Sorry about the delay gang, but I ended up in the operating room Tuesday evening where I had my appendix removed. I'm pretty much fine now and will be playing my turn on a regular basis again. What a week?

Qantaga · September 7, 2001, 08:06

Oh my goodness, WE. What a week, indeed! I'm sorry to hear about your emergency appendectomy. I am glad that you are doing better.

Thanks for the encouragement gang. The whole thing has been like a painful and boring vacation.

Turn to Viriato.

I apologize for the reloads. When I finished the Neural Amplifier it would fritz out my color scheme and I can't see what's going on. I can usually avoid this because it tends to happen when the opening menu comes up and I just reload the game before opening the save file, but when I build projects it occasssionally does this still. I think it has something to do with runnning Compuserve and the game at the same time, but it doesn't always happen. I logged off, restarted, reloaded and it played fine.

WE, no problem on the reload.

I have a suggestion that might help. The same thing happens to me occasionally, especially if I am online during the turn. Like you, it usually pops up during the game options screen before the turns, but sometimes during the turn as well. What I have found is that if I use "Alt-Tab" to toggle out of the game and then "Alt-Tab" again to toggle back in, the graphics are then fixed. It may not help you, but it might be worth a try.

2180 to WE.

FYI...I will be away on a short vacation from 9/13 to 9/19. No SMAC/Xing will be taking place in that time frame. Finally get to visit home after about 2 years.

I am sorry for the reload. I have been quite distracted over the past two days. I loaded the turn on my laptop, only to have the laptop shut off in mid-turn. I didn't even realize that I had not plugged in the power cord until it was too late and the battery must not have had much juice in it.

Last turn from me until Sep 20.

I know the times aren't the best for someone to get some peace of mind but enjoy your holidays as best as you can Theohall.

2182 to WE.

Had a pleasant trip. My father remarried 2 years ago and I keep forgetting how cool my stepsister is. We spent 3 evenings just jabbering away about stuff and none of it was about the big issues going on in the world. That was nice.

Congratulations to our new Planetary Governor.

May your reign see decades of peace on Planet.

Viriato · September 27, 2001, 01:06

LOL

I wonder what the Provost thinks about that

WhiteElephants · September 27, 2001, 12:34

Who? What? I haven't even voted yet. I suppose I'll be the one to seal the deal, eh?

theohall · September 27, 2001, 18:58

At least we made you HAVE to vote

WhiteElephants · September 28, 2001, 18:32

Oh, it was lil' ole' me who was elected. Thank you ladies and gentlemen.

Now, as to the good Provost, I have tried to be a good neighbor. However, three separate times the Provost has launched surprise attacks against my peaceloving people. He has even insisted on making unreasonable demands for energy credits without offering anything in return. Thus, the only reason for our conflict.

Yes, indeed we are. Yikes!

MY 2187 to WE...was a little too inebriated celebrating the Rams victory to get turns out yesterday.

Viriato · October 2, 2001, 19:03

Congratulations Theohall

!
Forgive my ignorance but is that baseball or football?

I'm sorry guys, but I can't be a good boy from now on

On the contrary, I have to be terrible

Viriato, I must say, when you are terrible, you are very good at being terrible.

I think I will be ordering my copy of Vel's 4.0 guide tonight.

If you don't mind me saying so I think Vel's guide is a great starting point for any SMAC player ( I have version 2 printed near my PC) but is not a bible.
