Part 1 of the ReturnMy apologies for keeping quiet for so many days. What with the server down and being busy with school. Ohh, the horrors!
But don't worry! Le saboteur is back!
So after getting some 22 tril naq during the farm run post-ppt (which apparently was nothing compared to HE's nice catch), le saboteur decided to diversify his portfolio. You know, add massing to the pain and suffering being handed out. That and hopefully to catch Hippy and maybe steal his stones or possibly mass him. It seemed hard when he was at 150 tril def, but now that he is at 616 tril, it would have been impossible without admin's input. But I digress! And le sabotuer will get back to that topic soon enough.
A player by the name of
ivandd40 had an impressive defense of
38 tril and some strike possibly. (can't be sure about strike as it was 5 days ago and le saboteur didn't get the time to post it anytime soon. BUT, his idea of a covert was level 20 with 100k spies at ~5.5k techs. So after the spanking, his
new def is 1.3 tril. Obviously strike was 0 at this point. So, that gave le saboteur quite a few Mil. Exp.
A little later le saboteur came across KSM's 12 bil def and impressive MS and was able to take down the MS but unfortunately KSM came online and so the defense stayed up.
Not long after, le saboteur came across a
defense of 20.6 tril. While this was not the highest (not remotely), it was within reach of le saboteur's new strike (at 10k techs
) This player was maninho. Anyways, he had an excellent MS that went from:
My Mothership uses its Energy Volley to inflict 1,213.900 billion damage, destroying 483 Matter-Phasic Shields on Jahangir!
to:
My Mothership uses its Energy Volley to inflict 3,398,920,000 damage, destroying 0 Matter-Phasic Shields on Jahangir!
After a whole lotta massing (le saboteur is new at this... ), which was probably quite inefficient, the defense was finally brought down too. maninho lost about
73k defenders and in the AC melee, about
700k spies.
To his credit he did get some revenge by taking out 'some' of my def. He did get quite a few weps but not enough to dent the stats because le saboteur had a lot of weps bought without units trained for them; for a rainy day kinda deal. But maninho made sure that the strike wouldn't be used anytime soon.
Anyways, this was all about 4-5 days ago.
Fast forward to today and le saboteur gets a message from hippy and a visit in the attack logs. The message asked if le saboteur held the covert stone....
LE SABOTEUR HAS THE COVERT STONE! LOL! It took him a few minutes to realize that he did indeed have the stones but because of the ranks breakdown, could not see the change in ranks. Immediately two people were visited to finish up the sab turns. Again, because le saboteur is kinda an idiot, he used a lot more spies than were needed because he didn't realize just how much power the stones give.
Part 2 will detail the damage dealt there.
