You can build your bases anywhere, but you want to fight a war that will only cost you to protect this area.

Since you have never accepted a North-South divide even with extremely generous conditions, I can only infer that you have expansion plans towards that area that nothing I could have offered to you would have stopped.

I am thus in the process of dettering you from those plans by other means, including but not limited to the destruction of a Peacekeeper colony pod in 2119. Your forces are tired of the state of tension between our two factions: one very damaged rover even joined the Pirates' ranks in exchange for a few symbolic energy credits.

Agree to my conditions, let us sign a treaty, and I will provide you with either a free tech or a free comm frequency. This would also be very good for the Nautilus Pirates as they would finally be able to concentrate on civil production, 20 years after everybody else.

Refuse my conditions and my next artillery targets will be your new mine and the Ogre guarding your headquarters.

The choice is your

Captain Oniron

2120 sent to the Chairman.

Misotu · July 13, 2000, 14:22

Is this game stuck? Anyway, just to let you know that I'm away from home from tomorrow until Monday, so I'm afraid I won't be able to play any turns until then.

Oniron · July 13, 2000, 19:47

Just for the record, I haven't seen the turn since Monday

emjaycue · July 13, 2000, 22:47

Sorry the delay's my fault, i send A_S the wrong file not once, but TWICE... how dumb!

The Pirates have attacked me for no reason like they have been hooping and hollering about. Let it be known that the Pirates will always be at war until one of out factions is eliminated. Any other faction should be assured that I will accept no terms... make no agreements or give any tribute to the Pirates. If any other faction wishes to attack the Pirates keep that in mind.

Turn 2121 sent to Datajack Misotu of the Data Angels.

Misotu · July 18, 2000, 00:34

Hmm. 2121 sent to the Chairman.

Misotu · July 20, 2000, 17:26

Oniron has me pretty good. I don't even have flex yet and he's taking my colony pods out with the unity chopper. I'm just going to fight it out. He's also got me surrounded.

Sorry to hear that you were ill Emjay.

Received an email from Oniron on 3 August saying he'd be back home and playing his turn on the 7th. Anyone heard from him? I've emailed him to ask if he's sent the turn on.

Oniron · August 19, 2000, 00:57

Dear All,

My AC CDs and myself will be parted until the 3rd of September

After that, however, I will be online very often and, with your help, will make up for the turns lost this month in speed of posting

Thank you for your patience and train well in my absence,

Cheers,

Oniron

PS This time away from AC is very hard, but I got a D.Phil (PhD) position in Oxford out of it

Misotu · September 6, 2000, 00:13

Well, it's the 5th now so I thought it was worth dropping Oniron a line and asking whether he's ready to get the game rolling again ....

Oniron · September 6, 2000, 23:59

M.Y. 2123 sent to Datajack Misotu of the Data Angels.

Misotu · September 7, 2000, 15:15

Hmm. The Consciousness are in the Monsoon, and the Spartans have nicked my prime sites. Bah! Outplayed by the AI.

Adam_Smith · September 13, 2000, 00:58

Wow! No bluff! Great pod popping Pirates! Who is that kid? I'm beat.

Turn sent. I've got a couple more at best and I'm beat.

Misotu · September 14, 2000, 10:34

Wait, you can't go yet! We haven't even met you

"Captain...", the words seem to come from the middle of the room, with impressive quality. "Captain, we have finished replacing the Oniropolis city-wide Operating System with Aqua, the tenth generation such OS."

"Congratulations on the minimal downtime: you only started a few minutes ago".

"But Captain, unfortunately 95% of our programs don't work under OS X, and OS 9 isn't on the Oniropolis local network".

"What about projects AC and AX?"

"Captain, AC and AX will require OS 9 in Oniropolis before they can be used at all. Headquarters have sent the system there and we should be able to restart projects AC and AX in three days".

"Very well. I will wait until then before attacking, our troops need the rest anyway. Record my speech for the opening ceremony of the new research building in Oniropolis tonight".

"Recording..."

"Dear Citizens of Oniropolis, Your city shines brightest of all tonight. Although I have been informed of your current network troubles, rest assured that the world entire is in awe at the amazing project you have completed this year, project which required the change in OS.

Let me first thanks those that made it possible. First and foremost the brave explorers that brought back the artefacts that lie at the center of this new complex, and the core of the Unity which powers the structure. Let me also thanks the pearl chasers who risked their lives to bring back the valuable remains of their alien foes. Let me also thanks the Kelp Farmer Association which has funded entirely the North "Tidal Wave" wing and the East "SuperKelp" wing of this great structure. Last but not least my thanks also go to you, of course, you, the citizen of Oniropolis, for all your hard work at putting together the greatest project yet on this new planet: the Oniropolis Weather Institute, our key to unlocking the secrets of this planet's Weather Paradigm.

Unfortunately I am not able to be with you tonight as the war is pretty much dictating my agenda of late. As soon as projects AC and AX will be up and running again, we will launch our offensive, which we all hope will result in our first ever military conquest on this planet. All of our troops have shown extraordinary courage: you can be proud of them now, and show it to them when they return.

I understand that this is to be a social event, so I will wish you a very pleasant evening, well deserved after so much effort. Thank you."

"Captain, you recording has been sent to Oniropolis."

"Take me to the battlefield."

Misotu · September 20, 2000, 13:45

OK Oniron ... it's been four days. Where are you?

Oniron · September 21, 2000, 23:16

A combination of software incompatibilities, hardware obsolesences and data corruptions have prevented me from running 95% of my applications including AC and AX. I am trying to fix the problem but it is harder than anything I have come across in 11 years of using Macs. As soon as I can use my applications again, which might mean a hardware upgrade, I'll send the turn again.

Cheers,

Oniron

Misotu · September 23, 2000, 00:32

Bum

Well, as it happens I'm away on holiday from late tonight until 1 October. So the game would have been held up by me for next week anyhow. Check back with you then?
