I don't get these spy reports. Blazed reports 1660 ST / 4 SF / no fleet and Shiuldt reports 673 ST / 4 SF / no fleet. I take it the report of Shiuldt was older than that one of Blazed ? But never mind, we now know the score and I think (although I'm definitely NOT happy) that this battle had a sour taste for both Tyrant and myself. Let's go and see: Okay, the good thing here is that I haven't lost that much. Still, had I not switched the 657 spears for the odd 415 stoners by accident I would have lost even less. Downside: they didn't clear anything, just took some resources away. Always useful but still a disappointment. Positive: arrived seconds before colofleet attack, took some wall away, "only" 25% losses to the level 20 wall. Negative: 25% lost cats and wall still level 14. And where the hell are all these stoners that were supposedly on this island ?! ? Did he use this island as a waypooint or gatheringplace for all his islands's stoners before redistributing them ? Was he shuttling stoners in and out all weekend ? Is he a mutant ? The Josh mutant ? Beware, emits polonium 210... Positive: his fleet of 170 L\W and 834 spears is gone, main house down, he did not expect this size of the colofleet otherwise I don't think he would have moved in this fleet. Negative: it's typically M.A.D., mutual assured destruction. He can't do much with the island now, I can't do much anymore, offensivewise. I lost 70% (and 21 rare cats) !!!!!!!!!!!!! You know, now that this thing is slowly sinking in I'm beginning to see some masochistic fun in it: we practically destroyed eachothers fleet, but neither of us expected that and I think Tyrant least of all. Analyse this: these three attacks arrived sunday at 16:21 / 16:23 / 16:23. That means that between attack no.2 and 3 is less than a minute, less than 60 seconbds, perhaps no more than 125 seconds, who knows. And yet we find that fleet there, that is not just coincidence, bad luck or good fortune, no I say Tyrant saw that fleet coming in at 2 knots and just didn't consider that I would go for combining the largest fleet and the colonyboats and the cats in one attack. And that's what's undone his fleet now, and the island spears. And that must have been an unwelcome and very sour surprise. Apart from the fact that I'm sour because clearly those promised attacks by SoH amount to nothing AT ALL!!! Robert (Shendemiar) said that I should not use my fleet and cats for clearing the isles, but tell me, WHO ould have done it then, who would have got the power ? I see only a few and those were either elsewhere occupied or sofar not willing to commit their fleet. I knew that in advance ofcourse but one likes to be surprised in a positive way. Okay, I'm going to eat and drink now. Bloodwine I think...raaargh

Well at least 002 is now basically destroyed, get back and colonise it I say! The amount of army shifting is quite amazing really - The spyreport I posted was pretty much as soon as I got it

Before Tyrant found out my entire mainfleet was escorting the colonyships (yes, damnation, I lost one of the two, I'm going to be spiteful for an excessively long time now), he sent me this message:
4 hours later his fleet died at the hands of the 2 knots colonyfleet. I am contemplating what to write back. I guess he's too young to understand Jetman's "'Hey Loony, who's a pretty boy now, awk awk ?"
(picture the leader of the "Parrotman with one woodenleg taunting a tied up and roasting Jetman)

Wall has increased by one.

I thought it was decreased by 1 actually... ?
What is worrying is that he has very nearby islands, in particular his main. Still, I'm going to gamble and try a second sweep+colonization attempt.

Okay, launched new attempt:
Attack on ----|002|Tyrant (2:79:16) Distance 23,9 nautical miles Speed 2 knots Arrival 11 hours Ships Large Warships 70 Small Warships 20 Small Merchant Ships 20 Colonization Ships 1 Army Spearfighters 390 Catapults 4 => target main house (yeah I know it's already down, just want to be sure there're no surprises)
Sweeping attack to take down wall (better no wall if the attempt fails than an existing wall for future purposes) later today.
I don't like the idea of a colony there and half expect him to cat the place if I succeed, but it looks bad if we can't take his isles swiftly enough so here we go again...

Success ! Ha ! I'm elated. ;D Right, what Scemo! sends in the demolishing crew after I just colonized that pigsbarn ? Did I not put that yesterday on this page that there was a coloboat ? Aaarg, what is it now ? and my reply: That stuff about The One is ofcourse utter crap, but since we have this mystery guest with that name and, as it so happens, is a wonderful link to Valen aka Cmndr. Sinclair of Babylon 5, with "so say we all" thrown in for maximum upsetting value, not to mention the Terminator's "targeted for termination" we shall file this as micro psy warring techniques. He's now to look for The One as the source of all evil. Hootie - hoot hoot ! In the meantime: and back to psy war again: and onward brave Morkin loonies ;D Aaah, now I see. Aja and Mads are teasing me by sending rabid merchants. HaHaha! (I think...). Then 2 spy ships from DIGG members and then one presumed demolisher from über Orc. Hey, hairy green not washing slimebone Suca minchia!, hold your wargs. I have it under control, in fact I have it under water, you know, Altankis, wossname, yeag Atlantis, that's it. "It's 4 O'clock and ALL is well..." Ah, he likes me again, flattery should be branded "O de Lancome" and then marketed by the Dutch you know: and <cough cough> my earth shattering eloquence hailing from a 7th personal hell, but perfumed with Dunhill Edition: A new and infamous reappearance of The Count...I mean..The One whom we all know as the venesectioned Natmus. Isn't that so, Mads, you associating with Minbari all the time. They even speak Danish you know, those Minbami. Their capital city is, nomen est omen, called Minbårsk You know, I really ought to cut down on Caçhaca. It's not cheap, irresitably tasty, okay..intoxicating, but it makews me say the oddest things. Cuckoo cuckoo ! See ? Oddest things. ;D Oh dear, I do believe I didn't get the tone quit right this time: Another one. Oh well, nothing lasts forever, orgasms are also birds of passage, right ? I think I'need to sleep now. Carry on, lads.
