Deltaverse

Another of my hobbies is a browser based game called AstroEmpires. The concept of the game is to colonize planets, build fleets, and do research. Of course it would appeal to a bean-counter like me.

There are multiple servers for the game, and Delta is the primary one that I focus on. I'm in a guild called GRITS. We bounce back and forth between being the first and second ranked guild on the server. It's usually pretty peaceful on Delta, but things have been heating up for the past two months, and they are just about to boil over. Two of our allies started fighting in our backyard, and a nightmare that dragged in almost all of our allies ensued. We stepped in a put a stop to it about a month ago, but now it's started up again.

WMD which is our closest ally is fighting 5555, which used to be a good ally, but they have been disrespecting us alot lately. 5555 started calling in other guilds from outside our territory, so we moved in to stop those other guilds from interfering. In retaliation, 5555 attacked our fleets and has apparently declared war on us. The funny thing is that our guildleader doesn't want us to fight them. I believe that he is afraid we will look like a bully if we attack them. I say smack them down and then sort that out later, but that's just me. I'm interested to see how this turns out.
