Is there anybody out there? (sound of crickets)

I had to look....I thought maybe this was a thread for the Ice Tourney

Naw. That threads in the other forum.

Its the practice game for it:] More then welcome to stop in and check it out. Very interesting to say the least!! Not sure whats more pathetic, the fact it took them 2 days to get reds busted up, when they did bust-up burned 300 blue turns running ship loads of Torps. and Det out to space for them to bust up, or only affording enough to bust them up to 1k exp, or the fact they where ssting w/ 3 MF's, or the fact they were SST'ing at all when the MF is 1tpw, or the fact they where using 33holds MF's to furb their MF sst ships after they busted while stealing 35 holds at a time cause their low EXP. I can go on but iam sure you get the gist:]

And you know what they say about assumptions.

Just because you haven't seen a strategy yet, does not mean that it's wrong.

They are probably building 30 bases or so while trying to bust up. Xanos knows the capabilities of his players it would not want to sacrifice them at dock. Without risk there is no reward.

I hope so. It's a lot easier for us when they build our planets for us.

Actually, learned this one from you. Reds bust planets in building sites first. LOL

I suppose. However, this is the first time I've ever heard of anyone that considered "losing" a strategy.

You learned that from Xanos I just didn't argue about it.
I prefer wasting money and conserving money making turns.

Day 3 CLV! Slow playing is the strategy Iam seeing here, ROFL!!!
