The Laptop Game turn tracking thread

I also prefer the game conditions Rubin sites as strong preferences, especially, large map, no teams, no cooperative victory, 50-70% Ocean, and most definitely average native life.

So, let's get started.

I guess if we completely eliminate the 4 human factions from last game then we'd be hard pressed to find 4 suitable factions to play now. (I assume we are not allowed to play an alien faction) So, if we just make it that we can't play our last faction then I'd like to try the Free Drones this time out.

2210 to Rubin.

If we don't do teams, I prefer no co-op victory also.

I'm ok with those map settings. Undecided on factions. I'll get back to you on that.

Attention former D:AP Federation members

It seems that we three have grown and prospered her on Chiron. CEO Rubin is in control of the 3 most important secret projects on the planet. Lord Chip controls several military and PSI enhancing secret projects and well as the largest standing army on the planet. I on the other hand have the most highly evolved infrastructure on the planet.

For many years now The Rubinites & The Gaians have been acting in concert. Presently we three are all approximately even and neither one of the three of us could stand alone against the other two. I therefore challenge both The Rubinites and The Gaians to a set aside their partnership.

Are you not curious to see which faction among us has the better fundamental philosophy? Curious to see which faction is indeed the fittest and has the right to survive? Curious to see which faction is 1st to achieve the honor of transcendence? Come now, I ask you both, do not shrink from this manly challenge.

Cool. Go for it!
I need a resend. I received an old map file.

[Chip_Buckner]

Net Warrior: Nice try.
Yoda: Done.

My ISP is refusing to send email, so I'm responding to email here. I presume it will be functioning this afternoon.

Rubin: Yes, Yoda and I have discussed the end game. It will, for technical reasons, not happen until 2114.

Yoda: On behalf of all three of us, thank you. (I'm sure Net Warrior is wondering why I am thanking you on his behalf, but he'll just have to wonder.)

Rubin: I understand the problem.

Rubin: May I attempt a diplomatic solution before you proceed in that way?

Public InterComm Message, M.Y. 2211

From: CEO Rubin of the Rubinites
To: Lord Chip of Gaia's Gentlemen

The intended initiatives have been temporarily paused until a proper response can be procured. Meanwhile, proceed as you see fit.

(Er, Chip you made me wonder why you are thanking Yoda on our behalf if Net Warrior has any reasons to wonder why you did so!?!!)

[Chip_Buckner]

Email's back.
