Cookie Time! FAST UW

@ottoman- giving them non race ship is too much, i dont care if they give them 100K land u.large or even half their research levels.

1)Quite frankly speaking, this UW fleet wouldn`t last the first 6-10 hours on RT. So it wasn`t RT good UW fleet. Given there were a grand total of 2 empires that did what it had to be done and pretty much killed 800 mil PR with a few BTCs(arrland and arch) it says it all.

2) The UW could have ended in BA. I didn`t want it to end there as it wasn`t planned to be real UW.

3) I wasn`t drunk Crack, this UW was really meant to be fake.

Anyway, congrats to the guy to fulfilling his goal. I might be wrong that he is a multi but I can`t really play with CM and GW any more.

@Atreides, i think its better than all the top 5 % rich empires stock piling the whole servers market, and destroying every UW that they come by. You know why we have an incentive to uw`s, its to keep the place active bro... I mean not only does it instigate an oposition, it instigate a market filled because people need to sell their stock piles to fight the uw... It keeps the server going round.. instead of a few people leeching off the entire server.

I love the thrill of attacking a competive UW. For a year, I`ve saved my STC`s. I`ve allied myself with some of the very best empires. Build the largest fed entirely of members who have never attempted a UW, and who really, really wanted to stop the next one. It`s been a great year and it was a great UW.

So thanks to CM. Congratz! I hope you had as much fun in the past year as I have had.

Thanks to the UW supporters. The attacks before the start were maybe more important then the ones durring.

But my biggest shout-out goes to all of my Fed mates and to the independants who activatly worked with me during the past year and fired away to tear the stack apart. It wasn`t fodder. I`ve got 12 full pages full in my fed log. You know who you are.

Fast is the Best!

Ease up, don`t be so serious, just messing with ya...

The coin does have two sides - it`s just that heads, I win and tails, you lose.

i love how there is always a days worth of blame everytime a UW goes off. when was the last time ppl just said "welp, i guess we screwed up... better luck next time everyone."

@MD/grant since when did i say TB UW are a joke eh? I dont like UW reward ship it mess up my game. end of story. stop putting words on my mouth! you dont even know how the battle system works, not capturing a ship a glitch lmao.

Well CM deserve it due to little support and the politics involve was really intriguing. We somehow mess up and some stop defending when CM said hes going to bed. I know the remaining stalkers lack historias put him down and bombarding of barrera was only done in the last hour lol. there was a small window to launch a final attack but the server refresh seals CM win. Im glad he blow it fedless.

Well if it is a farewell UW CM, have a good life and i pray for your health.

Wokay donster.. Lets say u are smarter than me and u never seen a fake uw before.. and u believe no communication is enough communication.. and fedmates are worth not telling ur intentions of a uw..

What have i been saying all along.. people like u and ren always seem to think they are 100% right and the coin only have one side..

Geez Crack, how much more did he need to build before realized there was going to be a UW???

What with the lack of support?? 1stly it didnt came to my attention that he wanted to uw seeing that we are in the same fed.. the next i know is when the uw was ongoing, i saw in the forum that theres an ongoing uw from my fedmate.. thus i even encourage for fast to get a boom by a fedmate.. the next i know is dm in maybe his drunken state saying that its a fake uw.. and cm didnt reply to a few fedmate/allies..

Anyone who have seen me always prowling for action on ultra will attest to me, wanting for more action.. its just confusing to take action at that moment..

Congrats cookie and well done defenders for their efforts.

I`m glad Fast went boom, seeing you guys dominate a good portion of the over all richest empires list was just disturbing :P Also, I might have been a guardian for a while on Fast, but I haven`t done a lot of fighting, more infra researching than anything. I think I learned more about guardian ships, and fighting with them, than in all the rest of my time as guard put together, so thanks for that CM :)

Yeah it was a well fought UW for sure! The server needed to get a cash/mineral reset.

Lucky for CM that the opposition was a little slow starters, otherwise it should have ended well before. As for the defending I dont quite agree with you Grant. I cleared what you left of the higher ranks just before he started, killing maybe 100mil+ fleet from the opposition, so he got some support starting out. Im sure you know very well why the defenders didnt do any hits during the UW.

@Ren: I havent seen your attacking fleet, but as far as I know purposly feeding fleet to a UW holder is against the rules...

I agree with grantweep - all around it was a fine UW both from both side. The opposition smashed a ton of fleet and almost had him, but in the end Cookie pulled it off and congrats are in order for that.

What I`m trying to say here is that

1) The fast opposition was amazing
2) The amount of political/diplomactic complications that arose from this UW is mind boggling
3) Cookie did it, more or less all by himself. (with three maybe four support hits)

Once again, I know that a lot of hurt feelings happened because of this UW, and my objective isn`t to gloat, but merely to point out, objectively, what the heck just happened.

Congratulations , both to Cookie and to server in general as the first build 1 billion stack for the UW , and the server because was able to defeat the fleet.

its easy being on the other side saying what could have been done
once again a small support from the supporters , but meaninfully as he has no turns and at least that was given to him !

I don`t think this has been the bloodiest UW , but must be pretty close.

This has got to be the most boring post UW discussion ever.

Most people don`t even realised what happened, but the fact is that this UW started off with a fleet that would rival a UW fleet on RT (1.1 bil gal spam), and was burned to the ground, only to succeed through an explore phase.

And he did all of this almost non-existant fed support, which is something that most people also dont realize.

I want to remain respectful of all parties here, because I know that many feelings were hurt during this UW, but that`s just unbelievable.

Those who say TB UWs are a joke should examine, study and learn from this UW to see how it`s done.

Heck, even atreides admitted that this was the craziest UW. Atredies, the guy who always talks about how GC is dead and TB UWs are a joke.

I love how you guys think my attack was intended to hurt Cookie :P

Look at my fleet a little more closely.
