Well, with the evil Nexus declaring war, you would think I would retire a la Ygrini et Weaderuliumer.
Of course, if you knew me, you would know I wouldn't do anything quite so predictable.
Yes, I am not going to win in a toe to toe struggle with the Nexus, but I can at least cause some damage.
If one Nexus ship is damaged, that's a victory. You see, I don't care if I win. What I care about is giving everyone else the best chance to get 1st,2nd and 3rd against the Nexus, and make sure this arrogant so and so is out of the game.
So, if any of you species wants intelligence on the Nexus, any technology I can offer, minerals etc, please feel free to ask. The one caveat is that you will have to declare your intent to go to war with the Nexus. For most of you, that is hardly a great problem.

We find Hirotan message to be pretty pathetic. More or less same pathetic as their warfleets.
|
So why do you think we are planning to attack? Honestly, your arguement is hypocritical. You say the "evil" Hirota plan to attack and then you say we don't have the firepower? That not only makes you sound hypocritical, it gives the impression you expect other players to be so stupid to accept your pack of lies.

It ain't just me sunshine. Any species with sense will try and take you down if they have any desire to win. Of course, I am in the unique position of not caring if I win.
Quote: | To any race which join us in the fight against this evil species, we offer to share any Hirotan planets you are able to conquer and in addition some planets you find valuable for you which will be conquered by us.
|
How about this for a counter offer then? We will withdraw all but a token colony from any worlds desired by any species which signals it's intent to go to war in concert with other species against the Nexus.
Yes, thats right folks The Hirota will actually help you invade Hirotan colonies if you agree to declare war on the Nexus.
Quote: | We hate to promise something we have not got yet, but with that weak resistance we encountered we are very positive Hirota's days are numbered.
|
Hang on, this is the same species that is so threatening? Yeah, your arguement is full of consistency
like I've said, if I win or not isn't important (in fact, I am having trouble making time for all the games I am in), but giving everyone else a chance of forcing you to lose is important. I'm not looking at this game for personal victory for the Hirota - I'm looking at it now as defeat for the Nexus.
Quote: | out of character:
James, I am very glad you have not quitted like 2 others before. It keeps our game interesting!
Regards,
Feliks.

Yeah well, don't ever accuse me of rolling over and dying. Us Hirota are made of Sterner stuff.

I think it is obvious that decision to attack is made before the battle. As IS we have no power to see other designs before the battle. It is also obvious why we call your fleet pathetic after smashing it without a scratch, not what we in fact expected. It is clear for everyone and we know others are not stupid to understand it.
As mentioned in-game message, we expected you to attack us, as you started to sweep our minefields in open space and keep on concentrating FFs and CCs lately on the border planets.

Out of character: I cannot beat the feeling you take/began to take this game too personally. Pity. It supposed to be fun after all. I hope it is a fight only between Nexus and Hirota, not between me and you.
Check out my new program S!RP (test version)!

Hirota I cannot see any use to this alliance, I will rather be breaking that then messing with another race I've only ever been on good terms with!
You will be set to enemy in 2469!

I din't ask you to do anything, but if you are so offended by things then go ahead. Just remember who invaded who, who invaded the Hirota, and you said you wouldn't be ready for a war for 20 years.
Oh gosh, I shouldn't have said that should I?
I'm dropping out.

Eh? When did I "gloat"?

Um... James if you're going to quit you should do the courteous thing and find a replacement.
We've already had two drop outs and a third means that almost half the players have left and not considered the rest of us.
Anyhow, why would you quit ?
You had an ally whom you obviously didn't communicate with enough and you now have the Luap's supporting your cause.
It seems to me that the level of support in our galaxy for your race is (or rather was) very good.
I've already sent an email to Sally so hopefully a substitute player can be found.
Regards - Steve
