 January 18, 2014 - 8:57pm | TerlObar and I have been recycled by this fellow at (1022,1393) and (1030, 1389). My stations (RS and SY) are now way down at (631,2421). I have started my RS back to a star I hold just south of (1022,1393) and my SY to a star just to the north west. What do we want to do with this guy? I have 800 juggernaughts with a +55 commander near by to retaliate. I can send some others up as well with a +70 commander. -iggy |
 January 21, 2014 - 4:33pm | Well he's down to 90,000 PL and only one set of turrets on the property so I think he's blowing through stocks of ships. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
January 21, 2014 - 6:11pm | I think he watches constantly. We should hit him while he is asleep. Plan a midnight raid. -iggy |
January 21, 2014 - 7:16pm | I just sent in 500 collosi and lost them to 499 out of 820. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
January 21, 2014 - 7:44pm | Alright SY on station at 1093, 1392 with 90 turrets and a 70% commander its a 7 hour 20 flight time to his SY that is the flight time for purely collossi I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 January 21, 2014 - 8:23pm | My SY is at 1052,1419 and I have about a 2h11m flight time for a pure colossus fleet. I also have 20,000 turrets guarding it. I've got 340 col at the moment and generate them at the rate of 1 every 62 seconds. I'll be ready to launch another fleet tomorrow morning and a second one in the evening. I suggest we go for a coordinated attack tomorrow night or Thrusday morning. And his PL is back to 95,000 at the moment. I think he must be burning platinum. I don't see any other way to jump 5000 PL in 4-5 hours. Also, he's been active on global chat in the evenings the last few days and was talking about watching the 49's/Seahawks game sunday night so he is here in the US. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

January 21, 2014 - 9:03pm | I have 114 collosi and generate them every 58 sec. I can see I need to start maxing out my energy production, seriously 20,000 turrets? Eric and I talked what if you parked turrets set to defend right around Sorin's SY? They will defend our fleets that are attacking when his fleets defend the SY. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
January 21, 2014 - 10:22pm | I think that we are going to need 6 to 8 800 ship+ fleets to wear him down and get his SY. My SY is at 1023,1410. I am dumping turrets to defend it and look passified. My RS will be there too. I will have my two juggernaught fleets back online at 5:40pm MST tomorrow. I will deploy partial fleets to various locations incase he decided to recycle my SY again. I vote we hit him in the early AM EST to catch him off guard. Jedion, when do you get up? We could pick a time that was late for us and early for you. Or with long enough flight times we could set the attack and go to bed and Terl and I could just stay up a little. I googled sorin markov and it is a character name from magic the gathering. Our guy must be a fan. -iggy |
January 22, 2014 - 5:28am | At 12 pm EST I'll have built a 920 collosal fleet. Around 1 AM EST I should have a 860 fleet as well. I can stay up till 1am and throw 2 fleets burning platnum to get them ther then or start them moving at 1am and they will hit at 8am tomarrow. you guys make the call. I suppose I could move the SY to shorten flight time but I like its position as it looks like I'm just protecting an ally. He's a gamer and a fan of Magic the Gathering so odds are that he's an English speaker and odds further are that he lives in America and is glued to the computer monitor. Plus he's back up to 99K PL so he's rebuilding like us. It seems to me since there has been no other punitive strikes or communication by him nor his alliance that this is a well thought out strategy. He banks tons of ships and takes a property then plays this game till the former tennet gives up. He doesn't involve the allaince so he doesn't have to explain himself. If we manage to push him off the property he can then involve the alliance complaining that we stole his property. I dunno it seems odd. If he were truly belligerant he would have recycled everything within scan distance that belonged to us, he certainly has the assets to do so. Also we should consider the fact that Sorin Markov is an alt, that he plays under his real name as someone else. He's glued to the computer so why not play 2 . Though if that was the case I think we'd see the alt's ships and turrets defend as well. EDIT: scratch that I found Tom's SY and moved near it to shorten flight time. the new flight time is 4hours 20 minutes. so if I started the fleets at 1 am they'd be there at 5:20 EST 40 minutes before my alarm clock. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
January 22, 2014 - 9:37am | He now has a third station there. He put a RS on the star I had a scout on. BTW, thousands os turrets are going to get pasted without a commander to give them an attack bonus. If Terl deploys turrets they should be under commanders and sized for each commander. -iggy |
January 22, 2014 - 11:20am | so when do we attack? are we kicking him out of all 3 stars? I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
January 22, 2014 - 11:45am | I'd say kick him out of the two originals and let him keep the third one that he occupied after the fact. I can break up my big turret fleet into a bunch of small ones if we want, but can't put them all under commanders. I have 3 commaders at +70%/860 ships, 1 @ +55%/800 ships and 10 @ +45%/640 ships. I could gather them all up and launch a bunch of turret fleets with commanders totaling just over 8000 turrets (I'd reserve 2 of my top commanders for my two attack fleets. Flight time from my SY to the target is 7 hours for turrets. If we're up for a hit tonight, I'd say we hit him at 10pm Mountain. I'd launch a wave of turrets at T-7 hours so that they are arriving on scene about the time the fighter fleets arrive. Everyone else launches their fleet(s) at the appropriate time to arrive at the same time (i.e. 7:40 Eastern for jedi, 7:50 mountain for me, etc). I will have two 860 coll fleets at that point. If we want to wait until tomorrow to make the hit (so we have more ships) then I say we schedule for midday or tomorrow evening but otherwise the same plan. The more ship fleets we send the fewer turret fleets I can put commanders on but that's not a big deal. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

January 22, 2014 - 1:13pm | alright I have a 920 fleet of collosi that I'll start at 7:40 Eastern for a 12 midnight EST attack. Actually I'll start a second fleet with 560 at the same time and organize whats been built into a 3rd fleet just before the attack and bring it in on platnum if need be. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
January 22, 2014 - 2:22pm | Okay, I'll gather up all my commanders from their outlying posts and start a wave a turrets in-bound. Ad Astra Per Ardua! My blog - Expanding Frontier Webmaster - The Star Frontiers Network & this site Founding Editor - The Frontier Explorer Magazine Managing Editor - The Star Frontiersman Magazine |
January 22, 2014 - 3:31pm | Alright, turret wave (12 fleets: 1@860, 1@800, and 10@640 all with commanders) is enroute from where Tom V and I had our ship yards parked. Arrival time on to turret station location is between 9:34 and 10:02 mountain time based on where the turrets started from. I wasn't going to try to coordinate it any closer than that. I think planning to hit about 9:45 is probably best. I've sent my exisiting fleet north and my SY west to that when I launch my fleet attacks they will be coming from a different vector than where the turrets are coming from. Plus it gets my SY out of the return vector direction. He can probably still find it easily enough but at least he'll have to look for a minute or two. Ad Astra Per Ardua! My blog - Expanding Frontier Webmaster - The Star Frontiers Network & this site Founding Editor - The Frontier Explorer Magazine Managing Editor - The Star Frontiersman Magazine |
January 22, 2014 - 5:08pm | alright I'll be there with what I have I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
January 23, 2014 - 8:34am | I'm moving my RS and SY to the gamma crew at (1878,1828) that I was offering to any takers. I ran my crew stock to around 50,000 in the attacks which is the second or third time I have had it drop so low. I think I turned too many of my crew RS into energy RS so I am going to use this one. -iggy |
January 23, 2014 - 9:04pm | Here is the chat thread from last night eventfull battle: hi guys I see the attack time is 9:45 I'll be there Thomas • Wed, 5:10 PM Thomas Verreault it cost 60 plat to get the SY to erics RS on the golf ball so I'm on station with a flight time of minutes 9:45 is that mountain or eastern? Thomas • Wed, 5:17 PM Tom Stephens mountain Tom • Wed, 5:22 PM Thomas Verreault so 12:45 my time Thomas • Wed, 5:22 PM Tom Stephens 11:45 We're only 2 hours behind you. Tom • Wed, 5:22 PM Thomas Verreault ok be there with bells on Thomas • Wed, 5:23 PM Off to youth activities. I'll have my PC running and waiting. I should be back at the keyboard at about 8:30pm. Wed, 5:26 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens Okay. Tom • Wed, 5:27 PM Thomas Verreault see you both at the main event. Thomas • Wed, 5:28 PM Thomas Verreault T minus 4 minutes and counting Thomas • Wed, 7:41 PM HOw long is your flight? Wed, 7:42 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault 2 hours Thomas • Wed, 7:42 PM From next to me? Wed, 7:42 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault gonna wait for 8 more fighters to build and second fleet will go with 610 yep Thomas • Wed, 7:43 PM Thomas Verreault 1hr 55 min and 1hr and 58min fleets launched Thomas • Wed, 7:49 PM Thomas Verreault I'm going to try to watch the attack in real time and if I see his fleets getting chewed up I'll push the button for the rapid finish on movement and get my fighters to his SY before he can redeploy or hopefully one of you can do the same if my attack chews up his fighters. He's got 4 fleets in play Thomas • Wed, 7:52 PM Tom Stephens First fleet launched. Flight time, 1h 24m. Next fleet takes off in 10 minutes. I'll be watching real time as well. Tom • Wed, 8:15 PM Tom Stephens And he's on-line in global chat. He should start seeing my turrets soon. Tom • Wed, 8:18 PM Thomas Verreault hhhhhhhmmmm I think we should not let him see the fleets flying in but rather use a platnum fueled rushed movement to get them in at the same time. Thomas • Wed, 8:19 PM This is a lot of platinum for all the turrets. Wed, 8:21 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault not the turrets the fleets Thomas • Wed, 8:21 PM I gould buy a bunch of colossi with platinum. Wed, 8:21 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault turrets aren't attacking but he's welcome to attack them but their presence and his in chat means he'll know something is afoot. 29 plat for my fleets to finish movement Thomas • Wed, 8:23 PM This needs all our fleets to hit together. Terl, what would yours cost to get there? Also the turrets will not help if we pull the trigger too soon. Terl, let us know when the turrets defensive area covers his fleets. Wed, 8:25 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens 29 for the fleet already in motion. 28-34 for each of the turrets and I'm about to launch the second fleet. Just a second. Tom • Wed, 8:25 PM Thomas Verreault Once the turrets are in place we can agree to rush the fleets or just let the plan ride. I would just hate to see him take steps to undo what we've planned Thomas • Wed, 8:25 PM I'm still 34 minutes before my first launch. Wed, 8:26 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens 26 plat for the second fleet. TOT is 1h 11m and 1h14m for the two fleets with the first launched arriving first. Tom • Wed, 8:27 PM Thomas Verreault wow just saw the turrets!!!! I hope he craps his pants Thomas • Wed, 8:27 PM Tom Stephens I think the lower station and fleet will be inside the defend area of the leading turret in about 10-15 minutes, if that. It's one of my "small" ones - only 640 turrets with a +45 commander. It's probably a good 45 minutes before the main body defensive area covers his SY and fleets Tom • Wed, 8:29 PM Thomas Verreault do you want to rush in 11:15 EST? Thomas • Wed, 8:31 PM Tom Stephens They are aimed for a point just below that interloping sy that is passing through and have about 1h 15m to go to get there. Tom • Wed, 8:31 PM Patience. Wed, 8:31 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault ok just go with the plan then Thomas • Wed, 8:31 PM He has made no moves Or said anything in chat. Wed, 8:31 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens Yeah, I'm waiting to see if he makes a comment in chat. okay, going to put kids to bed. Tom • Wed, 8:32 PM I bought a fleet of 820 rebel collossus to be sure. I launch it at 8:52. Wed, 8:32 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault how much did that cost? Thomas • Wed, 8:33 PM One of his fleets disappeared. 800 He is prepairing for us. Wed, 8:34 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault its back he's making adjustments Thomas • Wed, 8:34 PM He redeployed it as another fleet Wed, 8:34 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault He attacked that sy passing thru Thomas • Wed, 8:34 PM He is scared and not reading. Patience he may not have seen us. He made an odd comment in chat. Wed, 8:35 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault his screen is on this loction not his other properties Thomas • Wed, 8:36 PM I think he took the attack of opportunity. Small window? Wed, 8:36 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens one can hope. Tom • Wed, 8:37 PM Thomas Verreault I think its watching this site not his other properties but if we hit them its an escelation Thomas • Wed, 8:37 PM He pulled the fleet back. Good thing is he wasted ships on another person. Wed, 8:37 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens a scan centered on his sy shows one RS and one fleet of eric's at the moment. That's all. Tom • Wed, 8:37 PM Thomas Verreault I've been watching what pops on the scan had been tempted to shorten flight time but settled for "guarding" erics RS Thomas • Wed, 8:39 PM Thomas Verreault my fleets are looking to arrive with the turrets Thomas • Wed, 8:45 PM good Wed, 8:45 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens mine are as well. From two different directions different from the turrets. speaking of which I need to go move my SY. Tom • Wed, 8:48 PM Thomas Verreault so its looking like he has 3 fleets guarding and that 4th fleet looks to have been used to hit a target of opportunity- perhaps he has something going on with the other guy he hit 4th fleet is gone now Thomas • Wed, 8:49 PM I think he just hit a target of opportunity with the fourth fleet and reabsorbed it into another fleet. Wed, 8:50 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens Yes. better and better. The lower RS is inside the defensive perimeter of a couple of my turrets now. Probably another 20-30 minutes before the SY is. Tom • Wed, 8:51 PM rebel colossi deployed. 1h7m to hit. Wed, 8:52 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault I just set my 920 fleet to not defend but left my smaller one to defend so that it will shoot at what shoots at the big one 50 & 53 minutes to hit Thomas • Wed, 8:53 PM Should we turn fleets off defend while the turrets do the deffending? Wed, 8:53 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens yes Tom • Wed, 8:54 PM Thomas Verreault I just dont wnat my big fleet to hit anything else besides the SY Thomas • Wed, 8:54 PM Tom Stephens 44&47 for me. Looks like i"ll go in first. Tom • Wed, 8:54 PM Thomas Verreault he just recalled and redeployed fleets he must see something Thomas • Wed, 8:55 PM Just launched my second fleet, 49m. Wed, 8:56 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault he's got 5 fleets out now Thomas • Wed, 8:57 PM One fleet is attacking. I think the turrets Wed, 8:58 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault he hit my fleets and your turrets go now before he depoloys more Tora! Tora! Tora! Thomas • Wed, 8:59 PM I burned him with platinum. Wed, 8:59 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault ther we go now to mop up the RS Thomas • Wed, 8:59 PM Thomas Verreault Tom you got fleets left? I blew the 75 I just built on his lower left RS Thomas • Wed, 9:03 PM I am sending my rebels to take my theta back. Wed, 9:03 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault He used crusaders and juggernauts, possibly purchased ships Thomas • Wed, 9:03 PM I think we let him keep the ordinary star as a consolation prize. Wed, 9:04 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault Unless he proves a brat about it I dont think it over but once the mop up is down we'll see Thomas • Wed, 9:05 PM We should turn this place into a fortress. Wed, 9:05 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault He blows a lot of platnum to move stuff around Thomas • Wed, 9:06 PM Tom Stephens He went for the bait and went after all my turrets. I have a total of 12 battle reports. and lost 6 of my 12 turret fleets, 5 of the 640 fleets and the 800 one. Once my remaining turrets get into position, I'll spread them out a bit. Tom • Wed, 9:06 PM I'll have two jugger fleets on station here. Wed, 9:07 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens 11 minutes until I remove his station from my star. Tom • Wed, 9:07 PM I'll be building nothing but collossi from now on. Wed, 9:08 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault I'm brining my SY and turrets in Thomas • Wed, 9:08 PM And I'll by upgrading their defend from 25 to 30. 2m to my thetha reclimation. Wed, 9:09 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault researching collosus defense lvl 27 now and attack is at 30, need to address power needs so I can field 20,000 turrets as well Thomas • Wed, 9:10 PM He is back Wed, 9:10 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault and likely to Thomas • Wed, 9:10 PM I jumped him again. Wed, 9:12 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault someone likes burning platnum back hes back RS station tech is 28/27 he's got deep pockets, I'm halting my SY to keep it off his scan, Thomas • Wed, 9:17 PM Tom Stephens One of his fleets that just hit mine has a +70% commander and 1300 ships. He's really built up at least one of his commanders. Tom • Wed, 9:18 PM Thomas Verreault looking like he's going to prevail here tonight at least Thomas • Wed, 9:18 PM I'm burning platinum to do this. Free stuff collected from Tim but I'm down about 1000. Wed, 9:18 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens And his last one only lost 88 ships so one of his fleets has 1212 colosus. Tom • Wed, 9:19 PM I think if we try this again we try in a week and in the early AM. Wed, 9:20 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault his PL level dropped to 92 Thomas • Wed, 9:20 PM Tom Stephens My fleets are gone. except for 2 turret fleets. I'm going to pull them out and save for later. I think we're done here tonight. It was fun but no good. Tom • Wed, 9:20 PM I'm out too. Wed, 9:21 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault I got hit by that 1300 +70% and it wiped out my 920 fleet then he refilled the fleet and hit you I need to restructure in game so I can compete at this level Thomas • Wed, 9:22 PM I bet he takes out my two RS left in the area. Wed, 9:23 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault the fleet commanders we saw before were the ones he's building up but he finally got serious and brought out his big guns with the 1300 one Thomas • Wed, 9:24 PM I could see if our Sith friend wants the area and let them fight for it. How important is the star to you Terl? Wed, 9:24 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault We need some 1300 fleet commanders Thomas • Wed, 9:26 PM King of the Hill? :) Wed, 9:26 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens We'll I'd like to keep it as it was one of my bigger stars but I'm not adverse to abandoning it. Tom • Wed, 9:27 PM Thomas Verreault Well this was worth EXP Thomas • Wed, 9:27 PM One problem with this game is that a fight just makes both sides stronger. Wed, 9:28 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault I think we'd need to put down the VISA gold card and spend money like this guy does to beat him out of this property. Even if he was asleep and we hit him I think he'd just come back in a day Thomas • Wed, 9:29 PM I wish turrets would defend an area by stopping non attacking ships from passing through. I'd also like to be able to set fleets to patrol. Wed, 9:29 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault you guys call it. we should consider what happens when he decides to expand to other stars we own if we cant beat him here and he decides to teach us a lesson. 1. bump research % to 75 2. max out collosus and SY tech 3. increase energy collection Thomas • Wed, 9:32 PM I don't need the theta. I picked up another just before the fight. I'll need another after he kills my nearby theta. I'll also have to find another omega moon after he kills that. I have 1 and 3 done. Wed, 9:32 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault 4. max out a fleet commander Thomas • Wed, 9:33 PM That can be done simultaneous with the others by king of the hill. Wed, 9:34 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault I was content with 800k on my silos but i think that needs to be deepened so that I have a deeper energy reserve Thomas • Wed, 9:35 PM Tom Stephens Oh well, he took out my remaining turrets as well. I can give you an omega ore if you can't find another one as I don't really need it. I'm about 1 month away from maxing out my col tech. I probably should increase my SY levels so my build time is a bit faster but I'm definitely in the regime of diminishing returns. Tom • Wed, 9:37 PM Tom V you said that your build time for ships was 58 seconds correct? Wed, 9:37 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens I was really trying to push my total turret count high to see how high I could get on the leader board. Losing that star loses me about 1200 off my top PL. I had gotten to #5 and was about 30,000 behind the leader but with lots of room still to grow (although I think he was as well). That may be where I top out. Tom • Wed, 9:39 PM I'm at 1 minute and the numbers to the right of it are 195/195. Wed, 9:39 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault 58sec and 263/263 Thomas • Wed, 9:39 PM Tom Stephens I'm at a minute and 2 seconds and I'm at 172/172. Tom • Wed, 9:39 PM I seem to remember Tim saying 58 seconds was max or was it 57? Wed, 9:40 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens Yeah, definitely diminishing returns. How many SY do you guys have? I've only got 11. Tom • Wed, 9:40 PM Thomas Verreault 23 23 with no value lower than 11 I was trying to have one SY per RS Thomas • Wed, 9:41 PM Tom Stephens I lost about 18,000 pl in that fight from losing all my turrets. Tom • Wed, 9:41 PM 13, one for each major property. I'm a farmer, 42 RS. Wed, 9:42 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault 24 RS and 23 SY Thomas • Wed, 9:42 PM Tom Stephens I have 39 Resource, 8 research, and 5 silos. plus my trading and factory so a total of 65 stations. Tom • Wed, 9:43 PM I have mostly Stars for my RS, I minimize my other RS types. Wed, 9:44 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens So do we build up and try one more time in a few days to a week? or just let it go and try again much later? or just walk away. I'm in favor of the second option. Ditto on the resource stations. Tom • Wed, 9:44 PM Thomas Verreault I'm in favor of walking away and getting on with the restructuring I need to do Thomas • Wed, 9:45 PM Tom Stephens I have 2 credit stations, 4 ore stations and no crew. The only reason I still have that many ore is that I haven't boosted my tech that gives me ore that much yet. Something I was planning on doing soon so I could move those stations to stars an boost my PL some more. Tom • Wed, 9:46 PM He's not following me. Wed, 9:46 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens I think he's content to just sit on those stars and defend them and take the bonus resources. Tom • Wed, 9:48 PM I'm sure he will return if we take them back. Wed, 9:48 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault I'm setting all my silos, research and trading stations moving at the moment. I keep them switching locations between RS stations Thomas • Wed, 9:48 PM Tom Stephens Okay, we'll walk away for now and maybe come back later. I have a big job interview next Thursday and Friday that I'll be prepping for all week so I'd have to wait at least until next month to really do anything anyway. This was my last really free night. Tom • Wed, 9:49 PM Job interview? Wed, 9:50 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens If the interview goes well I'll have a tenure track faculty position here at BYU in a month or so. Tom • Wed, 9:50 PM No more NASA work? Wed, 9:51 PM Eric Winsor Thomas Verreault Great Thomas • Wed, 9:51 PM Tom Stephens I'm interviewing for the Physical and Mathematical Sciences Research Librarian at the Campus library. Part librarian, part research, part helping others solve problems with their research. Nope, no more direct NASA. I'll still be doing astronomy but on my own. Well, with my wife. Tom • Wed, 9:52 PM Are you talking with Quinn Galbraith? Wed, 9:52 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens I will have to go back to school to get a Masters of Library Science degree so I may not have a lot of free time for the next few years if I get the job. That's not a name explicitly called out on my agenda but he could be on one of the committees I'm meeting with if he works at the library. What does he do? Tom • Wed, 9:53 PM He's my Brother In Law and he is an HR manager for the library at BYU. Not sure if it's all libraries or just one. Wed, 9:55 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens Well if you talk to him between now and Thursday you can put in a good word for me. ?? Although I don't know how much he'd be involved with this if at all. Tom • Wed, 9:57 PM Thomas Verreault getting late for me so night Thomas • Wed, 9:58 PM Thomas Verreault He may just process your paperwork after the hiring. Wed, 9:58 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens Tom V. I like your Athor militia ranks. Good night. Tom • Wed, 9:58 PM Good Night Tom. Wed, 9:58 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens That's most likely the case (about the paper work) Tom • Wed, 9:58 PM I think that if we give this guy some time he will drop his guard. Maybe several weeks. At least we made him pay for this. Wed, 9:59 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens I'm meeting with Elder Christoffel Golden up at Church headquarters on Friday. I'm one of two finalists for the position so I get the General Authority interview as well. Tom • Wed, 9:59 PM Sorry for the loss of the gamma star. Wed, 10:00 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens I agree. I figured we might try back in a month or so and see how much he still cares. Tom • Wed, 10:00 PM Wow, that would be intimidating for me. Wed, 10:00 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens It's really no big deal. I was really just trying to see how high I could get on the leader board. And then they added the collection maximizer tech and that race just went all crazy. Tom • Wed, 10:01 PM Maybe we should send the message about a well fought fight to let him know that we had to try. Wed, 10:01 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens It's a bit intimidating for me as well. My wife had to do it 7 years ago when she applied as well. I don't remember who she interviewed with. That's probably a good idea on the note. Maybe I'll send him one in the morning. The one General Authority I kind of know is an apostle now so he doesn't do these interview. Elder Holland was the area president when I was on my mission and having been an office secretary for 7 months of my mission I got to interact with him several times. But that is as close as I know any of the GA's and that was 20+ years ago. Maybe I'll send Sorin a note that says something to the effect of "Enjoy the properties. You obviously want them more than we do the way you were burning platinum. That was a fun fight. Maybe we'll come play again another time." Tom • Wed, 10:06 PM Here is what I sent: Subject: Well Fought Sorin, We had to try to retake such a high value property. The contest was exciting. Enjoy the energy. I'll move to a theta star elsewhere. Eric Wed, 10:08 PM Eric Winsor Good luck with the interview. Wed, 10:21 PM Eric Winsor Tom Stephens Thanks. Good note. I'd probably be a little more snarky. We'll leave it with yours. Tom • Wed, 10:22 PM -iggy |
January 23, 2014 - 9:06pm | Here is Sorin's reply to my message last night: From: Sorin MarkovSubject: re: Well Fought. i was fighting off another alliance at a different star at the same exact time. once i finished them off i brought in several of my high ranked commanders i was using on them. I replied asking if he was using platinum to move quickly. -iggy |
January 27, 2014 - 10:22pm | We may not be done with Sorin. I just recieved the following message: 1/27 21:27 From: Jason MillerSubject: hiI replied: 1/27 22:16 To: Jason MillerSubject: re: hiThanks for the heads up. We just had a massive fight with him last week. He jumped our gamma star at (1030, 1389 ) and my theta star at ( 1023, 1393 ). We attempted a coordinated attack and knocked him off but he burred a ton of platinum and put his SY and another back within seconds deploying full fleets. We decided that continuing the fight would just make him stronger so we relocated to regroup. There is no love here. We are not an aggressive alliance, but will defend ourselves to the best of our ability. This is disappointing to see that he is picking on us after we conceded the stars. I will post your warning to our alliance board and this reply. Regards, Eric I don't know if I want to fight a private war with this guy. We have never made any alliances with any other alliances. Maybe it is time we do. -iggy |

John Bishop1 (21:29): how goes it tonite Jason Miller (21:24): hey John John Bishop1 (21:20): howdy all Jason Miller (21:15): no, Sorin said himself he doesn't understand sarcasim, so he isn't capable of being a smartass. JamesLori Roberts (21:13): he probley didnt mean to he was just trying to be a smart a@@ lol and picked a random # Rex Hunter (21:11): sorin thinks he better then the law .. he Xeelee now lol Jason Miller (21:09): why are you posting Eric Winsors coords in GC Sorin?

January 28, 2014 - 2:48am | What a turd, hopefully the KOS status will occupy him. I guess I'll have to pay more attention to gobal chat. as to greater alliances I dunno know, I would not want to get into bed with aggressive alliances as that would compound the issue. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
January 28, 2014 - 3:05am | Speak of the devil: X John Bishop1 (2:03): yr missing a few brain cells buddy X Jason Miller (2:20): lol, yes he is, thats why RSE and most of the game has him on KOS X Sorin Markov (2:21): :)~ X Sorin Markov (2:23): RSE has lifted the kox X Jason Miller (2:24): no, no we haven't X Sorin Markov (2:24): i meac kos X Jason Miller (2:24): you most certanly still are on KOS X Jason Miller (2:25): I don't know where you heard that we lifted it, but your information is wrong X Nabu TheWise (2:29): All of IGR are at peace with Xeelee... X Jason Miller (2:29): yes we are allies with Xeelee but Sorin is KOS, X Nabu TheWise (2:30): I'd check with KAP and update your docs then... X Jason Miller (2:30): checked with Kap, Sorin is still KOS X Nabu TheWise (2:34): Yep...Sorin still there. Oh well... X Sorin Markov (2:37): got the confession from Brady and got YOUR KOS lifted X Sorin Markov (2:37): so there X Sorin Markov (2:38): brady is now on our kos X Jason Miller (2:38): um no, Kap said he will not go against the wishes on any officer on this, as long as one officer wants you on kos you will remain on KOS, I'm an officer I want you to remain on KOS you will remain on KOS X Sorin Markov (2:40): talk to the hand X Jason Miller (2:40): lol I talk with fleets. X Sorin Markov (2:48): objection! hearsay X Gregg Ashcraft (2:49): :) X Nick Glahn (3:32): . X Steve Alston (3:37): . X Jason Miller (3:48): . Charles Wright (4:51): BLAH, BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAGH,BLAH,BLAH,BLAH, BLAHLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa So, perhaps we conceded to early? should have talked with the leadership of Xeelee? If he's KOS with some many it might be possible to get the property back. I'm starting to think that when one of these guys jumps and takes our property it could be a possibility that they are in something bigger and have taken power supplies to keep their fleets running and just decided to be a pirate about it. Still we didn't need active operations ongoing when Tom is prepping for an interview. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
January 28, 2014 - 7:11am | We I always intended to hit him again later and get my star back. I've suspended hostilities, not dropped them. Since he seems to be in bad graces elsewhere as well, that may be a good thing. But yes right now I don't really have time to focus on it. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

January 28, 2014 - 8:08am | I think there is a future fight with us and Sorin. Hopefully it is for the gamma star first and not some other property. I want to get my a/d for juggernauts up to 30 first. -iggy |
January 28, 2014 - 9:24am | Perhaps we should post a scout in the area of these properties and be ready to press our claim should someone do us the favor of removing him? I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
January 28, 2014 - 10:02am | Good idea. I just started a little group of 6 turrets wanding down that a way (they'll get there in about 9 hours). Just something to mark the spot. And see if he nibbles on it. It's headed to a point NE of the Gama star he took from me past the moon that someone else is on. One of his fellow Xeelee members (Jason Ford1, probably an alt) has a shipyard there as well now. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

January 28, 2014 - 3:02pm | My two RS are still there. Then there is the theta at (1234,1234) that he published that may be a good location for me to put a SY. -iggy |
January 28, 2014 - 5:25pm | My two RS are still there. Then there is the theta at (1234,1234) that he published that may be a good location for me to put a SY. I'm pulling a SY from a ore planet to this location and will deploy 100 turret. They wont stop anything just be a bluff that might prevent someone from jumping on it.

January 29, 2014 - 8:28am | Sorin lost the stars. There is a Curtis Price of Alpha Centauri alliance with fleets on them right now. He has a SY next to my moon just bellow the theta star. The SY of John Ford1 from Xeelee is parked between the two stars. Should we open negotiations with Curtis and the Alpha Centauri? If he conquered them out right he has a strong claim to them. -iggy |

I think asking for them will come off as whining. Send him a note and tell him your happy he took it because it galled you to let Sorin keep it.
