Creche 2 has ended prematurely due to a egregious rules infraction by one of the players.  Therefore, I hope others agree with me declaring the Mightyboosh as winners. Congrats Dave/Vostromo! I would also like to thank our host, Iojho, who has undoubtedly dealt with a lot of drama in this one. I look forward to playing with all of you again.
As for me, I enjoyed the game thoroughly. I have only played HP JOATs until this, so I was dumbfounded by the speed at which -f IT can expand. It was relatively simple to hem in and then to popdrop a neighbor into oblivion, as I did with the Birds. However, -f is non-stop balls to the wall. Instead of continuing to build fleets and to expand, I chose to terraform some planets and research W16 first. With a 19% growth rate, my planets filled up faster than expected, and my total growth fell off a cliff. I was surprised by the Myth's attack around 2440, but it was a good kick in the behind. I started building warships once again, while taking only acceptable losses. The main issue was wasting valuable resources crashing Myth's minefields. My hab range also didn't mesh well with theirs. Therefore, I hoped to contain the Myth while attacking the Mags, who had several large green planets within range, around 2450. Unfortunately, Patrick's absence from the game led to a one-sided confrontation. On the last generated turn, I was fourth in score. I would appreciate any comments or criticism on my play.

) This coupled with an aggressive diplomatic style by the Ciscoid was to dominate most of my early game. You would think with different hab ranges and both being IT we could have worked some deal that would have been very beneficial with respect to an alliance but whether by choice or not the Ciscoid tried to impose a border which was clearly unworkable. Thinly veiled threats from his direction made him seem more of a target than a partner. When i was sure i had won over the Magratheans and the Morgarten i pop dropped a colony and instigated the 3M alliance to remove him. 
as Iojho will confirm it took me 3 attempts to get a workable race design!!
