2125...to Smack.

Kassiopeia · August 15, 2001, 11:30

The turn rate is staggering, compared for example to the 7FFA game we both are on, SmartFart

2125 to Vytae

Vytae · August 15, 2001, 19:58

Maybe but we have lots of mistakes,Kass,you sent me Hive's turn,you forget to take your turn? =o

SmartFart · August 15, 2001, 20:18

Yes,indeed.

Rules are quite simple...more players-more delays. 7FFA shall fall apart before we finish off our 1st decade and as a matter of a fact I am getting quite sick of it.

I've been in several SMAC PBEM games and this one is definitelly longest and fastest I've ever play. Quite enjoyable I might add,mindworms aside.

Regards.

Um... The Murphy's Second Law... If you brag about something going fine, it'll go immediately wrong... Now it should be the right one Vytae.

This is quite easy-going for my second PBEM game ever. The first one, well, haven't heard of him for a month now

, and the third one seems to be going slooooow as he11.

Avenoct · August 17, 2001, 17:28

I vaguely wondered as I paddled down the Potomac: "Hrm, wonder if I'm missing a PBEM turn?" Apparently not! Just got back from a three day paddle + hiking trip which kicked out the last of the flu I had, and no turn! Well, I thought I was being facetious when I said we'd turn the century at the new year, but it does look like it. By the way, 'Lady Smack' now has two whole colonies! I can't wait till I have more than 2 units to move per turn...hrm...maybe in October?

-Smack

Kassiopeia · August 17, 2001, 17:36

TWO WHOLE COLONIES?

Either you are joking or you really aren't doing so fine. I only problem for now is that I'm out of expansion room until I either discover Doctr. Flex. or decide to kick the a** of my neighbouring AI, which has already sheepishly donated me three techs.

Vytae · August 17, 2001, 22:10

Heh,still the wrong file Kasseiopa of the Hive =o unless your trying to get me to play hive's turn?

Im doing ****ty so far,got a square smack dab in the middle of a bunch of arid squares and no free colony pod. i dont even have my 2nd colonie yet for a few turns =o

Avenoct · August 18, 2001, 10:38

Vytae, I'm with ya.

Like I've been whining since the beginning, starting with only one colony pod is **S!

Vytae, do I sense a pact between us as soon as we find each other? I think the Hive's turn is just so big that it spilled over into your turn.

(Cowering from the other human players)

-"Lady" Smack

Kassiopeia · August 19, 2001, 14:32

But the Hive was too strong for them invidually; thus was the Pact forged.

It must suck having a non-expansionist faction like Morgan or Gaians with only one colony pod

I'll say though that the scout patrols of Zakharov seem strong, and those fungal masses near Monsoon Jungle -
Oh I would of liked to see your face reading that! Just kidding, but there are some moist squares here. Not bad, not at all. I'll get some forest and farms up and running, and...

Kassiopeia · August 19, 2001, 14:33

Turn 2125 to Vytae, for the second time

If it aint the right one now, then you must of declined from overwriting.

Vytae · August 19, 2001, 22:55

Sounds good smack

I was doing it right Kass you were just sending the wrong file like i did to smartfart so long ago

it was right file this time and its on to smartfart!

SmartFart · August 20, 2001, 02:03

2126...back to Smack.

The Gecko Peace Chanty

'O the year it was One Twenty Six.
Hey ho' the planet O' !

And the nations did ah find a fix
Hey ho' the planet O' !

For when e'er a move was made by one
Time did stop and peace was won.

Now peace wasn't what they all had learned
Indeed it was war that all had yearned

But when time did stop
There was a great still
And the guns were silent
Upon the hill

And when time did stop
There wasn't a sound
but the fungal pop
and the rusting of steel

So ye who would war
And gain yet more field
Please enclose the turn
and heed this appeal!

Smartfart, as much as I enjoy the email, attach the turn so we can leave the Bermuda Triangle known as Year 2126!

-Smack

SmartFart · August 21, 2001, 00:34

It seems that both of my E-mail adresses sucks hard.
Emperoratrix@lycos.com recieves mail w/o problem,but I can't send an E-mail from it for some time and for some unknown reason.
SmartFart@pulp-fiction.com have serious problem w/ attachments.

I also have 3rd adress (one I got from my ISP provider) but I never actually used it and I have to browse thru my papers and find a password to have an access to my account.

As soon as I find it,I'll note you.

I apologize for any troubles I caused.

Regards.

SF

P.S. Hope you got attachment this time.

Avenoct · August 21, 2001, 01:24

All's Well. 2126->Kassiopeia

Kassiopeia · August 21, 2001, 17:27

2126 to Vytae

SmartFart · August 22, 2001, 06:13

2127....to Smack.

Avenoct · August 22, 2001, 09:59

Turn to Kassiopeia, Smack to Class

Vytae · August 23, 2001, 19:57

There's 2 nutrient bonuses,a mineral bonus,and a energy bnous just begging for a colony pod right in the middle of it all near me.But its such a very long track for my poor lone colony pod.

On to you Smartfart

SmartFart · August 24, 2001, 02:08

2128...to Smack.

Avenoct · August 24, 2001, 10:53

Turn to Kass. 2128 or somesuch.

I'm glad I'm doing so poorly in a way...someone has to be meat for the meatgrinder eh? My only hope is to avoid being crushed early and play 'turtled' till the end-game. Maybe it's also that I'm beating the pulp out of my other MP game.

-Smack

Kassiopeia · August 24, 2001, 16:15

Of course, and above all that, a double post

Kassiopeia · August 24, 2001, 16:16

*airs numerous Finnish curse words inconceivable to other Geckos*
Looks like my Hotmail is having a bad day

Methinks you'll have to send it again to a.helin@phpoint.net

Avenoct · August 25, 2001, 00:05

Egad. I'm glad I came over here to start looking for the turn. Next time, maybe email me directly kass? Sorry you didn't get the turn I didn't know till just now.

'Lady Smack'

SmartFart · August 25, 2001, 09:56

I am going to Amsterdam tonite. Wont be home next 10 days or so.
I prefere not to have a substitute when am away,but if you insist thats OK.

See ya when am back.

Regards.

SF

Avenoct · August 25, 2001, 11:05

Um

Well, I think it's time to call in HObbes. 10 days is too long to me. If you get to read this before you go, email hobbes (or PM) and tell him of your strategies. Give him your password too if he's forgotten. This is just what we have a CMN for.

-Smack

Kassiopeia · August 25, 2001, 17:13

That was my mistake, Smack. But you sent the turn was 7 AM and a Saturday morning, so

no prob.
Which reminds me, while you're at it, I'd like all future email be sent to a.helin@phpoint.net because Hotmail is getting way too jumpy on me.
And HObbes should replace SF, it's ten days!
Oh, and of course 2128 to Vytae.

Vytae · August 26, 2001, 14:58

Doan see no 2128 in my box Kass =)
