War and Kill Targets

In every round I have played, there would always be a KT (kill target) named. Each one was mark to die because of aggressive operation, or launching of missiles, or simply a war target. Each time, I participated in killing these mark planets because it’s my duty as a member of my alliance. But this round, I refused to take part in killing MageRealm (3:10).

It started when I logged in and read that MageRealm tried to kidnap my planet’s population several times but only two manage to penetrate. I did not take much notice of this until I read in the alliance forum about 2 or 3 planets from slackers alliance had attack some planets in my alliance with missiles and aggressive operation. It occurred to me that the slackers alliance might be retaliating the attacks against MageRealm so I message them about it and they answered that they are indeed retaliating aggressive operation against MageRealm. I also learned that the reason our alliance was killing the MageRealm is because he was the alliance leader of slackers and has randomly declared war against our alliance. I believe that such action does indeed deserve some swift reaction but nothing drastic as a kill target. That is why I ask our Alliance leader to finally make peace with the slackers.

Ooops. Okay. Okay. Just because MageRealm is not a kill target doesn’t mean we can’t hit him, right? Especially after he just attacked somebody else and opened himself up for a good assault.

Moving on to a more recent event, and more eye catcher for the rest of the players of Galaxies Ablaze, some disgruntled alliance has finally decided that they have enough of supreme alliance monopoly on the top ranks and has declared war against them and started to kill them one by one. It was a bold move that gained them respect from non-supreme planets.

I don’t know what some system leaders were thinking but I got the impression that there is some kind of panic in their action, when they left the supreme alliance and created a new alliance called Goliath. It seems they left there former alliance mate to save their own skin. But the Goliath alliance still represents what some people hate about supreme, and that is stacking of top planets, so I believe that those people that declared war against supereme would also declare war against them.

Right now, Alaska is the only one I know that was made a kill target.

I hope our alliance does not get involved in this war. It’s too confusing on which side is the right side to join. Still, I’m going to complete my rack of missiles (I thought to build biobomb last because it only kills population). I wish I know more on what’s happening right now.

Sustenance

After that unfortunate incident with Wild Dude Raphael, I started building up my defense and waited for an opportunity. First thing is to finish my recovery status. An alliance planet of mine has offered to suicide and disbands her military so I can get her planet’s land. She says she was considering quitting this round because of the alliance “Supreme”. I thank her but refuse the offer. I calculated that I would gain more land and resources if I completed the recovery status instead of bashing (Bashing is attacking a planet smaller then 50% of the attackers land size. Bashing will only gain an attacker a smaller percent of land and resources then an ordinary attack) her planet (Attacking of any form will cancel the recovery status).

Later, after I got out of recovery status, I immediately look for a target to attack. I also monitored the action of the top planets (members of the alliance Supreme ;p); If they had sent their generals out already.

I notice that most of them that can hit me, and not bash, has already sent their generals out, all but one. I waited and waited for Stand Alone Complex (3:4) to send his generals out until I grew tired and decided to ignore him (ignore, ignore). To my surprise I sent my military out, just a minute when he attack Mr. Chel.

Jun 30, 6:58 am Troops from Chel (3:7) assaulted Daedric Gotcha II (2:12) and conquered 440 land.
Jun 30, 7:58 am Troops from Stand Alone Complex (3:4) assaulted Chel (3:7) and conquered 701 land.
Jun 30, 7:59 am Troops from Strawberry Cupcake (3:7) assaulted Demon Eyes Girl is hot (1:2) and conquered 363 land.

Scary huh? Me and and Mr. Chel were almost the same networth, so I could have been the one that got hit if I had attack earlier. I became even more cautious when and where I would send my generals. It makes finding a good target really difficult.

It took me two days of waiting, to finally get a chance of finding all of them (the top planets) sending their generals out again. I immediately look for a target and found none. Bleh >p. I went looking for the next best thing, fat planets; there are plenty of those so I grab one.

Jul 2, 1:59 pm Troops from Strawberry Cupcake (3:7) assaulted Cybertron (1:3) and conquered 372 land.

Good thing I found one. I was running out of power and barracks space. With the new land infuse to my planet; my planet should be fine until I can find a better target, which I did. I found out that Weyr has just sent his army out so I went to take a look at his SOM and he looks great for my next target. I have seen weyr attack last night but I did not attack him because I was wary of Stand Alone Complex. He is just too good to hit with his AAV out that I could not resist attacking him, no matter what the consequences.

Jul 3, 12:59 am Troops from Strawberry Cupcake (3:7) assaulted WEYR (2:1) and conquered 423 land.

Now, I have enough land to sustain me for sometime, which means only asteroid for me for the next couple of days, maybe. I have to be careful in gaining weight as I don’t want to look attractive when those top planets start’s looking for a target.

I also have news about my system planets. A planet in our system, Yamimaru, got hit two times (2x) by StarPunch. It is considered bad manners to attack a planet more then once in a short period of time and that is what StarPunch did. Good thing a good system planet took revenge on StarPunch for the bad thing he did.

Jul 2, 12:31 am Troops from StarPunch (3:12) pillaged Yamimaru (3:7) and snatched 42 land.
Jul 2, 4:26 pm Troops from StarPunch (3:12) assaulted Yamimaru (3:7) and conquered 171 land.
Jul 2, 5:19 pm Troops from Tarzana (3:7) assaulted StarPunch (3:12) and conquered 233 land.

I’m so proud to be in a good system. =D
