FG: Galactic Overlord II Game Thread Part II

[GeoModder]

Just a warning. Tomorrow (thursday) I probably won't be able to sent orders. So some patience 'till friday for round 18 please (present orders are already in, and if I live to see round 18 at least).

The alliance is solid.

[GeoModder]

... he thinks...

Round 18

The alliance built up and kept GeoModder from leaving his home system by using a spy. GeoModder, on the other hand kept anyone from reaching his home system by using a shield. Say it with me:
*splat*

The tension is increasing dramatically.

Orders sent.

[DrSpike]

Sent.

[Kassiopeia]

Geo is vastly outnumbered. He can't sit behind his shield forever either. Only a miracle of diplomacy (the alliance members are pretty equal as far as bases and units go) or a lucky combination of tactics can save him. [/stating the obvious]

[duke o' york]

Well the alliance can afford to damage a couple of ships each turn to use up all of the shields that Geo may have built.

[Skanky Burns]

The alliance has two very sharp minds on the case.

[Kassiopeia]

Wouldn't it be neat if this turned into a 50-round stalemate that ended in a blaze of glory as finally the three fleets numbering in the hundreds would clash and light up the skies of nearby planets? No?

[Skanky Burns]

Nah.

[Ljube]

If I were in the shoes of either of the two members of the alliance, I would attack my ally the minute he sends his fleet to attack Geo

[joncha]

...and he wonders why noone will ally with him.

[Chaunk]

... and he also wonders why he's died twice this game. Ljube, you've got a great winning mind, but trust sure does mean a lot in games like this.

Btw, I would have turned over all my bases to Geo had I realised we could transfer bases at will. I knew I was going to be attacked, that I would lose, and also that I had no shield I'm not sure we should be able to give them at will frankly. There should be a cost to exchange at least.
