turns of ACT004 game of Apolyton SMAC tournament

[TigToad]

The turn is to the PK..

the original question wasn't why you attacked me, I expected that part.. it was why you had it in for me specifically...I'm such a happy-go-lucky capitalist pig.

I've sent turn 55 to the Hive, though I'm not sure if this board is alive.

[Blunderdog]

Holy cow, I missed all that discussion until just now.

I must agree that a three-person game is just asking for trouble. Someone is going to get ye olde shaft no matter what. In our little game, given the distribution of the factions, I'd say that the events so far have been 95 percent predictable. The Hive wouldn't win a race to transcendance, so they must attack. Morgan doesn't want to fight, so he's got to make nice with somebody. Hive's out, so that leaves, um, the Peacekeepers.

I truly hope that both of you are still enjoying the game. If it's not fun, let's stop.

[TigToad]

Ah, its still fun. I need to know how its going to end. Tig

[Garth Vader]

Turn to Morgan.

Yeah it's still fun. Since you are back looking at this Bd I'd like to ask you a question. Before Morgan built the Empath Guild did you tell him about my sudden increase in military building right after I got impact weapons? It shouldn't affect your current security situation, and I am curious.

Tig, if you watch B5 you will know how it will end. In Fire

[TigToad]

Turn is onto the Hive. Hey, congrats you got a free Impact rover to kill.. I mis-moved one of my units. Ah well, such are the spoils of war. Nice force you have moving through, btw.. I especially like the two formers.

As for warning, not really. He'd told me you were building military, but you're the Hive.. i was expecting that. Honestly, we went a lot longer without war than I thought we would.

Wealth is starting to hurt me.. my moral is sucking. Yours isn't. But I can't give up that +1 energy per square.. I just can't...

Tig

BTW_ I'm a _Huge_ B5 fan..have the whole series on tape, all the movies and the Crusades. Awesome.

Oh I was looking at the board, just in the wrong place. See, I bookmarked the bottom of page 4 and didn't notice we went to 5. I feel like a character in Spinal Tap.

Don't recall the extent of the information passed on about your impact speeder buildup, but Morgan was apprised of the situation. Wouldn't do the U.N. any good if Morgan got caught with his pants down, so to speak.

On to other news ... U.N. is looking for a new naval commander. Commodore Gilligan just isn't cutting it, and has been dismissed (Skipppperrrr!). Anyone who can differentiate warships from intelligence teams strongly considered.

Turn sent to Hive.

[Garth Vader]

Turn to Morgan.

I was wondering where those mind worms of yours were, now I know. They are dead.

I considered an earlier war, but I wanted impact weapons and the command nexus first.

[TigToad]

Turn is back to the PK... Tig

[Blunderdog]

Turn sent to the Hive.

[Garth Vader]

Turn to Morgan.

[TigToad]

Today from Morgan/TigToad HQ came word that the Hive has been driven out of all southern cities that once belonged to our beloved empire. It is believed that gains will soon be made in the island-continental land war now that our war is back to only one front. CEO TigToad was quoted as saying "This was just the first step in the long process of teaching the misguided Yang a thing or two about damaging good business. The CEO had no comment however when reporters pressed him for information on the rumors that the Hive were developing planets first aircraft.

Turn passed to Hive.

[Garth Vader]

Turn to Morgan.

We were actually quite surprised our southern outpost lasted as long as it did, since we don't have any control of the sea.

[TigToad]

Actually I left it around long enough for the PK and I to get a tech out of it with probes first.. but it was tough taking it until I got missle units.
