Man Overboard
On the bridge of the once proud Subhmarine Captain Paisley mops his sweaty brow and stares dolefully at the dials and gauges flickering madly before his eyes.
'How could this happen?' he whinges plaintively. 'The Sandman Barometer shows that our rate of descent is steadily increasing. Pretty soon the pressure differential will become so great that bilge release valve will buckle and seawater will rush in through our waste system drowning us all. We're ****ed.'
Suddenly a Siren sounds. The bridge is bathed in rythmic flashes of red light.
AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RAH, AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RAH
The startling noise snaps Admiral "Comical" Ali to consciousness. His dreams of lush, green pastures - all hemmed in with white straw fences - fade swiftly. He turns to Captain Paisley, confusion apparent on every inch of his sleepy features.
'God dammit Paisley, report man. What the hell is happening?'
'It's not good sir,' came the grim reply. 'The Fencit Valve on the bilge system is failing, we're starting to take on water. It's only a matter of time before it collapes completely and we're all drowned in our own shit sir!' He spoke in slow, even tones for the Admiral but it was hard to tell if he was being understood. "Comical" Ali had always been blessed with the ability to ignore the obvious. After all, why else would you use a Submarine metaphor in space?
'No matter Captain,' came the judicious reply. 'We've recruited the finest seamen in the universe. Only the most honourable, the most loyal, the most dedicated sail with us. We will persevere in our journey to the Fenced Off Land and our children will grow up in peace and prosperity, never to know the terror of being roided, never to.......'
A pointed cough cut the monologue short. A crewmember shuffled awkwardly forward, clutching at a printout with sweaty palms.
'Sir, report's just in sir,' he mumbled lowly, the rank smell of fear clinging to every word. 'Some of the rats have started jumping off the ship sir. Word's got out that we're going down sir. Apparently the writing is on the fence sir.'

The story is all wrong. There was no mention of me. However a galaxy mate asked if I was "A crewmember shuffled awkwardly forward" and I say to the author, That is nothing like me! Before this story goes to print, change it to "A crewmember staggered awkwardly forward." Or I can just assume your story is completely fictional

Re: Man Overboard
One wanker leaves and you think everyone is bailing out. I thought the new Alliance scoring system was meant to stop this from having an impact on an alliances overall score but clearly not. Subh will always remain a threat to an ally

Someone would take him?
Surely any decent alliance would reject anyone who pulled the shit he's done this round? I know I'd immediately antivouch someone who did that.

I've seen eXi players threaten to quit if he joined there and bwtmc himself says it won't happen. Subh and 1up can be ruled out. I presume Omen may take him? They're on path to finishing second, it would help their cause considerably.

Yes but I'd imagine the value gain from a top-gal 4500-roid planet is better than nothing.
And ofc all the hostile fleets he will send at their enemies

There's been no contact towards Omen by Elviz, and we have no intention whatsoever taking him aboard. This has been discussed, and even if the idea of meeting Kargool in real life sounds good and the opportunity to be able to drink a mix of his piss and my beer makes me excited, I don't think that'd be of enough reward to pick him up.
