So. I never had much of a chance to do the betas before. Always been too busy or not around at start etc.
However, for todays, I had a chance. One glorius chance to play and have some fun.
And fun I had. I quickly found a vengeful enemy in #beta by the name of Mek. Him and his insomnia support planets {clearly the nick of antigone, rixx, and crowly were fakes} quickly became my mortal enemies.
The leader, mek, was a cunning one. BUT I WAS MORE-SO!
Having started 100 ticks late, sadly I was a bit behind... but I made up for it with mass buying of harpies and the occasional pegasus and cereberus. Mek didn't believe my sheer awesomeness, so I vowed to roid him with one cereberus.
First up, I tried whacking him with a reconnisance fleet. Just because it appeared to be very similar to be 50 some terran DE, and just because it actually was 49 harpy and 1 cereberus was nothing out of the ordinary.
I launched with pride, seeking to freak Mek out with this large number of DE coming to visit. Little did he know he was about to be completely fooled by superior tactics. My ships landed, and I found to my dismay, that Mek had organized enough defence to wipe my DE fleet.
He literally sandblasted the soup cracker that was my 1 cereberus with 120 some wraith, and almost 500 beetle. I renewed my vow however, and started a massive barraige with different eta'd fleets of 1 ship. I sought to wear down his 2000 spiders with barraiges of 1, 2, and later 5 harpies. He never saw it coming, and again and again, I was able to land and not be harmed by his ineffectual
Spiders.
I was secure in my moral victory, and taunted him with a challenge of destroying my harpies by having one of his scorpions simply bodycheck them. Alas, he was not man enough to stand up to the challenge, and I continued to decimate his spider forces with 5 harpies.
Finally, I built 40 some leviathans and tried to cleverly disguise them as my DE. I launched, and to my dismay, mek and his support planets had found some way to defend against them. I landed anyways, and was completely annihilated
My poor poor leviathans.
That's what I should have thought anyways.... The fact of the matter is that I built behemoths by accident and launched them instead. It was a sad day for the planet of Squidly.
Fortunately though, the 20 harpy flak I sent survived the spider barrage yet again.
And so, at the end of this story, I say to everyone here:
"Let it be known, that I hit mek over 10 times, and only ever lost 1 DE"
I do not count those behemoths, as they weren't supposed to exist anyways.
The end, and I hope this classifies as sufficient enough PA humor in order not to get the thread closed.
Edit: ineffectual spiders. not harpies. my bad.
