Oh yes, you got that right

Round 9: What goes around…

In a perfect display of karma following his seizure of Skanky’s territories, it was Geomodder’s turn to be assailed by superior force, as Overlord joncha, attempting to whittle down his potential opponents, sent his fleet against Geomodder’s expanding territories.

Geomodder is destroyed and all his bases are captured.

In an unerringly accurate repeat of history, both fleets chose the same OOB for the first three rounds, with Geomodder’s fleet sustaining significant damage, followed by a crushing last three rounds in which Joncha completely outwitted Geomodder’s captains and crushed his fleet without taking a single hit. However, Geo would live on, saved by the efforts of 10 of his Titans acting under Spaced Cowboy against the empire of Whoha…

Whoha is eliminated and all his bases are captured.

Outnumbered by over three to one, Spaced’s captains pressed on, secure in their superiority of firepower and durability. They demonstrated these advantages quite graphically in the battle that came, taking a fairly straightforward fight with no brilliant manoeuvres on either side and turning it into a one-sided massacre of Whoha’s ships.

Thus, the galaxy was now effectively divided between the two superpowers of Joncha’s vast empire, which nearly dwarfed that of the fallen Empire itself, and the alliance of Spaced Cowboy and the remnants of House Geomodder. Meanwhile, Smiley remained on the sidelines, with all sides knowing his help would be crucial to a final victory…

Carnage.

[Jamski]

Just using a freaking library computer to pop by and check up on the status of the game. Looks like its going to be one hell of an end-game. Put my name down for GO4 already, I feel a certain amount of revenge will be required from certain posters

-Jam

[DrSpike]

But I already got you.

[GeneralTacticus]

I think we might want to remove the thing about having 2 groups of three weapons, with 1 of each in each group - the first three rounds basically decide the combat, and as it stands it's a bit too easy to just overwhelm the enemy in those rounds and then finish them off in the last three rounds.

[GeoModder]

Mmm, I still have 10 titans around... does this mean that those are now Spaced's possession or am I an mernenary now?

Also, if the bases acquired in the Alliance's last attack are split, doesn't this mean I'm still in the game and haven't lost anything that I might have stockpiled?

[GeneralTacticus]

You gave them to Spaced, so they're now his. You're gone; if you want to rationalise it, since you wouldn't have been with the 10 ships you handed over to him, you'd now be in Joncha's hands or dead.

[GeoModder]

See edited post...

[Spaced Cowboy]

I agree, he should have his ships back and half the bases of the conquest.

[GeneralTacticus]

Oh yeah, you did say that all conquests should be split, didn't you? I completely forgot about that. Post edit proceeding...

EDIT: Corrections complete. Geo lives, but he'll need some time to recover. Being a member of the Alliance seems to be highly unhealthy...

[DrSpike]

Yeah, successful alliance building takes skill, don't you agree GM?

[:) Smiley]

Shoot, this game is ending faster than I'd thought.

[GeneralTacticus]

Yeah, it surprised me, too - it's probably just that people are attacking much more, combined with a combat system that makes eliminating people much easier. This whittles down the number of palyers very quickly...

[joncha]

Excellent. Orders sent.
