On to Virato.

Paul --thanks for hanging in there. Viriato is cruel for prolonging your agony so long!

Rest in peace. See you next game!

M.Y. 2158 sent to the University.

That is not true. I'm moving as fast as I can .
BTW next turn Paul will have only 1 base left. I cannot take it because of the bug. How shall we proceed?

2158 to Misotu.

About the bug: in ACT006 we had the same problem. I'll copy Tau Ceti's response from that thread here:
quote:

This has happened in several other games as well. Sadly, there is no clean solution - if that last base is ever captured or destroyed, the game will end immediately.
Therefore, the sub-optimal solution that is used is that the base is left alive, set to Stockpile Energy, population that is not needed is made into doctors, Grigger's energy allocation is set to 100% psych, any trade treaties he has (none in this case, I believe) are cancelled, and the city is off limits for the rest of the game.

Unfortunately, this deprives Paul of a base. It seems, however, that nothing can be done to prevent this. If that last base is a very large or important one, containing SPs or the like, I would suggest that Paul take control of the University, rush a colony pod, build a new, worthless base somewhere else and take over the original base afterwards. Otherwise, leave it as it is.

In either case, one of you will have to play Grigger's turn (just pressing turn complete) and will need his password. It should not matter too much who that is; up to you.

Sorry about this but it is outside my control. No idea what causes it.


So when you have killed my last defender I will send you my password end you'll just hit "end turn" for me and send the game to Misotu.

Nah. But quite a few hours, for sure Yeah, I know. The circumstances are unusual - I'm living in the US, in the middle of a wood miles from anywhere, without a work visa. So ... there's not an awful lot to do around here ...

And you know, PBEM being what it is, there are quite a few days when I only have to play one or two turns ...

Anyway, enough of the sad story of my life. The guests have gone, the turn is played and 2159 is finally on its way to DiDad ...

I guess you're not enjoying your life in the 'states'. Well, something must be better than in England. Maybe the weather?

Yes, the weather is better here. Although I'm in New England, so it's similar

Paul: I sent you the turn anyway. If you want me to play the turn send me the password and I'll forward it to Misotu.

I just sent 2160 to Misotu. That was my last turn; Viriato will hit end-turn for me from now on. Tau Ceti's instructions said that I should cancel all trade treaties so I ended my pacts. I can't cancel peace treaties as far as I know, so I told Viriato that in his next turn as Hive he should propose to the University to attack the Gaians and PK and then accept that proposal when he plays the UoP turn. So don't be alarmed when the UoP declares vendetta on you; it just has to be done so that you won't get any trade income from me.

The Provost has fought well and bravely and deserves our admiration.
As a sign of respect we shall not rename his bases as planned.
So long soldier...

Thanks for the game Paul. Next time we'll be allies .

I forgot to propose the University to attack both the gaians and the peacekeepers. I guess I'll have to do it next turn .

Looks like the original send might not have reached DiDad. I've resent 2164 to him ...

2166 to DiDad, who appears to be gearing up for war

While the PKs are, of course, dedicated to the welfare of their Pact Brothers, we should point out right now that the first attacker dedicates all our efforts to the support of the non-aggressor ... And since we are tech leaders, with a very fine research rate, we believe that this should give some pause for thought.

Splendid. One of our prime bases appears to contain enemy troops

Ah well. Fortunately, despite this loss, we still have enough votes to retain the Governorship ... We politely request the return of our base, and compensation for our losses.

2168 is off to the tree-crazy aggressor.

Hey, if you guys wanted a non-violent game you should have set cooperative victory to "ON" and the only victory as transendence!

Besides, Viriato made me promise to attack you Misotu! Or is he trying to make you think something different?

Then the autonomous PKs congratulate the pliable Gaians on their attempt to follow the instructions of a foreign power ...

Official PK Announcement:

The two bases taken by the Gaians have been destroyed by valiant PK chopper squads, together with the Gaian attack forces located in each. PK citizens are outraged by the vandalism of this ill-prepared and inadequate attack.

One pathetic rover remains on our mainland and we assure the Gaians that unless this rover is disbanded and the few jets hanging in space returned to their own territory, we will now amuse ourselves by gassing the Gaian heartland. Repeatedly and, more to the point, *effectively*. We remind our friends of the Green persuasion that we are very close to Fusion power ...

It is important not to confuse an unwillingness to fight with an inability to do so.

This is, perhaps, an appropriate point at which to renew our polite request for compensation?

Mis, very impressive the way you destroyed your own bases! I hope we can look forward to a repeat performance!

I have to laugh when you gas your own bases into oblivion and then threaten me! "Look what I can do to myself! Just think if this has been directed at YOU!"

Really shaking in my boots over here!!

Ah well ... call it inexperience. I guess I just didn't fancy 2 heavily-defended enemy bases right in my heartland. You, er, appear to lack an air force now, however
