It's so ... lonely. In space no one can hear you type. 8O

LOL! Maybe you should try not to sleep on the internet. I guess last june I heard some terran people even prefer to sleep in "beds"!

Or if your drunk (not that it apply's to a 13 y/o) the sofa or the floor

Sleep??

Who has time for sleep when there BOTF to play? I manage to sleep 3 hours a day. The rest is spent between work, wife, and BOTF. I get up an play, go to work. get home, shower, and play. eat dinner then play botf. wife goes to bed, i check mail and come here then go and play botf!

Wired? nope... lol

This makes it really surprising to me you play this T5 vs T1 thing as you have so much training. I'd really like to play an online match against you

That would be fun, but I have played like two online games... I was way lost.
Everything is different....

I only had 14 distroyers and 7 scouts...

So? No replies? No help? What did I do wrong..???

Playing Feds.... Whoa.... hard to keep enough credits to build a scout much less anything else. and the citizens, buch of cry babies... lol

play as the rommies, it's waaaaaaaaaaay easier.

i know you want to.

There's no need to say my view on the matter, Skeeter.

Winterhawk, just mod the Morale of your people if they are getting in the way of your battle for Galactic Supremecy.

DCER's Morale editor 0.2 works quite well (Even in XP) - I can send it to you should you need it.

(If I haven't done so already... )
