Great tactical timing on your side Iggy. My internet went down last night and I was *this* close getting 4-6 of your planets under my control. Bravo for the game!
I am, by the way, sincerely happy for third place. It was my first game, so it means a lot.
EDIT: I need to make two statements.
First off, many thanks to everyone, but especially Terrance for giving me a
great social gaming experience. I think my and his diplomacy worked out for the better; as he said, I was too strong for him to invade at first, and later it would be a strategical suicide since he needed me for merciary and later Iggy. Apparently, making sure the borders are tense and offering systems/gifts for jumping points and planning tactics mutually is a great recipe for a stable relationship. Especially the borders needed to be tense. Thanks for a great game, Terrance, well fought. And I'd like to acknowledge everyone else for playing, merciary's desperate expansion, Iggy's imperialism, and Daft's desperate last stand. I felt like the battleground of the other great powers, being a former great power myself. Was a
lot of fun.
Secondly, I'd like to add that I'm sorry I didn't RP much this game. I simply haven't had the RL time. I'm with my girlfriend permanently these months, and I'm on vacation in the Czech Republic atm without much access to the internet. So... I promise I'll get better at being a character ingame.
