Hi Googlie:

I noted in Rastas note that your taking his place in the game for several weeks. Please be informed that when you complete the move send it to me Radman at bferdy@cs.com. Hopefully I can remember my password as its been awhile. Thanks.

Radman

Hi all members of this game:

I sent Flotax a note today asking him if he would perhaps e-mail Googlie the move that normally goes to Rastas... to jump start this game and get it going again.

When Rastas gets back, lets all make an attempt to move at least once a day. Otherwise, this game is going to die a slow death. I for one, have been part of too many such games. Unless it picks up, I'll try to find you a replacement for me. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Hi all:

To get the game "Jump started", I am re-sending Flubber my last move. This move was sent at 7:18 Mountain Standard Time (MST). Let's keep it moving once it starts and don't forget to post when you send and receive a move. It will really help things along. What do you say?

Radman

Googlie · December 5, 2001, 13:23

Sorry guys - my fault

2106 has been sent to Radman

Ant future turns i play for rasta, could you send them to me at linfrew@aol.com (I downloaded the turn from mybc.com a couple of days ago into who-knows-where file and forgot about it. (I have a separate desktop folder "PBEM Saves" that AOL downloads directly into but I can't set up mybc that way)

Anyway, sorry. Next turn will be turned faster, I promise

2109 to Radman

Stochastic Googlie was perturbed. Supreme Warrior Rasta had left explicit instructions for conduct while he visited the rejuv annexe to the Recycling Tanks, but they hadn't covered one contingency.

So the grizzled stochastic had exercised initiative, and nature's baffles had caught it, altered and amplified it like it were a discordant resonance, and cast it back.

What were these young pups doing? Drone riots indeed. Googlie had despatched the garrison force to investigate a mysterious pod lying just inside the base perimeter and the young bucks had taken advantage of the garrison's absence to run amock through the streets. They'd deserted their tasks and by Googlie's reckoning had set back production at the base by a complete Manifold turning around its prime.

He resonated softly to himself, his mandibles fluttering in agitation:

"I remember life on the Rim Systems, when old Joshua Marr was our revered leader. They'd have been nerve-stapled for that affront. But we've grown soft under the command on the s-427 of old Josh's offspring, the brash upstart Judaa Marr. Young Conqueror Rasta learned from him as a junior officer, before they split. Much too lenient in my view.

"But I hope he shows some leniency to an old dulltusk like me. I'll have to show him what I did with the energy allocations - that'll curry some favor from him when he emerges."

Googlie shuffled off to check on the status reports on the colony pod convoys, harsh and angry resonances still emanating from him as he left his quarters.l

Radman · December 9, 2001, 22:14

Hi all fellow Conquerors and Greenies!

Move 2109 received at 3:34 pm and forwarded on to Flubber at 7:14 pm MST. Great storyline Googlie! In regards to finding pods and artifacts, about the only items on this hunk of planet is mind worms. Where Gians when you need them?
