Hi all:
Move 2206 to KK
Meanwhile . . .
-----------------------
"Sir, we've received a diplomatic message from the Gaians requesting a treaty through their State Department. stating a softly speaking aid. "Are you sure as military officials and the defense department intelligence reports confirm Gaians attacks with the destruction of an artillery unit on a nearby fire base that overlooks the valley into New Jerusalem. Our forces have responded in a quid pro quo matter. queried Secretary Stone.
The aid quickly responded to the affirmative. The Secretary indicated they would wait prior to responding to the Gaian diplomatic overture to see what developed.

Heard from within the Virtual World...
"I am Captain James 'KK' Kirk. We come in peace. But if you persist in this aggressive fashion... I will order the phasers' to be set on (pause, glance at Spok, and then back at the view screen)..., OBLITERATE!
MWA-HAHA-Haha... "

Given that KK is out 'til 28 August (funeral) I think it would be best if Darsnan played this turn. This one seems more pivotal than the others I have played. I am reluctant to take what I see to be a vital game decision in Darsnan's stead.
Turn forwarded to Darsnan.

First I'd like to thank Mongoose for filling in for me while I was out: I really appreciated it, and I'm sure the other guys were grateful for keeping this game going, as well.
However, I am slightly at a loss as to why you considered this such a pivotal turn: simply attack the Hive. Enough said!
Turn to Leader Radman!

Hi all:
Move 2209 onto KK.
Meanwhile . . .
------------------------------------------------
Hive air recon units looked in disbelief at the destruction left from the retreating Gaians. The once elegant streets of "New Jerusalem" were now clogged with only blackened burnt remains of half standing buildings.
The self destruction of the Gaian city and the innocent citizens who once inhabited the city indicated that "Operation Mongoose" as picked up through communication traffic was thoroughly successful!

What about that other city the Gaians eliminated last turn, as well? Was it "blackened and charred", too? We couldn't tell from the altitude!

Hi all:
Move 2210 onto "D". Ya, the former Spartan city was blackened and charred as well! The Gaians are good at the scorched earth policy! Just another Spartan city gone!

Sorry Guys.
I did an oops, oops.
I somehow (scratch head ), misplaced the save file. I have sent a file to knowhow2 (2209) hoping that I just mislabeled it. If not then I'll have to replay the turn.
I dunno what happened, I'm very systematic with these things. I suspect that I may have been tired and clicked a wrong command when saving it last night...

Okay I'll replay the turn tonight. ( I was kind of hoping that I wouldn't have to, cause it's a long turn!). Sorry guys...

2210 to knowhow2
--------------------------------
I was reloading the turn when I got a brilliant idea ! I figured that if I used Windows Explorer, I could find where I had missplaced the original file. So I (with great anticipation), 'escaped' out of the game, and proceeded in the search... The search turned up nothing. So there will be an additional save/load warning because of this vain attempt... So, all in all, there should be at least 2 and probably 3 such warnings...
Things that turned up different from the original time I played (as best as I can remember) :
- There was a fungal bloom ( from eco-dammage ) that destroyed one of my Farms' + Condensor.
- I forgot to fry a Wild Mindworm ( which will probably eat one of my sensors )
- I forgot that: One of you had put the 'Always investigate Monolith' preference to "on". So when I tried to move my 1-2t-2 to an empty base, it stoped at the Monolith en route (thus ending it's turn).
- One of my naval units ran into a Wild IoD (from which I ran!).
- I forgot to adjust my energy-labs ratio.
- Two combats against Native Life turned out with slightly worst results to me (10-20%).
No pods were popped, no units violated anybodies sovreignty, no raising/lowering of land was performed.

That 'Always Investigate Monoliths' preference is odious!
MariOne has espoused the position, and I concur, that having a unit's turn ended prematurely because of somebody's use of this preference is grounds enough in and of itself for a replay.
Just my $.02. I seem to be posting in other players' threads today 'cause all my games aren't here.

Move 2211 on to KK
Meanwhile . . ..
----------------------------------------
Security council chairman Secretary of State Stone adjourned the meeting which officially closed "Operation Seaside" that had been put into place to secure the country's borders from eastern incursion from the Believers. This threat was no longer.
The Joint Chiefs announce to the Council "Operation Zipper" and "Operation Cloud". The overview was successfully received by the members of the council for ultimate decision by Chairman.
