Coming out of retirement

Archaic · July 26, 2008, 10:35

No idea where it is. I haven't seen it in quite a while now. Of course, I've ended up being very busy recently (hurt my back, then caught actual Influenza, so I was bedridden for pretty much a whole 2 weeks), so it doesn't matter too much in my case. ^^;;

Hercules · July 26, 2008, 10:55

I'll email Flubber.

Hercules · July 31, 2008, 15:49

Which I did and Bdanv as well.

Archaic · August 6, 2008, 03:48

Still nothing from either? =/

bdanv · August 6, 2008, 03:55

sorry guys. i was out of town for a training and then my wife joined me for holidays.
i tried to keep alive at least the games with fast turns during this time.

i will play all my turns today.

Hercules · August 6, 2008, 04:53

Ah good

bdanv · August 6, 2008, 15:09

2170 to Archaic as promised

it looks like Flubber will be appointed Planetary Governor. Congrats!

Hercules · August 18, 2008, 12:43

Any news Archaic?

Archaic · September 2, 2008, 09:03

Apologies. The turn got to me while I was overseas, and true to form, I'd forgotten my passwords for my email account & 'poly. *smacks his head into the wall* Just got home last night, and played it today. Turn on to you Herc.

This might be the first game where I've been forced to go into extended periods of Planned. It's interesting, how in most human games, people stay in Pact up until the last possible moment. Going out of Pact is not something you tend to see, and the economy hit is quite visible. Much more than I expected actually. Wouldn't hurt quite so much if it didn't come right when I was building such an expensive improvement as Hybrids.

Hercules · September 2, 2008, 17:07

Turn 2170 to Flubber who indeed has been elected Planetary Governor. Congratulations.

Archaic · September 4, 2008, 08:37

Speaking of that planetary governorship....I only did a basic check, since I played that turn at midnight, but Flubber, how do you have that many votes? I'm sure I have a higher population than you do, even without the Empath Guild boosting my votes. You would've still won easily with you all voting as a block, but the number still seems a bit off. I was sure there would've been a wider gap between our vote totals.

I have to say though, it's certainly refreshing to have a game where people actually outright deny me governorship. Usually, I've gotten the governorship very early in the game, and just counted on everyone to forget about it through the rest of the match.

Hercules · September 4, 2008, 10:00

That's not something Flubber usually forgets about.

Archaic · September 21, 2008, 02:26

We're stuck again, I take it?

Hercules · September 21, 2008, 11:25

I sent it to Flubber. Whether he played it or not and sent it on I don't know.

I suspect it is with Bdanv, who may be on holiday.

bdanv · September 22, 2008, 03:21

i'm back. 2171 sent.

Flubber · September 30, 2008, 14:25

Archaic-- It was an obvious move against someone as dominant as you . Inheriting a game that was pretty much over before I started, we have to think about these things-- Going out of pact to deny you trade was at least SOMETHING to slow your technological march-- I still don't hold out a lot of hope for us but I figured if I am going to play this out, I will try to do whatever I can

I am the PKs-- that doubles my votes compared to population-- I'm glad THAT feature works as I am absolutely NOT getting my extra talents- It is a significant matter sicne I have to do more drone control than I should

Forget it ?? Never. The only thing that held me off from calling it earlier was it took time for us to find bdnav.

Good show!! I hadn't checked in here for a while but the last turn I had seen was on like the 2nd of September and forwarded to bd on the 3rd.

Hopefully I will see another soon

Hercules · October 6, 2008, 12:44

Any news?

Hercules · October 27, 2008, 19:17

Maybe it needs resent again to Archaic.

Hercules · November 3, 2008, 16:38

Well we can only wait I suppose.

Hercules · November 3, 2008, 16:41

I don't mean that to be overly critical, just a statement of fact.

turn resent on November, 2.

bdanv · November 15, 2008, 07:03

i'm out of town till Tuesday night

Hercules · December 14, 2008, 20:05

Any news here.

bdanv · December 16, 2008, 04:47

well, i can re-resend if you think that helps

Hercules · December 16, 2008, 13:35

Yes Please do. One more time.

bdanv · December 16, 2008, 13:40

re-resent as per Hercules' request

Hercules · January 1, 2009, 17:50

Ok Looks like this game is dead.

Where do we go from here, if at all.

There was a suggestion of new Vets map game?

seems dead to me-- I almost never come here any more so if ever you want to talk to me about smax, please just email me-- I check that every day while I hadn't been on here in months

I would be up for a new game--
