Here it is. This story uncovers every secret I ever had in the best SRE
|
|
game ever. People blame me for being cocky, for giving myself to much
|
|
credit. Ha! After reading this, you will realize how important I really
|
|
was. In 'SRE: The Best Game Ever Played,' I told the story. I also left
|
|
out important parts about my secrets because at the time of it's
|
|
beginning, we were still playing the game, and I didn't want anyone to
|
|
know my secrets. But now the game is done, and I can share my secrets
|
|
with you, and show you why I love this game so much.

===========----- SRE III -----==========
|
|
|
|
On another BBS, about 1 year ago, I began playing SRE's predecessor, SEE
|
|
(For the Atari). It was a great game, but alas, I was cocky, and shot my
|
|
mouth out at a veteran. He eventually beat me, and taught me a lesson
|
|
that i needed to learn. I was glad and mad that he did it. I kept a vow
|
|
to defeat him, and I eventually did. Ya see, there was a HD failure, and
|
|
I lost my empire, but he kept his. A whopping 1000 planets. (In SEE,
|
|
1000 is HARD to get w/o attacking someone). My task seemed impossible:
|
|
Start from scratch and still defeat him. But, using my resources, I
|
|
created a nice empire. Me and two friends created the secret Thunder
|
|
Triliance, with the explicit purpose of unseating my enemy. Guess what..
|
|
We did. And I now have 6007 planets in that game. That's how I got
|
|
started int he SEE/SRE type of games.. (Historical note- It took me 9
|
|
months to do this)
|
|
|
|
I started playing the Knight SRE game and with my expertixe took it over
|
|
easily. Unfortuantely, I went on a one week vacation, only to find that
|
|
my empire had been lost to someone named MaceLand. I harbored anger, and
|
|
revenge, and started a battle. We clinched, and I lost heavily. I
|
|
stopped fighting with him long enough to steal one of my own ideas. If
|
|
an alliance worked to defeat an enemy before.. why not now? So, I did. I
|
|
created the Geneva Alliance, who's purpose was to defeat Mace, and
|
|
defend members. We went on, and made great friendships. But that wasn't
|
|
enough. A surprise attack on mace, destroyed him. But I ws never told,
|
|
and didn't get my share of the planets. Thinking quickly, I formed the
|
|
Alliance Triad, which would serve as government head. There would be 3
|
|
members: The Fouder (Me), the first member to join (Dune Realms), and
|
|
the second member to join. ( The Elite Empire). This was to no avail, as
|
|
people began looking to the larger empires than to me, the one who could
|
|
play this game and save us from alot of trouble. I'd gone through what
|
|
the Alliance was about to go through, and could've shaked the earth, if
|
|
I'd had control. People began saying we needed to destroy the Pirates,
|
|
since Mace was gone. In fact, one person said our new purpose would be
|
|
to destroy them. Idiotic.. They CAN'T be destroyed. But, people forgot
|
|
our 2nd purpose: To Defend our Members. They wanted the riches to
|
|
themselves. I ws sick of it. So, in an attempt to gain more power, I had
|
|
a friend logon as BountyHunter, a new player who would give me enough
|
|
money to take power by force. He listened to me, and did everything I
|
|
told him too. And, his real purpose never worked out, so he became a spy
|
|
into Mace's empire. Elite, too, was a yesman, doing mostly what I told
|
|
him too. Since we're brothers, it's easy to both sit and watch what
|
|
happens, and for me to coach him. Bounty, and the future Bronco also
|
|
both lived at my house. But Bronco and Bounty had different minds, and
|
|
often didn't logon. Well, Mace came back. He had a new empire. Dune
|
|
Realms warned Bounty that mace had asked for a list of the Alliance (He
|
|
claimed he wanted to join), and Dune was sure that Bounty had been found
|
|
out as a traitor. He had, in fact, but some real good manipulation by me
|
|
convinced Mace that Bounty was not a traitor after all; he had joined
|
|
the alliance after mace died, becuas ehe had noone to protect him, I
|
|
made him say. And so, Bounty got into Mace's network of allies. It was a
|
|
mess.. I got a spy report through, and found that Mace had about 6
|
|
allies. I exposed the entire list to the Alliance and gave them a quote
|
|
Mace had sent to Bounty (I'll join, and then when they least expect it,
|
|
I'll stab them in the back!'). We took action and defeated Mace. That
|
|
was the beginning of the Dark Alliance. By now, NOone listened to my
|
|
advice, so a depserate take over plot was devised again. It would be
|
|
similiar to Bounty's, except HE would split the Alliance, by attacking
|
|
and winning. He'd allow me to take over the rest, and then VOILA, I'm in
|
|
power. But he failed to garner trade deals, so he diminished into an
|
|
empire with no use. But not for long....
|
|
|
|
After Mace's 2nd fall, Dominion Empire took over. He got more followers,
|
|
and as I soon discovered through my 3 spies (Elite, Bounty, and Bronco)
|
|
he was planning a complete overthrow. I had Elite expose him, with
|
|
quotes from members of the new 'Dark Alliance', that PROVED he was an
|
|
enemy. But Dominion, obviously as good at propaganda as me, said Elite
|
|
was wrong. Most people believed him. The Alliance was looking for peace,
|
|
but I knew war wasn't far off. Noone would heed our cries to attack
|
|
Dominion. So in a desperate gamble, I had Elite attack Dominion hoping
|
|
it would spark a war. And it did. Although it didn't give me what I
|
|
wanted and deserved, command of the Alliance. Instead, it got the entire
|
|
Dark Alliance on me and Elite. Soon, we had a few people help us, but
|
|
they soon quit attacking. Someone found out that Bronco had nothing, no
|
|
defense. So they attacked him. that was a BIG mistake. While they were
|
|
gabbing about how stupid Bronco was, and Bronc argued back, I kept
|
|
trying to get the Alliance to attack. They were onthe verge, but, quite
|
|
simply, they were penny-pinchers. Afraid to lose their empires to
|
|
fulfill the 2nd purpose: To Defend it's Members, they never attacked.
|
|
Instead, I was stripped of 600 planets in one day by the Dark Alliance.
|
|
Desperate for aid, Bronco only took bare necesseties from the aid he was
|
|
receiving daily from his friends, and was funneling it to me and Elite.
|
|
I used it to repair my empier, and had Elite use it to create an army.
|
|
By this time, people onthe Dark side were daring the Alliance to fight.
|
|
I knew the only two ways the standoff would end. Either I attacked, or
|
|
ALL of the Dark Alliance would attack. So I attacked Olympus, starting a
|
|
new war. Dominion was destroyed leaving the positionof head of the Dark
|
|
Side up for grabs. Finally, I got Dune Realms support, and the war took
|
|
a turn as the 3 big giants of the Alliance (Dune Realms, Jed's Solar
|
|
Empier, and Lil Red Empire) began to attack. It was a long fight, but
|
|
eventually we broke through. The cash flow to me and Elite from Bronc
|
|
was VERY high, and we had large enough armies to defeat several enemies
|
|
ourselves. It was great. Then with the Dark Side left shambly, the game
|
|
was reset, ending the best, longest, SRE game on record.
|
|
|
|
I am saddened that I never achieved my goal of regaining my previous
|
|
leadership. It saddens me more that NOone thanked me for the services I
|
|
provided for the Alliance. If I hadn't sent out my network of spies, if
|
|
Elite and I hadn't started two wars, if I hadn't exposed **3** different
|
|
battle plans against us, if I hadn't STARTED the Alliance, the game
|
|
would've been over for the Alliance. The rest of them were so damn
|
|
afraid (Sorry for cussing, but it is APPROPRIATE here) to lost their
|
|
empires, they wouldn't attack. Their selfishness almost cost them their
|
|
empires. The Dark Side would've enlarged to a point unbeatable by us, if
|
|
we hadn't convinced people to fight. If people would've LISTENED when we
|
|
told them what was happeing, and taken action, the Dark Side would've
|
|
never got off the ground. I'm damn proud of what I did, but ashamed of
|
|
my fellow members of the Alliance. Next game, I will try to weed out
|
|
selfish people in my new alliance, and we'll see if people will listen
|
|
to me this time...
