Burncycle I could have sworn I added you to the front page, but I just checked then and you're right, so if you arent on the front page and would like to be, please PM me.
I massed my fleet into roughly 300 BS, 17 C and 130 D and have launched it all at AR's planet. They are going to show up in about 1hr 40 min from now. My transports however, dont show up for another 4 hrs, so we wont see AR plunge in rankings for a while.

Alright I have just gotten off the phone to Marine01 it what turns out to be a slice of history of beta 3. AR has replied to him. The nubcaek sent this morning instead of this afternoon and he forgot transports. He misinterpreted what I was trying to say last night.
HE is the first with the courage to attack AR this round which means, well.... we might all be funding the one of the most famous wars in beta 3 history.
Marine01 probably won't be able to post until late this afternoon, however I will try and keep the forum updated throughout the day.

Deus ex machina is New Latin for "god from the machine"; it is a translation of the Greek theos ek mekhanes.
Trivia: The dramatic device dates from the 5th century BC and is especially associated with Euripides, one of the greatest classical tragedians.
