The game started a little after 8:00 pm; with the away team (Reagan's
Agents) choosing Roms, and the home team (Team Turnover), headed by
our illustrious captain home1, selecting Feds.

The feds got off to a quick start, capitalizing on our 10-4 player
advantage.  The game was then briefly held up while Reagan's Agents
complained about this, people called for a restart and embittered
people bagged out.  Eventually, teams were more or less evened out,
and the game restarted.

Progress was uneven throughout the game, as people joined and quit on
both sides.  Neither base was ogged until late in the game.  It is
apparent that the Turnovers' base, Wreck, is pretty much the best at
basing, even better with one hand tied behind his back than Grim
Reaper, Balton and Streaker put together on a good day.  He racked up
some 90+ kills before gloriously ogging the Agents' base at Romulus,
destroying it and several other ships in the massive explosions that
ensued.

After the Agents' base died, the Turnovers were quickly able to take
two of their remaining 3 planets, leaving them Romulus in order to keep
*some* challenge in the game.  Finally, it was secretly decided among
the Turnovers to intentionally not take Rom, to make the Agents feel
better after their horrific pounding.

Team Turnover is obviously a superior team; we could easily beat Akira
if they dared to face us, even if they were to ditch that wimp Akira
and replace him with that serious dude Streaker.  The horsemen of the
apocolypse blanche before our onslaught.  Even Team Penn itself must
give way to the volume of our mouths.
