eets if you only turn and run when you're garunteed a loss, you need to rethink your strategy. sometimes you pull back due to risk, or because you *could* take out the enemy cap, but you dont want to risk it frankly when it comes down to it a level 3 anything will crush an akkan unless it has a massive numerical advantage OR ion bolt, the evacuator can hold its own for a little while, but nonetheless will get danced all over. even if your enemy does lose his cap.

2 things 1) again I've been here longer than you, I know what I can and cannot manage to continue a succesful buildup 2) a drop in a bucket is still a drop that your enemy doesnt have. something that snowballs into a much greater advantage if you are pressing the attack (one of the better strategies in this game) again you dont seem to understand how easy it is to get up two logistics buildings and a single research, if you cant do it before you have 4 planets capped you are goi

well yeah, the in game players are apt to do it, but politeness and humility are not so common here.

so because there are some gay chickens out there, this chicken is probably gay? Ron theres also the possibility that the KGB hired a chinese femme fatal ninja to assassinate him using an untraceable poison dipped in honey syrup, but that doesnt make me think that its the logical explanation.
