomb!

Victory in the first battle.

He attacked me and I informed all the other players that he did it without declaring war etc....

Playing an honourable race.

Now to kick some a5

[tesco samoa]

Man another 80 ships and 7 planets later. I think I am getting involved in a slugging match.

I am thinking that I should get out of this before the counter strike happens.

Just before I destroyed his fleet I sent this message

The Royal Court of The Xeragtok Hive Directive 1

TO General Supreme Sessath of The Vrok Expansion

The Xeragtok Hive wish to determine the Vrok Expansion's wishes in the formation of a friendship
between our Cultures
The Xeragtok Hive wish to set up trading routes and Empire Boarders.
The Xeragtok Hive wish to apologise for the destruction of Vrok Expansion's Gun ship class Ship and are willing
to compensate the Vrok Expansion for this loss.
In light of these Requests we must add the following requests due to the current War between
the Xi-Chung and the Xeragtok Hive.
The Reliquia Expansion is currently under dispute between the Xi-Chung and the Xeragtok Hive.

The following activities will be seen as an act of aggression against the Xeragtok Hive and the Xeragtok Hive Imperial Fleet

1. Any Fleet build ups within 60 light years of the Reliquia System and current Xeragtok Hive controlled space.
2. Any Fleets / ships / units located within legally disputed space between the Xeragtok Hive and the Xi-Chung
3. Any industrial sabotage and / or any other intelligent gathering activities against the Xeragtok Hive
4. Selling arms and /or supporting the Xi-Chung empire in the war with the Xeragtok Hive

Es ist ein Fruhling ohne Ende


He replied with nothing ( P.S. I am playing a honorable Subjected Peaceful Race )

So the turn his fleet attacked me I sent this

The Royal Court of The Xeragtok Hive Directive 1.1

TO General Supreme Sessath of The Vrok Expansion

The Xeragtok Hive wish to determine the Vrok Expansion's wishes in the formation of a friendship
between our Cultures
The Xeragtok Hive wish to set up trading routes and Empire Boarders.
The Xeragtok Hive wish to apologise for the destruction of Vrok Expansion's Gun ship class Ship and are willing
to compensate the Vrok Expansion for this loss.
In light of these Requests we must add the following requests due to the current War between
the Xi-Chung and the Xeragtok Hive.

4. Selling arms and /or supporting the Xi-Chung empire in the war with the Xeragtok Hive
5. Non-Removal of all ships in the Srutu system.
6. Attack on any Xeragtok Hive Imperial Ships in the Srutu system

Es ist ein Fruhling ohne Ende

Still no reply

After His fleet was destroyed and the two planets in that system I sent this

The Royal Court of The Xeragtok Hive Directive 1.2

TO General Supreme Sessath of The Vrok Expansion

The Xeragtok Hive wish to determine why the Vrok Expansion acted aggressively against the Xeragtok Hive
The Xeragtok Hive wish to determine why the Vrok Expansion attacked the Xeragtok Hive Imperial Fleets
located at 10,0 Scrutu System without a formal decoration of war.
The Xeragtok Hive wish to determine why the Vrok Expansion deployed mines at the following location 10,0 Scrutu System
The Xeragtok Hive seek payment for the loss of ships and personal at the First Battle of the Srutu System from the
Vrok Expansion

Until these requests are made or solved diplomatically a state of open hostilities will exist between the Xeragtok Hive
and the Vrok Expansion.
During this time all Vrok Expansion property will be destroyed and/or confiscated.

Denn am Xeragok Wesen soll die Welt genesen


So I attacked his system and after destroying another fleet of 80 ships and a few planets I finally received a reply ( P.S. He is playing a subjected constantly in a state of rebellion with different fractions taking over )

"General Sessath of the Glorious Vrok Expansion demands the Head of your Emperor King Xexre. However many in the Vrok Empire grow weary with Sessath's rule and believe that his past dealings with your empire have been unfair.

We are prepared to listen to your account of the vicious attacks on three of our ships near the Surtu System by your Fleet that has brought about this ugly war and massive loss of life. If your account of the attacks is satisfactory we can use this information in an attempt to overthrow General Sessath as leader of the Assembly. A strong ally may be enough to persuade other members of the Assembly to speak up agianst Sessath.

If you chose to continue to on your present course of action...slaughtering the innocent people of our outer colonies. We shall bring justice upon you. That is not the path we wish to take, but we will if you force our hand."


My reply was


The Royal Court of the Xeragtok Hive Directive 1.3
TO General Supreme Sessath of The Vrok Expansion
The Xeragtok Hive deal in political matters only with heads of state

Internal rebellion must be crushed.

It has come to our knowledge that a rebellion is underway in your outer systems

Peasants must be subjugated without remorse.

We will destroy these planets within range of our fleets why we wait for a response to directive 1.1 and 1.2


Ha Ha Ha

Honorable Subjected Race Reply....

Cannotwait to see his reply..

I think he will role play out a rebellion.

[Quikngruvn]

Hee hee! Gotta love good politicalspeak. It sure beats 'Go away before I thwack you'...

Since the sultry obomination race sees fit to continue to embrace expansion into your legitimate backyard, I would suggest that you call upon any alliances that you may have to declare a joint venture into showing these obscure and misinformed malcontents the error of their misbeguided endeavors.

(I would also send in plague bombs in cloaked ships to his core worlds/steal some of planets,
and just give him an old fashion thrashing)

just some ideas mac

[Cyrien]

The plague bomb is such a lovely device... doesn't really seem fitting for an honorable race though.

*goes back to lurking*

[mac5732]

In the higher reaches of ones ultimate goal, to fight an honorable war is to do so with as little or no cost to ones race by following the Code. Sufficient warning has been issued as to the consquences of certain actions that have brought your people to the possibility of extinction or enslavement. Therefore, the honorable thing is to ensure your peoples survival. Honor causes one to issue a warning as to possible consquences. That has been done, thus honor has been satisfied. The plague bomb is a tool to ensure a fast and quick end to the ravages of your people and planets by those with less then honor, ensuring that after their demise, certain planets shall be brought under you influence in the form of colonies with as little damage as possible to propigate the furtherance of your race.

just some ideas mac

ps; Klingons fight with honor and yet look at some of the things they have done. Therefore, Honor means different things to different species. "So TS, Smoke them all" show no mercy

[tesco samoa]

Well were now hammering out a non-intercourse treaty that streaches 50 turns. And as a side note I am making sure I become MA with every race that boarders him. That way I can 'come to their aid' why not breaking any non-intercourse treaties.

[tesco samoa]

And I just ran 6 communication mimics against him.

I did not know that they only do War.

So he is at war with 7 people now.

Lost partnerships trade agreements at 30% ( we increased it) etc... That was a low blow.

Comm Mimic is outta wack.

[mac5732]

Start running some counter intel, I would expect he is going to do something dastardly towards you, watch for cloaked ships in your systems..
