Democracy in Peril (2) Turn thread

Googlie · September 13, 2001, 11:45

Players, in turn order, are:

shadowlords3 - Morgan
NorthSwordsman - Peacekeepers
Qantaga - Drones

Starting year is 2102 (I played 2101 with no unit movement in order to set passwords)

Yang has the Empath Guild, and has called planetary elections. His 3 slaves have voted for him (Aki is the other candidate).

Good luck

Googlie

2102 has been sent to shadowlords3

I just happen to see this thread and now I'm excited to get started. However I did not receive the turn yet. Must be my e-mail again. Googlie if you read this could you please resend to dmshadowlord3@yahoo.com and shadowlords@columbus.rr.com
Thanks a million for all your hard work. We are currently playing axis and it is a blast and I'm sure Democracy in Peril will be just as much fun.

Googlie · September 13, 2001, 14:23

turn resent to both e-mail addies

shadowlord3 · September 13, 2001, 14:26

Googlie you are fast, I have received them and the game has started. Thanks again for all your help.

Shadowlord3

NorthSwordsman · September 13, 2001, 15:37

Turn to Tom.

Election Results: Yang 3
Aki 0

???????????????? If you didn't have a base yet, apparently you don't get any votes that count. ODD!

Googlie · September 13, 2001, 16:34

If you remember the original game, I gave the Hive The Empath Guild. To do so, I needed to start the Hive with a base (to put the Guild in).

Hence he has population (x 1.5 'cos of the EG itself) and thus votes.

NorthSwordsman · September 13, 2001, 16:40

He won't keep it for long.

Not with Lal (me) around.

Thanks for setting this up, G. I appreicate the hard work.

Good luck you guys!

I'm in the prior version of this game and just happened to notice this thread. It's been a very good game so far; you'll love it. Googlie will probably tell you that you're all gonna get killed, but I bet you know what to tell him back.

Remember the parameters:

Yang has subjugated the researchers, Zak and Aki, and has also kissed and made up with Corrie, whose Elites make up his muscle.

...and he starts with Industrial Automation and Doctrine Air ...

(just kidding)

DiP 2103 and Axis 2187 to NS.
Wish I knew what the map layout was for DiP.
Axis: The Drones have airpower and all 4 computers are now fighting me. I will keep them busy and minus a few crawlers/formers to the planes until we get air power.

NorthSwordsman · September 14, 2001, 13:40

2103 to Tom.

how about giving US airpower, String Disrupters and Quantum reactors. Be a short game. :-). Of course, Googlie would probably

me.

Googlie · September 14, 2001, 14:02

I've been building a scenario for the past few months (intermittently) based on the Harry Turtledove alternate history novels (the four 'balance' ones and the three 'colonisation" ones)

Usurpers as The Race, with other factions being the US, Britain, Germany, Russia, China and Japan.

For those not familiar with the novels, an alien race's advance warfleet (in advance of its colonists convoy) visits earth in 1943. Imagine F16's against Hurricanes and Mustangs, and laser weapons against line-of-sight rifles and Abrams tanks.

Only thing going for the earthlings is that they have an unlimited supply of manpower and weapons, however primitive, whereas the Aliens' supplies are finite. So it will be in the scenario.

Simulation will pit fission needles (read Hurricanes and Mustangs) against singularity jets (read F16's)

Getting close to completion. Only way to win will be for all six humans to join together and defeat the Aliens before the subspace generators get built.

Will need playtesters before it gets released as a full fledged scenario. Interested?

G.

shadowlord3 · September 14, 2001, 14:46

Yes I would be willing to play test.

Shadowlord3

NorthSwordsman · September 14, 2001, 15:19

You bet I am! I've read the "Balance" series, enjoyed it except for the sex and language. Count me in, G!

shadowlord3 · September 15, 2001, 12:43

Axis and DiP to NS.
Axis, is getting tough.

NorthSwordsman · September 15, 2001, 13:07

oops, forgot to post. Turn to SL.. as you already know! :-).

NorthSwordsman · September 15, 2001, 17:01

Turn to Q. Extra save/load warning. I got distracted by my wife, accidently ended turn before I was done. Sheeze. Sorry.

NorthSwordsman · September 16, 2001, 10:39

To q.

NorthSwordsman · September 16, 2001, 14:42

Turn to Q.

Am I the only one who posts?

Qantaga · September 16, 2001, 16:00

Well, so much for my powers of observation. I didn't even realize we had a thread for this game.

The Drones have landed on an arid and rocky parcel of land. Fortunately, we were able to pop a pod with a monolith and were able to find a mineral deposit close to our second base location. We now have three cities up and running and are trying to get three more Colony Pods outfitted and prepared to establish three more bases.

2108 on to Morgan.

NorthSwordsman · September 16, 2001, 18:41

onto Q.

Have 3 bases, building recyling tanks before going after more colony pods. No sign of the enemy yet. Comms established with the pactmates.

Qantaga · September 16, 2001, 19:40

2109 sent to Morgan.

It looks like I will be the lagging researcher again in this game. When we drones made our run for freedom, we booted those snooty acedemicians out on their hindsides. But, if you guys will send us the schematics, we will pump out units like you won't believe.

NorthSwordsman · September 17, 2001, 06:50

turn to Shadow. I'll keep feeding you stuff, Q. Just feed me some units now and then, lol. :-)

shadowlord3 · September 17, 2001, 07:25

I didnt have time to post yesterday. Bye the time I finished the turn I had at least 2 other turns waiting for me. Plus with the e-mail problems I didnt want to open any extra windows if I didnt need to. (Randy, we played over 30 turns between all 5 games in a short period of time. Games involving all three of us were at least 16 turns.) That was a lot of fun.

Unlike my other 4 games I actually had a decent starting location. I have 3 bases, 1 recycle tank and should have 2 formers my next round. I'm waiting to get to population 2 at one of my bases so I can get a colony pod. want to put a base on the holy grail square and see the results.

shadowlord3 · September 17, 2001, 12:56

Axis and DiP to NS.

Axis next turn I should have bio-engineering and I will send it to both of you. I still need High energy chemistry, Synthetic Fossil Fuels and Doctrine Air Power.

NorthSwordsman · September 17, 2001, 15:26

Q.

shadowlord3 · September 17, 2001, 19:08

Axis and DiP to NS.

I'm researching High Energy Chemistry, forgot to give you Bio Eng and will do so next turn.

NorthSwordsman · September 18, 2001, 04:39

Q.

shadowlord3 · September 18, 2001, 10:05

To NS.

Qantaga · September 18, 2001, 10:14

Hi guys! I will not be posting to this thread very frequently. I will post key events and fill in the storyline from time to time. However, we are playing at such a quick pace that I do not feel the necessity of posting the passing of every turn.

You know how to reach me if you think the game is lost, but I don't think we will have that problem.
