*** gets out his list of players to be wary off and adds "likes to use warp tech and sd" under Roanon's name ***

I must say though, it did suprise the **** out of me, didnt expect it at all, and Im not even on the receving end!

That pretty much sums it up... my entire navy would have difficulties to challenge even what they call a "small fleet"

I am curious about the current state of the NethernoS, but of course that is classified data.

Hehehe... perfectly understandable. I would be curious too. Well, I'll try to use a picture: Imagine a cute, innocent little squirrel caught between a lion, a wolf and a tiger...

I had no idea what to expect when I took over the Nether'noS. What shall I say? Normally, when you take over as replacement player, most of your time is dedicated to play the turns. In my case, it took only two turns until most of my time was dedicated to diplomacy...

BTW: I was able to solve the Pickaxe situation

And my own Empire will likely get involved in this area sooner or later as well, so.

You are going to do what? Do you have suicidal tendencies?

Can you do yourself and us a favor and make that "later"? We already have enough trouble here

Good luck with the NethernoS Empire, I'm afraid you will need it.

With emphasis on "afraid", I guess...

Definitely. Whoever will prevail in this conflict, is likely to become the most powerful empire of the galaxy. To stay with my picture (see previous post): The squirrel will sit innocently beside a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Well, at least I can smile at approaching doom, hehehe...

even if it is definitively better than being right in the middle of the Three Empires aforementioned.

So, se5a, consider yourself lucky Altough, if I'm getting killed it doesn't really matter if that's done by a lion or a Tyrannosaurus...

Which is exactly the reason why you should try to get involved in our area better "later" than "sooner". However, if you are looking toward a way to get killed as quickly as possible, you are invited to come over

I will get involved diplomatically, that is, I will probably send a ship to explore this area. Nothing more, we are your friends after all. *Hmm* (Although if I was to send my whole fleet, I could pose quite a threat to either the Zax or the Rorgs. *Grins*) I could help you, I am very friendly with allies, especially weaker allies, easier to exp... erh trading with them is much easier. And Lastly, have a look at the People's Empire if you think the NethernoS are among the weakest Empires.

Yes, I spent half an hour doing my turn, and half a day writing Messages to each neighbour, every turn. Diplomacy is mandatory when you are in such a position, or luck, and hopefully you will have both. But I will reassure you, bigger Empires also have their drawbacks, such as having three wars going on at once and fleets ten systems away from each other. At least such problems do not exist for your Empire heh.

Don't complain about the current state of the NethernoS Empire until you saw how it was when I took over. I believe *all* the fleet had something like 20-30 DUC III and perhaps five to ten Seekers I. (And a few units here and there) Nothing able to stand its ground against even five true warships. Granted, the situation was only slightly better when I had to resign, with... what, a hundred and some weapons available? Still far from being enough to challenge any standard taskforce (that is, fifty ships for the Nyxians).

New contacts are always welcome. Whoever dares to enter our area...

It's always a pleasure to meet people who want to help me just out of the goodness of their heart

And Lastly, have a look at the People's Empire if you think the NethernoS are among the weakest Empires.

Oh, I admit that there are weaker empires. Being number 7 currently, there are actually more weaker than stronger empires Unfortunately, with the exception of the Swedes, all the big players are here in my area, *rejoice, rejoice*

No, no, nobody is complaining here

In this case I have to admit you've done pretty well.

Yeah, *sigh*. That's the problem - even the strongest squirrel is no match for a lion...
