No deep thinking allowed

I will play the turn tonight

Flubber · April 29, 2003, 19:49

turn was passed this morning

Hercules · April 29, 2003, 20:54

Turn 2226 to the Thinker

Darsnan · April 30, 2003, 07:27

Ladies and Gentlemen of the council, While supervising my troops, I have happened across some "Endangered" tiles, this indicates that sea levels will soon rise.

Prepare yourselves, and build a pressure dome in any base falling in the area of an endangered tile. I haven't the tech to launch the solar shade, so that is all...

On to Flubber.

Flubber · April 30, 2003, 11:14

I have the turn and should play tonight

I would ask however that whomever received the warning of the searise should post the details of it. Its one of the quirks of the game that only one player gets the notification and the practice and etiquette of my other games has been that everyone gets told by the person that receives the notification.

I sugesst we follow the same practice. I did not have a searise warning on my last turn.

Flubber · May 1, 2003, 14:00

hmm

2227 to hercules.

I also have endangered squares that I did not see before.

Flubber · May 6, 2003, 18:37

Is someone gone away or busy or did we have an email misfire??

Hercules · May 6, 2003, 20:51

I received the sea level rise warning. First time it has happened to me. Sorry didn't know procedure. I think it was the usual 20 years but don't recall the level.

It all those PBs

We're all going to drown.

Turn 2227 to Darsnan

I suspect we're nearly back on course.

Thanx for the warning Herc, and yes, I do believe that Planet is responding directly to the threat posed by the PB's. Regardless, The Consciousness will not stop building its prototype Fusion Warhead, as we do feel a policy of MAD is the only way to deal with the rogue state calling itself The Drones....

And speaking of which, on the the Head Drone!

Well, this is fun. My ISP has a service blackout.

I can't get the turn! Darsnan can you route the turn to wgabrie@yahoo.com? At least that way it will be accessable to me.

Now I've got to track down a PC copy of Alien Crossfire!

wgabrie · May 8, 2003, 10:31

On second thought maybe you're better off with a replacement player. I can't find the UK site that was selling alien crossfire.

Flubber · May 8, 2003, 12:55

I will be unavailable for a few days, so unless you think your inability to play will be permanent, I would say avoid temporary replacements. As I understand it, you should be fine as soon as you get ISP service back??

Maybe I don't understand your problem but couldn't you copy the game turn straight from your yahoo account and save it to a disk to play on your regular computer and then reverse the process to send it out? Or is there a compatibility issue?

There is no better Drone player than you, wgabrie, and we only want the best Drone for this game!

Anyways, looks like Flubber's gonna be offline for a while, so I'd say lets wait and see what shakes out. Wgabrie: you may also want to ask Ellie (she's also "May" over @ CGN) about where she got her copy of SMAX just a couple of months ago. FYI.

Turn to wgabrie's other account

An Update on my situation:

It seems that both my computer, and the one I'm using to access the internet both have CD-burners on them.

So far I'v gotten the turn to my computer and played it, but I seem to have made a bad choice in disks. The Mac refuses to burn the CD-R(readable) disk claiming it's locked. My next task is buying a CD-RW(Read/Write) disk, but I won't be able to get to the store until after mothers day.

Till then Ta-taa!

wgabrie · May 12, 2003, 11:46

It Workes! Turn to flubber.

Hercules · May 21, 2003, 12:38

Flubber did you receive the last turn from born again Wgabrie. It should be
MY2228. Appreciate you're probably exhausted and changing nappies.

Flubber · May 21, 2003, 16:52

Turn was received but I did not get a chance to play it. I have managed to whip off some of my shorter turns (those that take 10 minutes or less) but this one takes a bit of time -- I have 3 longer games held up and I am thinking I might get this one out sometime tonight--

I do hope to play regularly again as the little guy is already showing an inclination toward longer naps

Flubber · June 8, 2003, 18:39

Found this one and played it-- It appears that the game itself is punishing me for my inattention in this game as I lost a base to Drone riots to the consciousness--

2228 to hercules

--------------------------------------------------------------

In the news today, Chancellor flubber regretfully announced that the university was ending its longstanding pact with the drones. Flubber stated that " we can no longer maintain a close association with those that would wield nuclear weapons as a possible threat against their neighbors. WE ask all the nations of PLanet to join in this peaceful sign of disapproval"

Woo-hoo! Free Stuff!
Now here's a good question: aren't I supposed to get a tech everytime I "conquer" a base, or is this situation an exception here, as I didn't get one of Provost Flubber's juicy techs when The Consciousness assumed control of the Uni base?

On to Foreman wgabrie, who may or may not be online anymore.

Hercules · July 7, 2003, 06:09

Ok I am back. what's happening here now. I suspect we need a replacement for Wgabrie, which is a shame.

Flubber · July 7, 2003, 12:34

well we all knew that you ( hercules) were away so I believe we all just let things sit, hoping wgabrie would resurface. Since there has been no word from him, I agree that a replacement is warranted.

Flubber · July 24, 2003, 11:21

Should we post for a replacement??

Hercules · July 24, 2003, 12:01

Yes. Unfortunately as you may know I can't post new threads at the moment

Hercules · August 1, 2003, 09:47

so could some post a replacement thread.

Blut0 · August 5, 2003, 00:45

I'm new to pbem, so I won't be offended if you don't want a newbie learning the ropes in your game. But I'm willing if you are.

I do have one question, I've read about an energy bank cheat that many CNM's allow, but I don't know what it is.

Thanks

Lazerus · August 5, 2003, 08:04

I'm also interested if you can't get Blut0 into it.

Hercules · August 5, 2003, 08:58

HI have suggested BLut0 take the Chiron saga game and Lazerus the MAbb game. But note Flubber in Mabb is going on holiday soon.

Also either of you may care to look at Yang goes Native, which has been stalled for a while, even I haven't played a turn yet as repalcement.

Lazerus · August 5, 2003, 09:39

Fine with me

Kris_no1@hotmail.com if you wanna send me the details and a quick rundown of whats happened.

I don't know an energy bank sbheat but I am aware of the stockpile energy bug. The game will give you both mineral production toward completeion AND energy from the stockpile energy IN THE SAME TURN if you place stockpile energy in the queue after building a unit

Many games allow this since the extra cash can speed the game.
