SMAX 1.2.1 pbem: "Hive Forever"
I created the game: random map, min water, max hills, max worms, second to highest difficulty level. AI: Gaia, Morgan, Zhakarov, Consciusness. Humans: Ash, Rue, Illiria (all Hive).
Turn 2101 -> Rue
2101 --> Ashman
The Rue Hive finds itself in a deep valley with a swift running river. A pink fungus grows over much of the terrain. Because the valley runs north and south, direct sun light is limited just as we like it.
"No first person personal pronouns allowed." The imperative stamped above the hand towel racks in all Rue Hive washrooms.

Aaaahh. We love the smell of fungus in the morning. As far as we can tell, there is not much more than the color pink as far as the eye can see.
2104--> Ashman
Above the valley walls we found an outcrop of rock devoid of fungus!
2107 --> Ashman
7 turns in 7 days. Not a bad average.
We have located the Manifold Nexus. Long live the Manifolds!
2111 -> Rue. Nice, 2 turns today?!
2112 -> rue
2112 --> Ashma
2120 --> Ashman
Rue Hive has tech and phone numbers available for anyone with decent trade goods.
Turn 2129 --> Illiria
Now: Whats this "Your bases are belong to us" all about?
2133 --> Ashman
Argh. I still dont get it. Did the animation start it or the techno song? I mean: the whole stuff is EVERYWHERE! They're EVERYWHERE!
For example, see the review for Water Race at MacGamer's Ledge.
2134 -- Ashman
I cant find the review at mgl...do you have a link?
2136 --> Ashman
Regarding the review of Water Race on Mgl, I can't find it either. It was up last week. However, it is not in their archive files. Anyway in the Pro/Con summary that follows the review the following Con was listed; "Your bases are belong to us."
silly me, but I still dont get it
2138 --> Ashman
Not only do I not get it, I don't understand it either.
2140 -> Rue
2140 --> Ashman
2141 -> Rue

Turn 2142 --> Illiria
The "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" comes from a poorly translated Sega console game called Zero Wing from way back in the late eighties. The MAME craze of the last few years resurrected this old title from the dead and someone thought it was funny. Through the magic of the internet it has now become somewhat of a cultural icon.
2142--> Ashman
Thanks for the info. There's a certain, although ineffable, satisfaction in possessing such knowledge.
2143 -> Rue
2145 -> Rue
*Someone set us up the worm*
2147 -->Ashman
Worm sign to the north, to the east, and to the south but no spice, just fungi.
How many colony pods must we lose to the stinking worms before we learn our lesson? For great justice!
