VN officially declares war on Black Hole Probes! Two newbs who seem to want a war, with the comment, Declare away? Odd that such a young alliance wants to have the bashing rule taken away. Shame, totally against what I believe in really, but hey, who am I to complain. Especially as the leader says he can't be bothered to fleetsave and has been offered the guide to doing so. Also stated that he can't really be bothered to play!?! Weird!

With reference to the messages posted IN THE WRONG PLACE, this being one of them.

"LOL WreckedEm funny stuff....

How did this war even start? Why did you declare war on a 27k player?? Makes no sense.....missiles?"

Joemac, your alliance left fleets sitting, at the time one of those fleets was considerable. A member of our alliance offered to your "leader", haha, for want of a better word, a fleet save guide, he stated that he couldn't be bothered will all that. His choice, strange as that might be, when I mentioned in conversation the word "war" he replied, declare away, so I did. Easy, simple stuff really. Also, many thanks to you guys for improving, no end, my attacking, defending ratios, it's going up so quickly, better than I ever imagined, keep up the good work.

Love and Hugs,

Oz.

xxxxx

Also with reference to this 27k player thing, which I'm still trying to figure out. As usual, a newb with a strop on who is as clear as mud with his mutterings. Am I correct in assuming that in Standard Universe, you gain 1 point for a 1000 resources spent? Assuming the maths to be correct, 27k means there have been a lot of resources spent? Also, the statement, along the lines of, I cant be bothered to fleetsave. Now the player formerly known as Joemac, also following the " I can't be bothered to fleetsave" mantra, left a fleet sitting. THis was before the war declaration , in response to "declare away" statement, haha. But here are the basic details.

The attacker has won the battle !
You receive 1.875.409 units of Metal, 283.737 units of Crystal and 174.554 units of Deuterium.
The attacker has lost a total of 0 units.
The defender has lost a total of 13.116.200 units.
A debris field containing 4.581.420 units of Metal and 2.544.300 units of Crystal has formed in orbit around the planet.
The probability of creating a moon is : 19 %

Could this be why they are not so happy bunnies, lol. You gotta love newbs!! BTW, I collected al the debris, and it went towards some very nice, shiny new ships, oh and those missiles that they love so much. I love a good firework party, I know they do also!!

Thanks for all the resources guy's, the attacking score, the boosting of my attack/defends wins to losses ratio.

With ref to this other message posted IN THE WRONG PLACE , HAHA!

"Well, we didn't declare war. He declared war on us. I think I might have had a total of 20-30 ships at the time, basically all cargo. He just didn't like getting a probe, so he declared war. Ironic, because since then I have probed him regularly."

I in fact declared war because you invited me to. You had a total of 20 - 30 ship as, you said it yourself, you cannot be bothered to fleetsave, and have been hit by myself, FaTal, etc...lol.. Everybody's fault but your own?? Love it, you have really brightened up Standard!! lol!!!!!!

Hey OZ, I see you have slipped in the rankings down to number 3. Don't worry mate, you will always be 'number 2' with us at BHP.

We ARE brightening things up aren't we? Injecting a bit of humour. It is good times. You will have to forgive us if we post something in an area that is not to your liking. BHP are rule breakers and risk takers, raging against the machine, fighting the man. Either that or we just get it wrong sometimes. I blame our lackadaisical attitude.

You might be misunderstanding, there is no blame or hard feelings from this side of the fence. I know it is difficult to read NVC (non verbal communication) through text, but you have it all wrong. We are all pretty chilled over here at BHP. You might have noticed we are only gently mocking you, no-one is grumpy here. (No offence to any little people).

Don't let this stop you. Anytime you want to publicly pound yourownbutt, savage yourownmother or smash somesmallkittens, you go for it.

We better clarify about how this war started, you seem confused.You didn't like receiving a probe and told us that you would smash us if we sent another one. When we sent more, you declared a war. Fair enough I say, but don't try to sell it a different way. Have some pride.

There has been some talk about Omnimpotent Emperor (that's his rank) Heyyou aka JoeMac. He does tend to type how he talks. I can put everyone's mind at ease regarding Dr J questioning his intellect. Heyyou's intellect is off the charts. Our scientists are currently working very hard to establish which end. I will advise when the results are in.

If you look at the rankings, you will see that BHP members have been climbing, while Oz has been dropping. In the rankings we are clear winners in this war. The evidence is indisputable. Google numbers if you don't believe me. I have found that numbers can be a neat way of adding and subtracting things.

We wait for your inevitable surrender, or at least until our draw is officially ratified.

Brace yourself for a couple more probes, right up your black hole.

BHP forever!! Or until we get bored.

You say "We better clarify about how this war started, you seem confused.You didn't like receiving a probe and told us that you would smash us if we sent another one. When we sent more, you declared a war. Fair enough I say, but don't try to sell it a different way. Have some pride."

A complete fabrication. It was by your invite. No confusion. Further more, call your planets what you like, but leave the questionable references to peoples parentage out of it. It's not big, it's not clever, and is very nasty.

Now don't get all down on things Oz. You can't really honestly want to try to play the victim here. You declared a war on two guys just fooling around, now you claim hurt feelings when it doesn't quite go your way?

You have the choice to attack whatever planet you want. If it makes you look a bit silly, and people are having a giggle about it, you can't seriously call us nasty.

Common sense will tell you, why the hell would we want to start a fleet fight, with no fleets? No matter which way you try to spin it.

Mate, I think you might have taken things a bit seriously here. We are just poking fun. I have actually had quite a few laughs with your team mates. They are good jokers.

I tell you what, I know you have told me we can't discuss terms, but in the spirit of good sportsmanship, how about we graciously waive the 3 probe tribute that we were thinking of demanding and accept your surrender now. Then we can go back to being buddies.

Can't be fairer than that. What do you reckon?

No victim here, although self delusion seems to be your domain. I'm quite happy to keep racking up my attack score, and likewise, by defence winning stats, lol! Keep up the good work! Like I said, call your planets what you will, but there is a line to be crossed when they are used to insult or whatever, the memory/respect of peoples parents. I think, even in your jokey way, would even agree to that?

I agree Oz. Is there anyone you would like to make sure wasn't insulted?

Let's cut to the chase. Do you have anything worth taking that I can take?
