2144 to Hobbes....

H0bbes · May 20, 2001, 19:15

Over to Mark once more.

Hobbes.

mark13 · May 20, 2001, 19:22

'45 to Hobbes....

H0bbes · May 20, 2001, 19:33

2146 on to Mark.

The SP: The Virtual World is complete and peace spreads across the land.

2146 to Hobbes....following the passing of the great Secret Project, the Virtual World, Markite citizens shall have to be content with the Planetary Transit System instead. While this will not provide the entertainment facilities of the VW, it also opens the door for an expansionist regime over the coming years.

Also, Provost Mark is said to be "hopeful" about completing the Human Genome Project within the next three years.

H0bbes · May 20, 2001, 19:54

2147 is on its way to Mark.

Hobbes.

mark13 · May 20, 2001, 20:04

2147 to Hobbes....

Despite the setback of missing the VW, we are hopeful that the HGP will go some way to repairing the damage. It is also reported that with the recent completion of the PTS, the Markite economy is moe vibrant than ever!

H0bbes · May 20, 2001, 20:12

Turned to Mark.

Yes, having the PTS must be nice, especially since you're killing me on population & base number already.

Anyway, such is life, you can't build every SP!

Hobbes.

Delurking just temporarily to say that Paul and I already finished our game ...

mark13 · May 21, 2001, 08:56

Well, I s'pose that's what happens with two players both online 24/7

mark13 · May 21, 2001, 09:49

2148 to Hobbes....

In the news this year:

Markite citizens grow hopeful, as the Human Genome Project nears completion. The HGP, otherwise known as the poor half-brother of the VW, will nevertheless aid the good Provost in his expansion efforts.

Also, a Markite unity rover has landed on the coast near Gnosis I. Provost Mark has once again extended his warm hand of friendship out to the Hobbits, and offered a pact. It is not known how this will effect the relative economies of the two factions, but it will provide data for both faction leaders on the other's progress.

If we were online 24/7 we would have finished in less than a week.

It's true ... as it was, all that staying up until the wee small hours to catch you before you went to work *really* did me in

H0bbes · May 21, 2001, 21:10

On to Mark once more.

Given their current position & the belief that a Pact would benefit their opponants more than themselves, it has been declined.

Hobbes.

Actually, we might have really been able to do that if we just lived in the same time zone.

2149 to Hobbes - it seems the Hobbits have no interest in the future of humanity. As such, the rover will continue the exploration mission into Hobbes territory

Also in the news, Markite citizens celebrate the completion of the HGP, and excitement grows as we approach the discovery of Environmental Economics. The 10-yearly census, scheduled for next year, should boost morale among Markite citizens.

H0bbes · May 22, 2001, 19:07

2150 is on its way.

On the contrary, Hobbit researchers care a great deal about the future of humanity and plan on taking humanity to another level of conciousness entirely. We don't however, care much for Markites.

Hobbes.

mark13 · May 22, 2001, 19:22

Touche, Provost Hobbes - is it that you are reluctant to sign a pact, as you are afraid of what you may see on the other side?

M.Y. 2150 stats:

15 bases, 58 pop
20 techs, techs every 5, next in 5
Income 83/yr

SPs: HGP, ME, PTS
Truce with Hobbes

'50 to Hobbes....

H0bbes · May 22, 2001, 20:00

2151 is on its way to Mark.

Mark leads in all ares, aarrgh!

My stats:
7 bases, 16 pop
14 techs, tech. in 5, next tech in 5
Income: 31
SP's: the WP & the VW.

Hobbes.

mark13 · May 23, 2001, 18:45

The Markites note that the Hobbits foolishly forgot to attach the file. Perhaps this is indicative of the Provost's current research trends?

2151 to Hobbes....

H0bbes · May 23, 2001, 18:56

2152 on its way to Mark.

Hobbes

mark13 · May 23, 2001, 19:06

2152 sent.

H0bbes · May 23, 2001, 19:17

Not you I'm mad at, its that horde of rampaging MW's.

On its way again.

Hobbes.

mark13 · May 23, 2001, 19:36

2153 to Hobbes....as the rover sauntered up to an undefended Gnosis I, a great urge came over me. 'Take the base, take the base!' as I wrestled with my subconscious - but it was not to be.

The Markites report that they NEED CASH!!!!

H0bbes · May 23, 2001, 19:48

Onwards to the tempted one!

Cash? What's that?

Hobbes.

H0bbes · May 23, 2001, 20:20

2155 across the ocean to Mark.

Hobbes.

mark13 · May 24, 2001, 11:01

2155 back to Hobbes....the Markites report that our research program has temporarily been put on hold, in the attempt to scrape together a few more energy credits. The rewards for this will be reaped when Provost Mark declares a switch in the economic switch to 'planned', scheduled for 2158, which will initiate spontaneous growth for a number of years.

H0bbes · May 24, 2001, 19:28

2156 on to Mark.

Hobbes.

mark13 · May 24, 2001, 19:33

2156 to Hobbes....the great baby boom has been put back a year, due to lack of funds

H0bbes · May 24, 2001, 19:45

On to Mark with a special surprise!

Hobbes.

mark13 · May 24, 2001, 19:52

2157 to Hobbes....Markite generals are outraged at the attack on our rover.

Or......not.
