2115 to Gaia

Hmmm - signs of life around. I wonder who the unlucky player is?

November 26, 2000, 18:43

Turn turned to JDC. Signs of life? That's me if you mean the MW that just trashed my scout.

buster · November 30, 2000, 18:47

University has the questionable pleasure of meeting me.
I would like to be nice but what can a poor believer do?

Oh .. and 2120 to Gaia

Is this game stalled ? I have not received a turn for quite some time already...

buster · December 4, 2000, 14:34

I will resend immediately to Hobbes - to ensure he got it.

December 4, 2000, 16:53

I didn't get it then but I got it now. Received, played & turned over to the capable hands of JDC.

Hobbes

December 5, 2000, 19:01

Turn turned to JDC- this time the correct one after I received the correct turn from Buster.

2121 to Gaia.

Had an argument with uni. Seems illustration was needed to get point across.

December 6, 2000, 05:34

Turn turned.

2122 to Gaia.

Excuse moi - monsignor Jacques.

I could only read the last three lines in the comm link talking something about 2200 and see your declining. This is a problem with the comm link and long messages. If its too long it is simply not there to read for the next one.

Unfortunately I am well aware that my advantage is too shortlived to hang around discussing finer details, while defenses are built.

I will try to remember to pray and my advice to you is: "Next a couple of believer vehicles that you have no chance to defend against roll up on the front lawn, give them what they want and start arguing about details later." If you want to haggle for a somewhat better deal - by using the comm link - make it less than three lines."

December 6, 2000, 18:16

Tuyrn turned.

I fear my MW is about to receive an "illustration" from a Hive scout.

Good luck JDC, I speak from experience when I say you need it when you come up against Buster.

Hobbes

Jacques De Carufel · December 7, 2000, 01:15

What an illustrator you are Buster !!!

Well, if you had read my messages properly, you would have got a chance at getting my techs, but as a result, you will find nothing but desperate (and unfortunately hopeless) resistance and not much else at all... The point is the next guy you will run into will get you with much less tech and undoudtably kick your butt.

Hopefully we will meet again in the near future, and not too early in the game... you better start praying now, until this day.

Cheers.

2123 to gaia

All relatively quiet at the front

December 7, 2000, 07:18

Turn turned to JDC.

Well the Hive trashed my MW & I founded my third colony. This means I have 3 colonies without any defences at all & the Hive is my neighbour. I have no money either! I think I may have spread myself a bit thin. Hope you're not too close Buster!

Anyone knows about the special tournament map where each faction starts on its own island... I sure wish we used it for this game !

I guess players are not started again once conquered are they ?

If not, this game might be pathetically short for most builder type players...

buster · December 8, 2000, 06:19

The tournament map is 4 players starting on 4 islands with large land in north and south.

Makes for a peaceful start.

I am sorry about the "shock start" but I were given believers and they just cannot be played well building style.

Of course I had hoped I could extort from you, what I could not produce myself. The way relations have developed it seems I will have to find someone else to harass.

2124 to gaia

Turn turned to the beleaguered one with comisserations for an unlucky starting position. [Fingers crossed that Buster is a loooooooong way away!]

Hobbes

If you want to try the four isle map just contact Tau Ceti.

Tau Ceti · December 8, 2000, 19:31

JDC already indicated that he wants to try the Tournament map when he signed up a long time ago. Unfortunately, I have been busy with exams for quite a while now, but if this experience has not scared him off, I should be able to have a Tournament map game for him within a week.

buster · December 9, 2000, 08:07

2125 to Gaia.

And then they were three ....
Believers make contribution to speeding up turn rate.

Scout reports a string of small green thinly spread cities. Is that you Hobbes?

Just kidding.
