EFSF Musings

[01:37] <Mother-Russia> I say we camp out at +3DE
[01:37] <Mother-Russia> Let them make a move.
[01:37] <Chan> like what in particular?
[01:38] * Chan is currently waiting for "places" to be updated
[01:38] <Mother-Russia> I dunno
[01:38] <Mother-Russia> If they hit one of the fleets
[01:38] <Mother-Russia> Then we just swoop in
[01:38] <Mother-Russia> Or something
[01:38] <Mother-Russia> I dunno.
[01:38] <Mother-Russia> We have a freaking industrial advantage.
[01:38] <Chan> true
[01:38] <Mother-Russia> They're playing by Chan-time now.
[01:39] <Chan> they can also slide into Side 5
[01:39] <Mother-Russia> Which is why they're going for the hail mary before you can purchase more ships.
[01:40] <Mother-Russia> So
[01:40] <Mother-Russia> Side 4
[01:40] <Mother-Russia> Rather, they'll be in +2DE tomorrow
[01:41] <Chan> if they're headed in direction. They seem to be moving one square at a time.
[01:41] <Chan> oh wow
[01:41] <Chan> Side 4?
[01:41] <Chan> that's... different.
[01:41] <Mother-Russia> Eh
[01:41] <Mother-Russia> All it means is they'll be at +2DE tomorrow
[01:42] <Mother-Russia> Ugh, Caratan
[01:42] <Mother-Russia> So bad
[01:42] <Mother-Russia> I need to hurt BM just for that
[01:43] <Chan> hmmm
[01:43] <Mother-Russia> I'd say we've been outmaneuvered.
[01:43] <Chan> explain?
[01:43] <Mother-Russia> We cannot win an engagement with the enemy fleet
[01:43] <Mother-Russia> We will take heavy losses as a result.
[01:43] <Mother-Russia> They probably know this.
[01:44] <Mother-Russia> What I suspect they will do is merely go towards Texas.
[01:44] <Mother-Russia> 1. Weakly defended overall
[01:44] <Mother-Russia> 2. Chance to put the hurt on / capture PCs
[01:44] <Mother-Russia> 3. Capture mines
[01:44] <Chan> #3 is easy to remedy, just strip mine them
[01:45] <Gaplant> Draco, new mission outline on side board btw.
[01:45] <Chan> #1 doesn't really hurt us either way, it was a gift to Kuriboh
[01:45] <Mother-Russia> Not much of a remedy since we still lose access to them
[01:45] <Gaplant> (sorry to interrupt :>)
[01:45] <Chan> #2 is a gamble on the PCs but they have enough money for MS Support
[01:46] <Mother-Russia> As such, I will most likely have to move back to +3DE
[01:47] <Chan> by all means
[01:47] <Mother-Russia> How many do we have at Texas?
[01:47] <Mother-Russia> Kuriboh and Isaiah?
[01:47] <Mother-Russia> That it?
[01:47] <Chan> Kuriboh and Isaiah should be in Side 5
[01:47] <Chan> I'm not sure if Ravaged moved at all today
[01:48] <Chan> No he didn't
[01:48] <Gaplant> Onee-sama!
[01:49] <Mother-Russia> It's your call, Chan.
[01:49] <Gaplant> They bought a Big Tray.
[01:49] <Gaplant> 0_0
[01:49] <Chan> if we move onto +2DE the same day they move onto +3DE or Side 5, they'll miss us
[01:49] <Chan> hey
[01:49] <Chan> do you think Daren accidently hit "4" instead of "5"?
[01:49] <Mother-Russia> Who knows?
[01:50] <Mother-Russia> We are planning for a Side 5 contingency anyways
[01:50] <Mother-Russia> I'm assuming they're just using that to move around
[01:50] <Chan> I do know something for sure: the Blex Fleet attack is postponed
[01:50] <Mother-Russia> Sorta like how I just went to EO
[01:51] <Chan> right
[01:52] <Mother-Russia> We can try to attack them
[01:52] <Mother-Russia> Because frankly, we're at risk of losing the Braw Bro
[01:52] <Chan> the Braw Bro is stuck at Overlord 12
[01:52] <Mother-Russia> Wait, is that not in Side 5?
[01:52] <Chan> Overlord 12 is in Side 5
[01:53] <Mother-Russia> Ah, see, that's bad.
[01:53] <Chan> 10, 11, and 12 are in Side 5
[01:53] <Mother-Russia> It'll be left behind.
[01:53] <Mother-Russia> In terms of preserving your ships, we would lose the prototype suits.
[01:53] <Mother-Russia> In terms of preserving two of three of the prototype suits while perhaps losing at least one ship, then we can fight them on Monday
[01:54] <Mother-Russia> And besides
[01:54] <Mother-Russia> All they have to do is move to Side 5
[01:54] <Mother-Russia> Then what? You're going to strip mine in advance?
[01:54] <Mother-Russia> They wont even have to attack the mines.
[01:55] <Mother-Russia> If you don't strip mine, they capture it
[01:55] <Mother-Russia> Either way their goal is accomplished
[01:55] <Mother-Russia> The strip mining one just denies the mines to both sides (slightly Zeon advantage)
[01:56] <Mother-Russia> Barring stupidity on their end, I see those scenarios.
[01:58] <Chan> if their intentions are to get the Overlords
[01:59] <Chan> then we can still perform our attack on Blex Fleet, and strip the mines. The only thing they'll get is Texas
[02:03] <Chan> you made some good points Jim.

[02:13] <Mother-Russia> And uh
[02:13] <Gaplant> Hai, sempai.
[02:13] <Mother-Russia> If we do enough damage to the fleet
[02:13] <Mother-Russia> They may be unsuccessful in killing/destroying/capturing the Braw Bro
[02:14] <Mother-Russia> But yes, a fleet is going to be required
[02:14] <Chan> we have the starting of a fleet with our three ships
[02:15] <Mother-Russia> More importantly, it lets us move some Zaku's out to point defense and give room for the prototypes
[02:16] <Chan> with two MS Support Services, that'll give us 18 Zaku II Fs and 1 Zaku II E
[02:16] <Mother-Russia> Now, will we be on overwatch or will they?
[02:16] <Chan> throw in a Proto Gelgoog, Dom PPT, Rick Dom, Zaku II E, and your Zaku I MPSET.
[02:17] <Chan> that's always the gamble
[02:25] <Mother-Russia> Oh well
[02:25] <Mother-Russia> Try to get the decision to me
[02:25] <Mother-Russia> By 6PM Central Standard
[02:26] <Chan> that's what, 3PM EST?
[02:27] <Draco> 6PM Central = 7PM Eastern.
[02:27] <Chan> oh, right
[02:27] <Chan> Jim, what's the best way to contact you?
[02:27] <Mother-Russia> IT'S BY HIS CELLULAR DEVICE
[02:27] * Draco gives Chan a clock with all four time zones on it for Christmas.
[02:27] <Mother-Russia> OF WHICH BIG BROTHER PUTS A TRACKING DEVICE IN
[02:28] <Chan> thanks Draco
[02:28] <Chan> so what would it be? Forum PM, here in IRC, or Messenger?
[02:28] <Mother-Russia> ...
[02:28] <Mother-Russia> Wait, the acronym spells GCOCK?
[02:28] <Mother-Russia> That's ace, man.
[02:29] <Mother-Russia> It would have to be TEXT
[02:29] <Draco> YEP.
[02:29] <Mother-Russia> MESSEGING
[02:29] <Mother-Russia> I'm not next to a computer usually
[02:29] <Mother-Russia> I only go on the computer at school if I have to
[02:29] * Chan sighs
[02:30] <Chan> what's your cell # then?
[02:30] <Mother-Russia> Get Sphinx-Goddess to PM me or something
[02:30] <Mother-Russia> Or text me
[02:30] <Mother-Russia> She has mah numba
[02:30] <Chan> okay, I'll get her to text you or something.
[02:30] <Gaplant> Draco!
[02:30] <Mother-Russia> If worst comes to worst
[02:30] <Mother-Russia> Just PM me on the forums
[02:30] <Gaplant> Mistah Ace -desu.
[02:31] <Chan> Regardless, Jim, you need to send an action for your Pazock to join my fleet.
[02:33] <Mother-Russia> I SHALL MAKE NOT EOF THIS IN MY SCHEDULER
[02:34] <Chan> thanks Jim
[02:34] <Draco> Not eof? Is that even real?
