Stacked War

The war earlier mentioned has grown very confusing. The Supreme alliance has split and its former members are now on a path of destroying each other. Who is the stacked alliance again? I don’t know anymore. People say that the Goliath alliance is the stacked alliance since it covers most of the top 10 scores (Probably because of 2:2. Frankly, any alliance 2:2 joins can be considered a stack alliance. They had the biggest players there. Hee hee!) It seems that the only way 2:2 could move away from the mark of a stack alliance is if it joined in one of the small alliance. Since they didn’t; people still think of them as stack.

Some people in the Goliath alliance consider Peregrine as the stack alliance since it is now the top alliance. But several people I know do not consider it so. Why do people consider the 2nd strongest alliance as stack while the 1st isn’t? The answer that was given to me was because Peregrine does not own the top 10 planet. They just have several big, but only few super big, planets. While Goliath has several super big planets but little else.

The result is that a number of big planets were pulled down the ladder. Now only 1 planet in 2:2 is in the top 10 and only 2 in 3:4. Peregrine has two or three planets.

I’m not going to elaborate who was taken down and who is currently marked as a kill target. All that I can say is that the drop of land and networth is staggering. The only time I saw this kind of thing happening was back when I was a member of syndicate.

Whoever is stack and whoever is right, does not matter to most of the players in Galaxies Ablaze. It is generally agreed, it is better and more fun this way, that two top alliance warring with each other, then if the members of the supreme alliance had stuck together. Unlike in Fantasian Kingdom were the top nation had indeed split, but instead of hitting each other; together they war on nations less then 1/10th of either one of them. Now that is bullying.

As for me I’m sticking to my original policy of don’t get involve.

Hit list

Friends Miss

Reuniting with Déjà vu and Mr. Imhotep reminded me of my comrades that left our system.

Ms. Tarzana aka Ms. Jane, deleted her account recently. She is a good system partner to have because she cares for her fellow system planets and do her best to protected them. She also participates in group activities and a real team player.

There are also good wonder donators Accidic Revenge and Killswitch Engage. Killswitch Engage was the best wonder donator of all. He donated most of the resources needed to build the wonder. So he surprised me when he later teleported out of our system after the wonder of his choice was built. When I ask him why he teleported out, he told me that he wish to join with his friend in another system. As for Accidic, he deleted a couple of weeks later after he teleported. Then there is chel. Well, chel is chel. ~~
I miss all of them. Hope they would play again next round so we could all have fun playing this fun game Galaxies Ablaze. See you all! ~~

Exquisite

Our system has finally left the Dunno alliance. It was a good move since the Dunno alliance was dying anyway. Most of its members had left before us while the systems remaining are made up of inactive planets. So we have no choice but to say good bye and leave it.

But before we left, I was the alliance leader of that alliance for a couple of days. That’s right. For the first time, I became an alliance leader. Cool huh? ~~

The original alliance leader, Tris aka Chel, quit the round and deleted his planet and pass the alliance leadership to me. I tried to do my best to reenergize the alliance but unfortunately it way too late for that. So when Speed of Gasoline asks me if we should leave Dunno, I pass the leadership to him and let him decide because I don’t mind either way. Later Speed had also given up on Dunno and we left it to join the Exquisite alliance.

I think I will like it here in Exquisite. Members in this alliance are mostly active players and I know two people in this alliance (Exquisite), Deja vu and Imhotep. We were in the same alliance last round so I’m excited to be with them again. Déjà vu was never big, probably because he went on vacation earlier. While Imhotep was once big but was made a kill target, therefore was reduce down the size.

Yup, moving here in Exquisite is a good move (thanks speed of gasoline) and I’m glad to be home. :)
