Q: What attitude? I'm the one who has been trying to intervene with the Data Angels on your behalf! I've been offering you my tech all along, but you kept telling me you could research it yourself.

Sister illiria has beaten the Hive again to our desired goal. Damn!

I'm beginning to wonder if there is a tactical disadvantage to being last in the play order. Maybe, maybe not. But to get burned twice. Oh well. C'est la vie?

Question to anyone: If two human players, in a pbem game, manage to both successfully amass enough minerals to complete the same Secret Project in one turn, at the same time, is that project awarded to the player who happens to get his/her next turn first? I think it does, but I'm not sure?

Nicely done illiria!

So we did get the SP after all, it is nice having money..this keeps the surprise factor to a maximum. I would gess the SP goes to whoever is going first, so you may have bad luck. (This will, of course, change in a future game called SteamWeasel, which may appear on your X-Mac in about a year as an early beta..

-> Illiria

! I'm stuck. My economy can't get off the ground, my labs are pathetic, and the Data Angels see fit to threaten me every turn. I can't win a decisive battle against the University, so I'm just bleeding troops there...

Harumph.

**incoming transmission from Hive Command**

Prime Function Qualicide, we are well aware you have developed Nerve Gas weapons. Be advised you are not the only faction capable of manufacturing these weapons of mass destruction. The Planetary Council has been informed of your faction’s nefarious weapons program.

**Hive Command out**

Edit: spelling (oops!)

***
As the governor of Planet I advise you to be careful about using nerve gas. Not only is it an atrocity and against everything that we consider moral and ethics, but it also adds up to global warming and eco catastrophies. In the same way do I ask the Hive to stop polluting the atmosphere and either build tree farms and centauri preserves or ceise to use crawlers and factories!
So we can all live together in peace and harmony!

The Hive Collective happily announces compliance with Govenor illiria’s directive, with the completion of the first Tree Farm facility on Planet. This facility, located at Drone Mound, will greatly reduce pollution and eco damage in the region. Two more such facilities are under way, with plans to expand the production to all Hive production centres throughout the Collective in the future.

All hail the wisdom of Sister illiria!!

Well label me immoral.

[Killjoy]

Hey kids, I will be away for two weeks, from April 23 to May 7 (finally a real holiday)! I won't have internet access for the first week, and only limited access for the second (May 1-7). Unfortunately that'll slow this game down even more than it already is. I'll try and keep the ball rolling during the second week I'm off.

Cheers!
