Yikes! I am in a tiny, little town this week. It's almost impossible to get online for more than a few minutes at a time.

and unfortunately he's there for work as well

you have to like his dedication though-- he does usually manage to get his turns out even when traipsing across America

I have endangered tiles all over the place this turn! How long has sea rising been going on and how far might I expect it to do so?

Archaic · July 1, 2002, 22:26

I never recieved any Ecodamage warnings. Only noticed it this turn while looking around the map.

I think that last turn was the first turn as I saw endangered squares as well ( on all my 10m land-- this map has a lot of that) but I did not get the warning either-- Is it a set thing who gets it in MP ? or does the warning go out randomly or when the ecodamage limit is hit?

I believe that it is common practice to notify all players of such warnings so whoever sees such warnings should do so IMHO.

Mongoose · July 2, 2002, 02:19

I'm pretty sure that it's the last player in the turn sequence that gets the warning...and only that player.

I agree with you, Flubber. I mailed Qantaga to that effect when I passed the turn.

Flubber · July 2, 2002, 11:19

I know that Qantaga has been VERY busy travelling and had a lousy connection so I'm guessing he just forgot about it.

Qantaga · July 2, 2002, 11:25

Mea culpa.

Things have been very hectic for me for the past 10 days. My boss gave me an "opportunity" and I had to spend all of this past weekend working on a presentation. I then had to fly out early Monday morning to give the presentation.

I knew that I was holding up several games, against my wishes, so on Sunday night, I played about 10 game turns as quickly as I could to get them on to the next player. By the time I finished, I needed to sleep. Battlefield Earth was one of the first ones I played, so I had many more turns to play before I finished.

I am sorry to have delayed posting the warning for a turn, but I did put a Post-It note in big, capital letters on my monitor and fully intended to post the notification with this next turn.

The sea warning came this very last turn, at the end of my year 2203. The seas will rise approximately 66 meters in the next 20 years.

2205 to Flubber.

I've really got to start checking this thread before I do my turns. Oh well. Turn to Mongoose

2206 to archaic

and mongoose " nice tactic"-- I knew that one but had never actually had it used against me-- How many units did it require?? ( ahh perhaps I should do some tests myself)

Flubber, more than I could afford. There is a nice thread on self destruction at CGN at:

Flubber · July 5, 2002, 16:08

Thanks . . . . I had actually already ready that thread and knew of your massive destruction of the AI with this tactic. I have also used it myself but this is the first time it was used against me to good effect.. Next time nothing in the stack is less than a fusion reactor. (at least it will cost you more units)

I figure that as long as my stacks are small, the destructing party loses as much or more as the player in the blast area. Large stacks = worthwhile destruct targets

Mongoose · July 5, 2002, 18:08

Hmmm. Well, yes, but...there is such a thing as strategic necessity, also.

Flubber · July 5, 2002, 19:37

Very true

Did your destructs against me confirm the fomula in the thread??

Mongoose · July 5, 2002, 19:37

yes

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

In the news tonight, chairman Flubber called a snap election stating that the majority of the population of the Planet were loyal to him. Census reports indicate that the votes available from the various factions are as estimated as follows

Hive 409
Uni 2
Morganites 106
Drones 163
Believers 70

TOTAL 750

The candidates are Flubber and Qantaga and all 409 delegates from Hiveland have declared for Flubber. With the support of this 54 % of the population, it appears the governorship will return to Flubber after a 20 year hiatus

In other news, the believers became infuriated when the Hive would not provide "gifts" of tech and immediately declred a vendetta. Hive defense forces are monitoring the situation.
