This is NOT good......

Cause? Well there are 4 players with significant production capacity, and everyone else. At this point we are back to the early game base swap era that happened last game where people that lose bases keep on swapping them because they don't have a turn to make a shield. The major powers with shields lie safely behind a "shield in being" and slowly gather strength and occasional eating up more bases from weaker powers.

Either it is time for an alliance of weaker powers agains the major powers, or it is time to say GG.....

We'll see what happens in the next 3 turns. If no break of the major powers, than it really is GG all.....

[Jamski]

The main question will be which of the "big powers" is brave enough to attack the other big powers first. Eating up the "small fry" will allow their main rivals to build in peace. And then of course a "small fry" still makes enough of an ally to be worth courting, at least for a couple more turns untill the production differences kick in.

Or is it a race agreed between the "big powers" to divide up the imperium between them before fighting each other?

Well, building becomes uneconomical when bases costs 32bp, so you'll see a end of building after that point for the most part. The first fireworks did break out after some players reach the 6 base point.

Killing the smaller powers are not a problem at all, with their weak fleets thats unable to resist a major invasion and a general lack of shields due to base swapping.

The real risk for the big powers on attacking is an allied attack by other big powers, or a large collection of small powers.

I don't think most big powers want to keep allies around except for one attack on another big power.

That said, I call for a end to combat between smaller powers. Your chances of victory might be bad with the ****ty bases and fleets you have, but letting the big powers pounce on you while you are busy in mutual combat gives you a 0% chance of ever winning this thing....

It'd be great if the smaller powers can "gang spy" and shut down big power aggression or simply launch a huge attack of some sorts. There is an incentive for cheating, but if mutual help is needed at any point in the game, this is the moment.

[Jamski]

MORON, would you be interested in a joint attack on say... Joncha, then?

[Tassadar500]

I think MORON needs to shut the **** up, and start learning how to play this game. And MORON is just looking for an easy way out anyway. MORON is a target, and doesn't want to die because he is one. Since he's so keen to have mass alliances in GO, I call upon all Eventians to strengthen their relationships with other Eventians in this game, and to renew any Non-Agression Pacts.

Hmmm... of the Eventians in the game, only Kuciwalker has been eliminated. Suspicious? Isit a conspiracy?

Yes, that would explain Jamski's attack on me, my attack on him, Spaced's attack on Jaguar (three times), Geo's attack on Kassi (or was it Skanky?), etc.

[GeoModder]

Let me say then that Skanky, Kassi and Jamski have allied against a fellow Eventian. Coincidence? I think not... it's just the go and flow of this game.

Maybe we're just innately superior at forum games.


There are 12 players left, of whom nine are registered on Eventis.

Kuciwalker isn't, never has been nor will he ever be an Eventian.

[Jaguar]

I suppose that now that Kuciwalker is no longer among us, all nine Events have survived.

[Jaguar]

Oh, and orders sent.
