A few weeks back Chief Fraser (#1 by far) quit playing. He left everything. He had just attacked an NPC and the debris (septillions) was floating above his heph. The #2 thru #7 players spent the next few weeks feeding on the carcass. I got about 60Q but the others got much more. One was a buddy and was able to GD a few time to block me. I was #6. Jerrico, Johnnie, Popiecat and Raphy got 10 times and more. Once Fraser disappeared I went to my home base and hit a 30 day p marker I had won. While I built ships johnnie also built. He also put a planet in my primary system, got a moon and gated it while waiting for me to come out of p mode. After building my fleet was 52q, johnnie's was 520q and Jerrico was 1200q. They had been on me for nearly 2 years killing my moons. Jerrico must have got my heph 8 times. He also wiped out all my def. Basically he was trying to make me quit. So with 2 days to go on my marker I decide to try one of Johnnie's moons. He left 500T Athena on each moon. I had 450T Athena and a bunch of fodder. I hit it and killed his fleet. He still had 9 times my fleet. Popiecat thier alliance leader asked if I would join his alliance so that this destruction would end. Later that day Jerrico and johnnie quit and deleted their planets and fleet. A few hours later Popiecat also quit. I figured we would play some cat and mouse (and probably lose) but I guess they had enough.
