it didn't crash this time. woohoo. A good omen, and rightly so.
The mine collapsed under the weight of the decisions the CEO has to make.

I'll be on a conference. cheers all,
Flo

Misotu · April 21, 2001, 21:34

So, er, no reply on the Centauri Empathy question?

I'm gobsmacked

Cedronian · April 22, 2001, 10:02

Hehe, this is turning out to be quite an interesting SMACX soap-opera

Can I be Dr. Drake Ramoret

Turn sent.

Ced.

Misotu · April 22, 2001, 15:01

2172 is off to Flo.

Misotu · April 23, 2001, 10:08

Just to let you know, I'll be away for a few days from lunchtime Tuesday until Friday evening/Sat morning. Apologies for the delay this will cause.

April 26, 2001, 10:38

don't know about the soap opera. Looks more like a splatter movie to me

"We celebrate the Hackjob" days announced !

2172 was good year indeed.
Fungal tower destroyed, primary objective in the little skirmish against Tigtoad accomplished (all techs). PEG completed.

we would accept Pirate maps for Empathy, no questions asked.

TigToad · April 27, 2001, 15:08

Shrug.. you threatened me. You made demands on me. You destroyed one of my units for no reason. You steal my tech. You declare war on me. You demand tribute.

I am an instigator.

Turn sent. The Morganites are unconcerned.

Tig

Cedronian · April 27, 2001, 17:34

MY2172 sent to Misotu.

Ced.

April 28, 2001, 14:42

2173 to the unconcerned..

Misotu · April 29, 2001, 00:31

While we'd love Centauri Empathy, we cannot with honour trade the maps of our allies, sadly.

2173 is back to the Angels.

Misotu · April 29, 2001, 18:22

And 2174 is back to the Angels ...

April 30, 2001, 10:15

2174 turned.
The angels refuse to participate in the mad arms-tech race..

TigToad · April 30, 2001, 13:47

The peaceful CEO Tig of the Morganites has passed the turn onto the Peacekeepers.

Shiver me timbers! While conducting delicate negotiations with our angelic friends, imagine our surprise to discover a foil probe teamed poised to steal the very item for which their diplomats are negotiating!

Our piratical instincts overcame us, and we were forced to destroy the probe and its escort. We hope that our friends the Hackers will understand that we had no choice - this is, after all, a matter of doubloons so we take it seriously. Please accept the overtures of peace and friendship we have sent, while undertaking, naturally, not to continue destabilising probe actions in our territory.

2175 is off to the thieving Angels, with apologies for the delay. Thanks for the resend Ced.

interesting interpretation of the facts, admiral. Considering the incident happened 15 squares from the next pirate, 8 squares from the next Angel base....
Another probe convinced your skirmship to join Angel activities. In this case, producing some timber. TigToad is 1 Mineral short of ship production now

anyways, regretfully it happened, and with it went the last best hope for peaceful building on planet. The first probe wasn't poised for stealing maps, but for shutting down the Morganite AI researching neural grafting, dammit. Now its D:AP in 8, MMI in 9

.

Brother Cedronian, when will you realize whats really happening on planet. Be assured the Morganites consider you a peon rather than a full ally and will drop you once its convenient for them. How did they treat you in the past ? Did they ever send you useful tech ? Who gave Env. Economics to you ? Ethical Calc. ? Did they ever ask you what secret project you want for yourself.

I beg you, follow the admirals example and commit a little double cross, ... on Tig. No SFF for him. Planet would be a better place with the PEACEKEEPERS holding the monopoly on Air Power.

Misotu · May 3, 2001, 14:10

Only interpretation of the facts. We are the Pirates, and the sea is our territory

It is, of course, disquieting that the Morganites are so advanced weapon-wise. But nevertheless, we will not bow the knee to the demands of the Hackjobs unless they make good their earlier offers. The arcane diplomacy of the fungus-smoking Angels is impossible to follow - they make offers, then impose conditions and more conditions. We are dazed and confused ...

Misotu · May 3, 2001, 15:31

That should have been "bend". Bend the knee. How do you bow a knee? Blowed if I know ...

TigToad · May 7, 2001, 01:07

Laugh... I love the politics in here..but the bottom line is I want to be friends with everyone (Including Flo if her maniacle war machine would just shut down and let use resume a friendly posture--after she gives me two techs to make up for the ones she ripped from our database).

The bad news, I am leaving town Wednesday morning at 6am. Last turn I sent off was 2175 to Ced... If I have 2176 before Tuesday I will probably have time to play it, otherwise it won't get played until I return on the 20th. Sorry folks...

Tig

Misotu · May 7, 2001, 19:15

2175 to Flo ... let us all try for peace, then?

May 7, 2001, 23:32

2176 to the Morganites. Have nice trip, Tig

we tried and succeeded: All so peaceful...

Congratulations for Brother Ced (Weather Paradigm) and Hackjob Florence (The Virtual World) are in order.

TigToad · May 8, 2001, 14:03

I'm leaving town first thing tomorrow... everyone take 3 days to play you're turn that way I won't be considered slow

I sent 2176 off to Ced... and I'll see you again on the 20th.

Sorry about this folks...

MY2176 sent to Misotu.

Have a nice trip, Tig.

The PK´s finished the WP this turn and thanks the Data Angels for the congratulatory remarks as well as their support in finishing the SP

Ced.

Misotu · May 10, 2001, 10:22

Congrats on the WP, Commissioner.

2177 to the Angels.

May 22, 2001, 12:33

Turned the game to Tig some 12 days ago...

Flo · May 22, 2001, 13:45

TigToad · May 23, 2001, 13:43

I'm back in town, but I've misplaced my CD for the game..friend was house sitting and I'm afraid he was using my computer while I was gone...it was in the drive when i left... and just as soon as I find it, I'll play the turn... sorry folks...
