There were many people invloved, but only 3/4 actually played. Even fewer had major roles in the outcome of the game. But there are the few who didn't do much, but did change the game, in ways most people never recognized. There will also be some people who didn't get all the credit they deserved in the previous story.. =========------ SRE II ------========= There were many Unsung Heroes in this game. Some good, some bad. (It's arguable which side they represented.. :) The first I can think of off the top of my head is a fellow named BountyHunter. Yeah, he's been mentioned before in a major way, but he's one of the most valuable players in the game. His only job was to infiltrate the workings of MaceLand. And that he did, helping the Geneva Alliance bring Mace to a quick fall. He went on to infiltrate the future Dark Alliance, before near brushes with utter destruction, which he recovered from. Next up on my list would be Lloyd's Place. He really never did anything. I can think of only 1 post by him, and a few attacks. Nothing much. The key to Lloyd was that he was attacked. Noone within the Alliance ventured to help him, and as a result, the Dark Alliance thought they could get away with more raids. If the Alliance had more quickly retaliated to the attack, the Dark Alliance could have quite possibly disbanded, thinking they would never mount any attacks without a big fight coing back at them. Two other people, who also recieved mention, were Lil Red and Jed's Solar Empire. These two played pretty major roles, but they recieved little mention in the story. These two were the 2/3 of the attack squad on Mace that got planets quick. Eventually, they would go on to be recognized as major forces, until the Dark Alliance realized most Geneva fighters were afraid to fight. These two also supplied lots of monetary aid which was siphoned to many players, and resulted in a quicker end to the war. They also mounted offensive attacks of their own, without which the war would have been a loss to the Geneva Alliance. Hydroxinia is a mystery. When he first came intot he SRE Galaxy, he joined the Geneva Alliance. But, after not fighting or participating in Geneva Alliance activities, most people forgot about him, and he became neutral. Then he claimed to be part of the Dark Alliance, and that move caused a little fright in the Geneva Alliance, becuase his size was comprable to that of Lil Red (At the time he jkoined at least.) He never did more damage than that of the psychological impact on the Geneva Alliance BroncoBuster, played a minor role as well. Originally part of a plot that would have brought certain people into power, the plot fell through. He was supposed to grow quickly, and amass support from the Geneva Alliance. Then he would use his new wealth and turn on the Alliance, hoping to split it down the middle, leaving it open for people standing aside. This was all before the Dark Alliance, however, and noone but the people invloved knew about it. But, he couldn't get the Alliance to support him, and he just became a sitting duck who did nothing. But soon after the Dark Alliance came about, he had the opurtunity to infiltrate it. And that he did, providing 2 pieces of VERY important info. But after that, he became a favorite target of the Dark Alliance, and as they directed anger at him (He was then just a setup), the Geneva Alliance built up the armies, and prepared for attack. Micro Maniac, who appeared late inthe game, was probably the most wealthy player in the game. The reason I say this, is in which the speed he joined the Dark Alliance, got money and created a suitable army. He used it to get lots of wealth, and that he did. He did it so quickly, that I feel if left unharmed, he would've taken over the game. But the Geneva Alliance moved in quick, stripping off half of his posessions. IncrediBite's story is similiar to Micro's, except she was more of a threat. Getting an army, VERY quickly (and keeping it as well), IncrediBite became a major military threat that lost very little, and really wasn't destroyed until the reset. There were more minor people, but there names escape me. Most are classified as 'civilian' and belonged to the Geneva Alliance. The Alliance's job was to protect empires like them, and it wasn't done effectively until the end of the game. Unfortunately, so many people played (And were deleted) many people may have had insider roles unknown to me. I was simply inside the Geneva Alliance, and probably had more knowledge available to me about the Dark Alliance than anyone else, as *I* commisioned 3 spies, and got many a reports about it. Keep looking for more stories about the SRE game, as I have planned 2 more, 1 of which is strictly about the secrets I, UltraEmpire, never told anyone,t hat could've devestated the game, if they were followed through. The second will be a memoirs book, compiled by me, but with quotes from ALL players.. ========--- By: Josh Renaud
