39%.

what that mean.

[NobleHelium]

I would guess the amount of defense remaining on Helios.

[darrelljs]

. I am taking out 13% per turn so we attack on t163.

Darrell

[darrelljs]

Not much to report. 26%. Built a few Vampires. Drafted a Vampires. Uberfish got another goodie (the Baron this time).

Darrell

[darrelljs]

13%...we'll stage next turn when Chalid shows up.

So uberfish shows up with a Metamagic II Mage (exepcted), but it motivated me to do some math on just how long a tower victory would take him. I came up with ~t205, so I dialed him up on the subject. He believed (and I believe him) that he could cash rush it on t200 but that it would violate our deal. I said that while the spirit of the deal was to give me a shot at a military solution to the game, the wording of the deal in no way prohibited him from saving cash and rusing it all in one turn. Good 'ol uberfish decided to go with the spirit and give me a shot. This lead to:

0. Gratitude that's he's such a righteous dude.
1. Guilt over my exploration of an Impersonate Leader solution.
2. Shame over the realization that if uberfish had been in pbem17 instead of me, the Momenmt of Infamy would never have occurred.
3. Consternation that I still needed to come up with a replacement Brilliant Plan (see below).
4. Resignation that I'm probably going to lose in a more spectacular fashion than a cash rushed Tower of Mastery on t200 .

The original Brilliant Plan I came up with had not just one, but TWO major flaws making it unworkable. THe really sad part is I forgot one of the major flaws already, although I'm quite sure when I woke up with the epiphany that there were two . So, its back to the drawing board.

P.S. It really was a brilliant plan, for something doomed to fail.

[NobleHelium]

You could share said brilliant plan with us, maybe?

[darrelljs]

Yeah, I will...the screenshot I made for it is at work so it will need to be Monday. Uh...not that I was doing civ stuff at work .

[darrelljs]

Wrapped due to size.

Do the signs on the wraith stacks read 178 and 185?
