So just like that I am back in the game and at first glance I see UCorp have numbers well beyond ours. I actually became worried for a moment. Would this be like the glory days or was this just a reenactment of Little Big Horn in Space? I became more excited as I watched a few of the competent UCorp members successfully ninja fleet in against us. It was some good moves!Mr. Malachite, there is so much winning to be done in Typhoon. It will be just like old times, just like glorious servers past. We're fighting some real baddies this time.
Unfortunately, beyond some initial good investments reporting of good UCorp valuations was really just fake news. Sad. After failed launch tables in to our galaxy and a complete lack of cohesive defense in response to our counter invasion, they decide to hit us where it really hurts: by disbanding?
Honestly it might have worked if there was some sort of unified theory and execution, but rather than this:
they were actually this:
Take this fine chap for example: http://typhon.astroempires.com/profile.aspx?player=1969 Formally known as [UCorp]"Man with No Name" he can now rightfully say he is Man with No Fleet, Man with No Bases, Man with No Income.

But after derbing his entire fleet, and having his bases pillaged, was this brave individual ready to stop showing us who's boss? No. He pleads with us to accept him. I actually came close to accepting him and made an argument for the guy, but that's because I'm a softy. I tell him that I won't hit any more bases until diplomacy runs its course and I leave his TRs intact so recovery will be easier. In return he sends me this:
Leadership says "Stick him in AV." Fine, he's gotta prove himself but he did alright up to this point so he'll bounce back I think and become a good ally to work with. Then he send me this when I ask more about his history:Manco Reply Save Block Report 25 Jul 2018, 14:55:36
Be relax I will not attack your fleet next 12 hours
If you don't want me after 12 h I will try to join other guild
See I have gaps in my history so I had to ask about this. Apparently Snoz is a little *beep* so he became questionable. Still we had him apply but politics takes time. Later in the day I get this from him and we have an exchange.Manco Reply Save Block Report 25 Jul 2018, 18:46:06
Last server , Lynx , I started in Aurki and Snoz's guild , who merged with Burgess and Merlin's guild [Hi]
I made the JG after 2 weeks and I gave the account to Snoz
Little *beep* Boy Manco: I knew you will not appreciate my good will
Magnanimous Mr. Malachite: I actually do. Please dont say aggressive things right now. I am talking with Merlin and mr black right now. I am literally the only one arguing for you so please dont shoot down good will.
Little *beep* Boy Manco: I am under attack right now. [NATO] Mr. Lemon Chiffon 4 0:22:27 143,500
Magnanimous Mr. Malachite: *asks Lemon not to hit which he kindly does but def didn't have to while talks are going on* I am releasing a planet as a sign of good faith.
Time Passes
Little *beep* Boy Manco: 16 h and I am without a guild I understand I am not desirable
Magnanimous Mr. Malachite: Man at a certain point it is not me that presses the button. I was told you would be accepted so that's all I was waiting for. Its been less than a day and I am taking you from primary target to ally. Some patience would be good.
Little *beep* Boy Manco: I will downgrade my Economy at 0 and I will attack any profitable targets until I will quit the game
Magnanimous Mr. Malachite: Man I am beginning to regret that I ever vouched for you. I'm sorry I can't just snap my fingers and make relations go quicker.
Little *beep* Boy Manco: Remember you didn't say thank you to me when I gave you a chance to develop . I had 170 000 fleet and you all 3 Mr.'s had no more than 100 000 fleet
Magnanimous Mr. Malachite: You know what, I didn't even get so much as a thank you from you for the work I've put in for you today. Get derbed.
Little *beep* Boy Manco: No dude , you engaged in talking with me for your interest only
I knew at the beginning you multi account You are an hypocrite of crap
Magnanimous Mr. Malachite: *I send him the entire transcript of my discussions on his behalf* Oh I forgot one thing. I left your TR intact on purpose so you wouldn't lose all your econ you idiot. Now you've pissed me off and I'm glad to fight. You would have lost the fight anyway dummy. My guildmates actually help me out. What did you do? Fly around while spark and Storm did nothing? Nice team work.
Little *beep* Boy Manco: You will see who is an idiot. Next days .... I play only for you
Magnanimous Mr. Malachite: You're just an idiot who can't admit he was wrong. Or did I type that whole transcript in 3 minutes? You don't threaten me at all. Even if you manage to hit a base or two you slow me down by 48 hours tops. I. Don't. Care.
It's at this point that we coordinate a hit on all remaining bases, ya know, with teamwork.
Little *beep* Boy Manco: I don't care too if I will fight with your guild We all are idiots because we lose our time to shoot pixels !
Magnanimous Mr. Malachite: *Uh oh here it comes. I can feel a puss move coming* The difference is that I do it with friends whom I have meaningful relationships and conversations with. I was prepared to invite you in to that and you spat in my face. You are alone in the woods. Wolves closing in now.
Little *beep* Boy Manco: Yea idiots in a group and a idiot single , you are right
Magnanimous Mr. Malachite: *Disturbance in the Wuss Force growing stronger*
Little *beep* Boy Manco: I will quit from this idiot game Enjoy from it you .....
AND THERE IT IS! The old one two punch of telling me what a tough guy you are and how good that counter is going to be, to disbanding all your bases and bravely quitting!
So a day later I get ANOTHER message from our brave underdog from UnderCorp
Little *beep* Boy Manco: Don't sleep all night .... shoot pixels ..... you smart dude
Magnanimous Mr. Malachite: Wait you disbanded but didn't actually delete so you could what? Send me stupid DMs? You should change your name to Eurotrash In Space.
So this is what UCorp has to offer? A group of people so collectively incompetent that they can't even beg correctly? Umbrella Corporation I have a suggestion for you to change your slogan. I sure do hope you like it.
