| Congrats to Lothmorg for taking 3rd. |

Wow. I guess I should keep a closer eye on these things. 
Thanks!

Congrats on 3rd, Lothmorg! And thanks to all for helping me get my account set up, straighted out, and all. I have appreciated the sense of community and brotherhood that marks the Galactic Guardians from the first time I encountered them, and that's what makes me proud to now be a member! (Oooh, I love the sound of that! And I like seeing the Guardians crest on my sigline, as well!  )
So, it's official, DATarbell has re-entered the Galaxy as Major Dallas, and aligned with The Galactic Guardians.
So, here's my 'gift' to the Guardians, a David Letterman-style top ten list. Enjoy!
Top Ten Reasons to Annihilate the Yor
10. They taste like chicken. (Admittedly this requires a very long BBQ process to tenderize them and large quantities of BBQ sauce. And even then they have a noticeable 'motor oil' aftertaste!)
9. Prevents them from making sequels to "Ishtar," "Krull," "Hercules in New York," and other thinly-disguised movies they have subjected us to as part of their cultural warfare.
8. Dolph Lundgren is a Yorian.
7. You've heard the saying, "What's mine is Yor's"? Well, sharing isn't all it's cracked up to be. What's mine is mine and I intend for it to stay that way!
6. They invented disco and, yes I know that disco is dead, but still, somebody needs to be punished! (Ed. note: Their alleged involvement in rap is currently under investigation.)
5. The broadcast signal for "The Jerry Springer Show" has been traced to the Yorian homeworld.
4. Doh! They're the Yor! (Besides, what else are you going to do with a Greldonizer?)
3. The Men in Black are too busy and, well, somebody's got to do it. ("Did you ever flashy-thing me?" "No" "I ain't playing, K. Did you ever flashy-thing me?")
2. The Yor invented Teletubbies--'nuff said.
1. For Honor and Justice! (Ed. note: This is the only empirically valid reason for annihilating the Yor and therefore the only one found acceptable to members of the Galactic Guardians Empire.)

Ditto!
A whopping 4,401 mpts for that one - I now need another 50,004 points to get on the first page 
And only 901,062 points to catch Greldon

| Are you sure they haven't got any more planets hiding? Did you get the "The Yor have finally succumbed to the might of..." cut scene? If not, then they still exist somewhere. |

Nope, they are dust, although they hung around for a turn after they died. (I've seen that before after a TS Alpha). It's like the game doesn't check to see if they are dead until the end of the following turn, even though the message gets triggered during this turn. Then the tribute never goes away. I am going back to a previous save and play it out again to see if I get the same result.
Thanks for responding,
GH

It's official! Welcome to the Guardians Major Dallas! Now go get those Yor!

Hey Greldon! Stop in over at the Pirate's thread. It seems all our BOOMS have undone the Meta itself.

OK, one more little contribution from me. Now I'm off to watch the opening day game between the Red Sox and the Orioles.
Good night all!

Tried the lend/lease program with the Yor again with the same result. The Yor die, but the tribute remains. I suspect that the problem is the following: The Yor worlds are out of range for my attack, so I have to buy a starbase along with the attack fleet. Then I have to save and reload the game to get it to reconize that I am now in range. I will try to build my own SB and see if the result is different...

Thank you everyone!

Lothmorg: You are Number 6.
Alex: I am not a number! I am a free man!
