That may be strategically right, but it does give us a good glimpse as to who the men behind the mask are.
I don't know exactly who you were aiming that at, but it's clearly to the "scanners".
The fact is, we were already well ahead of the rest of the universe, far before we scanned.
Even when we had over 1.4 Billion in saved resources, we were *still* ahead.
It's not quality of the game, we had 2.5 months of constant and successful attacking.
We were in an unbeatable position at that point (assuming we kept playing the same game), so why put ourselves in jeopardy by continuing to attack ?

Will you attack right up to the last tick ? The fact is that as the round draws near, people will attack less, and gamble on losses even less, since there is no use in going *down* in score, when the roids won't pay off.

The fact was, we had already won, you cannot justify that we should have attacked this last week or so, since there was no reason for us to put our ships in danger.

Cordially,
Sonny.
