Final News Report from IMG

[Dadds]

My suggestion is 'get over it' and move on...

Thanks for the suggestion from another thread, Sargas. Here is my response to quote:

Attacker victory!

Now IMG is free to move on and destroy ALL pirate corps and their sympathizers with impunity as declared by Aysle.  Thanks for making me see the light, Sargas! IMG no longer hold any claim over Saturn as their sovereign territory. I tried to negotiate the civilized way, now its back to basics. You babysit the children, if they get in my way they will become an extinct species.
<Lock and load guys!>
Tactical nuclear warfare is now authorised and approved. WEAPONS HOT!

Dadds, CiC [IMG]

[raphael]

The Syndicate officially declares victory in Saturn!   

IMG has finally come to realize the unstoppable power of the Syndicate. No amount of intimidation and foolish attacks (the attack above cost about 28.7 million solars!) can stop the Syndicate from pursuing their goals! The war with IMG will continue, but the disclaimer of Saturn proves that the Syndicate is surely a force to be reckoned with!

As IMG hides itself into oblivion in the outer rings, the Syndicate now proposes a Non-aggression Pact to PMI.

No proposal to NHC as the Syndicate leaves them alone and doesn't see them as a threat.

[Dadds]

1 com mission just earned me 16million solars +. trust me, excessive nuke force is cheap and designed to deal with opponents like you Raphael. There is plenty more of where that came from. And only a fool will claim a victory from constantly and consistently losing battles to my fleet. Your "mighty" titan ship just got jumped by a Class III frigate without even getting scratched! LOL

As IMG hides itself into oblivion in the outer rings, the Syndicate now proposes a Non-aggression Pact to PMI.

Haw! Haw! Haw! You are one deluded sorry case in denial Raphael.
Its your motto that states it "slinks in from the shadows", which is where you dwell 95% of the time. Under some unimportant piece of rock. You havent bested any one of my team or my fleet and never will. This little "demonstration" was just the first of what you can expect to be party to and target of, in coming weeks

[Dadds]

And you can add as a "by the way", anyone entering a pact with [SSS] will be considered enemy and targets of [IMG]. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Ouch that hurt!!! So much for oblivion. I would say Raphael has been "blown into oblivion" more like it

And a hearty thanks to the informant for the intel tip off, who shall remain anonymous.
Back to the shadows, Raphael

[raphael]

You spend at least 4x more speeding up attacks compared to me just rehiring lost personnel.

So go ahead and attack all my ships.  Then maybe my finance will go below 100 million after a few days of nonstop hiring. 

[JamJulLison]

Raph I can't sign a NAP with you. As an outlaw our options are limited. The only way to call off aggresive actions to you and your corp would be to not attack GC members, apologize for your actions, petititon to be removed from outlaw status and show us you have changed.

[Dadds]

Maybe i have 4x more money at hand than you do to spare. The other thing you fail to realize is its not about financial gain or loss, its about disrupting you and your activities, about beating you in single combat. I suspect if i keep trashing your long combat counters and ships, it will eat hard into your financial income also. So for me, its win-win. you have to replace troops and start a long combat counter yet again, so that for us is a double win. You are yet to claim an actual win against me or my troop.

[sargas]

please don't take my quote out of context...

please re-read the original...

all I meant was:

Neither 'taunting' nor 'childish behavior' are against the rules. 

...In fact, I often find them entertaining (there was this one Croatian message that referenced my mother.)...

it is not an abuse of rules...

Then let's start. There's no need for your 'intel'. Attack this: IHJ 2970->S/IHJ 2970 I1.   

That ship is currently doing a COM mission. You have 36 hours left as of posting time, which should be enough time for your "advanced ships". I will earn millions if you fail to attack it successfully. We can also create a separate thread just for this.

I doubt you will attack though, and YOU WILL EAT YOUR WORDS!

Oh well, it was worth a try. Back to attacking Jupiter then. LOL

[Dadds]

I am there, and i doubt you will hang around to see the conclusion to the battle. With a battle timer of around 75hrs for a ship vs ship conflict, this game kills itself in its ability to actually have any actual battle result or outcome for vessels of any significant size. The exercise is a pointless one at best except as a demonstration how the combat system is unworkable for players with some stature in the game.

[raphael]

I am there, and i doubt you will hang around to see the conclusion to the battle.

That's not the point. The point is for you to speed up the battle as you made a long reply of a "double win" for you if you disrupt my activities. I guess you just ate your words. 

I think the reason for the long timer is to prevent the game from becoming a war game. So if you really want to hit someone, you have to spend a lot. It's been like that since the beginning, so deal with it. 

[Dadds]

That's not the point. The point is for you to speed up the battle as you made a long reply of a "double win" for you if you disrupt my activities. I guess you just ate your words.

You have a strange grip on reality and to reading into words. Not once did i say i wasnt going to disrupt your activities, the combat counter is ticking as is my strike clock here. I dont see how you see that as "eating my words"
The game hasnt been like this from the beginning at all. The combat system has changed greatly, as has weaponry rules and powers. Players have also changed in stature and power. At the very start a powerful ship would be considered in the 100's of 1,000's or less. Now its rated in the 10's of millions.
This shows the game cannot evolve and grow to the speed and growth of players and eventually it will just stagnate into a pve game and stop, with the only PvP'ing to be done on planets/orbits only with small attack ships. Stick a powerful ship there and even that would become an impossibility for lengthy timers

[Dadds]

Ohhhh and in another stunning victory and total sacking of the opposition, the "ironsides" of the IMG corporate fleet flag carrier aging now in its service, ISBM FLAGSHIP has brought down low SSS ship "Judas Cradle" captained by Admiral Raphael. Talk about "rocking the cradle". Nursery rhymes go through my head with "when the bow breaks, the cradle will fall, and down will come (baby)Raphael, cradle and Alllllllllll "
Here are the blow by blow details of another very well executed positioning of troops in an attempt to minimise the cost of combat timers while maximizing energy deliverance. Several firing solutions presented itself, but Admiral of the fleet, CiC Dadds decided this latest victory should belong to the original fleet carrier and flagship of the corporation, ISBM FLAGSHIP.

Raphael attacked a station of mine and because of this I'll give 25QP to every Captain, that attacks him. 

Your attack has to be proved with the battle report!
