Default Re: Phun Challenge: The Phun Pfederation vs Crystal Gail

Location: The planet farthest from Phun Phed Phace
Date: 60-th Turn
A meeting of the very highest of the high is taking place
The attendees all communicating in muted vibrations, (aka whispers)
Servant 1 to Servant 2 – Why are they all mutting? The enemy is 20 warp points from here they could never infiltrate this far.
Servant 2: They think it is cool

Location: A secrete place nobody but nobody knows about, (not even the people present)
Secret person #1: Sir, we have problems
Secret person #2: What kind of problems
Secret person #1: The enemy knows how many ships we have
Secret person #2: Sorry, That’s not my department
Secret Person #1: What is your department
Secret Person #2: Sorry, that’s a secrete
Secret Perons #1: Were are we
Secret Person #2: Sorry, that’s a secrete
Secrete Person #1: What can you tell me
Secret Person #2: Sorry, that’s a secrete
Secret Person #1: Who should I talk to, no wait, don’t tell me, that’s a secret.
Secret Person #2: Sorry, that’s a secrete

From the ministry of Dissin Information
The bad news: The enemy knows how many ships we have.
The good news: The we are going to recycle lots and lots of them so they won’t know how many ships we have
The bad news: A lot of our brave people are going to die

Good news. We will soon achieve cloaking level XXX. Now no children will be able to see us. Nothing in the known quadrant can see through it except adults and we know the Phun Pheds don’t have any.. (we hope)

If you have any questions please ask for an exact copy of this
Thank you and have a good day
Where are we?
Secret Person #2: Sorry, that’s a secrete

I see you've been having some extreme fun (in secret, of course ).

BTW, I don't think there's much you can do in a stock game that can keep you from being seen, is there? Unless you can become a mine...hehe.

Are you asking me or the forum?
My minister of Dissin Information says our XXX hard core Cloaking system will be implemented shortly.
We don't know how you are spying on our ships but they will dissapear shortly.

Slynky I see you lurking. Are you going to post some witty rejoinder?

No real witty retort springs to mind.

(although I AM wondering just how you plan to scrap all those ships)

Scrap? Did I say "Scrap"? I don't think so. I Wonder how good your spy sats are. That is what you are using isn't it?

One turn you will be able to see my fleets, the next turn you won't. It is that simple.

To paraphrase Kamchack,
"I am a Gryphn, I have a plan"

EDIT:
Reguarding limits on being scene:
From the FAQ

Quote:
5.9.7 To see a cloaked (level X) ship, you only need 1 kind of sensor (hyper optic, tachyon, gravitic, temporal, psychic) level X in the system. This sensor can be on any of your ships or sat’s, your ally’s ship’s or sat’s (even the ship/sat that is cloaked!!!). This does not take into account storm/nebula effects.

The Dissin Information Minister would like to appolgies for the small error in accuracy.
The truth is we have known about your ships in our systmes for at least .. well that would be telling.
