Were you alright?

I've been wondering why you sometimes seemed a little ... (I'm kidding. You seemed perfectly normal. )

I was fine. You know in the old game Pole Position when you hit the car in front of you and it bounces away from you? I looked just like that.

My car took some damage, but was still driveable (although this was the begining of the end). I felt bad for the people I hit, who were a family of hispanics (mom and dad and 3 kids) driving someone else's car from California to Canada. Sometimes I wonder what ever happened with those people.

No, I was like that before the accident.

I am normal! I swear!

Please don't do this again. How could you let your comrades worry for you like this. Plus nobody will dare to drive in front of you any more.

What version of Pole Position do you play? Whenever I run into other vehicles in that game I'm always blown up!

Are you sure? I seem to remember the car bounced away. Perhaps it's another racing game...

Is it arcade converted to console or what? Pole Position is a really old game.

Is it me, or have the people disappeared into their private forums? Or is it too early in the game for ingame social exchanges?

While on the theme of "disappearances", I suppose this is as good a place as any to post my final message. I am leaving the ACDG and Apolyton. I am unlikely to return.

Good luck with the game.

Why? Are you joking?

Anyway, I guess the general forum will become more active once there are propaganda wars or so.

I seriously considered it. But then I realised it would be unfair for the CyCon, as the main motivation would be obtaining plaintext to perform a plaintext attack on your 2nd enycrption.

This is looking really suspicious. I wonder if any black market kind of activity has been started?

And that explains why the Hive is at the bottom of the power graph...

Does this include the "Spammers Club" thread?

Yeah I kindof figured that.

Between the IC story which is already a quarter of a book in length. The multiple forumn games and then the article writing for Pavada. Also we have all those laws being hammered out, and elections of judges etc. Well we're barely paying attention to the actual game.

Like maybe one person actually concentrating on the game for maybe 10 people concentrating on the forum.

My latest information is that for the last turn it was one person actually concentrating on the game for 20 people concentrating on the forum.

Friends in other factions, please try very hard to find us because we may not find you for a while.

Wow... Not only are we the most active, we have the best news service (talking quality not quantity ).

After all that work getting 3D together, give me a large Xenobrew with a Black Stuff chaser If anyone want's to read the new edition, free copies are available here.

If the Schwabian Telecom people had been "getting thier arses in gear" (to quote his own words) any sooner for our deputy chairman, the number for Hive would have been 5.70 and 2.51.

That isn't a good enough excuse. Every faction has a core of very active people and a group of less active. For example, when I look at the post frequency in our forum, there are only three very active people, five moderately active people, and two people I have hardly seen post.

How's the situation in other factions?

(Edit for spelling error.)

Maybe 4 very active people, 4 moderately active people, 2 where the heck did they go?, 4 wow I didn't even know they were in our faction, 6 who is this person I've never seen them before.

If it wasn't for the efforts of HongHu, I'm sure the Hive would be coming last in the member to post stats.

Ouch. Even the biggest faction has only 4 very active people. Well, currently there's enough activity in our forum, but if at one point in the game activity drops severely, I guess two factions, who completely trust each other and will aim for cooperative victory , could merge by allowing each other in their private fora, thus doubling the activity.
