Well. this is funny. You don't know me at all and I guess you can acuse me of whatever you want. It's free. But acusing the Rebel player (Stefan) of breaking the rules that he himself tries so hard to enforce, is definitely rediculous.

Thar Borg cube that you mentioned (that I had robbed and captured previously), had barely any crew and even less fuel. When I landed in one of my few planets in the middle of Rebel territory to gather some fuel, the Rebel had a cloaked ship waiting for me there, then towed that cube to one of his well defended planets and he captured the cube due to a ridiculous amount of crew (the cleaning woman, the DJ and the plumber, that's all that was left on the ship).

I shouldn't have to explain this to you, or to anybody. The Rebel and the Piarates have been in open conflict since almost the begining of the game.

I hope after this explanation, you'll be honorable enough the write an apology to both the Rebel player and myself.

Colleagues, do you think it's acceptable to break the rules in games? I have serious concerns about the friendship between rebel and the pirate, as well as the bird and the colonist. As an example, a number of "random" coincidences can be cited. Examples: 1 - a cyborg cube captured by a pirate is in space, kidnappers are hanging under it in hidden mode, a rebel ship flies up here and, as if nothing had happened, drags the cube to its base, easily leaving the ambush without losing a single ton of fuel. A pirate's mistake? I doubt. 2 - for more than 60 consecutive moves, the cyborg is in invisible neutrality with the colonist. And then, by chance, after the cyborg finally decided to take revenge on the bird for the attacks on the extreme planets, the colonist's warships flew all over the front. A coincidence? I doubt.

P.S. Did everyone become so friendly in previously played games that they forgot the rules of the single game?
