    Well I've said my piece. Beta knows, Swazz knows. If he is more than a big talking blowhard I'll be getting some co-ords posted here or in game. If not, which I expect, things will go on the way they have.

    So Swazz, oh mighty spy, you planning to keep up with your big talk, and your laughable combat posts? Or are you going to sit back, safe in the protection of your competent alliance mates? You know where to find me

    Typical, the G.O.s locked that thread, when they would leave all the other opened. le sigh.

    I left Holowugz a limerick in the poetry thread though:
    A Game Operator passing by:
    He saw his friend Swazz, and said 'hi!'
    But Swazz was the troll
    all his 'friends' he'd /rickroll
    To all others the G.O. would lock and say 'bye'



    Holowugz: re:'Troll'.
    You keep using that word.
    I do not think it means what you think it means.

    Swazz, fight us. Go on, do it.

    Fight us.

    You know you want to.

    If you don't we'll say mean things about you in the playground.

    Ugh, the score linker will not work for me. I have disabled everything, uninstalled/reinstalled the script and greasemonkey, and I am running FF3. Any ideas?
    The funny thing is it also did not work on my work computer, but then it suddenly decided to work today. This computer is still without it though. :(

    Well I am about to finish all my governor mansion upgrades and am looking for a 3rd marble city. There is a spot on 43:13, any other good places? I want to get in on some military fun as i doubt i will ever expand again without becoming a pirate king.

    I'm looking to found my third colony (on a marble island) in the next few days, should I do it in my home island group or at a spot right in the centre of the map? 50:50 is 8 hours away from my current cities.

    Any one have sulfur on zeta? I'm getting absolutely nothing by hitting people in the low single digits, which means that I can't build up an army to actually hit people who have stuff to pillage

    Next colony is a long way away for me :/

    Man, Someone sent a retribution strike against me for farming them when they had 0 military. I don't even have enough sulfur to rebuild my swordsmen, much less any more advanced military units. I think I may have to make my 3rd colony a sulfur one. Might as well move it closer to everyone else, where are we again?

    I'm around 4x:6x with wine and marble colonies on Zeta; 3rd will be sulfur so I can finally start some pillaging. No one is ever selling anything around here; can buy maybe 300 sulfur/day, and crystal is at 99 per. Building materials coming in very slowly so it'll be awhile before I've got that sulfur.

    Whereabouts are the Zeta folk so I know which general direction to expand in?

    I think our efforts at poking swazz have started to bear fruit!

    RTRMF-Destroyer (also part of kahn) has sent a massive blockade force of ONE ship against my town in the middle of the world. I'm assuming it's just to check my mil strength before a larger strike...

    It's coming from Sunlight City (34:75)

    I used the combat report workaround to get a detailed combat report even if you send only one guy a while back and it worked. Recent attempts have failed, however. Can anyone else still use the workaround?

    I'm working out where Spazz is based, so I can decide how to attack him. So far he looks to be about 22-24 hours away at closest. I wonder if he would co-operate for a big glorious battle? Will you Spazz?

    This seems to be Spazz's data. It is probably old.

    I've worked out his details now, thanks though.
    It is going to be an interesting battle with him, assuming I can ever land any punches. He is slightly, but not too far, below my military score, so it should be a fairish fight. Will be kind of cool to see several hundred steamgiants do battle

    I wouldn't take any chances though, make absolutely sure you crush him.

    Well, I'm 9 hours from most of my cities from Swazz, but only 3 hours from PAX Center. I'm pumping out large quantities of units there, and I think I'll deploy a ton of troops as well.

    So, if you guys want to have a party, I'll bring some favours.

    It's about a 24 hour blockade to him from me, so will take some coordination, but I'm down whenever. Just need a days warning cause my forces are usually on the move somewhere.

    Well I don't mind doing this one on one, but if we want an alliance war I guess that works too. He has been thick on the threats off late.

    I've had quite a bit of feedback from other alliances (quite a weird mix of them) and individuals. A lot of people seem to have a grudge against him, which isn't surprising. A couple in his current alliance too of all places. Who would have thought people don't like jerks?

    RIght, I have four cities nailed down of Swazxz. Based on his score and boasting I think he must have a 5th, but haven't found it yet. The interesting bit is that he is surrounded by ex alliances of his - HEROS etc - which could be useful.

    Hmm.... someone should make a new thread soon.

    And a "Pillager" dropped an application the other day, saying hilarity would ensue when swazz sees our tag on his cities. Anyone know anything about this?

    Edit: Someone = me; let Kalkino and I have a few posts on the first page before anyone else chimes in, please. Kalkino, let's get a warmonger post as the second or third in the new thread once it is up in just a minute.

    Kalkino has his placeholder up, so please everyone move over to the new thread. If anyone would prefer a different title for it, let me know. I'm not overly attached, but it did seem reasonable.

    Ah yes, the much misunderstood SELF-Warning...done for personal amusement, after MANY complaints that Mods were above the law...and after repeatedly daring some to warn me, I did it myself. Mystery solved. (Not that you particularly care, since I didn't phrase it in iambic pentameter.)

    Sorry Curious, you seem cool but you haven't met Cardboard Tube.

    Though I feel dirty saying it the guy is the fairest, most unflinching mod I've ever seen. Knows exactly what he's doing. I sometimes think he deserves pay.

    e: And I've modded a couple of places. I know what it's like.

    Heh...no worries, guys.

    I know the rules seem a bit (*screams* A LOT) confusing and all that...imagine what it's like to be us, all hampered by German law and whatnot...Put yourselves in our mocassins and understand we share your frustration half the time (especially if we play, which most of us do)...

    I thought I'd just let you know I admire all things Kitty Poetry...I could have done without the mockery though. Pity. (And I thought the Cardboard Tube was a sexual reference...) o.O
