2157, to the guy with the fab car.

mark13 · January 10, 2001, 17:05

....the fairly battered and bruised fab car that needs to get back to base pretty damn sharpish....

2158 to WE....

big_canuk · January 11, 2001, 10:59

2158 to Mark 13

-------------

Ah, then maybe I can get it at a discount?

mark13 · January 11, 2001, 12:59

Nice try

2159 to WE....

big_canuk · January 11, 2001, 23:55

2159 to the guy with the fab car

mark13 · January 12, 2001, 08:52

2160 to WE - nothing to report

big_canuk · January 13, 2001, 20:42

2160 to the guy with the fab car.

mark13 · January 14, 2001, 10:59

*sigh* 2160 to WE as the elite impact rover docks for repairs

big_canuk · January 14, 2001, 18:13

2161 to the guy with the soon to be shiny fab car.

mark13 · January 15, 2001, 09:42

It is my pleasure to report that our impact rover has docked for repairs, and will be on its way, 3 moves and all, next turn

Turn to WE....

Given the untimely demise of the unfortunate Provost Darius, Colonel Mark13 has vowed his revenge.

"We shall not rest until the last corpse of the Hivemind lays flat on his back in the dpths of the monsoon jungle. We shall not sleep until the last of the communal areas lies in ruins among a horde of Spartan troops. But most importantly, we shall not be at peace until their cruel leader, Chairman Yang, screams for submission in the Spartan torture chamber. This is our mission, and we must fulfil it.

Colonel Mark13, address to the people, 23/11/2162

Turn to WE....

Darius · January 17, 2001, 14:09

Hey, wait! I'm not dead yet!

(Or maybe I am but didn't get my turn yet

)

WhiteElephants · January 17, 2001, 16:25

Are you guys serious? Did Darius kick the bucket? I just sent him his turn about an hour ago and I didn't see anything about Darius being dead???

You sure you got the right game Mark or are you just letting your over active imagination get the best of you?

mark13 · January 17, 2001, 16:51

Well, I got a message from Darius saying he was basically done for, and that he wouldn't last much longer - I thought you were dying next turn, Darius? Oh well - sorry, ignore that post - I'll re-post it in a few turns

big_canuk · January 17, 2001, 18:11

How do these things work in MP. Can we (in a few turns

) free Darius from the Hive HQ with a probe? Will he then be our submissive? Can he break that submissive pact?

mark13 · January 17, 2001, 19:36

This is SMAC, not SMACX

WhiteElephants · January 17, 2001, 22:54

Let him rot on the gallows!!!

big_canuk · January 17, 2001, 23:23

Duh, right!

turn to Mark13

Darius · January 18, 2001, 12:47

The reports of my death have been greatly (or at least slightly) exaggerated. Mark whipped his followers into a frenzy prematurely.

I expect that the Hive will finish me off within a few turns. My only regret is that I never got to see that fab car.

mark13 · January 18, 2001, 14:46

Fear not, Provost Darius - for the fab rover is on its way! Meanwhile, the substitute, only disciplined, but still competent, should stave off future Hive assaults on the sole University Base.

P.S. The Believers aren't going to last much longer

Turn to WE....

Darius · January 19, 2001, 12:50

Turn to big_canuk.

Thanks for dispatching that fab (or at least competent) rover. I don't see it, though. Do you need directions?

mark13 · January 19, 2001, 12:58

As you neglected to build sensors

you will not have noticed my rover, standing on the edge of your territory. Actually, what is more likely is that has been annihilated by Yang...oh well - actually, it was 3 squares away, so it might still have survived....

big_canuk · January 19, 2001, 14:10

2164 to Mark13

mark13 · January 19, 2001, 16:06

Indeed the competent rover is still alive, with the fab car wading its way through the fungus in anticipation....

Turn to WE....

It is my duty to report that we, the Spartans, have eliminated the bible-thumping Believers. They shall spread their lies over the land no more.

Darius · January 19, 2001, 16:21

Good job eliminating the one Believer base I left alive.

mark13 · January 19, 2001, 16:59

No problem - it wasn't a difficult job, believe me - I think our infantry picked up a couple of nasty bruises, but nothing too tragic

WhiteElephants · January 19, 2001, 19:41

They're thick as thieves around these parts.

big_canuk · January 20, 2001, 22:38

2165 to Mark13

Darius · January 21, 2001, 16:17

I saw your shiny car last turn, now I see nothing but mindworms. Don't tell me you've fallen victim to "the curse of the University"?

Turn to Big_Canuk.

big_canuk · January 21, 2001, 20:06

2166 to Mark13.

Hey Darius. The worms are great for you. They will slow down the Hive, and if they come next to your base, kill 'em for morale boost, and ecs. (Mind you, getting your SE choice changed would help)
