Are you sure where I am ?? I guess process of elimination provides a good clue.

Um, excuse me, knowhow, you sent the turn to me.

I'll go back to AXT049 now and patiently wait for my turn.

Year 2169 to Walt.
_______

Sure feels great to finally extend past the oceanic boundaries of our Gaian continent. This marks a major milestone for our society. Our isolation can no longer be enforced by the vastness of the Chiron seas, and we must venture forth and locate the other civilizations around the world.

It would be wise for us to learn and study the Earth history of Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, and the age of the explorers. Our present age is remarkably similar to that historic age.

Morgan searched for something witty to write in his journal. He was drawing a blank. Oh well. He chalked it up to a long day at the office. Tired, he closed the book, shut off the light, and left for home and bed.

We have raced through 2170 and 2171 goes on to the Cult

CBN was happy with the increased contact with other factions. he hoped that a golden age of peaceful diplomacy was about to begin.

turn 2171 to tench

Tenchusatsu · May 31, 2001, 11:53

Year 2171 to Walt.
_______

Traditionally, economic and civilized progress has to come at the expense of environmental awareness. However, we have finally developed an economic system which results in a "win-win" scenario between humans and nature. For lack of a better name, we call it "Green" economics, and it provides us not only with a much stronger Centauri Empathy, but also increased efficiency and much less waste. Finally we are able to achieve a no-waste Paradigm Economy, one that puts efficiency at its peak. (Incidentally, Green economics resemble the philosophies and habits of the ancient American Sioux nation of old Earth.)

The heightened ecological wisdom conferred by Green economics also give our soldiers their best chances at communicating with the native mind worms, including the new seafaring variety named "Isle of the Deep." Long have we strove to cooperate with the native wildlife, as opposed to compete, and now I am proud to say that we have finally reached that point.

The only downside of Green economics is perhaps harsher living arrangements, which may contribute to an increase in mortality and a slowdown in population growth. However, my colleagues say they are developing ways to achieve sporadic "Population Booms" to counteract this very problem. Stay tuned ...

The early negative incentives to Morganite researchers are now paying off. Motivated researchers are producing technological dividends. Nevertheless, we continue to strive in vain for those technologies that will allow us to exploit without limit the productive qualities of our territory.

Perhaps further incentivization is required...

Turn 2171 is done and sent to the fungus-lover

2172 is done and 2173 is winging its way to the cultster

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

An aide burst into the Supervisory Council "Foreman, we have a communication from the prophet !!"

The foreman grabbed the out-thrust dispatch and read intently. His countenance became one of annoyance as he read the message to his fellow supervisors, " get this gang. . . . This is the very first message from the prophet and he doesn't even bother with a hello. Instead he makes some outrageous demands and states that if we do not comply there will be unpleasantness. Well I say we can never give in to such blackmail. History shows that appeasement never works. So if the prophet sees fit to attack us, so be it. Our troops are strong and the additions of resonance and trance armours to our units will stand them in good stead against any worm interlopers."

The aide looked at cbn "what response should we send back?"

"Tell them we will consider tech trades or deals of mutual benefit but that we will not give in to threats, in particular since we have an able military ready to defend our lands. Stress our willingness for peace but concede NOTHING. meanwhile I want All my military chiefs of staff in the situation room immediately for risk assessment and scenarios. I propose that we send units . . . . . ."
The foreman's voice faded out as he moved into the situation room

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

Later the same day. . . . .on the evening vidcom

"Channel 10 investigative reporter Gotit Wright has learned that Drone military and national guard units were mobolized today across the Drone homeland. Military spokesmen are portraying this as a "routine" exercize but insiders report that this is the largest mobilization of manpower in the history of the Drones. There is unconfirmed speculation that we are at war with the cult but this could not be confirmed at this time. A military spokesman would only say that contact had been made with cult units and while tensions were high, the units were holding their fire while a diplomatic solution was sought. The spokesman did admit that communications with the front lines are spotty and that we will not know the true situation until "the Turn Comes Back".

The Minister of defense downplayed the possibility of conflict stating that the Drones strong defenses should deter any Cult aggression. He did, however, call for an 37 % increase in military spending and research and announced the award of several defense contracts and the formation of several new units.

Two battles, two won. The Planet smiles.

cbn · June 1, 2001, 11:14

The situation room was grim " sir it appears that we are at war with the cult. Details are sketchy but they are claiming two victories. They must have made an unprovoked attack on our unarmoured explorers. Those units were part of our voyagers group.

Cbn gasped "Voyagers !! Aren't they the youth group we formed for the graduates of the boy scouts !!! They are not even armed with anything more than a hand weapon to deter wild animals. They are not even really in the military, alll they do is orienteering and surveying. The Drone population and all of Planet will be outraged at this attack."

" all factories are to be turned to immediate military production. Call out the elite squadrons and go to immediate war footing. Call the minister of the navy and get him here immediately !!"

Walt · June 1, 2001, 11:24

"Wow, they have a navy..."

Year 2173 to Walt.
_______

We have made contact with both the Peacekeepers and the Spartans over the last two years. Talk about two factions on the polar opposites of the philosophical spectrum. One wants peace, other wants war.

Luckily we have an informal truce with each faction, but the Spartans have already shown a distaste for our faction's societal value of Wealth. I fear the Spartans might join the Cyborgs in declaring Vendetta against us if we continue to demonstrate weakness towards them. As one of my military advisers colorfully pointed out, "They look like hungry wolves, and we must look like a juicy lamb to them."

As for the Peacekeepers, I have a feeling that Commissioner Lal will be willing to talk terms of a peace treaty. He seems to be the type who favors Democratic peace-loving factions like ours.

"Our diplomats have just exchange themselves to some great information; a map of our enemies. Besides from having fairly many farms, solar collectors and mines, they also have many of those Holes in the ground. The day we defeat them is the day we learn about this Holes."

"What do you mean we can't raise terrain yet? You mean we sent these formers across the continent for NOTHING?"

cbn · June 4, 2001, 09:42

Is walt away/unavailable ? I just can't wait to see what knowhow2 has done to me this turn LOL.

knowhow2 · June 4, 2001, 10:14

Did you all get Walts email about him having just one email from now on (the original). I think he's moving or something. Probably just busy. Give him a few more days, he'll come around.

cbn · June 4, 2001, 10:30

knowhow2

No problem. I do recall the email you speak of now that you mention it. Should have known something was up as Walt usually plays pretty quick.

I'm probably just nervous as to how your attack is progressing
