I didn't want to spam with dozens of useless .xls homemade maps, and only give ruku the essential insight into how to determine his system. But I've got some that are color-coordinated for all the main-feeder sets, and some color-coordinated based on fleet strength and with arrows for feeders -> mains. The real fun is when there's a war, and red enemy islands start getting punched into my maps Just the steady conversion as they go from "red" islands to "green" islands...

Perhaps Hafbaked was referring to "grass" hockey. I was confused too when AeroS asked about plain 'hockey'. If you are saying hockey in most of Erope it actually means "on grass" with a slightly different kind of wooden stick (heavier to be precise). To indicate hocky on ice you'll have to say 'icehockey'.
Oh and for (grass) hockey, The Netherlands is rather big.

For reference of ruku and Sol... What you'll find her is what once started as a "novelty fleet". It was designed to move an entire coloship in a single shot some months ago. For those islands that are "outposts", it is easier to send a single transport once the feeder hits 35k, rather than diverting a half-dozen feeder shipment out to it, or waiting a week for it to gain the resources for a coloship. Last night, an isle went rulerless. My nearest coloship was 4 hours away (an eternity in my relatively tight geography). Knowing that I'd be competing for it, I used the 175 sms fleet for a secondary purpose... The isle was inactive for a good while, so it had 38k gold. J-Ro failed a coloship before my fleet got there. But this fleet returned with a good take (making the losses easily bearable), and with what I already had on the island, was able to fire off a coloship worth of gold to a "stand alone main" to start the coloship this morning. Incidentally, my coloship failed, and J-Ro succeeded (with my subsequent attempts I had already launched at 50-minute intervals failing/bouncing) - making this raid particularly lucrative (I was not merely stealing my own "start up fund" for the isle). I have two such fleets - only of 175 and one of 197 (I forgot to stop building sms ). A novelty, yes. But one that has some serious advantages. This isle has also been known to send 35k gold to alliance mates on at least a dozen occasions - I had a weekly "free coloship giveaway" contest on at least a weekly basis over at DIGG; sometimes twice a week when I found lucrative raids such as this one.

I'm pretty irate tonight.
Ask Marc. I ranted to him pretty good.
That IK post is definitely made in the heat of the moment over the struggles of trying to maintain a competitive account without resorting to merging/"tools" of varying legitimacy/multi activities.
I'm still pissed about it.
I won't do anything rash. But I do need to blow off some steam and come back to things with a clear head in the morning.

I know this is going to inflate this guy's ego, but doesnt Luxor perhaps contemplate on giving GI Clause Admiral postion. I'd go as far as High admiral!!! (my vote)
(speaking of "High" postistions, these should be given to those that speak for the whole quartet, and should therefore be validated by all members - or by existing admins+admiral+diplomats- within the quang)

Yet again, I agree with inyati. I think Clause has provided A LOT of useful information not only regarding other alliances, but has given feedback to improve policy, etc. He isn't the normal Luxor member, so, he should be justly rewarded for his efforts.
