MY 2123 to Col. Zsozso the adventurer.

zsozso · February 19, 2000, 12:16

I did not receive anything yet as of now. Can you resend, please ?

MichaeltheGreat · February 20, 2000, 03:31

resent just now.

Paul · February 20, 2000, 04:02

2124 to Michael

MichaeltheGreat · February 20, 2000, 07:48

2124 to Col. Zsozso

We are continuing with our policy of armed piece. Impact rovers 1 through 3 are now online, and defensive probe teams will be complete at seven bases next turn. We have no agressive intentions, but we intend to deter any others thoughts of agression.

zsozso · February 20, 2000, 18:11

2124 to Paul.

No aggressive intentions? Now, that would be a first time for MtG !

Don't tell me you are aiming for transcendence victory...

2125 to Michael

MichaeltheGreat · February 21, 2000, 06:40

MY 2125 to Zsozso.

I never (well, hardly ever) start fights, but I do finish them. Transcend or economic is fine with me. Of course, I'm much more peaceful when nobody can reach my territory with military units, as BustaMike found out in ACT005.

Paul · February 21, 2000, 15:51

2126 to Michael. And the Peacekeepers are also pleased with all those peaceful intentions. After all, we are called the Peacekeepers for a reason.

MichaeltheGreat · February 21, 2000, 20:22

When I play PK, I rename them to Peacemakers.

MY 2126 to the Colonel with the creative unit names.

2125 to Paul.

The Spartans wellcome the peaceful intentions! After all, we want to survive!

Paul · February 22, 2000, 15:12

2127 to Michael

MichaeltheGreat · February 23, 2000, 03:14

2127 to the Colonel.

Paul · February 24, 2000, 11:31

It's been over 24 hours since Michael sent the last turn to zsozso and I have still not received a new turn from zsozso. What's taking so long?

zsozso · February 24, 2000, 12:00

Sorry, I had a long and busy night...
Turn is sent to Paul now.

Spartan Security report, MY.2127
Our covert operation team has returned with some new information about the Peacekeeper empire. Unfortunately, the operation has been detected by Brother Paul, who got angry and declared vendetta upon our peaceful life-loving faction. It is imperative, that we introduce martial law, switch our productions to create more defensive units and protect our borders with military force to ensure our survival!
I call upon all civilian population to take military training and offer help in the weapon factories.

Colonel Zsozso.

Paul · February 24, 2000, 12:35

2128 to Michael

MichaeltheGreat · February 25, 2000, 07:38

We look very dimly upon the theft of technology, or other violations of factional sovereignty.

We "cordially" suggest that the Spartans offer reparations, and we hereby inform the Spartan agressors that we will not accept any attempts to conquer the Peacekeepers. If the Spartans wish to have a cooperative relationship with the UoP, we suggest that refraining from destabilizing agression would prevent the expansion of this conflict.

We are already arming ourselves to deter any agressive acts against us.

MY2128 to the reckless Colonel.

Tau Ceti · March 15, 2000, 15:51

Enigma ( hendrikv@home.com ) has now taken over Zsozso's Spartans. Hope this game gets back on track.

Enigma · March 15, 2000, 18:29

Hello guys. I am named Buddha in the game but named Enigma in these forums...

Remember I am NOT zsozso. And, I, uh, played the turn before I finished reading all the posts here. I read the posts once a while ago but that was before I got the gist of MtG's "peaceful intentions"...

*Spartan Newsflash*
After Colnel zsozso announced he wished to retire, a promising leader named Captain Buddha took the reins of the Spartan Empire. He said he disliked zsozso's "soft stance" on the Peacekeepers who are ignorant of the harsh realities of this planet.

Buddha claimed that although the probe actions of his predecessor were only a peaceful way of making sure that the Peacekeepers were defending themselves, the announcement of Vendetta upon us by the Peacekeepers will not go unpunished. The Peacekeepers and their total 0 military units must have their cities placed into the protective custody of the Spartans. A treaty or pact offered by the Peacekeepers will be accepted, as long as they promise to defend themselves in the future. A brief military soirtee was taken against a Peacekeeper border city to show them the power of Elite units. Unless the Peacekeepers immediatley announce they apologize for announcing vendetta on what was a peaceful probe action this city will be conquered by the Spartans.
Remember, we have no hostile intentions toward the people of the Peacekeeper nation, only their leader.

As far as Provost Michael and his University, the Spartans have no bones to pick with you. The Spartans intend to conduct the warfare against the Peacekeepers in an honorable way using the tenents of the Geneva convention. We will try to minimize the loss of Peacekeeper population until the evil Paul and his soft regime are disposed of. We have no contentions against the Peacekeeper people, only their corrupt soft ruler.

---out of character---
This is rather unusual behavior for me Paul, I am 99.9% builder and .1% Spartan, do not think my actions in this game point towards any tendancies when I play Morgan.
Peace.. man.

Paul · March 15, 2000, 18:46

I played my turn and sent you both some e-mails before I read this thread. Anyway, I would like to say that this vendetta was initiated by the Spartan forces and that the Peacekeepers have had nothing but peaceful intentions all along. This means that the Peacekeeper leadership considers the recent change of power in the Spartan faction a chance for peace. A peace offer from the new Spartan leadership will be accepted, but to show that we will not be pushovers a Spartan rover has been destroyed.

Enigma · March 15, 2000, 22:18

Sure, treaty accepted Paul. I was not really aware of the diplomatic situation when I had that rover attack your city. I will pay a few energy credits if you wish to make up for the loss of that trance scout.

MichaeltheGreat · March 16, 2000, 09:01

Turn 2129 sent to the new Colonel. We are maintaining a policy of heavily armed deterance until we see that the peace will hold, but have refrained from hostile action, and we will continue to do so, so long as the Spartans and Peacekeepers maintain their peace.

Enigma · March 16, 2000, 15:38

Turn sent to Paul

I apologize for the multi load message, I kept on trying to enter my password for a different game and it was about the 5th time that I told it to save when I exited. After I finally figured it out I got the multi load message.

MtG check your diplomacy screen.

Paul · March 16, 2000, 18:04

I did not receive that turn. Please send it again.

Paul · March 17, 2000, 01:47

2130 to Michael. The Peacekeepers have accepted the wise decision by the Spartan to make peace between our two factions.

MichaeltheGreat · March 17, 2000, 02:23

What's the world coming to when you can't count on your neighbors to beat each other senseless while you quietly sneak away with the game?

Oh, well.

2130 to the Colonel.

Paul · March 17, 2000, 10:55

That reminds me of a saying we have here in The Netherlands, which would be translated as "When two dogs are fighting over a bone, the third will walk away with it."

Paul · March 17, 2000, 20:39

2131 to Michael

MichaeltheGreat · March 18, 2000, 05:28

2131 to the Enlightened One.
