There were also Stiletto and Akira playing under other names on the Fed team.
The Roms only had woof, Scott, and me.

I was really surprised about the lack of coordination in the base oggs.
This was my first real effort at basing, and i suspect a coordinated og
by three players would have taken me out, but I rarely had more than one
uncloaked enemy at a time to deal with. I got ogged seriously twice.
Once I was left with about 30 hull left, but my team came to my rescue.
The other time I got toasted.

I think he was R8, who was, as far as I can recall, the second most
clued on my side. He seemed to be taking useful planets when we had
armies (we had an agri that didn't pop for 10 minutes :( ) I didn't see
him ogg or bomb, but I was hiding near our agri.

I think he should be taken seriously. He's not a Balton or an Akira, but
he helped a lot in holding off a genocide against clued, although
disorganized opposition.
