ENTRY TWENTY-SIX
Let us now explore further, the lies and propaganda of the Consortium.
Here we have a classic case of Consortium hypocrisy, in brazen fashion. They brag about rushing out their empire's largest warship, ever, the frigate Shockwave, even as they criticize Darkseid for building the very same class of vessel that they, themselves, are building. This is clearly a case of the pot calling the kettle black, in the words of the long-extinct human race of Planet Earth fame, from a bygone era.
The Consortium government's memory is also hyper-selective and conveniently short. Here is a recent communique that the Consortium government sent to the Minions of Darkseid:
You received the following message from SP Consortium:
We hope you enjoy your petty victories. Tomorrow is
another day, and we are putting our shipyards to the
test in building a "peacemaker" class dreadnaught to
restore security in Sector 12. We urge you to make
peace with your maker.
*** End of Message ***
Note how they boast proudly and arrogantly about building a dreadnaught, even as they clearly lack the technology to do so. More Consortium lies revealed for what they are - pure galactic tripe!
How desperately - and sloppily - the Consortium government grasps at straws to distract from their incompetence and their treachery. The Tilkatan ship entered a known war zone. Accordingly, it was forfeit, as a spoil of war, under longstanding and widely accepted rules of civilized warfare by many species.
No one has played the Consortium for fools. They are fools!! They are hopelessly tangled in their ill-conceived web of deception intended to confuse and mislead other species across the galactic rim.
Is there no end to Consortium hypocrisy? They have played this strategy many times in other games, they assert. And what stopped them in this game from using the strategy that they seek to falsely assign to us? Nothing, of course. Their grand object is to distract other species from actually scrutinizing the lies that pour without ceasing from Consortium government figureheads, by tossing up an endless smokescreen of criticism of Darkseid. Once more, as with the building of frigates, it is OK for the Consortium to do such things, but other species should not. Darkseid is not subservient to the likes of these Consortium demons!
It is evident on its face that I am an experienced PBM gamer. Else, why would I have started this website? Once again, the Consortium seeks to erect strawman arguments, and then demonize Darkseid for having the courage to stand up to - and reveal - this nest of liars that is the Consortium government.
Let us now explore further, the lies and propaganda of the Consortium.

He has projected large amounts of force-concentration and demonstrated high tech levels. He also mastered the art of "hijacking" the Tilkatian colonizer. He knows very well how to play this game, and is very comfortable with setting up his orders.

Any deficiencies in economic development can be more than made up for in the pillaging of entire homeworlds. His hijacking of a mere transport netted over 700 economic units. I have played this strategy many times in other games. The only way to stop him is to take advantage of his over-extension now, before he can consolidate power.

But he is certainly an experienced PBM gamer, and I have a strong suspicion that his game log was designed at least in part to lull his competitors into a false sense of security. And it worked. Bastard.
