The Spoo (Altruist), Pak (Micha), Gaim (Skaffern) & Llort (me) formed the core IA over 10 years before alliances were announced.

That could explain why the Vorlons were left with little choice. Sherlock

Quote:

a little later the Gaim & Llort tried to enlist the Earthlings (as well as the Martians & the Dilgar which ended up in the VA & others) since we figured that the result was already set in concrete unless we were able to reduce the available pool of potential VA (& SA) allies to the point that they could not find 3 strong ones. Unfortunately we were unable to recruit the races we needed & we ended up with only the original core + one obliterated race (Drakh)

Had your offer been even slightly better than nothing, you could have enlisted the Earthlings. As it was, I was not going to become the scorched battlefield between the IA and the VA when the Vorlon had already offered me a fair chance at winning. Whip

Ironically, I became just that. Except that I ended in the winning side. Twisted Evil

I'm sure that you don't really believe that Confused

Don't believe what? That Gaim & Llort were two of the stronger (or even the strongest) IA races? They built a lot of ships, and assembled several strong fleets, a feat only the Spoomum managed elsewhere.

Or perhaps they weren't actually attacking the Earthlings and using BSP tricks to great effect from battle 1? Rolling Eyes

Quote:

The 2 strong IA members (Gaim & Llort) were always behind in technology

Yeah, by as much as 1 or 2 turns behind, for all really important techs (CCs, Jihads, BBs) Shocked

Quote:

& were constantly fighting off the Vorlons in the early period & the Ipsha later on.

Surely you don't mean the Vorlon fleet that got mostly destroyed by Drakh mines, or the one that got decimated shortly after conquering the Drakh HW?

And yes, the Ipsha did commit some ships to the East. A fraction of what they commited elsewhere. Perhaps you should compare the meaning of "constantly" with the Narn and the Pak, who also had the Hyak to worry about. Deal

Quote:

I strongly believe that the Gaim were brilliant & that the Llort alterego delivered his best performance ever in Stars (& that includes 3 wins & a 2nd in his only other 4 games).

Brilliant, and brave too. I only wish I could have presented a better challenge to them... Pirate

So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
