Well, right now, Morgon Indsustries is broke, in recession, food riots, rabid worms on the border inbound, and it's raining.

I hate the rain.

Colonel, we are receiving yet more diplomatic communiques.

Who from this time?

All of them, Colonel.

Everybody wants a piece of us, Lieutenant. These are treacherous waters indeed. We will keep to the commitments we have made, and see to our defenses. Keep trying to make contact with the remaining factions, we must have full information if we are to avoid fatal missteps. Egad, it's like doing the tango in a snake pit.

Hi all:

Move 2121 on its way to Mongoose!

Meanwhile . . . .

======================

The recon unit came into the fortifications in an excited state. "Sir, addressed the specialist to Brother, "the Hive force has withdrawn!

"Yes, we have concluded a tentative truce with the Hive provided they stay out of our territory! We need to remain vigilent as we have been down this path before with the Hive! Send word to our allies that the Hive forces have withdrawn but remain within quick striking distance and still can be seen by our recon forces within distance of our bases." responded Brother.

Morgan Industries FIANNLY built thier very 1st inferstructure on this new planet. Slave Labour is needed.

Mongoose · March 21, 2002, 00:42

With one thing or another, this game has absolutely no pace whatsoever.

knowhow2 · March 21, 2002, 07:39

I think arborman is having hardware problems.

I'll be out of town from the 27th till the 2nd (5 days). Can't play any turns during that time since I got no lap top or any other access to computers. Sorry about the dealy. Real Life.

Mongoose · March 21, 2002, 14:35

No problem. You probably won't even cause a delay.

arborman · March 21, 2002, 14:54

Sir! Our communications infrastructure is back online Colonel.

Good. What was the problem anyway?

Our scientists seem to think we were receiving multiple copies of messages from a parallel dimension. Some sort of program conflict in the hardware. I personally suspect they have no idea what was going on.

Yes, I imagine you are right, Major. How go the military preparations? The southern threat has become too much, and we must deal with it forthwith.

In fact, Colonel, one of our impact rover units has a portion of their army in range, and we can move at any time.

I have already communicated our intentions to the so-called "peacekeepers." Commence the assault immediately!

Yes sir, I am relaying the orders now.

"Excerpt from the "Survivors Digest" Volume 5, page 1.

"The fighting was short but fierce. The Scout patrol of the enemy put up a token resistance, but folded before the power of the Lead elements. This correspondent, for one, finds it unlikely that this first salvo of what is likely to be along and brutal war is any indication of things to come."

Hi all:

Move 2123 received, played and passed on to Mongoose!

on to Chairman Yang.

My appologies for the reload: I think I became too confident in a new RAM Booster program I've been using!

John Paul Jones · March 22, 2002, 02:41

The Chairman's eyes darted back and forth, his quick mind taking in the latest reports from the frontiers; his calm composure belied the news the holo-screen imparted. The Believers had refused to accept his cease-fire offer and threatened to bring their neighbours into the conflict. And the Spartans had unveiled their plans to annex the Peacekeepers! How long before the whole Planet is at war, he wondered. He turned his back on the gathered members of the Party and stood in silence focusing his attention for a brief moment on the clearing clouds beyond the view-deck of the People's Hall. Chiron's two setting suns had made an appearance after the storm and now their last rays emblazoned the backdrop beyond the enclosed biosphere of Society Grid. His muse was broken by the Defence Minister's interruption. '"You will be pleased to learn that we have broken the back of the University resistance Sheng-Ji, I have sent them your final ultimatum". And so his plan had worked, night had already fallen in the war-torn lands east of the Hive, it was going to be a long one for the Provost...

REALLY dumb question- am I allowed to commuincate with anyone (as I seem to have comlinks with them), or only those I am in direct contact with?

If not, apologies to those I just sent a message to.

If so, it would really explain why postion sucks so much compared to what it sounds like everyone else is going...weapons! Guns! Rovers! The ability to accoplish anything with imeditae drone riots! Such pleasures money cannout buy it seems....

Mongoose · March 22, 2002, 11:33

Contact or other in-game acquisition of the commlink is required.

John Paul Jones · March 23, 2002, 23:31

The University, on the brink of obliterating their last base have signed a pact submissive to the Hive and agreed to attack the Believers (Although their current diplomatic staus with the University reads as 'treaty'

). Predictably enough the AI stepped in for the Gaians and informed me they were intervening on behalf of the Believers (Although the current diplomatic staus between the University and them is 'truce'

). What a tangled web we weave when we first learn to practice deceit !

The Hive also announces it will gather together the Planetary Council next year to discuss the current crisis. A neutral venue (Morgan Collections) has been proposed to hold the talks

I contacted everyone via comlinks, so I *ASSUME* I can call a Plantary Council next year (sorry Yang, I wasn't sure this turn).

EDIT- I didn't understand the last time. Also note I don't know if Ironwood contacted you with the commlinks before he left the game...if he did NOT please tell me in the reply message not to talk to you so I know! (And if anyone does want me to host the convenetion in a totally netrual setting, send me your comlink somehow!)

The agenda will be Election of Planetary President. Does anyone else wish to bring anything else up on the meeting agenda, if so please state so.

Unless someone jumps at 1st, the meeting will be held at Morgan Industries Captail City. We have the best catering on Planet I might add. Hope to see you there.

John Paul Jones · March 25, 2002, 04:24

Oh well...there goes all the credits i could have made from selling your comm-link ! Unless stated otherwise, you shouldn't contact other factions until you have made physical contact with them or aquire their comm from someone else. It's possible to set up a PBEM without the links in the menu but it's just taken for granted you dont use 'em until you get them (your diplo-status goes from blank to truce)

btw...anyone know what the other set up options are for this game ? I noticed spoils of war is turned off anyway, I'm just wondering whether re-start eliminated factions is active or not. If it is then this game can't finish b4 2200...sigh
