Professor Rue agrees with the wise ruler of the Believers. The handwriting is clearly set on the whiteboard. We, hereby pledge allegiance to the Believers and recognize their right to lead the human effort on Planet. We at University will take satisfaction in providing a top notch education for all who seek one.

[Rue]

I am looking forward to another game. This has been fun.

[illiria]

Now what do we have here.... for the last decades the universities enemies have not really achieved anything that could be called even a minor victory, but we, the glorious comrades of the Hive, have succeeded; just as it was expected by our lowest truthsayers. Dare not ask the chief astrologer of the empire what is coming next...you may not like it.
Also the Hive announces the acquisitionof the Gaian settlements to its empire. Deirdre does do fine as an involuntary actress in certain movies..erm
Join our everlasting empire now before it may be too late!

2240----> Ashman

We resist the temptation to parce your run-on sentence in order to determine intent, and instead hazard the contrary opinion that University has had at least one minor victory.

[illiria]

What victory is the University talking about?

[Rue]

The victory of which I speak is the great and glorious victory of University over Santiago. We even built a monument outside the commons to commemorate the achievement, however, small when compared to the Believers' military accomplishments.

[Rue]

The last turn I played is 2141.

[illiria]

Where is the game stuck? I just resent the files this morning, so I hope we can get going again soon!

[illiria]

The Believers have military accomplishments? As targets for my troops, you mean?

[Rue]

2242 ---> Ashman

Ah, maybe that's what I mean. I can't, however, say that I know what I mean anymore. But I am certain that University has accomplished something minor during the past 142 years.
