Kill Target

This is the first time I’ve been in an alliance were there are so many kill target. We must have over haft a dozen kill target already. I try to participate as much as I can, but I did not join Galaxies Ablaze just to bring down targets for no reason. Believe it or not, its no fun participating in this kind of alliance activity. I try to participate as much as I can but I’m going to need more incentive to be more active.

Oct 14, 12:44 am We launched a Revenger missile at Round 28 (2:9) and destroyed 100 land, killed no population, and there were no military casualties.

Now, the assault below is for me and not my alliance. I’m glad that I was still able to assault anyone after all those asteroids that came passing by. Burf! OOOPS!! Sorry! Hee hee!

Oct 13, 6:02 am Troops from The PIT (2:10) attacked the Rogue Asteroid and conquered 38 land.
Oct 13, 6:03 am Troops from The PIT (2:10) attacked the Rogue Asteroid and conquered 34 land.

Now I’m Rolling!


Ever since Yoshi of 1:4 successfully assaulted my planet, I have been building defense unit in masses. But now that I have research and built the lasermen and dragoon units; I’m finally assaulting planets again.

Oct 12, 3:23 am Troops from The PIT (2:10) assaulted bob (1:9) and conquered 161 land.
Oct 12, 9:27 pm Troops from The PIT (2:10) assaulted Larc en ciel (2:4) and conquered 197 land.

I have been robbing like crazy too!

Money Stolen 50,134,791

Yeah! I need a lot of catching up to do since that last time I look I was rank no. 35.

Warmongoer? Networth Lover?

There is an ongoing debate now in Galaxies Ablaze. It is about whether it is alright to war and target players for no reason in the name of fun? Is it alright to be a NETWORTH lover?

In The thread “Wow, Bunch Of Hypocrites” in the public forum, Ms. TwylahSkye made a convincing argument and I agree and support her on this. She argued that syndicate are driving people away by targeting them for no reason therefore effectively killing Galaxies Ablaze. She pointed out that GAX (a game akin to Galaxies Ablaze) was closed because it has few players because its game style of warring for fun does not appeal to everyone. If SWB and his friends continued to do to Galaxies Ablaze what they do in GAX, Galaxies Ablaze would follow GAX to the grave.

She made some good suggestion on for people who likes to war without getting people that doesn’t like to go to war involve. But it still needs some polishing.

Then again, I like Galaxies Ablaze with no rule on how you wish to govern your planet. If syndicate became a bully and have acted dishonorably in everyone’s eyes, then they should do something about it instead of complaining about it. But what can you do if they are just too strong? It reminds me of the dark age in Fantasian kingdoms where bullies rule with an iron fist (regardless of our appeal to change their style), before me, homer, carnage, and sarge ended their reign of terror last round (round 6).

Here in Galaxies Ablaze where there is a larger number of player base, it would take more then four players to stand up to the one of the most active and strongest alliance in the game. I guess it is appropriate to ask other first before forming your own group and kill them all. Hee hee!

Whatever’s in store for Galaxies Ablaze, will it dwindle and die? Or recover and grow, only time can tell, but for now I’m playing and ENJOYING the game. I participate and support my system and alliance activity whether in war or peace time.

When we are still in punks alliance, I voted to make a huge planet in 1:4 a damage target, and even offered to attack and launch missiles first. But the leadership decided to wait. Too late! Most of the powerhouse in 1:4 was killed by the people in syndicate.

Later, in Phyrxia, a kill target was posted. Just as I was to launch my missile and sabotage the target, Volvoland recommended to hold off the attack and gather on a appointed time and attack simultaneously. Too bad I listened, :( because by the time I login again, the target is not a target anymore. Phooey!

The next time I logged in, a new target was posted and I immediately sabotage and launch my missile on the target without hesitation.

Oct 9, 1:30 pm A Revenger missile launched from The PIT (2:10) hit Concrete Sam (2:3) and destroyed 100 land, killed no population, and there were no military casualties.

Happy as pig in a mud, I jovially log out of my account and went to bed. The next day, I was shock to find that we have joined the sister alliance of the planet I attack. 0.o It seems our SL (system leader) decided to leave our former alliance and joined the NastyDice Alliance, sister alliance of Syndicate.

^_^ Well, that’s life. Your enemies today are your friends tomorrow and vice versa.

I’m building another revenger missile to replace the one I used before and I’m also currently researching missiles, so I can make more missile type then just revenger. I have also a good op ratio, although I have little ops mission because I have use most of it robbing banks. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough offense unit to make some damage because I’m building mostly defense units

Suddenly Galaxies Ablaze seems a more dangerous world. (“,)

Update: I just raided and missile Miss September as part of my alliance target. She was former teammates.

Oct 10, 7:34 pm Troops from The PIT (2:10) raided Miss September (2:1) and secured 71 land.

Oct 11, 1:06 am A Revenger missile launched from The PIT (2:10) hit Miss September (2:1) and destroyed 100 land, killed no population, and there were no military casualties.

Can’t Attack

I can’t attack again. Everyone within my range is too strong. Even the ones I caught sending their military out were never open enough for me to assault. That leaves suicides, and I have yet to see one in my range do that.

The only good thing to report is that I rose up the ranks again.

46 The PIT (2:10) 776,985

Some people don’t care about their NW. I always do, no matter what rank I am. It is something to keep me on my toe. It’s no fun just to launch missile, or raid other planets in a war. Any simple minded simpleton can do that.

Neither is it fun to care too much for you net worth. You will miss out most of the fun in the game.

That is why I always try to balance the two. It makes the game more exciting. Instead of being uncaring on her networth, who would just launch a missile and boringly wait for a counter (this is also true for raids), I would double think on launching a missile in fear of being retaliated and sweat while I wait for retaliation. It’s more fun to engage in a war if you have something valuable that you could lose.

But as I have said, neither is it good to be a NW fanatic. Because if you are, then you should just take up math and grab a pencil and paper and start calculating.

So, it has always been my policy to be the strongest and largest planet in Galaxies Ablaze, without neglecting my duty to my system and alliance and causing some ruckus now and again.

Hee hee! Just something to think about. ~~
