Turn was sent out long time ago, but the forums were down. I was actually witness to receiving it from Phobos and within half an hour had sent the game back to waab again.

The slave will be missed, she made a cracking breakfast

I see you completed the VW thrar, that was quick, last time i noticed you building a project you were only a few turns into it, cashing AA's i assume ?
Planetary Energy Grid has been completed on schedule by the great workers of the Hive.

Laz, in your next turn you may again notice something you did not expect, and won't like much.
However, let me assure you that this step was only taken to take precautions for the case that i may lose governorship sooner or later, and is not meant hostile in any way.
I noticed your probe foil near my shore last turn already, and unless it will go hunting somewhere else in the near future, you can expect it to be sunken, or another, less friendly intrusion into your datalinks.

By the way, i don't know if you know it, but putting stockpile energy in the build queue is considered an illegal move in most games here, since there is some energy bug related to it.
I'm not sure if we said anything on that topic here, but i noticed you are using it, and so maybe we can make clear if it is allowed here or not.

no comment about the VW. God came down and helped me with his own hands or something.

heres me thinking i was just going to have a boring "your greedy pursuit of wealth disgusts me, i will carve you up unless you give me all your tech" conversation with the AI for the next 20turns.
I think i can guess by the sounds of it what you've done

PK's not being hostile

this is why we do not believe your democratic lies

Intrustion into my datalinks ? If you're not talking about your council ability i assume we're at war now ? Wouldn't bother me really, you'd lose more energy from the trades.
The probes are just following pirate foils atm, the initial one was for infiltrating the pirates since they dont like me much (though its amusing how their stance went from seething to co-operative once my military passed theirs, maybe now they'll trade stuff). You've went to quite some measures to avoid being infiltrated anyways, probe every base so far as i can tell ... well ive only passed 3 or 4

so i dont see why you're worried

So you sink my ship, i'll sink yours

wasn't sure about that with this being my first pbem so i read smhfan's rules and have just been following them since other ppl said its ok.
God lol you aint the believers, i would have thought continuing the planetary datalinks would have been infinately more use to you, but thats out of the question now.

Spending on building queues should be allowed, because otherwise those who are LUCKY enough to find alien artifacts have a huge advantage.

what are you talking about arc?

Phobos · July 22, 2003, 08:09

Im not sure but I think he means rush building and i think that alien probes are AA:s. Am I right?

Lazerus · July 22, 2003, 20:16

Turn was sent ages ago, poly down lately.

Quite a surprise thrar

getting me worried like that, just a question though, how could i interpret that action as hostile ? a slight bit intrusive maybe but thats been happening since you got elected

The Pirates complained about me running wealth and demanded a tech again, my reply was to tell them to get lost, needless to say Svens next action has proven he has a deathwish

The Hive navy has occupied a pirate base and will soon be conquering several more, clearing a large section of those dogs from the sea unless Sven has a sudden enlightenment.
Spare resources from the planetary energy grid have been ordered into a new secret project code named "The planetary datalinks" , we expect completion within a year.

Arc, what i meant is placing "stockpile energy" in the build queue, which means - due to a bug - iirc that u get the unit/building completed as usual, and if there are minerals left, you get half of them as energy credits.
However, in your next turn you can use those minerals to build something else, which means in the end you got the extra energy for free.
I checked a couple of your bases again Laz, and noticed this in about half of them - with PEgrid i guess thats about 15-20 more energy per turn than you would get usually.
Either way, i think we should decide if we may use it or not - i could use the extra cash as well.

Lazerus · July 26, 2003, 12:22

PEgrid only increases energy not minerals so that wont affect it ? Also i've read abit more about it and it only works on military units so that means if will have only been affecting the recent foils that ive made to fight the pirates thus little impact, either way make a decision i've just been using rules posted in another thread since it wasn't mentioned and i thought i was following norm.

Workings man hold was liberated this year from pirate forces. Hive forces also destroyed or captured around half of the pirates navy further speeding progress towards their domes.
