We gassed one Caretaker and one Usurper city. Unfortunately, couldn't quite eradicate them. Go get them Henry

2185 sent to the Foreman.

HenryMad · October 23, 2000, 17:44

Had some problems in eradicating mindworms and spore launchers near my coastal base southward. Now that the territory has been cleaned I could come back to my friendly Aliens (hehehe !)

Misotu · October 23, 2000, 21:55

Gassed a further Usurper base this turn. Otherwise, all was quiet. The Gaians are happy to announce the completion of the Network Backbone, a remarkable project which has enabled us to adopt a new, Cybernetic model for our society.

Eradicated a Usurper base. The Gaians have summoned the Council and proposed that we should vote to increase the income from our Pacts for the benefit of all the human factions on Planet. We hope that our pact brothers will support this initiative ...

2187 to Lady Misotu

I didn't see anything about a vote. Will it pop up at me or does my "computer automation" make the vote for me?

Misotu · October 24, 2000, 21:17

I don't think it has reached you yet. At least, I hope that's the explanation. If it isn't, and if you've played the next turn and the council vote didn't happen, there will be a number of Gaian diplomats who will find themselves in the mindworm nurseries.

Temporarily

Misotu · October 25, 2000, 13:23

All quiet in Gaialand. We thank our pact brothers for supporting the vote for increased trade. Our military is resting this turn, and will resume attacks on the Usurpers next turn.

Eradicated a Usurper base. 2189 sent to the Foreman.

Misotu:

Your post beat mine again. I wonder if I will get the turn back again tonight. I will check later! Please leave a costal Usurper base close to me so that I can probe/infiltrate their datalinks. Will start cruiser probe team next turn.

HenryMad:

Which aliens are bothering you (or bothering you most)?

Misotu · October 26, 2000, 22:52

Big CanHack:

No problem, the bases I've been working on are closer to Drone territory. I will send you the map again so you can see, but you have plenty to choose from

Misotu · October 27, 2000, 20:27

Nothing much to report, except that you will get a double-load message. My mouse packed up *again* and I don't understand why, I've only loaded the game a couple of times today, far fewer than usual.

Sorry. But nothing changed. And we're well past the stage where we're popping pods etc. No attacks made or received this turn either.

HenryMad · October 28, 2000, 09:12

Damn, those Usurpers are really bothering me !

Turn to BigCanHack.

Misotu · October 28, 2000, 23:19

A quiet year ... our military is resting up ready for more attacks on the Usurpers.

A further Usurper base was destroyed, while Gaian researchers discovered a number of Secrets. We begin to suspect that there is a key to this world ...

2193 to the Foreman.

HenryMad · October 31, 2000, 10:52

Damn, we are not performing well right now. Our growth rate has been lowered over the past few turns.
Need to recover fast and to expand somewhere else. Maybe we have to try invading Usurper's territory.

2194 to Misotu

Misotu only has 5 techs to go before Ascent. Can anything be done but blissfull acceptance of the inevitable. I doubt it. But it may be fun talking about.

Mis:

If I get caught probing you, what should my reponse be on the menu: continue pact, treaty, or vendetta?

Big_CanHack

Misotu · October 31, 2000, 18:06

The Gaians are cut to the quick. Surely our friends would not abandon us at this late stage? Particularly not when we are fighting the Aliens together?

sob!

Friend CanHack, I think the probe response thing doesn't depend on whether you get caught or not - the screen should always come up because it's a bug. The screen is actually meant for the victim, not the prober

Normally I would always insist on the vendetta option. But we are close allies - if you wish to experiment with your probe team at this point, I will allow you to maintain the pact provided that you inform me what you did where, and the result (because I'd be interested too

)

HenryMad · November 1, 2000, 11:07

Damn, what a stupid !
I didn't notice that Caretakers are invading my land: I was so involved in planning an attack/invasion on the Usurpers bases! My friends, I'm performing really bad !

2195 to Misotu.

Pactmate HenryMad:

Great diversionary tactic. Give away one base to the caretakers to make Misotu think you are building you military for defensive purposes, then ...

Pactmate Misotu:

My enhanced probe is heading for you lower right city (at the bottom of your island). I plan on: 1. Infiltrate (will not bring up screen), 2. steal tech and blame on HenryMad (if I'm successful, I don't think screen will come up, but if not ... thanks for allowing the pact to stand. 3. steal ec, or destroy facility, just to see odds with alg enhancement against the HSA.

Misotu · November 1, 2000, 16:10

That's OK Henry, it's only a minor setback. I'm sure you can handle them!

Friend CanHack ... sounds cool, but I think you may not get the chance to do all of those, unless you have several probes. After each action, it returns you to your nearest base - so pick the one you most want to know about first!

Edited to add: BTW, if you steal ec I want them back the same turn ... unless you'd like a closer look at my planet buster

2196 to Lady Misotu.

Pactmate Misotu:

Now, Now. I'm sure that the few ec's that I could steal from one base, pales in comparison to the quantity you get in commerce income from me. I note that you are 90/10 ec/labs, yet still at 1 tech per turn. I have a restless bunch of operatives to control here. If I don't give them something to do, they may form a new faction.

Misotu · November 2, 2000, 16:50

Fried CanHack:

I am running that SE setting because my poor, impoverished citizens are in desperate need of ECs. Without them, there is no telling what they might do, but it is not inconceivable that a dissatisfied group of subversives might seize control of my nuclear deterrent and send it goodness only knows where ...

Truly yours
The Lady Mis

PS Just noticed, that should have read "Friend" CanHack.

PPS And then again ...

Pactmate Misotu:

My probe report is with the game file

At first I thought you were an American, threatening global thermonuclear war as retaliation for espianoge. Now I think you are a Russian, losing control of your arsenal.
