)didn't expect to hold their two argris forever.  It was a SOLID win,  
)however.  You were never in contention.

I'll agree that it was solid when we were at 12-8.  It never seemed as if
we'd get back to 10-10.  It also never seemed that you guys would be able
to keep more than 12 planets.  I think we were near our core early on and
just came right back to about 12-8.

To call your win SOLID makes it sound like a genocide or something.  I think
you guys would've won no matter how long we played, but you would've just
squeaked by, not solidly win.

)The base ogg was 4 ships that happened to be there.  You never mentioned  
)he was ghostbusted (at the time), and I don't remember him not firing.   
)You said he was ghostbusted later, and I tried to free the slot, when  
)justin said 'kill R3', so I freed slot 3...this was freekill (captain)  
)rather than wreck...and that hosed the game.

The first time the base died was right after the half.  He didn't fire and
was ghostbusted.  The second time was when you xtkilled me instead of Limofel,
NOT WRECK - he didn't play.  This is further proof of your hallucinations.

)) I will agree that Duck wasn't the primary factor that you won, but he

)) besides Yea Boy!!!!! 
)
)Noo...I NEVER take planets...not me...uh uh.

Sorry, I should have said effective planet taker.  You took some, but not
nearly as much or as annoying as YeaPig.

)) It was, however, an extremely good game.  Given a couple more 
)) scrimmages, we may be able to manage a tie...

)) Also, the 4pm game wasn't 15-5.  I seem to remember it being 12-8 at the
)) end.  Perhaps if Justin and I didn't decide to ogg the base for no 
)) reason, our team would've done better.

)Certainly not...the 4pm game was 12-8...I was on your team for that  
)one...and it was EVERYTHING i could do to bring us back.  We were getting  
)crushed until I started taking planets.

Also, Justin and I decided to start playing rather than fuck around.  We
also took planets at the end.  I seem to remember me taking the two planets
that brought it from 14-6 to 12-8.  But, in your warped memory of that day,
perhaps you think you brought us from an LPS.

) Spaceace!

Or should we just say ) Spaced!
