Anyone else think that 10gpt is a surprisingly cheap buyoff?

+1 Jowy can be happy about that price. At the same time I think people try this extortion tactics not often enough.

I only see two Roman galleys in Jowy's screenshot. I'd send back a DOW and whip some triremes to go with the axes.

Glad to see another Bester fan out there.

I must confess I haven't read Bester.

I was actually (mis)quoting myself from a few years back. :D

The Bester version is "Millions for defense, but not one cent for survival." from The Stars My Destination. Very good read.

I stole it from Babylon 5 (John Sheriden specifically, though his version didn't have the profanity). Given that I associate the name "Alfred Bester" with a certain notorious Psi Cop, I think it's a fair bet that JMS was a fan. smile

Poor civic thinks that the recent lurker thread activity has anything at all to do with the game state lol

Things do look to be heating up a bit as the empty land gets filled up, I wish GKC reported more so we could see how many units are actually in his build queues.
