hmmm... it doesn't seem like the hive is quite the best faction for that sort of thing, but what do I know. If you guys are serious about this early pact thing, go ahead and ask for one. I'm sure we can work out something.

What reputation, Colonel? Everyone knows I'm just a peaceful builder.

MtG i thought you were MtG the conquerer...i was obviously mistaken, i too am a peaceful builder...i look forward to friendly competition of trying to see who can transcend faster (in a co-op win of course)

Such astounding global cooperation. You'd think we were all lambs, not in competition of any kind.

global co-operation is what it's all about, actually i am looking forward to some friendly competion

[BustaMike]

Hey Korn, thanks for zipping the saves but there's really no need. I have a really fast connection. Maybe it'll save you some time. Of course, I don't mind zipped files either. Saves me about a second of download time. GL guys.

Turn sent on. MY 2105 to Col. Korn

Peace and cooperation are wonderful.

As Feliks Dzherzhinski said "Trust is good. Control is better." We will be cooperative, but careful.

Mike,
why don't you play SMACX games?
You saw I'm signed up and are afraid of me?

[MichaeltheGreat]

Fist - I don't like the faction balance if it's pure SMACX

Which game are you in? Or has it started yet?
If we can get in one together, I'll go for it.

My game isn't started yet 'cause we're waiting for zsozso to return from Caribbean... I promised to play with him and Tig Toad asked for the third spot so I think there's no room.
Maybe another game... gasp your offer is tempting but it seems I have 10.000 PBEMs about to start and I don't want to be the source of delay...
Can you wait until next week?
I can be more precise about my availability by then.
Btw, sorry I'm a bit OT here...

[MichaeltheGreat]

Sure Fist, I can wait. Wonder who we'll get to play the victim faction?

[Tau Ceti]

Everyone knows I'm just a peaceful builder.

-MichaeltheGreat

I (...) play them as an aggressive, expansionist faction.

the reason i always send a zipped file is because my isp only connects at 24k...not even 28.8k and i even have a 56.6 modem oh well

[MichaeltheGreat]

korn - When I used 56k modems (instead of cable), I noticed that problem quite a bit - certain modems, regardless of their 56k claims, never connected to my old ISP at near 56k. It also depends on the switching equipment for the telephone prefix you dial from - if you have an old prefix with analog switching equipment, that could easily drop you from a 33.6 to a 24 connection. You might be able to change your modem line number to a newer prefix. When I lived in California, I did, and that helped a lot. Here in Mexico, like in Europe, they charge for local phone calls, so cable is cheaper than 56k.
