You do inspire me though to maybe keep a log of my game (in game D) and then post it later once the game is over.

Yup. I wouldn't be a fan of it either...it would definitely tempt me to try to take you out early. I'd watch out if I were you.

Hehe I shall be back here often

Lol jk XD best of luck! (Also your land grab in the game will reset and the map gets regenned once we get everyone in game.

I dunno, I'm looking forward to going back and watching it after the fact. I don't see any reason to be upset about it. I wish there were more broadcast games.

Yah I will definitely post things late. I have done this before (here is a link if you want to look at the thread viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1130) and I found I usualy ended up posting at least 6 hours late purely because of procrastination. Also if anything this should not hurt you as much as it hurts me solely because everyone can see what I am doing not so much what you are doing. But this should not be an issue unless you are checking the thread. Also now that there are 2 pages to the thread you could always wait until there are 3 pages and then look at everything on the second page.

Alrighty the game has started. Here is my opening setup for the game. I have settled disputes over outposts diplomatically so I am nearly certain these will be my starting outposts. I spoke with alexcata and I beleve we are going to be allies for this game. Anyway here is my starting grab.

Here is the list of players.

Hi here is the first bit of tension. I sent 25 drillers to humblerod a dormant outpost I thought that that would be enough to firmly secure the outpost. I was wrong. Rosslesness send his entire factory with 40 drillers to the outpost. My sub gets there first so I have an interesting choice. Leave or stay? I can leave my drillers there and destroy 25 of his drillers but still lose the outpost. Or risk moving out my drillers somewhere safe (like the dormant outpost he didn't go for) and leave myself open for a potential attack of 40 subs. I am planning to evacuate my subs thinking I will probably be able to defend my outposts without them. What would you do? Leave your thoughts in this thread and it should make for some interesting tactics discussions. Also I was told by Ttalaric (brown) that he and a few other people are attacking purple. Rosslesness will probably need all of the drillers he can get and will move back these 40 drillers.

i didnt follow all the details but is this fair to other players? to post screenshots and give up their count of drillers and positions ? Not cool imo

Don't worry I spoke with all of them and they all agreed not to read the thread in the spirit of subterfuge. Also I post the information late so this is all old and will hardly effect the game.

So my situation has gotten a little more complicated. Cyan has launched subs at my factory and there is no way to defend it. But I will use this in my favor. I spoke with him and said that if we worked together we could eliminate light blue. He has agreed and we (I hope) are in an alliance and I have his target set on light blue. Hopefully this works. On to dark blue. He has started moving units to our border. He will have about 150 drillers ready to strike. He has not responded to me. I fear the worst. He might be drilling mines but I'm not certain. I am hireing a security chief to help defend. I have convinced orange to help me as well. Brown would help but he is taking on purple. Any thoughts?
