    In the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces.

    I have got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel

    That's what I'm looking for, thanks. I just didn't see it in the gameroom forum before.

    I have all actions in for this game and also the MM3 game-

    Unfortunately I have eye and neck strain and a headache and cannot do any further writing. I must take a break.

    The writeup will be done ASAP, but I will probably be napping first. Sorry for the delay.

    Night Phase Two





    Meteo Asteroid Field





    choxorn was piloting his starfighter through the Meteo asteroid field, trying to get to Katina the quickest way: via the hyperspace warp hidden in the asteroids. He noticed some space wreckage nearby that looked suspiciously like a Venomian starfighter. He slowed his speed, and set sensors to maximum, and darted from behind one asteroid to the other, trying not to be spotted. In the distance, he spotted some craft he did not recognize. Thinking quickly, he shut down all engines and all systems besides life support and thrusters, and put his ship into a drift mode. A quick tap on the stabilizers threw him off his axis, and within seconds, he looked like an ordinary piece of space debris. With no lights or EM activity, the ship was dark and sensors wouldn't be able to easily detect it.

    This was a difficult maneuver, but his years of training helped prepare him for this moment. He kept a keen eye out for any large, fast moving asteroids, and simply accepted the damage his vessel was taking from the dust and rocks that were colliding with his ship. It would look rough when it was all over, but the ship would hold together.

    choxorn spotted a large asteroid off in the distance, and did a quick calculation in his head. He pressed on his forward thrusters to knock him slightly out of the roll and in the direction of the large asteroid. When he got near, he turned on the navcomputer and estimated the distance to target. He found a nice crater which would serve as a relatively safe place to land. When he had almost crashed into the asteroid, he quickly tapped on the stabilizers and came out of the roll, then he lowered the landing gear and turned the stabilizers vertical. Once he touched down on the asteroid, he would have to keep the stabilizers on at a low thrust setting, so that he could cling to the surface of the asteroid in this near-zero gravity situation. The gas from the thrusters would look exactly like thermal vents.

    After an hour of clinging to the surface of the asteroid, he turned on his sensor equipment and the cabin heater, since his instrument panels were starting to freeze up. After several rotations of the asteroid, he was able to tell that any ships in the area had left. It was time to leave. He switched off the stabilizers and safely drifted away from the large asteroid, and headed straight for the warp rings. They were only about 30,000 kilometers away. Choxorn turned on the deflector shield and eased his vessel out of the densest part of the asteroid field, and fired up his main thruster to maximum. Within minutes, he was at the warp.

    choxorn drifted into the first warp ring, and felt a burst of speed as the ship was magnetically propelled forward to the next warp ring. He hit the next warp ring and angled himself to the next one, gaining speed at a significant rate of acceleration. The magnetic rings caused the ship to spin, so choxorn held on for dear life, and switched his inertial dampeners to maximum. The stars outside his cockpit were spinning around so fast that they were nothing more than white blurry rings. He felt the ship shudder as it passed through magnetic rings four, five, and six.... Suddenly, his instrument panels lit up red, and alarms and warning signals went off.

    DANGER. DANGER. SUBSPACE ANOMALY DETECTED.

    At this rate of speed, and the fact that he was spinning at a rate of 300 revolutions per second, there was no way his little ship could reverse momentum and ease out of the warp zone in time. He was heading straight for the anomaly at 3,000 kilometers per second, and there was nothing he could do about it. He switched on his comm system and sent out one last distress call.


    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 



    Choxorn: Blue 11 is heading into a subspace anomaly! Blue 11 is heading into a subspace anomaly! If I don't make it.... tell my wife.... I love her....


    When choxorn entered the anomaly, he was moving too fast to see a great interruption of the space-time continuum; a massive gravity well. All manner of space debris and matter were being flung around at near-light speed. His sensors detected that the center of the anomaly had relatively normal space, and the navcomputer automatically adjusted the ship's thrusters to compensate, and angle it toward normal space, directly down the center of the vortex.

    However, sensors also detected a large object being hurtled down the center of the vortex.... a missile with a proton-antiproton warhead. With no way to stop the momentum of his vessel, all he could do was take his chances in the outer edge of the gravity well, and hope he could pull himself back in time. But even though he narrowly missed the proton-antiproton missile, he was flying out of control toward the edges of the well, where there was nothing but chaos, gravity, matter, velocity, and death. He only had seconds left to live.

    choxorn: THIS IS TOTALLY LAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!









    PHASE COMPLETE

    SHIPS DESTROYED: 1

    Begin Day Three

    Voting ends in approximately 48 hours, or 0600 on June 21st, GMT-5:00, eastern time USA. However, that night phase will end on the usual 2359, so be aware you have the full amount of time to vote, but less time to do night actions in the upcoming phase. Try to get your orders in on time, even send them in advance if necessary. I want to compensate for this delay, and you've got plenty of warning, so it shouldn't be a problem.



    EDIT: All result PMs have been sent out.

    Don't worry about me, I'll talk more when I have a lead or something.

    On the contrary, it seems that everyone posted their night actions.

    I of cause wont rule out the possiblity that I am wrong in this ^^ anyway thanks for asking, might clear up a misunderstanding

    Interesting, only one kill tonight?

    I'll Vote: Krill, for now. Self voting lurker who chides himself for lurking?
