Now now, being over it doesn't mean I'm not entitled to a good bit of traditional Finnish schadenfreude.

It is GeneralTacticus' military presence that "swayed" those bases to his side. Mostly by killing anyone who didn't like his authority - the bastard. So if he choses to donate half the spoils to you, fine. If he doesn't, well, fine too. Its up to him.

No, no Skanky! You keep changing the rules. If they were allied in this attack they should get a fair share of the bases regardless of the forces each of them committed to the common cause.

[Skanky Burns]

Feel free to link to a rule that says allied attacks split bases regardless of spying actions. Otherwise don't complain.

well of course i saw the FG in the title, and had to open it to thank and congratulate the thread poster. Rewarding good behavior is an INVESTMENT in improving the forum.

WEEEEEAAAK!

Plus the fact that you've now almost more posts in here than DrSpike and Skanky combined. Come over to the dark side LotM, we need more fresh meat!

Sorry. I meant no disrespect. Who am I to complain against the rulings of our glorious GM?

However, I'd like to see the rules of this game fixed, particularly in terms of small details like this. Will you accept my application for this job? I can commit to it after Wednesday 28 July

[GeoModder]

Must I try to hold out till then, Ljube?

Well I guess this is the first time this specific situation has arisen, but the spirit of the rules is clearly for the allied attack to lead to base sharing, even if one person (not by his own fault) cannot join the attack.

[Kuciwalker]

The rule doesn't say anything about spying options. Thus, I think the bases get shared. Of course this could be addressed in future rules, but since they also have to go with the same oob even with half the ships missing, the other stuff should stay the same too.

[joncha]

I support the ruling on the field.

[GeneralTacticus]

I'd support a rule saying that whoever actually did the capturing would get the base. As it is, that would be me... and I'll generously let Spike have 4 bases.

Incidentally, how many bloodless conquests does that make? 3?

EDIT: Conducted by me and bloodless for me, of course.

[Skanky Burns]

Updated the turn-report to reflect the new base allocations.

[Ljube]

Will the alliance attack and destroy Geomodder now? Or will this be the end of the alliance as we know it? Or will DrSpike switch sides and join Geo to off GT?

Stay tuned.

[joncha]

Don't go giving that evil Spikey any ideas.

[Skanky Burns]

Nothing Spikie isn't considering already.
