turns of ACT004 game of Apolyton SMAC tournament - Page 8

TigToad · March 6, 2000, 20:29

The turn is to the PK..

the original question wasn't why you attacked me, I expected that part.. it was why you had it in for me specifically...I'm such a happy-go-lucky capitalist pig.

I've sent turn 55 to the Hive, though I'm not sure if this board is alive.

Blunderdog · March 6, 2000, 22:59

Holy cow, I missed all that discussion until just now.

I must agree that a three-person game is just asking for trouble. Someone is going to get ye olde shaft no matter what. In our little game, given the distribution of the factions, I'd say that the events so far have been 95 percent predictable. The Hive wouldn't win a race to transcendance, so they must attack. Morgan doesn't want to fight, so he's got to make nice with somebody. Hive's out, so that leaves, um, the Peacekeepers.

I truly hope that both of you are still enjoying the game. If it's not fun, let's stop.

TigToad · March 7, 2000, 02:13

Ah, its still fun. I need to know how its going to end. Tig

Garth Vader · March 7, 2000, 19:43

Turn to Morgan.

Yeah it's still fun. Since you are back looking at this Bd I'd like to ask you a question. Before Morgan built the Empath Guild did you tell him about my sudden increase in military building right after I got impact weapons? It shouldn't affect your current security situation, and I am curious.

Tig, if you watch B5 you will know how it will end. In Fire

TigToad · March 8, 2000, 03:28

Turn is onto the Hive. Hey, congrats you got a free Impact rover to kill..

I mis-moved one of my units. Ah well, such are the spoils of war. Nice force you have moving through, btw.. I especially like the two formers.

As for warning, not really. He'd told me you were building military, but you're the Hive.. i was expecting that. Honestly, we went a lot longer without war than I thought we would.

Wealth is starting to hurt me.. my moral is sucking. Yours isn't. But I can't give up that +1 energy per square.. I just can't...

Tig

BTW_ I'm a _Huge_ B5 fan..have the whole series on tape, all the movies and the Crusades. Awesome.

Oh I was looking at the board, just in the wrong place. See, I bookmarked the bottom of page 4 and didn't notice we went to 5. I feel like a character in Spinal Tap.

Don't recall the extent of the information passed on about your impact speeder buildup, but Morgan was apprised of the situation. Wouldn't do the U.N. any good if Morgan got caught with his pants down, so to speak.

On to other news ... U.N. is looking for a new naval commander. Commodore Gilligan just isn't cutting it, and has been dismissed (Skipppperrrr!). Anyone who can differentiate warships from intelligence teams strongly considered.

Turn sent to Hive.

Garth Vader · March 8, 2000, 19:42

Turn to Morgan.

I was wondering where those mind worms of yours were, now I know. They are dead.

I considered an earlier war, but I wanted impact weapons and the command nexus first.

TigToad · March 8, 2000, 23:20

Turn is back to the PK... Tig

Blunderdog · March 9, 2000, 02:54

Turn sent to the Hive.

Garth Vader · March 9, 2000, 21:49

Turn to Morgan.

TigToad · March 10, 2000, 01:57

Today from Morgan/TigToad HQ came word that the Hive has been driven out of all southern cities that once belonged to our beloved empire. It is believed that gains will soon be made in the island-continental land war now that our war is back to only one front. CEO TigToad was quoted as saying "This was just the first step in the long process of teaching the misguided Yang a thing or two about damaging good business. The CEO had no comment however when reporters pressed him for information on the rumors that the Hive were developing planets first aircraft.

Turn passed to Hive.

Garth Vader · March 10, 2000, 22:53

Turn to Morgan.

We were actually quite surprised our southern outpost lasted as long as it did, since we don't have any control of the sea.

TigToad · March 10, 2000, 23:36

Actually I left it around long enough for the PK and I to get a tech out of it with probes first.. but it was tough taking it until I got missle units.

Tig

Blunderdog · March 11, 2000, 04:39

Turn sent to Hive.

Garth Vader · March 11, 2000, 14:32

Turn to Morgan

The rumors are true. The Hive would like to announce the creation of the Hive Imperial Air Force and the commencement of operation Flaming Globe, the liberation of our eastern continent from Morgan's tyrannical grasp.

TigToad · March 11, 2000, 19:48

Turn to the PK..

---

Associated Planetary Press: Citizens started active protests today opposing the war with the Hive. CEO TigToad couldn't be reached for comment.

Blunderdog · March 12, 2000, 23:56

Hmm, PK hasn't seen the file as of Sunday evening. Resend? Thanks.

TigToad · March 13, 2000, 04:37

Turn was re-sent. Tig

Blunderdog · March 13, 2000, 15:56

Back on track. Turn 60 sent to Hive.

I'm going to be unavailable to play starting Thursday and lasting through Monday. Plan accordingly.

Marty

Garth Vader · March 13, 2000, 19:48

Turn to Morgan.

Ironically I am away that weekend as well, except I will have better internet access and a copy of SMAC and was looking foreward to showing my friend our game. Oh well.

TigToad · March 14, 2000, 01:20

Turn is off to the PK... you can still show your friend our game..just hold your turn from wednesday and don't play it until you are with your friend...not like you'll slow the game down..

Tig

Blunderdog · March 14, 2000, 03:04

Turn is back to the Hive.

Enigma · March 14, 2000, 19:35

I have been lurking around this thread for a while, it was really interesting when Garth Vader launched the attack, and all the "in character" posts make it much more interesting. But now that there is no fighting the excitement for lurkers such as myself isn't as high as it was.

Solution: Start a war

Make it bloody with nasty atrocities so you can all post outrage at each other's actions.

Misotu · March 14, 2000, 19:42

Enigma, you should be ashamed of yourself.

I only come here to read the nice short posts about peaceful coexistence

I appreciate the lurking, so here is some good stuff.

Hive Official announcement

It is with great glory and pride that I would like to announce the capture of Morgan Industries, and an nearby base. We have now added the Human Genome project and the Empath Guild to our collection of projects. The bases were captured due to the cooperation of the Hive Imperial Air Force and our brave minions on the ground. This day shall now be declared a national holiday. Curfew shall be extended by 2 hours. Pieces of Morgan's headquarters will be paraded through selected cities soon, ask your political officer for details.

On a dissipointing note, Morgan himself escaped capture we suspect to the southern continent. Don't worry citizens he will be captured and tried for his crimes against the Hive.

TigToad · March 15, 2000, 03:09

It is with the deepest of sorrow that it be known that today we lost Morgan Industries as well as one of our other major supply centers and chief producer of war material. We expect our government will live on for the short term by having moved to our massive production facilities in the southern continent, but as of today we can be effectively considered a defeated people. Hopefully what support we can lend to the war effort on part of the Peacekeepers will help take down the unfortunate terrorizing menace that is the Hive, however we are concerned for all the good people involved.

I have failed as your CEO and leader. I just wish my apologize or death could ease the suffering of the good people that once prospered in this land.

CEO TigToad.

Blunderdog · March 15, 2000, 04:23

Turn sent to the Hive.

A press release from U.N. Headquarters was issued in response to the fall of Morgan Industries and the Hive's "acquisition" of the Empath Guild. Here is the release, reproduced in full:

Aieeeee!
