Two kids has proven a lot more work than one and that combined with the presence of Federal bank regulators at my job for a week basically took me out of the virtual world for a good chunk of time.

Good news, major fleet battle is over as of this morning when I could finally finish it.

Sorry about the weeks delay, the wifi at the hospital sucked and dropped everything I did. Then I had a newborn (good) and inlaws (bad) in town for the weekend as they attempted to "help" us by cooking lots of crappy farm food and dirtying all my dishes every single day. Anyway, next round...

Wife and baby are resting well...all 8'14'' of him. Will be around for things the rest of the week, should have plenty of free time until we head home Friday.

After a few Dr. visits my wife is scheduled for a c-section tomorrow at 7:30 am. That being said the combat is now progressing and should be resolved this week. The hospital has internet and honestly there is not all that much for me to do there anyway. Hopefully we are done with the majority of com...

Sorry to hear that.

An update

The year is almost run out. Sorry for the paucity of updates here but wife is very pregnant and I don't have a lot of time at night right now.

We have a major battle yet to fight and then things should just play out. Will let you all know. Just want to make sure we get this one right.

I just wanted to add a thanks for running it for Staplic. Even if there were disagreements these things are very difficult to run and I know from experience at times you get trapped by decisions you made long before and trying to be fair. It is not easy and for what it is worth I had a great deal of...

And I am actually disappointed Big and I never got the chance to go to war

I was about to publish my plans for dealing with you just for kicks.

Remember, I came into it in turn 33 or something; I saw the political deck was stacked towards the Federation, so I played to form an alliance with Mark that could actually be more than a political pawn for another power. :wink: Yeah, OOC I know why it happened and it was interesting to game out. I...

From my perspective the following were big events that changed the course of the sim 1. A Federation/Klingon Fleet getting in the way of the Cardassian attack on the Ferengi. This happened due to a mix of things. The Ferengi were goaded into a neutrality for protection scheme early on in the game pr...

I hope you would reconsider. I think there is a valid complaint about the combat system though and have voiced that opinion. It is too random for my taste. Generally in the big Alpha battles the side with the most firepower came out on top, the main question was how much on top did they come out. Th...

Still waiting on the Klingon battle orders. I am working ahead a bit on movement while the battle is resolved but not much.

Sorry, should have been here.

One big fight going on now. Lots of movement. Turn may take a bit but should be a big one for the game in the end.

Ok. Today was insane at work thus far and I have an hour and a half conference call with the Small Business Administration that starts in an hour or so. Not much will get done today but that is good as diplomacy is blowing up and I want to give you all time to talk a few things out. By tomorrow some...
