Happy Happy Joy Joy

Late in the week I decided to break from tradition and offer some sort of peace to the sector. I wouldn't exactly call it magnanimous behavior... it's just that I was sinking the same handful of players, and most of them weren't even the raisin sacked ego junkies that started the whole mess. Raptor and Corey made their case well, saying that I've made my point and there's really no sense in continuing the abuse. Plus, Michelle-V is cute, and I don't hate her as much as I should hate the enemy.

There was still a few people trying to convince me that I'm a terrible person, and a coward, and a bubble boy and blah blah blah, and some even insisted that I was abused in a bad way by my daddy... that my mommy didn't love me enough. One guy even gave me his address in florida, to prove he wasn't scared of me. I giggled.

I told them repeatedly, so that there would be no misunderstanding, "My bubble pops soon, and if I don't get hit in sector again I'll stay peaceful and helpful in sector". I said it in a variety of different ways and times during the day, and while several people grunted obscenities at me for even offering a 'truce', many folks were glad at the opportunity to have their happy happy joy joy chats back. It didn't break my heart when sharkattack tried to crater my base. His HH fleet was limping away when all that was left of my base was my outpost and dock... y'know the two things that matter.

So, for 36 more hours I attacked miners, guardfleets and more often than before, fleets that are salvaging... not just their cargo standby fleet, but their attacking fleets. I even showed up for a couple bases that put all their fleets out for me, talking big about how I'm not man enough. Train-Vets put out all his fleets, mostly seawolf and taunted me. I sent a two missile seawolf, 3 havoc longship fleet toward him and he called everyone to back him up.

He docked his FF fleet, but I hit his seawolf as 4 other players showed up to try to engage me after each battle. Lost a longship, killed his fleet. Engaged each of the other 5 fleets and sunk them all, losing one wolf, and 2 longships. He laughed as he launched all of them back into the water, he actually spent money to show me who's boss after I just sunk all his fleets with ease. He made fun as I sent my wolf fleet back to base... for some reason. I know who won that one, toughguy.

Sunday night, I have three days left in sector and my bubble expires. I let everybody know ahead of time that I'm ready to be peaceful again, and the same terms apply. Two people enter chat that I haven't seen all week. One of them is going OFF about how I sank his fleets so sector 223 could smash his base. He has the same insults as all his friends had... do they practice this together? I told him that I understand his frustration, and gave him the run-down on what's been happening this week, since he just now logged in after several days. He swore he wasn't afraid of me and that mommy didn't love me and blah blah blah.

Sharkattack promises me that I'll be 'surprised' later, but sector 223 hit me before the new clowns could get to me. I'll be nice in sector until V alliance proves, once again, that they are better players, better people, and gosh dangit... people like them. Incidently, Michelle-V said she was tired of it and renamed, to remove the V. She's classy.
