PBW "newbie game"

Hmm not sure if Baal was being sarcastic there...

By the way Baal, I'm sure you looked at the combat replay of our big battle. I figured the only way to stand a chance against those 50 ships, all heavy on armor, was to exploit its only weakness: build a lot of boarding ships FAST. But from the replay I couldn't really tell if that worked, it was mostly my ships doing more damage than yours because of the offense and defense bonuses I enjoyed.
And I did not end up with any of your ships in my fleet. I've never tried boarding parties before...did you see any of your ships going to my side mid-battle or firing on your own ships?

*bump*

Just a senseless post to see if my rank would go up when I hit 100 Posts.

Guess it didn't work :-(
Serves me right for paying attention to ranks.

Oo, is that what determines rank, then? I'll have to make a point of posting more pointless little Posts, like this one.

On the other hand, my sense of morality would give me problems. Stupid morals. So I guess I'll add a meaningful comment to this thread: Baal's departure from Newbie I can be worked into the game from a RP perspective by saying that his empire's leader was replaced after the loss of his fleet. By coup or by resignation or by election remains to be seen.
There, I feel better. And closer to five-star general at the same time.

If you're looking for someone to take Baal's place, I'm game to try my hand at it. I'm a PBW newbie, so I qualify (I've taken a grand total of ONE PBW turn so far). It would be interesting to see if his empire can be salvaged. Remember: it's not hopeless until your Last colony has been blown to smithereens....

Already have a replacment. He didn't know of Baal's agreement with the Certdash (me) though, so he got his scout ship blown to very small little pieces.

The Certdash are a bit territorial
