Naw, it's pretty common, I'd think. I've seen various dudes doing it in the past. One guy only payed spy with spycicle, and always had a bound ice pun ready whenever he stabbed someone.

An early event nabbed me Accelerated Construction, and I had the 100,000 or so credits for the Bakuras High Speed Shipyards this tech gives me, so of course I splurged on it! When that completed at my homeworld(+ 200% construction speed for that colony) and combined with Akdarians' racial bonus to construxction speed(+60%), I was able to pump out colony ships like candy, gaining an insane advantage that I never let go. The rest was history :P

No. The rest was a constant zerg rush. Which is the tactic I used to win my last Endless space multiplayer game. It doesnt matter that one of your ships can destroy 10 of mine when I outnumber you 20-to-1.
Not sure that your tactics apply to DW. In DW a good ship can decimate a small, shitty fleet easily.

...Unless they have mass drivers or anything else that bypasses shields.

It's always fun to start a prewarp civilization and rush up the kinetic weapons tech tree then throw out a bunch of 'escort' class ships which are basically just an engine with a bunch of guns and some guy strapped to the top with a control panel. The pirate AI doesn't know what to do about you because they start with shields which are pretty good against most things but kinetics will kill the hell out of them.

Sure I lost 30 escorts but they're cheap and I blew up or captured every pirate base in range. :)

Ugh, I didn't realize Umbreon was a tank. Hell, I didn't think all the other Eevolutions were tanks. Still won, despite nearly losing all my team. All but Scyther, who managed to take down Umbreon, were at the same level. Espeon took down Scyther, and Noctowl, Flareon beat Typhlosion, Vaporeon beat Ampharos(barely, but still), but Victreebel somehow beat Jolteon(kept using Double Team). I don't even remember what I did with Dragonair beside killing Flareon. That was one of the hardest things I've ever seen.

I was the last person alive on my team during the boss fight. They'd gotten him down maybe 75% of his life before they all died.

I spent the next 10 to 15 minutes kiting him around the second floor of a building overlooking a courtyard. He does so much damage on this difficulty that to let him shoot you more than 5 times is to die, so all you can do is fire off a couple shots at him as he rounds the corner, then run. You can't stand still for very long because he'll either grenade you back to the stone age, cover you in clouds of nerve gas, or rush at you and carve you up like a roast with his claws. So I run, I shoot, I run, I shoot, I get clipped, I heal, I run, I reload, I shoot, I get clipped, I run, I heal....

Constantly I ran out of ammo and I'd have to leave the kiting spot and collect more, which gets really dicey since there's big open spaces to run through, the perfect place for him to light you up with his guns. I'd run out, grab my ammo, then haul ass back to the kite spot, usually with him right behind me. Being medic with a run speed boost and potent self-heals, at the cost of zero bonuses to damage, is all that kept me alive. You move slower the lower your health is, so to getting hurt at all for most any other class results in you being too slow to run from him. Being able to get back up to full speed in a matter of moments with healing is what kept me going.

A couple times while kiting he'd suddenly change direction on me (or I'd lap him more likely), and I'd have to jump out a second story window and run back to the kite spot again, usually with him chasing or chucking grenades ahead of me, which I'd have to sprint through as they started to explode.

After what felt like a half hour, but was probably closer to 10 minutes, I finally killed him with 1 last bullet. I felt like I had just run a marathon (and in terms of meters traveled, my character probably did!)

I finally killed Kematu while also keeping Lydia alive!

The battle would probably have been much, much easier without Lydia around, as I could have just unloaded all my magic. I ended up winning the fight once, then decided to reload because I killed Lydia with friendly fire.

It was definitely a challenge to overcome the fucktarded amount of damage that Kematu does with his scimitars, but I figured out how to remove him from the fight early: use an Invisiblity potion to sneak-attack him with my most powerful weapon, then run away and pop a Scroll of Fireball. It still took a few tries though, because Kematu's area is really laggy on my PC (it can't handle particle effects very well).

Skyrim.

Got a quest to clear a blockade around the docks of the Grand Vizier. I only had two ships with weapons, one was busy, the other was sitting at the Vizier's docks. The blockade doesn't start until you accept the quest. I thought it would be a single small ship. It was four large Oriental Warships. Barely got my ship out of there.

I had a half-hour to do the quest. Looking at my options for building warships, I didn't have much. Too little wood, and to build large warships I needed cannons, which I hadn't started the production of. After starting cannon production, I knew I wouldn't get even a single ship done. Then I noticed I can request auxillaries from both the Occident and Orient.

Actually, I couldn't. I spent too much Honor upgrading the Occidental fleet, and had nothing to upgrade the Oriental fleet. I quickly pushed a spectacular tournament at my home city. Got enough Honor from that to grab two large Occidental Warships, and a single large Oriental warship, and in the meantime, I got a small warship of my own built. The only hitch was that the Oriental ship spawned at the Vizier's dock, but I got it out.

I didn't think I had enough power, but I was running out of time and it take 45 minutes to refresh a tournament, and and hour for auxillaries to respawn. It was 5 against 4, but I think they had more tonnage. Then I realized the AI is godawful stupid. They went straight for one of the small ships, which I pulled away as the rest of the fleet blasted away. Mission accomplished, reward of 55 tons of cannon.

A dragon was killed with a siege crossbow.
I was manning the crossbow.
The dragon was supposed to run.
