I too am sorry for my delay. What time zones are we all in? I am in US Eastern time. I see the Gaians are expanding like mad.

dear everybody in ASPK, ASPK2 & MABB:

the day i've been fearing has come to pass - my home computer finally stopped working altogether.

i can no longer "trick" it into starting windows, which is what i had been doing. it looks like either the motherboard needs to be replaced, or we just need to get a new one. the bottom line is that i can't play anymore until it's fixed or replaced. i can't install games at work.

i know this sucks, and i can't believe it happened. i'm incredibly frustrated about it - i can't even pay my bills at home anymore. i hope you guys aren't too pissed at me. i know i haven't been real on-the-ball as far as getting turns out 15 minutes after they were sent to me, but i was getting them out and having a pretty good time with it. thanks for being patient with me, and thanks for having me in the games.

i'm really sorry about this, and i hope to be able to get involved in some games whenever i have a computer again, if this doesn't completely destroy my reputation (that's the worst part - the first time i ever get in any multi-player games, my computer dies. nice). it might not be for a long time. i realize i'll have to be replaced in the games i'm in. please let me know if there's anything i can do to help. my e-mail address is kazzmaj@aol.com if anyone needs to get in touch.

BH have left us so we probably needs a new player. If any of you two wanna go threesome or twosome Instead I be happy to play you.

Black Sunrise · December 6, 2001, 21:21

Knowhow2: if you want to go threesome, I'm up.
Would prefer lal, I think. I'm having fun with him in my other games.
Don't feel like setting it up myself, though.

Darsnan · December 6, 2001, 21:29

To all,

Darsnan · December 6, 2001, 21:34

OK, lets try that again. Please disregard my previous post - big fingers don't go well with small keyboards.

Anyways, knowhow2 suggested if I was interested in picking up BH's game, to post here.

Here's my E-mail address: dnandal@twcny.rr.com

Look forward to hearing from you and playing against you.

knowhow2 · December 7, 2001, 06:05

okey then,

a replacement found so lets just keep things going for now. I email Tau so that he can email darsnan with the password.

Black Sunrise,

you wanna go for 1 on 1. I'm already in two but I'm up for another one. I can set things up if you want.

knowhow2 · December 7, 2001, 06:17

turn 2124 send to Darsnan

just wait till you get the password from Tau Ceti, our Moderator.

PuddlewatchHQ · December 7, 2001, 07:36

Sorry to hear about your computer trouble BellaHella. Even more sorry that you have to leave the game. Good luck with getting the puter fixed.

Welcome Darsnan. Thanks for joining us, we welome you to our little corner of the Alpha Centauri world.

Darsnan · December 7, 2001, 10:59

Heah PuddlewatchHQ, et al.,
thanx for the warm welcome! I hope pick up Bella Hella's banner and carry it forward with honor, and look forward to meeting all of you on Planet. I've received the game from knowhow2, and am just waiting on the password from Tau Ceti in order to open it. FYI.

Tau Ceti · December 7, 2001, 18:28

Password sent. Welcome to the game, Darsnan!

Bella Hella · December 7, 2001, 18:29

puddlewatch - thanks. i really hope everybody isn't all pissed off at me. believe me, it's more frustrating for me that it is for anyone else. i basically cried when my computer stopped working.

darsnan - i think you'll have fun with this one. good luck!

party on, guys. i'm sorry about this, and i hope you have a great time with the games. hopefully i'll be back to play some more games sometime.

Darsnan · December 7, 2001, 19:19

Heah Bella Hella - I shall try to carry your banner with honor!
To all: my family and I are off to Gaia's Landing (a.k.a Town Hall) to watch the ceremonial decorating and lighting of the First Tree, a tradition carried over from the MotherWorld that is so ancient its origins are lost in the mists of time. I am bringing my 3 children (my family carries the stigma of being a 3 child family, but I'll have it known that 2 are "Replacement Children", 1 for my wife, and one for myself, as established by the Conservation Council, and one allocation donated by my sister-in-law who chose to only have one child) so as to immerse them in proper Gaian traditions. Curious enough, several other factions practice a similar celebration, only in theirs they first kill the tree, then decorate its carcass. We shield our children from this knowledge, and in the future, we hope to convince these other factions of the errors of their ways....
I will be back at approximately 2030 est.

Turn forwarded before leaving. Game on!

Black Sunrise · December 8, 2001, 08:52

Today is like every day. Every day is a holiday. Every holiday is celebrated by working. Everyone works. There were mindworms. They are gone. Only the Hive remains.

knowhow2 · December 8, 2001, 09:40

Black Sunrise · December 10, 2001, 16:32

making Colony pod, colony pod, colony pod
Playing Yang is hard, no energy!
Founded Industrial Crawling, Base #4
Discovered data pod for *****! Thank god, research is impossibly slow, I needed this!
Another pod had energy resourses (in ********, will be handy, in 100 years! hah!, also mindworms.
Am running)

Darsnan · December 11, 2001, 14:33

"Councilman Darsnan! We've just lost another volunteer in the Mindworm capture program!"
"Again? Are you sure they are reading the instruction book correctly"
" 'CEO Morgan's 101 Surefire Mindworm Capture Methods' - yes sir!"
"I don't understand - Morgan wouldn't have sold us a product that didn't work, just to get our credits, would he? Oh well, can we return the book and get our credits back?"
"No sir, it was a shell company which has since gone out of business. We could probably trace out the founder company, but it would probably cost more than what the book was originally worth."
Sigh. "Very well then. Who is the next volunteer?"
"Sir, a Gungan by the name of Jar Jar Binks".
"Binks, eh? Hmmm - why don't you have him try the same approach as the last volunteer".
"But sir, that invoked the worst response from the mindworms yet!"
"Trust me".

Onward to Black Sunrise.

Black Sunrise · December 11, 2001, 15:08

Ordered building solar collectors. We simply must have energy! The good of the people depends upon it! Without energy how can we have the growth we need?
Energy Leads to Growth Leads to Perfection Leads to Success.

between few hours of sleep and school I had one hour of playtime and what happens, hotmail collapsed on me.

"Base, this is Mindworm Capture Team Alpha Zeta. Wild Mindworm spotted at coordinates 65, 23, headed in a northwesterly direction. Reqesting initiation of Mindworm Capture sequence."
"Base to Alpha Zeta: confirmed. Also issue a warning to any friendlies in the area in case capture atempt unsuccessful".
Pause. "....confirmed. To any Friendlies in the area: please be advised of a wild mindworm unit located at coordinates 65, 23, heading in a northwesterly direction. We are attempting Mindworm capture, however, if unsuccessful, the worm will probably continue heading in its current direction, and will probably be upgraded to a hardened status. Alpha Zeta Team out".

On to Black Sunrise.
