I hate you, You're awesome!

Leaving 369 tomorrow, and I'm breaking with tradition. I'm not going to attack the sector, or even incite the other sectors to retaliate here by hitting miners all night. A few people here are cool, and it really is a defenseless little town.

Sanchez is a level 32 next to me, RIGHT on top of me all week long. He's mostly quiet, he occasionally launches a few fleets into the adjacent sector and never says much. I enjoy eating his level 9 salvage twice a day. Someone pointed out the coords to a minefield nearby, where sanchez had a dreadnaught fleet mining zynthium. My eyes lit up.

I watched it for a few hours, and I mentioned in comms that I just can't stand it anymore. I have to go attack it. A couple people laughed and a couple people said that it's my funeral if I hit that guy, "He's AFK's cousin, you'll pay dearly for that".
i bet

I can't look at a red button without pushing it. And those dreadnaughts are a bright red button for me. I mean really? Mining with a dreadnaught fleet? I didn't even send longship scouts. Sent my half-built scorpion fleet, with 2 barges. Two dreadnaughts in there. One has strike missiles and booster3, one is all thuds with hb3. Then 3 FF's with a siege mortar, and shockwaves. Delicious. I didnt pay close enough attention and lost my scorpion fleet. I sent the wolf fleet to finish the job though.

There was one barge fleet waiting for me after the battle, and I slipped away.. then stopped. The ballsy barge sank, but hey, way to go Saxon. Keep hope alive. He explained that he is worried that sanchez will destroy the whole sector for this, and his miners are next door. I explained how much his fears meant to me by sinking the rest of sanchez's miners nearby. Let there be no misunderstanding.

When sanchez logged on he exploded in comms. I grinned and explained that his fleets were terrible and that he should tune into the game more often. Theres this thing called solid fuel booster, it'll help the range on your missile ships. And who the hell mines with dreadnaughts? He told me how much of a coward I am because I am in a bubble. So I sent a longship on the extended journey, 3 seconds away, and popped my bubble on him.
"none of your fleets that I sunk can even make it into my base, you tough talking moron. what are you gonna do, yell at me to death?"
He tried a few retorts, yelling and screaming bad names and bad words, and I had a clever retort to each. The other pirates in the sector were laughing and the sheeple were quiet. I think I heard a bleating protest once.
"what, no more comebacks, sanchez? You checking your credit card balance?"
Oh wait, he relocated. heh, what a guy. We had a good laugh at his expense.

"I'm leaving tomorrow ya'll, been fun."
Ravenous relocated a few minutes later. She couldn't stand that many of the players that chanted hate at me all week were now praising me for some reason. I gotta agree. It'll be nice to get out of this one horse town, and back into battle.

Time to hook back up with Exile and so some huntin'
