Maybe I have been missing something in my Graduate course in Logic (don't 
blame the author of the book - it is Red Shirt's dad), but doesn't that also
imply that since I am normally the planet scum, and I didn't take ANY planets
that no planets were taken???

Seriously, though I had the highest offense on my team (still only 1/2 of
Lance's though -- pretty terrifying), and a .5 defense (by far the worst).
I spent my entire time escorting and ogging.  My ogging was greatly hindered
by two reasons:

	The lag got really long when I would be right about to uncloak.  
Consequently, I could not usually take out as AS with my CA ( I later
resorted to BB -- but this made it even harder to avoid the ubiquitous on
my way up to Rom ).

	I had been playing on bronco for 17 of the previous 18 hours (actually
the reason is quite simple -- I spent so much time on a take home exam for the
aforementioned Logic exam, and enjoyed the feeling of stress so much, that I
decided it would be *really cool to trash my weekend, and start my Comparative
Literature paper at 10pm Sunday [well, actually, started writing at 4am] due
the following morning (an hour ago -whew!!))  [thank god for emacs' quote
matching].

BTW -- to match an earlier post, I had thought Spaceace! to be really cool, and
was about to echo a really funny quote ("KSU is for pussies"), when I looked 
on this list, and found my name there NOT!!

Freekill and I held off Akira, EEK, Mr. Wizard and other cluefuls mostly by
ourselves (the only other clue [if I count], West, decided it would be real
cool to SC bomb Rom Space in a Fed-Ori game when the Feds had an SB) for 
many hours before SpaceAce! joined.  --- just had to get that one out

Unless you count Lance's trashing everyone -- but since he never cloaked, you
can't really call it an ogg

So there WERE OGGERS??!!??
