MY 2253 to Reggy.

Black Sunrise · November 26, 2001, 09:02

Why do we always start new threads? Doesn't it lose our roleplaying and whatnot? I like to be able to see how I was doing, or what I was posting about, 50 turns ago.
Maybe it's just me.

2253 ot Hobbes

Well, our conquering days are over for now. Our people are growing war weary and it is now time to spend some time on the domestic issues. We have been in a state of war for almost 500 years.

Our good leader Black Sunrise, while relatively new at his post, I'm sure will do the planet good and ensure the alien fungus is controlled if not eliminated.

Onwards.

Rushing infrastructure across the board.

Our people are interested to note Comrade Reggys creation of the first Planet Buster missile this year.

Move sent.

It is an Apolyton rule that we keep threads as small as possible. A size of 150 posts is the typical limit. I have personally asked MarkG and he confirmed that as I didn't liked chopping a thread into part also.

Yes it is true. Best that a peaceful nation such as our people own this technology rather than a nation not so bent on peace.

Turn to be done after work today!

Black Sunrise · November 27, 2001, 11:55

Ahh, yes, of course. You keep building PB's, Brother. We will work on our roads and forests. Your continuing efforts to keep us safe are appreciated.

Reggy · November 28, 2001, 02:01

Why thank you brother Sunrise! It is soooooo nice to be appreciated. In actual fact, you have made a wise observation and I have gone back to working on our facilities. I can now see why they made you President.

turn to Hobbes

Black Sunrise · November 28, 2001, 02:08

No Brother, I for one would feel much safer if you continued to build PB's. In fact, build one (or more!) in every city.
Of course, for the sake of aiding in our peacekeeping role, donating those that reach completion would be a most generous move.

Again you make a good point. I assume the donations would start with the weakest fractions first, then up? I will put some thought to it. I believe this philosophy is called "MAD"

Black Sunrise · November 29, 2001, 12:53

I regret to announce the loss of the Hobbit city to the Caretakers. Some form of mind mind control probe was used.

Move sent.

Black Sunrise · November 29, 2001, 12:54

In RL, I worked a double, my move arrived an hour after I went to work.
My ex was driving my spare car and got in 2 accidents this morning.
Christ.
Sigh.

It seems that the Caretakers are hard opponents..."

Turn to 2255 to Hobbes

Our people people are fully behind the Hobbit folk in their battle against evil. We have pledged the full support of our air force, navy and intellegence agency to their cause.

Captain Reggy, if you gave a PB to the Hobbit people (who may be the weakest right now, but have great potential if their war goes well), I think that it would be
a) a great gesture of good faith
b) interesting to see if he kept it for safety, or used it on the Squids (I think a PB would split that landmass in two, offering him clear chance to conquor the closer half, then landslide into the survivors
c) interesting, from a game play point of view.

Definately don't give it to me (or if you do, give me the third or so), as you are the only person big enough to make it worthwhile to use on, yet we have been too closely allied for two long for me to feel right about that.

Reggy · December 1, 2001, 13:18

How about this for now. I'll just savely keep the technology parked with me. I know that eventually, given enough time, we will all have the capability. My view is to have enough in stock to make their use impractical.

In any event, why don't you start picking off a few alien cities in the north?

H0bbes · December 2, 2001, 00:28

Aaah well, what comes around goes around I suppose.

Hobbes

Black Sunrise · December 2, 2001, 04:15

Hmmm. Hobbes, if you'd like, I will open a northern front against the Squids. If your war is going very well, though, you are welcome to the bounty of it. Your call here.
