Galaxies Ablaze: Round 26

I signed up again for another round of Galaxies Ablaze, and as always, I’m face with a dilemma on what planet type, personality, and strategy I should use. It is important that a player has already decided this kind of things before the game begins because some of them can’t be change when it finally starts, and changing the others will slow your planets growth.

Keeping this in mind, I carefully shape my planet’s overall makeup, and double checked it to make sure I made no mistake. After much worrying if I got it all right, I came up with a volcanic planet with a restless personality. I followed the turtle strategy last round, so I thought I should have a change and follow the assault strategy for this round.

The game will start running Jun 4, 12:00 pm (Galaxies Ablaze time). I wish the game would start already. I can’t sleep with this excitement building up inside of me. Hee hee!

Wonder Theft

I knew that chaos mode was fast approaching, so I immediately arrange a wonder grab. Although I was oppose to the idea, since it’s too late in the game, certain planets in our system insisted and have started donating some power and population. I decided to help them so I gave all the resources I manage to accumulate in the next couple of days.

I ask our alliance if they could help us in destroying a wonder, and pledges started flowing in. Finally, we got enough missiles to destroy 3800 wonder points. I was so happy about the support and gleefully assigned a date for the fireworks display. I posted in the alliance forum that we will take down a wonder on May 27, 2006 at 12AM. I also posted that the name of the wonder will be posted 5 minutes before the operation.

Here is the thread I created 30 minutes before launch time.


Wonder Contributions:

Money Contributed = 12,084,725
Population Contributed = 18,873
Power Contributed = 612,850

Come on ladies and gentlemen. It’s now or never. If we fail now there won’t be a second chance as chaos mode is looming over our heads.

Do or die people! Let’s make this one count.

Ok. Let's move it to May 27 at 12 am. We need more than 12 hrs to inform everyone and prepare them. It would be best if everyone is online around 11pm.

Okay. We launch on May 28 at 8AM. We better hurry this because Chaos Mode is fast approaching.

I’ll merge this thread with the wonder shoot down in a few hours. Remember 8:00 AM GA time on May 28, 2006. Ooh, I’m getting excited again.

Although it's chaos mode, it's a waste if we dont grab it after all that has happened.
