FlameFlash, have you played 2255 yet?

Net Warrior · March 18, 2005, 09:39

I just PM'ed FlameFlash, asking about the move.

H0bbes · March 21, 2005, 06:24

On to Herc.

Hercules · March 21, 2005, 11:18

Turn 2256 to Netwarrior.

I have proposed launching Solar Shade. Hope it will also have your support, though don't really know how effective it will be in the short term.

Net Warrior · March 23, 2005, 15:54

I've gotten a little busy. I should have the turn out in a couple of days. Sorry for the delay.

Net Warrior · March 23, 2005, 22:45

2256 to Drones

FlameFlash · March 26, 2005, 01:51

played and sent yesterday.

H0bbes · March 28, 2005, 19:28

2257 to Herc.

Solar Shade proposal passed, levels should rise 333m in 20 years.

Hercules · March 29, 2005, 12:19

Turn 2257 to Netwarrior.

The Hive is down to one base. It is unclear whether the native life or sea water killed the other Hive bases or whether they were self distructed.

FlameFlash · March 30, 2005, 04:10

I know in turns past I've seen quite a few alerts about bases going under...

H0bbes · March 30, 2005, 17:40

They were self destructed. As will my final base when I can build a unit.

Farewell Smurfs!

See you in our next incarnation.

Net Warrior · April 5, 2005, 19:40

...errrr Drones, are you still on the move?

Net Warrior · April 6, 2005, 22:06

FlameFlash hasn't posted anything here in poly since the end of March. I just emailed him. I PM'ed him 2 days ago but haven't heard back from him yet.

H0bbes · April 9, 2005, 02:19

2258 to Herc.

For a while gentle silence enveloped all things,
and night in its swift course was now half gone.

Hercules · April 9, 2005, 19:48

Yes it looks like the end for the Glorious Smurfs this time round.

I thank Hobbes for a fantastic fight over these past few years. He was definitely a tough and worthy adversary.

Net Warrior · April 10, 2005, 16:28

(2258 to Drones)

For the past 20 years, Provost Hercules has held the post of Governor of Chiron. We at Morgan Industries supported the Provost in that bid. Through political back channels, the Smurfs expressed very strong misgivings about the election result and Morgan Industries part in it. It appears now that they had correctly surmised a pending misused of the office of Governor, to their detriment.

The University-Smurf War that soon followed was horrific. The Smurfs were annihilated, and massive global warming resulted from the fall-out.

While it is true that the University did achieve a research breakthrough thereafter, which gave the council the ability to reverse the effects of global warming, it was not until countless hundreds of thousands of souls were lost to massive flooding. This is not success story, and it is time for a change. To that end, my proposal is to elect a new Planetary Governor.

The candidates are Provost Hercules and CEO N. Morgan:

Foreman Flame Flash has 95 undeclared votes
CEO N. Morgan casts 625 votes for himself
Provost Hercules has 361 undeclared votes
Sister Miriam has abstained with her 37 votes

Hercules · April 10, 2005, 20:10

At this moment in time, it still looks as if I will be voting for my self.

Hercules · April 10, 2005, 21:30

It is interesting to note that Morgan Industries turned a blind eye to global atrocities (the Hobbits continuous use of the X gas weapon). That says a lot for their humanitariarn perspective.

Provost, as you can see from the above quoted passage, Morgan Industries found the Smurfs actions justified. No blind eye was caste. We here at Morgan Industries pride ourselves on running a green economy. We fight limited wars, as need be. Case in point; we are expecting Miriam to surrender to us within the next decade, at which point most of her bases will be returned to her as she becomes a new Pactmate.

FlameFlash · April 16, 2005, 02:03

Your allies in that noble war against Miriam hope that when that time comes you encourage her to end hostilities with us. Then we can focus on the larger threat of the aliens and attempt for all of the humans to unite to fight this common foe, who just this year finally made contact with the Drones and declared vendetta.

((Problem fixed, presentations done, hopefully this is the slow slide to the end of the academic semester and into summer.))

H0bbes · April 16, 2005, 04:36

Finis.

See you all in another incarnation.

Then at once apparitions in dreadful dreams greatly troubled them,
and unexpected fears assailed them;
and one here and another there, hurled down half dead,
made known why they were dying;
for the dreams that disturbed them forewarned them of this,
so that they might not perish without knowing why they suffered.

FlameFlash · April 16, 2005, 16:08

Good playing with you, Hobbes.

I guess I send my turns to Herc now?

Hercules · April 16, 2005, 19:03

Turn 2258b to Netwarrior. As Hobbes noted turn OK but year didn't change; so turn MY2258b sent to Netwarrior.

Hobbes thanks for the game.

You put up one hell of a fight.

It was all that territory encroachment thing that started it.

Net Warrior · April 18, 2005, 21:07

(2258 B to Drones)

Ladies and gentlemen of Earth,

As my 1st act as your new Governor, I have proposed to the council to increase solar shade. This measure should insure a continued drop in sea level. The voting so far has been Sister Miriam yea, and Governor Morgan yea.

I am sure that, had it not been for his untimely demise, Poppa Hobbes of the Smurfs would have voted yea as well. As the well-being of planet now falls to me, as Governor, I will do everything necessary to fulfill this grave and awesome responsibility.

***Notice***
The Believers have been subjugated to Morgan Industries. As such, they are now placed under the protection of Morgan Industries, and any act of war against them with be considered an act of war against Morgan Industries.

A message from your Governor:
The proposal to increase solar shade has been passes by the council. I now call upon another faction to propose still anohter increase in solar shade. The time to act to save Earth from further distruction is now!

Turn 2260 To Netwarrior.

I was the first to propose launching Solar Shade, so can 't do it again for a few years.

FlameFlash · April 27, 2005, 14:27

Upon reciept of the next turn we drones will propose a solar shade.

Let now be the time to begin striking at the alien menace now that all surviving human factions are at peace.

Net Warrior · April 29, 2005, 19:31

2260 to Drones

Foreman FlameFlash,

I have designated a rallying point southwest of Hawaii, at grid 115, 64. I plan to move equipment there within the next 3-4 years that will allow me to construct a combat-base / air-base on a nearby island just off the Usurper northern coastline. From there I plan to launch the final invasion. You are welcome to use this facility as you see fit during the upcomming battle.

A note of caution, foreman, I have spotted some 1-<5>-1 elite Usurper troopers in close proximity to one of your liberated Beilever bases.

Gouvernor and CEO
N. Morgan
Morgan Industries

FlameFlash · April 30, 2005, 22:21

I hope that this rallying point also means that the current war with Herc is over, dear Morgans. I look forward to working with you against the alien threat but hope that this base won't also be used against Herc if hostilities have continued there.

I too have noticed the threat of those 1-<5>-1 units and am hoping to aim toward new technologies soon which may allow me to combat them better.

((Turn will be played shortly.))
