Yes, we had a shared forum, yes you provided snipes which were very much appreciated at the time, and I know I told you guys it was appreciated. We were thankful for the help.
However, to claim that you sniped all of them is false. I saw a lot sniped on the forum for others, but over the course of things (and I can't speak for anyone else, only myself), only 2/10 of my own trains were sniped by BiP. And even those two I also sniped myself, just to make sure. I think I even sent kixo a mail showing your snipes combined with mine and a 'thanks I think together we've covered it' or something like that. If you wanna see it I might still have the mail.
Also to claim that we would be gone if it wasn't for you back then, that stretches things just a little. Yes you sniped multiple trains - but I know I personally covered many of those with snipes of my own. So if you hadn't sniped them or your snipes failed, there was still mine to fall back on.
Yup. As soon as we saw that 2HARD seemed to be trying to get specific antisnipes in after snipes which had been sent, we stopped posting any detailed snipe information: So as an alternative, all of the known long-distance trains were sniped at least four times before I removed them from the list, to allow for possible antisnipes or snipes too small to be effective. So even on top of those BiP sent there were two or three Defy snipes as well. And even then one of those long-distance trains on Night ended up being briefly successful despite all the BiP and Defy sniping (kudos to Kile), and two against Suhrim (kudos to Deadmax and King Ragnar). 21 trains just on you and Night, huh? It really was quite an impressive attack for two months into the game; as one point of comparison, TEA's co-ordinated nobling of ANTZ's The Big Ginge two weeks earlier looks to have involved 20ish trains. Some good defending from Defy and (for that op) some invaluable help BiP as well. Shame Frostz and Vigilante didn't pass on timely information about their incomings!
