And yes, Viriato, those compensations are worth everything.

MY 2153 to WE

WhiteElephants · July 30, 2001, 15:24

Hey gang, I just moved this weekend and optimistically thought I'd be up and running again by last evening. I was wrong. I might need another day or two before I can get this thing moving again. I'm looking forward to being connected again and resuming our game, but my darned computer desk I just bought is giving me the run around and I'm strapped for time with work and school. So cross your fingers and hold your breath, I won't be too much longer. Thanks for your patience.

WhiteElephants, I hope you are settling in to your new place. If you can open all your packing boxes in the next three years, you will be ahead of me. We still have boxes in the attic from our last move.

MY 2154 to White Elephants.

WhiteElephants · August 1, 2001, 17:07

Well, it looks as though things are in order enough that I'll be taking my turn on a regular basis again. I believe I sent 2154 to Viriato last night.

PS -- Thanks for the encouragement Qantaga.

MY 2155 to WE

Good to hear things are settling down finally.

Good news for me as well. Yesterday was my last Command Duty Officer watch (24 hour watch) which is the reason for the delay.

My apologies for the long absence from this board.
I'm currently responsable for the work in the factory I work due to hollidays so I've been working 12 hours a day all week plus saturdays mornings. I can't wait to get to September

Qantaga · August 5, 2001, 13:19

Wow, Viriato, those are some long days!

No worries on not visiting the board. Good luck keeping up with your sleep in August.

The days are long but they run very fast with so much work to do. Still they aren't as long as Theohall's 24 hours watch

MY 2159 sent to WE

M.Y.2159 sent to Qantaga.

Sunspot activity has just started. It looks like it's every man for himself now

Qantaga · August 6, 2001, 23:09

Sunspots...Yikes! And just when Zak, Morgan and Miriam were on the verge of submitting to my every demand.

Not that we can monitor this, but there is to be no e-mail communication between team members during the solar flare 20 year period (or whatever it is). Viriato has the details from "the guys upstairs".

Qantaga · August 8, 2001, 23:28

Makes sense to me.

No worries on our end. We will stay incommunicado until the flares recede.

theohall · August 9, 2001, 10:41

Question: If we have units in the same square with our teammate, why couldn't we communicate?

To whom do we refer this question?

WhiteElephants · August 9, 2001, 15:41

I believe you should refer to Dilithium Dad and/or Googlie who are our CMN's (whaterver that means). I'm pretty sure DDad set this on up for us, so he's probably the guy.

I could also pose the question that while I believe your two units could communicate with one another because of their proximity how would your two units communicate with anyone else?

I'm envisioning some futuristic form of the Pony Express.

"The Rover Scout Express!"

theohall · August 9, 2001, 18:11

This exemplifies one of the flaws in SMAC. You, as the boss, are still able to control all of your units and manage all of your cities during these solar flares. How if comms are down due to solar flares?

If you can communicate with your own units, you should be able to communicate with someone if you are sharing a square or in one of their cities by communicating through those units.

I will defer to whatever DiDad or Googlie come up with, but just wanted to make sure the question was asked.

Qantaga · August 9, 2001, 20:41

It looks like time to start a second thread.

The new thread can be found here.
