I needed to grow, shame be damned!<br>		By day 6, both Rury and I were pretty firmly the top 2 attackers, being larger, stronger, and a higher population than any of the others by a decent margin, but we just wanted to grow. However the landscape was one of very few targets. Not many attackers were in range, and for right now, the explorers had sufficient defense. There was a spirit who just kept sending though. He was coming back into range, and even though I had hit him twice already, I didn’t mind trying for a third. I needed to grow, shame be damned!<br>


	We got updated ops, calculated out how much he could do with a wall pump and ratio release, and sent. I didn’t count on an offensive spec release though. It never had even crossed my mind. The guy was sending damn near every 12 hours and had already been hit like 5 times, there’s ''NO WAY'' he would release op to bounce me. But alas…<br>		We got updated ops, calculated out how much he could do with a wall pump and ratio release, and sent. I didn’t count on an offensive spec release though.
