Wikileaks just published a video documenting the secret "PowerPlay Cycle 87" strategy briefing held by Zachary Hudson (in disguise for security reasons). It took place at an undisclosed location, supposedly in the morning hours of 26. January 3303.

00:00 - 00:03 Grom has broken through in several systems.

00:04 - 00:05 They took Taiocha, San Muss

00:05 - 00:07 and advance on 27 B1 Cygni now.

00:08 - 00:12 This puts two of our control systems at serious threat.

00:12 - 00:15 We are worried our opposition may fail.

00:17 - 00:19 We didn't see any EG pilots,

00:19 - 00:21 our dominating lead in Cygni is beyond doubt.

00:24 - 00:26 Mr. President ...

00:27 - 00:28 EG pilots ...

00:31 - 00:33 Eg pilots grinded in their private group all week.

00:34 - 00:36 Grom just dropped a giant merit bomb.

00:53 - 00:58 Those that believe PP should be played in open are allowed to leave the room.

01:13 - 01:15 How do they dare?

01:15 - 01:17 EG pilots have the advantage and still they hide?

01:18 - 01:23 Is it not enough for them to have better triggers, more members and be turmoil-proof?

01:25 - 01:28 So this is what it has come to already.

01:29 - 01:31 Calling themselves a combat power!

01:31 - 01:34 They monitor the progress we do in open,

01:34 - 01:37 while they pile up merits to counter us at zero risk.

01:37 - 01:40 They are nothing more than a bunch of skulking opportunists.

01:40 - 01:42 But they want to relax and not be griefed by

01:42 - 01:46 Skulking opportunists! And Grom is a traitor too!

01:46 - 01:48 Mr. President, FDev said all modes are equal.

01:48 - 01:52 You don't even believe that yourself.

01:53 - 01:54 Grom is without honour.

01:56 - 01:57 Sandro said it himself,

01:57 - 02:00 playing PP in open puts you at a disadvantage.

02:00 - 02:03 FDev just don't have the balls to do anything about it.

02:04 - 02:08 How can you play a mode all about fighting other player groups,

02:08 - 02:13 without ever showing your face?

02:14 - 02:16 My predecessors should have acted years ago,

02:17 - 02:21 and executed this dictator, he even even looks like Stalin!

02:27 - 02:29 I never founded a private group,

02:30 - 02:34 I used open play, yes open play

02:34 - 02:36 to conquer all of Hudsonia.

02:41 - 02:42 "Freedom among the stars"

02:43 - 02:47 They probably mean free of any sense for fair competition.

02:48 - 02:53 And freedom to be the private group army of the Empire.

02:54 - 02:56 And what became of Imperial honour?

02:56 - 02:59 Since when do they approve of this behaviour?

03:00 - 03:02 Whenever they need a convenient ally?

03:04 - 03:07 Don't worry Felicia, at least Imps still play in open.

03:14 - 03:16 EG pilots don't even see the problem.

03:19 - 03:23 There is no fun in fighting an invisible enemy.

03:25 - 03:26 No fun at all.

03:31 - 03:33 PP is at a new low.

03:40 - 03:46 But if you think I'll open up a private group because of that, you are severely mistaken.

03:46 - 03:49 I'd rather pacify myself.
