"Our Ambassador to The Missing Colonies of Man has relayed the following message:

Cyborg-Crystal alliance currently has a combined military score of ~62%. Since I do not see this alliance breaking as soon as their combined score hits 65%+ (which should happen in about 2 turns) we might as well give them the game.

Well played gents...."

It is a matter of time now, the end is clear. Please Vote below if you want to end the game.

I'll need votes from Kedalian and Kwesy before ending this game. Maybe Kedalian wants to switch sides and take down the evil Cyborg.  ;) 

NOTE: The game will not actually end naturally until 1 player has 65%.

I was just rallying all my forces. I was told  there'd be an awesome party at the Colonials place. 
Was totally looking forward to some Virgo smashing, but otherwise I'm fine with ending this game. 

Was a pleasure playing with all of you! Especially with you, figak! Great coordination.

Wow,

I just had a peek at the various Alpha games (Rebirth 1-4), and am amused by how much they are presently playing against type.  To wit...

Rebirth 1: The Privateers(!) are leading, with the Crystalline in 2nd
Rebirth 2: The Borg are leading
Rebirth 3: The Borg are again leading, Crystals again in 2nd
Rebirth 4: The Privateers are (again!) leading

Almost makes one feel sorry for those poor carrier races... :)

Those Darkwings are so well cloaked they do not even show up on the score board.  That tech has been adapted to my 90 Virgos.  The combined Bird-COM armada will arrive short after I learn how to spawn winged-primate natives from my exhaust port.

@daril

Very good idea; I here by call for the formations of the "Democratic Order of Planets" (D.O.O.P) and an immediate end of all conflict.

It looks like the colonial and bird home worlds (p61 and p56 respectively) have fallen in this last turn.

Thank you for playing when this was clearly coming for the last... wow a month? Anyway, now that the homeworlds are gone, do you want to keep the turkey shoot out?

8 new biocides have departed from our base docks and will be joining the hunting down of the last ships and bases, so there are more cubes and finishing nets ready if you want to do a numantine resistance.

It's very over now!

Congrats to the evil gang - you did a good job! 

I have a question to figak and spuk:
In the beginning of the game - was the alliance between figak and me just made to get insight into my region?
Once more it found that it is of advantage if you know the people with whom you're playing since everybody thinks differently. There can be many possible intentions for an alliance (which is totally ok - I'm not judging it).

And I learned that Crystals need to be killed ASAP in any game! Don't let them build just one single torpedo!

Let's hope Joshua tells us this is it, or else we have to work on the next turn soon ;)

I am going to write a bit of a chronicle of this game from my perspective, so this elaborate answer is just a "preview" of what I want to write and, at the same time, answer your question.

No, Spuk and I had not exchanged detailed info on to attack you, not at that stage. I wish the history functionality was active then, because I could have really done so later on... 

I would say that I have an advanced alliance with Kedalion, we exchange easy 5 messages per turn and coordinate our attacks. We missed some functionality to this efficiently like: what's on the planets we scouted with the cloakers we comendeered/cloned/traded, which ships are out of fuel and which ships hit his fishing nets or hit my mines, what enemy ships are orbiting our planets planets. What I found with my "cerveza" probes, which planets I obliterated and what I found on them. etc.

With Spuk it was more highlevel, more fitting to the alliance functionality. Less detailed. Like I said, and it was later in the game that we got into alliance mode.

At early stage (turn 10?) I had agreed a border with him and he was sticking to it honourably and I was in alliance mode with you to share info (like turn 20 or so?), then Spuk started to make a move on you and you decided not to trust me. You broke it off, not even an explanation, that was insulting and I black listed you. You expected me to have control over the fascist, when I all I had was a border. If you didn't trust me, how could I trust you?

So it was time to judge who I would ally with, who to trust based on actions and not words, to take sides. The backstabbing paranoid and slippery romulan or the honorable (yet independent and aggressive) Klingon. The outcome you know.

When I take sides, I do it all the way, I provided access to Spuk to the planets we (borg-bird) could have used for trading to resupply his attacking fleet and go deeper in your area and I gambled by trading a Firecloud for a D7 with Mk7s and that paid off beautifully... (more on that later). But it cemented our trust and allowing me to the same with Kedalion, who got two cloned D7s with MK7s as xmas presents as a token of my commitment to our alliance.

If you hadn't been so rush, slippery and disloyal, it could have been the fascist on the receiving end of my cubes. The bird with fireclouds and me with a Resollute. Funny enough we ended having a few Resolltes anyway, as we Imperial Assulted your bases ;)

Very interesting - thank you very much for your view.

> The backstabbing paranoid and slippery romulan ...
That's me! 8-)

I admit that several things made me very suspicious, but probably I read too much into it.
What about that privateer in the beginning?
I can't recall in detail, but I had the impression that you're allied with him, but exploiting him - just to get Meteors etc.

I learned from this game (first time I tried the Birds).
Birds can really be an exciting race, but I did a bad job there (with diplomacy part being the worst part).
I'll try better in the next game. :-)

Ah no! The first privateer was rather inept as far as I could see and left, then came a few replacements but they found a mess and left. 

The planets north of my homeworld bordered the privateer and were excellent in production of cash and minerals, many cubes came from that base. So early in the game I had to mine it hard (big and overlaping fields) to stop any nasty surprises. It worked and the priv chickened out, and preferred to go for the fascist (bad idea.. one word for you "pop"). So soon that privateer quit.

Only just before I set out to destroy the privateer (and he had been my biggest worry) did someone competent take it over. It was: http://vgaplanets.nu/user/darksunny-moon

But it was too late, I launched a two prone plannet hopping firecloud assault with 6? cubes, one direct to his HW and it was all over quickly thanks to the fishing nets of Kedalion no robbing took place, also the Spuk joined in the fray a little pillaging him mad. The last priv plannet died a slow, pillaged death.

We even chased him out of the North East Corner where he was trying to hide and he stumbled on one of my cluster outposts ;)

Oh I learned mountains too. It's the first time I win a game as borg, my other two tries ended badly. I also made mistakes and learned from it but overall it looks like I didn't do too many ;)

For example my errors:
  1. It sucks to assimilate all natives 1 turn before you have enough to build a base
  2. I over focused on anni's at the start of the game scared on lacking MC for fighters instead of Biocides.
  3. I underbuilt my factories and taxed badly, I realised how to tax more effectively and then Bios and fighters started to pour.
  4. Alchemy ships when you have 300-400 factories per planet are a great idea.
  5. You can never have enough Fireclouds.
