On it goes once again.

Hello everyone! Viriato was having trouble accessing 'Poly, so he sent me an e-mail. He will be away this weekend attending a wedding and he apologizes for the short delay.

I see that Provost Paul is running at full speed towards the ascendence. Am I about to see someone win by transcendence for the 1st time?

Paul · April 12, 2002, 03:33

Have you never had a game go to transcendence before? I've had a couple of those. Of course, the huge map helps to reduce the possibilities for succesful warfare over long distances, especially early in the game.

Viriato · April 13, 2002, 12:48

As a matter of fact all the games I played ended with a military victory. From my experience sooner or later someone starts a war.
I won ACT043 with a diplomatic victory but that was after a long war with the other factions.

Even now I'm playing a game as the gaians in wich I was aiming for a transcend victory, but in the last turn I noticed that my neighbour (and pactmate BTW) already built one planet buster and is producing more.

2221 (?) to Viriato earlier this morning

H0bbes · April 19, 2002, 18:52

I tried to post yesterday but the site was down & I forgot to include in my email the usual disclaimer regarding the double play you'll all get-- I think. I had the standard TerranX crash thingy.

I've had at least one game where a Misotu won with transcendence despite Googlie lobbing PB's at her. I agree though, 99% of games come down to a conquest sooner or later.

Qantaga · April 20, 2002, 09:26

I am back from a two-week business trip, so I should be able to frequent 'Poly again.

Self-Aware Colony completed.

2221 to Chairman Googlie.

Googlie · April 20, 2002, 21:02

On to Hobbes

H0bbes · April 20, 2002, 23:30

We are happy to announce the capture of the Weather Paradigm.

Onwards.

All the 2's to Paul.

Paul · April 24, 2002, 00:40

Not received. Please send again.

H0bbes · April 24, 2002, 01:21

Resent.

Paul · April 24, 2002, 07:46

2222 to Viriato. You are certainly catching up in tech. But I cancelled our pact and with less trade income you might slow down a bit.

Viriato · April 24, 2002, 20:30

2223 to Qantaga.

That was a low move Provost. But crime doesn't pay, as you should know.

Clinical Immortality complete. Voice of Planet started.

H0bbes · April 25, 2002, 04:03

Turned.

Paul · April 25, 2002, 11:36

2223 to Viriato.

I've been waiting to use this ever since Misotu beat me to transcendence by one turn in ACT003 by cancelling our pact and now that I finally got a chance it didn't work.

You must have had better luck with your research options. I kept getting offered the wrong techs and I still don't have Threshold.
