And my ass is very flaccid. It's not like kicking my ass would be hurting me

Wow. Has the game ever been so balanced?

Well, at the start of the game it was 0-0-0.

[civman2000]

Come on, let's have some action, folks!

(not that I intend to provide any of the action...)

[Jaguar]

Oh, and by the way, what's the deal with people sending "use the same OOB as my ally" orders? It ruins the chances for backstabbery.

[Spiffor]

I've sent the BionicGalacticDove7DD to Jamski. It contains my orders.

I said last turn that this will no longer be accepted. I restate it. Had the ally of Herc attacked, they would have done so without Herc. Please people, send an OoB. The whole discussion of OoB with an ally is the strength and the weakness of the allied attack/defence. Just how much DO you trust them? Remember 2nd place is nothing.

You mean, if Ljube the mysterious ally of Herc had attacked, his attack wouldn't have been strengthened by Herc's troops?

And if somebody had attacked Herc on that turn, Herc's troops would have been away nonetheless?

[Jamski]

I think that would be a fair interpretion of the rules.

[Spiffor]

I just had an even more evil idea.

IIRC, if two allies send you a different OoB, they're considered as different (rival) attackers. When an attacker doesn't provide you with an OoB at all, you should roll a random OoB and attack with it. If this random OoB doesn't exactly correspond to his allies', then he becomes his allies' rival

Sufficiently evil. I like it.

Do they fight before or after engaging the defending fleet?

[Ljube]

I can't stay online for the whole day trying to negotiate allied attacks. Your change to the rules is preventing me from attacking in an alliance ever again. Also, I seem to remember that you yourself once gave control over your fleet to Skanky Burns. This should always be accepted since not all people are able to send their orders in the strict timeframe you have imposed on us.

[Jaguar]

His timeframe was not at all strict. Two days is plenty of time. You're not the only one who has to coordinate with allies. And the allies I've coordinated with are in drastically different time zones as well.
