Mac,

One must always have contingency plans and Gryphin and I understand this well. As it transpired, my contingency plan was better than my original one, as Annie has no restrictions on her ability and, more important, willingness to go on a second date.

As for settling down and enjoying the benefits of inner peace, I will take the matter under consideration. While Mrs. Mac does seem a nice enough soul, Mrs. GT ended up buried under the garage, making me question the level of inner peace Tigga was achieving. Let Gryphin and I continue our experiments, if only in the name of science.

Hmmm.... as previously mentioned, Mrs GT is alive and well and has absolutely no problem in rising from the grave - she is still working hard and doing her damnedest to bust our credit limits!

Saxon, good to know you are playing the field and checking out all available talent in Nairobi - with those legs you should persevere

Tigga,

If Mrs. GT is busting the credit limit, why don’t you have a go as well and get an ASDL line into your house and have nice fast internet connections? That way you can send rude Posts to us during the evening and spend more time getting big accounts during the day. Think what it would do for your productivity, you might even be able to convince your boss to pay for it…

Has anyone here used null space weapons much? I am trying to figure out the best strategy for my fleets. I was thinking 50% damage, as that should cripple most ships and then move my firepower on to more dangerous targets. Optimum range will create some distance between me and the enemy, who outguns me, hopefully limiting damage from them, but not hurting me too much, like long range might. I am in a tight squeeze in a PBEM game and if I do not get this right, I am finished. In fact, I would be happy just to cripple this particular fleet and protect my planets, I do not think I can stop it dead.

Saxon, it makes Mrs GT very happy when she has the credit card to play with - it is almost worth the high bills for the sheer peace and quiet I get out of things - if I didn't let her releave her stress this way, she would probably be out with her mother savaging sheep... it is a public service really

What game are you talking about? I assume this is not the Galactic Besh? even Colonel Sanders (ie Gryphin) himself couldn't amass a fleet to give you a whipping that quick!

I like null space weaponry, I also like high energy discharge weaponry, I also likes small fluffy kittens!

Hey, I have been demoted to first lefftenant (phonetic spelling BTW) - is this something you wretched yanks are doing to get back at us english and other foreigners?

Saxon, you youngsters sowing your oats does bring back memories of my younger days,... sigh, aahh those were the days.

Even tho Mrs GT has risen from the garage floor and is currently on a shopping spree with pLastic (thats what he gets for trying to put her under the garage in the lst place) GT still does appear domesticated, except for lapses when it comes to outside cafe's and bouncing sights jiggling by. The only ones I'm not sure of are Tesco and Mephisto in regards to being domesticated, down to earth, stay at home, no partying, no sight seeing or oogling on their off time. hmmmmm, they always say its the quiet ones you have to watch out for. hmmmmm

GT, in regards to everyones demotions, Richard, stated in another thread, that he was tinkering with the system to have some fun with everyone, apparently he must have hit the enter button instead of delete....

Fluffy Kittens huh, hmmmmm, sounds like you've been to Vegas.....

be careful, be very very careful
look to the sky
its "THEM"

Saxon, in regards to Null Weapons. I use them usually later in the game. I like to use them for up close combat. I usually put them on Large Sats and used for wormhole defense. (Mix them with other types not soley null weapons). I also like to have 1 ship type loaded with Null Weapons and usually with at least 1 type of everyturn firing weapon. I use these for close up fighting and they are good on wormhole defense. I always design at lease 1 battle station or starbase with Null weapons. These again I use for wormhole defense. Null weapons, in my opinion, are good close up weapons therefore I like to use them for wormhole defenses and close up combat. In addition, I like to use weapon killing weapons. They only fire every 4 turns, but mixed in with other ships/weapons, they definitly put the hurts on enemy shipping. No weapons, no shooting.

be careful, be very very careful

its "THEM"

Me? tamed and domesticated? never, us Tigga's are vicious and nasty, wild and untamed and elemental as they come

I will have you know that I am a free man/cat in all respects (provided Mrs GT says so, after all, she is the one with the inheritance)

But... when it comes to observing young feminine sights of interest, even Mrs GT can't stop my inertial tottyscope from functioning - I am pinpoint a sight of interest from 200 yards wuth these peepers

Yep, I'm with Tesco, I'm getting the same thing as he is, the first 2 turns I had no problem now I'm getting that data error, says data is not the same as when the game was created...
