Nato Unravelled - 2 - Third thread for turn reporting

Googlie · March 11, 2002, 22:35

Figured as the old one was so slow in loading, time for a new one (and good year, too, at 2200)

2201 to Tau

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

I will take NS's last base next turn. I have asked him to change to a scout and burn it.

NS:

I really am *sorry* to welcome you to this game this way. But the way your research was going, I had already resolved long before you arrived to do something about it. It is unfortunate that you arrived just in time to sit and watch. (I liked the unity rover against the fusion silksteel sentinal. Nice touch.)

See you in future games. I look forward to them.

Ah well. Next time, then, fellas. If you have a rematch, include me, please. I'd like the honor of kicking BC's butt back to Earth.

I will burn the base down as asked...

Tau Ceti · March 12, 2002, 18:09

2201 to Googlie.

Though it will not help me one bit, at least I finally managed to beat big_canuk to the Cloning Vats in one of these games.

The council has been called to discuss the matter of a global trade pact. Foreman Tau Ceti has voted Nay.

Thanks for the game, NS. Shame it did not last longer.

NorthSwordsman · March 12, 2002, 23:30

Turn to BC.

The scout will take 2 turns, as I do not have enough EC's. When the scout is completed, it will obliterate the base.

2202 to Tau

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

Election for Planetary Governor called.

Tau Ceti · March 13, 2002, 16:56

Now there is a surprise.

2202 to Googlie. I did not get a message with the result, since big_c called the council again immediately, but I expect the trade pact was defeated?

Now taking bets on how long I will last. I give myself the benefit of the doubt and say 10 turns.

NS, looks like you will get another turn. Big_canuk moved a unit onto the rocky square you were using and delayed your production.

NorthSwordsman · March 13, 2002, 17:05

BC, will you quit messing with me already? Isn't it enough you have pounded me into the fungus and killed everyone? I keep my word! The base will be destroyed, just need a unit to do it with.

Googlie · March 14, 2002, 11:27

2202 to NS

Election for Governor hangs on NS's vote

(Tau: 307votes ......... b_c: 687 votes, with NS to vote)

NorthSwordsman · March 14, 2002, 15:59

2202 to BC.

It will take 3 turns now because I was robbed of the one mineral producing square in my base radius by BC.

Final Vote:

Tau Ceti 308 (voting: Tau, NS)
B_C 687 (voting: BC, Googlie)

big_canuk · March 16, 2002, 16:27

lol...

2203 to Tau

Tau Ceti · March 17, 2002, 10:16

2203 to Googlie.

After that mistake, my life expectancy has dropped to about 5 turns.

Googlie · March 17, 2002, 13:44

2203 to NS

NorthSwordsman · March 17, 2002, 16:28

2203 to BC. One turn to scout.

big_canuk · March 18, 2002, 02:22

2204 to the hopefully now blind, Tau.

Tau Ceti · March 20, 2002, 18:13

<-- Stevie Wonder smilie

Oh well. I am going away for over two weeks soon (22 Mar till 9 Apr). I had intended to play on and see if I could slow the tide a little bit (especially with Fusion Power), but now that I have a bunch of elite Chaos Invaders in the very core of my empire, there is little point even in that. Might as well surrender now.

2204 to Googlie in any case...

Googlie · March 20, 2002, 20:50

2204 to NS for the kamikazi ritual

NorthSwordsman · March 20, 2002, 20:55

2204 final to BigC.

*sound of cataclymastic blast*

big_canuk · March 21, 2002, 00:27

2204 to Tau.

-------

Great. That's 2 for the good guys. And my elite LOC was just coming on line next turn. (Along with wave copters).

I have *never* been able to use those beasts. I always win or loose before they come.

I can play on, but you are right. Stopping is probably the best.

This was a real fun one. I never knew how much I like the Gaians. Early centari mediation for 2 nut fungus, and empaths, to help my early pop boom was key, I think. And as I said in another thread: G and I must have cashed about 20 AAs. I think we got more tech from AAs and steals, than we researched ourselves.

Again, good game!

NorthSwordsman · March 21, 2002, 02:00

I'm just itching for a rematch after Tau gets back.. just to kick your butt , BC. Grudge match? Naw... I just want a fair crack at you. No more wimpy factions like the Uni, either. Drones for me. I can make the Drones sing soprano.
