Heart of Fire Tracking Thread #2

[Chaos Theory]

I'll jump in if you want. I don't have a home internet connection either for a couple of weeks, but I have a work connection that I can access any time of day, with a 15 minute walk.

[Kody]

Sorry to hear about that Frankychan.

ChaosTheory - If everyone else if fine with that, then I'm fine with you playing the turns.

[Frankychan]

Oh!

Kody, thanks for the email. I just got it. Thanks a bunch man.

[Snowflake]

Franky! I'm sooo sorry to hear that. I really really hate to see you go. I've longed to play with you guys since a long time ago.

I don't think the turn time is a problem. Enigma may feel impatient but my first condition of this PBEM is that this game will not be quick turned. Perhaps whoever can't stand that should not have signed up for it. I think I may have to leave soon too, because I wouldn't be able to keep up a fast pace also.

Sorry to hear about the internet access problem at your house. I think my internet access at home may soon have some problems also.

[Enigma_Nova]

HongHu:
No, you'll have to leave soon because the Recon Rovers outside your base won't stay that way for long.

Chaos Theory:
You can join, on one condition.

The "Turn Thread Peanuts Parody" is a parody of this PBEM.
You'll need a character.
Currently assigned are:
Barinthus (CMN) - Charlie Brown
HongHu (Gaians) - Sally Brown
GeoModder (Hive) - Rerun Van Pelt
Enigma_Nova (Uni) - Lucy Van Pelt
Jamski (Morgan) - Peppermint Patty
Kody (Sparta) - Linus Van Pelt
Franky (ex-believers) - Snoopy
Hercules (UN) - Woodstock

I'd put you down as Marcie on first guess, but you'll have to take the test yourself.

[Enigma_Nova]

There's another one.

So, get a position. There'll be some TTPP of you knocking off Snoopy some time soon.

[Jamski]

Ah... shame...

Still, Chaos Theory is welcome to join in, I guess

Speed is definitely not a problem here.

-Jam

[Enigma_Nova]

Grrr... Gimme more speeD!

[GeoModder]

If Chaos Theory wants to join, I've got no objections.
You do now what faction you take over, don't you?

[Chaos Theory]

Yes, I know Franky has Miriam, but despite being weak, she doesn't conflict with how I like to play.

Email address:
LOVELYSPAMbblaha@umr.WONDERFULSPAMedu
though I'm likely to send the turns from another address for a while.

E_N:
Either Marcie, or perhaps more appropriately, Schroeder. The one test is pretty restrictive, and the quizilla one is blocked at work (apparently it qualifies as "mature" material)

[GeoModder]

Chaos Theory: If you haven't done so yet, PM, mail or pay a home visit to either Frankychan or Barinthus for the Believer password. Kody sended appearantly to some of us the Believer turn. Post here when you have the password and the turn will be sent by someone.

[Barinthus]

FrankyChan, I'm sorry to see you go. Hopefully perhaps in future if you're able to play PBEMs again, we could play.

Chaos Theory, welcome. I'm going to PM you the password now.

EDIT: It is done.

[Enigma_Nova]

Schroeder it is.

[GeoModder]

Chaos Theory: the mail address you provided doesn't accept mails or doesn't exist. I got a warning message when I try to sent you the turn.

[Chaos Theory]

2112 -> PKs

[Chaos Theory]

12 Mission Years after Planetfall, Brother Theory emerges from his monastic studies to take his rightful place among the Lord's Believers...

"It's been 12 Mission Years? What exactly is a 'Mission Year?'"
"Well, it's 365 days. Earth days, anyway."
"So we're still using the old calendar? We changed the calendar to honor the birth of Our Lord, and we will do it again to honor our return to Eden! Find out how long the years actually are, in Eden days!"

Proof we had in fact returned to Eden was evident in the renewed integrity of society. Crime was almost non-existent, and large families were once again the norm. Bountiful resources stretched as far as the eye could see, awaiting their harvest.

Brother Theory joins a scout patrol on its way to discover more of Eden

[Chaos Theory]

A 7 player PBEM with no acceleration? Masochism

[Enigma_Nova]

Please detail why Brother Franky is no longer leader, and why you were the second in command.

[Frankychan]

Really glad to see this thing wasn't too affected. Thanks Chaos.

Hope I didn't fudge things up too bad for you...

[Chaos Theory]

E_N: Who says I was second in command? Who says I'm in command now? Gradual transitions do happen. Also, Frankychan can explain what happened to his leadership if he wants, and if he doesn't after a while, I'll handle it.

Franky: Not really, though I would have gone for CentEco first normally

[Enigma_Nova]

Bleh, find me in-game and ask me for CentEco.
I tend to be nice to the Skillz players.

[Hercules]

Turn 2113 to Honghu.

A bit late maybe, but sorry to see you go Frankychan.

And welcome Chaos

[Enigma_Nova]

EDIT: On your request, Kody.

So be it. As a personal favor to you I shall pledge Truce with Deacon Frankychan.
Be warned that I shall not long tolerate collaboration with
my mortal enemy, the Slow-playing Lady HongHu!
Mood change from Solicitous to Quarrelsome

[Kody]

If you're going to make floccinaucinihilipilification comments about someone then at least use hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian words so that people don't think that you aren't honorificabilitudinitatibus.

[Enigma_Nova]

An e-mail in taking your advice?
Don't test our good relations, Kody.

You're asking me a big favour to edit my post.
It disgusts me that people don't want to read what I write.
It offends me that people will react before understanding.
If my ideas were heard and implemented then I would lack motive to be annoyed.
Now, I intend to go through everything in my path until I get what I'm designed to use.

I'm meant to use my brain to decide action.
I'll be damned if I let old presumptions prevent me from speaking my mind on any issue.
In ancient times, I would be a visionary to lead the tribe to greatness.
In modern times, I'm opposing a social structure built to opress dissidents.

In a world of information and opportunity,
where ingenuity and strategy are the keys to victory,
success is determined by wisdom and willpower,
so thought and awareness are ways to the future.

I am the future, and I'll be damned if I can't evolve humanity past the mistakes of its present.
It's not a matter of if it can be done, or should be done. By evolution it WILL be done.
I am at worst a messenger of evolution. At best, I am the cause of it.

I am a prototype of the future,
and the more you resist me,
the further in the future I predict.

but don't get me wrong. I'm not the final form of humanity, nor do I think there exists a best form of humanity.
Only if I were more prevalent, we'd be improving faster than now.
I'm like a catalyst to evolution.

------

25% Fanatical benefit is in the wrong faction, methinks.
On relating to the believers:
Better sort out your own overcrowded lifestyle before you take more of your time up with games - especially when the stress of your own delays is transferred to others.
It is good that Franky left. He will have time to sort out his life, and our turns will move faster. It was good to see him go.

[Kody]

I have an old email address under a S.B. from the domain @uow.edu.au

[Enigma_Nova]

So Kody, in response to your e-mail:
Edited, of course

Calling someone "bad rubbish" is going too far.

Value judgement, no supporting reasons. I am not influenced.
Your unhappiness at my expression is less than my unhappiness at silence, so I'll keep saying what I say.

In my mind... one is acceptable and the other is not.

Not used to people around you having minds of their own, eh?

I draw the line on sweeping generalisations on an entire person

I'm glad you trust me with your feelings.
Maybe you'd like to tell me why my post made you upset?
Or even better, tell me why I should avoid doing things that upset you.
Why put aside my crusade for expression?
Going to storm my faction?
I assure you, I'd rather take the pain from losing this game than the pain from becoming silent.

which you have done with seemingly no
reason but to put someone else down.

Closure and Evaluation.
It's a text of my feelings and opinions for the event.
Most of the time, when I speak my mind, it's to throw my ideas into the public arena (with no further intent).

I know you dislike the idea of making compromises.

Not if I'm happy with the outcome.
So how about:
I drop the flame, but you read my rant instead.
That's a compromise I can live with.

[Chaos Theory]

Something I forgot to ask about: what in-game contact has occurred to date? Has anyone contacted my faction in any way?

[Enigma_Nova]

Negative.
You should fix that soon - with Laser Rovers.

[Kody]

Okay
