    I've started the inital thread, and did 2 posts. This will probably be the first thing I'll drop when I start running out of motivation and time.

      The real problem is I found people have a habit of using what I say without really thinking about it themselves. I mentioned I got a turn advantage by planting my first bases on a nut, but I didn't go into why and later found one of the other players in the PBEM had used that tactic to a detriment since I hadn't gone into the reasons why. So general I avoid giving mass advice, unless it's game mechanics. Situation specific advice is what I perfer to give as I can be sure most of the variables are taken into account.

      That being said perhaps I'll just add disclaimers to all strategy articles I write.
      You know, that just gave me an idea. Hows about we put some strategy articles into MorganLink, but make them really really bad. We could even pull out some numbers to support our poor tactics. The idea is that the other teams will either a) Think we're really stupid to use such bad tactics or b) Start to use really bad ideas that we give them. Either way, we're onto a winner.

      I can't think of any good topics though, otherwise I'd write one soon....

        I wouldn't trust anything important the other factions have to say at face value, and just ignore it. Some of our fellow Morganites been here for quite a while, and the people on the other teams know how good they are from experience.

        If it was part of a disinformation campaign, that would be something else.

          Or, we could be honest about some of our strategies, and everyone else would assume it was misinformation.

            We could go half and half perhaps. I like the idea of a disinformation campaign though.
