no, I'm not gonna brag unless I get goaded into it (so dont test me)

6 diplomatic game (initially FFA) very VERY interesting spawns, strat and I allied because we each had 7 terran planets (between the two of us) within a few jumps of one another (I think the two farthest away were 7 VERY SHORT jumps, although most were adjacent) AND we completed a defensive loop, so infighting would have hurt us way more than allying helped. anyway I pulled of an assassination on emp's marza, which felt good, however it accomplished very little (ended up handing eet a terran planet on a platter) I didnt keep good track of the alliegance switches, however in the end emp and multi together pulled up a 7 tier combined attack force including SEVEN capital ships, I was shitting my pants to say the least

anyway, good focus firing and defense allowed me to shred 4/5 capital ships with only a small fleet of my own, I took severe losses however the ammount of healer-thingies saved the day and my own ass, gave strat plenty of time to come and rescue me. so then, I dunno, things ended

interesting replay however! I cant wait to look over what eets was doing the whole time, I get the feeling either he was in a pact with multi and/or TGE the whole time, either that or he was just bickering 1v1 with that other guy.

anyway heres the replay, I just felt like posting it to show some pretty interesting FFA alliegiances setup, its interesting how some formed of need (me and strat) and some out of spite (multi and emp) nothing really became of it, but I assume had the game continued (due to the massive cluster of terrans strat and I had) that we would have been able to way overproduce and overrun.

cheers!
