- The :-* is reserved for hitting a carrier with plasma. One uses one *
- for every army.
-
- Note of style:
- One is not allowed to post SMACK!, DOOSH! etc for a carrier who has
- succeeded in thier mission even parlially (dropped 2 armies on a
- non-agri, etc.).
- If you have been gloating an a carrier DOES manage to take a planet
- under you, he is allowed to post a DOOSH! message or :-* face after the
- planet's name (Romulus :-***).
- If you are killed by a player phasering your own plasma in your face
- she may post !KCAMS.
- It is in poor taste for a base to post a SMACK! message for a cloaker,
- although for non-cloakers, it's OK.
- DOOSH! messages for less than 3 armies are pathetic. For three or
- four, they still show insecurity.
- One should only post army motel messages for players who you fear will
- really take you planets. Posting a message about an actual amy hotel is
- kicking someone when they'e down. I true army hotel will pick up and
- run arround for a long time, hopefully calling for escort, being too
- afraid to drop. A true army hotel is someone who you would prefer if
- they pick up than if they left the armies scattered on random planets.
