If your sole goal was to prevent us winning (and help FL win, as agares has said), would it not have been more prudent to have laid low, building value (split into two tags, perhaps), allowing a potentially strong CT to get pegged back by other competitors without yourselves getting roided dry, before heroically rewarding your beta warrior chums with a thank you win in the final stretch? Could you not have picked a more optimal ship strat if your only goal was to hurt us? Why did your members leave?
I’m sure pride and spite will see your planets continue logging in to send ever less impressive fleets but let’s not pretend you haven’t been roundly dicked on here.

Not really, the aim (as you've said) is to make you not win. So we need to keep your value low enough so that regardless of political situation towards the end, there will be no path to victory for you. Only way to do that is to attack you all round. Eventually, BF, FL and maybe pingu (but you will probably keep them behind you since they arn't full tag) will outgrow you enought that you can't catch them.
So far - we are winning... since you are not...
You were always going to end up out-roiding us since you play for real. We 3 fleet attack. Nothing weird about that.
You are right, that we could have played normal and still dedicated the round to ****ing you up. But I don't think we could have motivated folks to DC and get up at nights to send def-fleets just to **** you up. To do that, folks would have wanted to win. Better to let us have a round off, PL on some CT target - go to bed and sleep the whole night and wake up the latest of the roid swapping breps
We'll be back next round after we have 3-fleeted you for another 702 ticks
