Last send attack first is a very important rule and is part of every successful strategy. There is no luck in it. Theben took the risk and sent his orders just before my update and he won the prize.

You DrSpike could have ordered your fleet to attack whoever they find there and you might have defeated Theben and scored a double point.

I agree, and I agree no GM mistakes were made. However the player that is online just before an update gets an advantage, it is indisputable, and I don't think this should be the case.

Sparrow only sent half his ships? Then he only deserves half of the bases captured.

[Theben]

Just so I understand what just happened.....DrSpike sent a spy to Theben?

And somehow Sparrow and he managed to attack as an alliance?

And DrSpike/Sparrow matched my OoB perfectly?

/me

[DrSpike]

Looks about right.

[Theben]

I suppose this means someone sold me out, right? 'Cuz there's no way you could've managed this on your own. I guess one of my misspellings did it! Was it you, Thubbins? Or maybe Thizbin!!

[DrSpike]

The forum game king is just good at OOBs. Of course I didn't want to counter you perfectly, that would just look suspicious.

[Theben]

Ah, well, 'twas a grand and glorious game. I thought I was going to be destroyed the turn before, and I got to add another empire to my kill list:

Spaced Cowboy *
Smiley *
Skanky Burns * (1/2 kill)
joncha *
Jamski *

plus I like to add Sparrowhawk the 1st time since he was following my orders when he stayed at home and got clobbered. Pure coincidence, I assure you.

[Theben]

And had I used the OoB I sent against Sparrow to use in case of allied assault, Mr Spike, both of your fleets would be in ruins. Consider yourself fortunate.

[DrSpike]

Fortune favours the skilled.

[Theben]

DrSpike definition of skill= he wins.

DrSpike definition of luck= he loses.

[Theben]

and btw although you outgun Sparrow by over 100 BPs a good OoB will still defeat you so don't count your chickens yet.

24 more hours for the orders please.

I expect a Grand Battle next turn.

[Theben]

If Sparrow's got any shields left he's better off using them up so he can even the tonnage ratios out a little more.

[DrSpike]

Sent.
