Now here's an interesting bit. This is from DeepO's chat with Vondrack (currently ongoing).

[00:27] {vondrack> maybe - but I think you best know what their GNPs are like
[00:27] {DeepO> well... we do...
[00:27] {vondrack> it's you, then a gap, then us, than a BIG gap, then the rest of the world

Assuming that not much has changed since Nathan's last investigation, Vondrack is defining 51 commerce (the gap between Lego and whoever is #3 in GNP) as a 'BIG gap', and the gap between GS and Lego (which is really 57 commerce, but Lego has no idea) as just a 'gap'.
This means that they think that our GNP is smaller than it really is. That's good to know.

[DeepO]

Noticed that too.. he was kind of feeling us out. I can only assume they did the same kind of analysis, where they put everything on sea tiles, and see if they could reach us in commerce.

Difference is, that they have libraries, and possibly marketplaces... but this will change soon. We should remain first for a while.

Also, they probably don't think we have as many units as we do. So when we gave them the idea we were at roughly 60gpt after upkeep, they probably didn't think we had around 100 units to support.

Let's do everything possible to keep this under our hats.

Now here's an interesting bit.
This is part of a post by Trip in the private ISDG forum. The context is not important.

nobody was anxious to pick a fight with GS after they demolished Vox the way they did

GoW's grievances against Roleplay are very numerous, quite possibly more than ND's. We have a Thread of Grudges you know, and this war should redeem many of the "Grudge Posts" in that thread.

GF just loves to spit out intelligence data from time to time.
This is an interesting inside look into GoW psychology. So they like to avenge their grudges? Cool, this might come in handy at some point. Let's just keep this in mind (and assume that they made a "grudge post" against our little city-flipping machination).

Edited out completely.

The Glory of War
Actively involved in every war in the game
Lux war = 0 kills
Vox war = 0 kills
RP war = 0 kills so far

Assuming they only mean those 2 horses in regards to us, but...

Theseus: should you really be posting that ISDG stuff? Members from three other teams have access to this forum.

[notyoueither]

Damn. I did not notice that, FP. I should have. Damn.

Well, it is edited now. We can hope that no rule has been violated.

I am sorry, Theseus. However, we have to keep in mind that some people have access to this forum who do not have contact with Poly in the ISDG. Communication about situations prior to contact is verbotten. I hope you understand.

Bring back the post, but put it in a quote box with a warning and change the color so that you'd have to highlight the text to read it. SR and Octavian won't look, I'm sure.

[Theseus]

I got rid of it. Sorry.

The [ spoiler ] [ /spoiler ] tags do that automatically. They are wonderful things.

Changing the colour manually won't disguise it on all forum styles.

Spoiler:

Awesome!

Currently being discussed in the ISDG forum at MZO:

"When a Galley is fortified at the end of its turn it can see 3 tiles instead of 2. We can activate a unit on the Galley and the "Fortify All" option is enabled, even after moving a full 3 tiles."

I was not aware of this. It is clearly an exploit in SP, but I am open to it for MP.
