They're almost always marked by somebody getting bored and blowing up the world or somebody manifesting a held-over grudge from a past game and nuking the other country at the first opportunity. There's also always one country that grabs about 1000 sectors to map them out and then never develops them. And usually some real lame wimp that has, say, 30 sectors, 8K civilians (as opposed to the 80K of the 1st place one), is only about 25% efficient, and is proclaiming how "well" he is doing. Ah, humour. Such a country is usually the first one to be invaded, since he tends to leave his capital on the water. Annexation -- what a deal! Keep posted for developments -- someone will get nuked tomorrow... -Mike genrad!mit-eddie!zzz (UUCP) ZZZ%MIT-OZ@MIT-MC (ARPA)
