Well, Hive did after all fire the first shot. For two turns Hive-CyCon forces were flirting with violence and it seems Hive couldn't manage the pressure...

It's nothing about pressure. I didn't feel any pressure. I didn't even considered that CP as dangerous, being as green as I was. Plus we don't think that CP is rightfully yours anyway.

Besides, those two remarks contradict eachother.

Why is wanting to attack you contradict with wanting you to stop attacking PEACE?

In that situation, I would have, unless another noodle was in the area. But I think there were two tiles free in which I could move a cruiser in the strait near that last PEACE schooner.

You mean you could have bombard it anyways right?

Could Hive ward off 3 cruisers and 4 ground troops then?

No I don't think so. We could afford doing so I think, but we were not that committed to the PEACE.

Because CyCon wanted something as well out of that situation...

As long as 1 tile was free to move into the strait, I could move a cruiser in it. Two could reach it and bombard it.
At the time a whole discussion took place on what targets to choose. The choice was to completely destroy the Hive fleet in the area, destroy the PEACE schooner and some Hive forces (a mix of ships and/or chopper) or solely concentrate on the PEACE warboat. I was in favor of destroying as much as possible, but didn't pull that off in the poll. Too honest in the resulting losses on our side. Most of CyCon couldn't live with the loss of 2-3 cruisers for that mission.

You are such a warhead.

[GeoModder]

Remember, I called myself tactical adequate...

And I was only a warhead for the circumstances. Sofar I'm the most peacelovin' guy around in most of my PBEM's.

I suspect something sneaky from t_ras in the near future for instance, one of his probes is missing...

[Snowflake]

Oh my.

/me orders production of probes, lower pact status to treaty.

Do you fully realize the effect of that last statement of yours Geo?

[GeoModder]

It is mainly a worry for me. I'm easier to probe in case he wants to do so. I have no objective evidence, just a nugget of suspicion.

Besides, I don't really know the diplomatic status of LongRoad, not much communication sofar with the other players, despite that everybody is pacted to eachother. I'm simply making the best of it, hadn't expected University to be that low in the graphs.

[Snowflake]

Macro was new, never played a pbem before. That was why we went the peaceful development rout. He could have been taken out long time ago.

However, now with you as the university, things certainly changed. And look who is the first one who brought in the military perspective. The effect of that last statment of yours is not about t-ras, dear Geo. It is about the mindset of a strong warhead.

[GeoModder]

It is the mindset of someone who seas the strongest player around plonging bases closer and closer and closer to his territory, and the other ones not very keen on trading or talking.
The federation is literally in the middle of it all. I'll just continue peacefull development since it's the only thing I can do atm. Not looking for reasons to show the less nice side of the Gaians, don't you Lady HongHu?

The 'things certainly changed' sounds not so peacefull as well...

Anyway, wanna trade to ensure a long and everlasting glorious future?

[Snowflake]

The federation has a large backyard, unlike the Gaians, who needs to use whatever ground she can find, great dune or not.

And the Gaians doesn't have a less nice side.

Plus I almost preaccepted a tech trade to you, and didn't even consider the posibility of somebody snatchs a tech and runs.

[Snowflake]

And don't assume I don't know what's in your mind. You get a crucial tech while giving her a not so crucial tech and increasing her tech cost.

Can't run, can't hide, you got plenty of sea to expand in and the MCC in your pocket at request since that is part of the pré-accepted tech deal. I already own you my first offensive unit, an an important technology roleplaywise for the Gaians, and plenty of goodwill for the gift the Federation received at the change of presidents. Ask Rubin if you need to be convinced, I always make up for the things I own people.

And don't you try pulling a 'CyCon members snatches tech' routine on me. Wasn't involved in CyCon at that time.

A bit premature posted, I suppose...

Alright. I said I didn't consider it after all.

The Gaian research rate is plenty enough to carry the 'burden' of what you claim to consider a not so crucial tech for this PBEM. What is the water/land ratio again?

All the limiting techs are close to being in the pocket, thus the Gaians are on the track to whatever victory you see fit.

But hey, the Federation wishes the best for the Gaians, they have showed themselfes trustworthy and wasn't coop victory allowed?

You're a woman, those hints speak louder then words...

[Snowflake]

Hmmm that's a good suggestion. Now will you teach me a little about how to play good in water?

I only thought about it today ok? After somebody mentioned something about a probe.

Don't pretend you know woman so much. Who told you I am a woman?
