New colony
I have an attack en route to your new colony, it is still a day or two out but has no catatpults on board. If you simply build up the Mainhouse to Level 2 I will not be able to colonise your isle, it would also be appreciated if you do not reinforce your isle. If you do it will be merely lost to no avail.

Someone reached an isle first and being the kindly fellow that I am I warned them about reinforcing the isle as I had not sent the base fleet size. In later messages I warned that I was attacking with enough to make defence by stoners ineffeficient but that the player had nothing to worry about anyway.

Now if they do not have any trust they must just say so, rather than politely message back and then still reinforcing the darn isle. Luckily my fleet was 'large' enough to protect my coloship.

I've always thought that if someone has the good grace to warn you of a non-hostile impending attack you should do your best to 'accomodate' them, even if just to save yourself the cost of defence otherwise not needed.

Added; the thread title refers to the text on his personal data, in my opinion he at least proved the latter part of it true.

I tend to spy people in such situations, even if they say they haven't put anything on the isle. What is the point of lying in that situation?

[Arminius]

As he's in DIGG, should we mention it to them? People in pacted alliances should be polite and trusting, but morons like that guy somewhat erode that trust.

Just out of curiousity: How many spearfighters are those remaining 40 LWS of yours returning with ?

A fake!!!!

There was 1 guy water skiing behind the boat during rolecall of coarse. Happens all the time.

A similar thing happened today on the uk server where an extra soldier survived. Thing was, only 1 man survived and no ships at all.

Not often you see that. Almost 100% even sides.

These seem a bit silly, if an extra soldier survives, it doesn't come home, so technically it's dead anyway.

More shoddy coding from Sven, I'm quite please with myself as my message system adds "Re:" to replies but only once, so you don't get "RE: RE: RE: RE:" ad nauseum, coder envy.



Nobody mention the fact that my game is bug ridden, badly presented and only has 40 players or so compared to IKs tens of thousands!
