    Turn to Everyone's favorite Monopolist

    BTW, I recently was able to install SMAC on the computer I use for the internet... is anyone willing to maybe play an hour or so of turns in IP? Is that even possible? Just thinkin'...

    "My People, this year has been very exellent for our peoples. Allow me to tell you the joys and interesting things which have occured in this year:

    1) First off, we were at first pleased to have located our first native life form. Approaching it carefully, our military unit, bravely made his precence known to the worm. The worm became agressive, despite our soldiers constantly repeating "We're allied with the only {bleep}ing faction that cares about you! Stop attacking" many times. Unfortunately, the worm realized it's misunderstatement and was about to join our side, when it tripped over a hardened patch of fungus, breaking its... neck and dying. We apologize to the Gaian community for not being as enlightened as themselves to be able to capture the worm without it's death.

    2) The far-off PeaceKeeping faction, which recently signed a friendship with Ourselves, will be recieving a quid-pro-quo tech transfer idea. We most happilly await any and all responses!

    3) Sadly, no comment from Morgan. Whatevah. His loss.

    4) The "Hivin' Stomp" dance has not only infected our bases with its noxious (yet just so wonderfully enjoyable) dance beat, but a few other bases on other factions as well. Cool, ain't it?

    5) Whoever wrote "Sparky likes taking Lady joar in da ass" in fecal matter better come back and clean it up before JoeR finds out about it! Cuz I mean, we're pretty good friends and I don't want that crap (literally and figuratively) on Our Bases!

            Lots of stuff. Great stuff!
            And more PokeWorms. Will they hurt us?

                    Turn to Hive.

                    Ack, it looks like I'm in a totally screwed strategic position. With all those factions surrounding me, I gotta up my defense big time, which means I will seriously lag in other aspects.
                    And there's no way I can just expand the way I want to (and the way some other folks here can), so my efficiency bonus is moot. Oh well, let's see what we can make of this.

                    BTW, I used the map information that's given at the end when you reload a saved game and just end it. I assume that's not illegal or unethical, and I know Spark's been doing it, so I thought it was fair to notify the other players of it (in case they haven't done it so far).

                    On another note, we're already on our second page...I think as the first post-ACT20-game. Keep on rocking (or maybe it's just our major spam!)

                      I did it once, when I kept having ave game problems.

                      I dunno if it was legal, I honestly don't think its a cheat.

                        What kind of map info? Do you mean the replay, which shows the location of the factions and their territory at different points in the game?

                          Yep, that's the one I mean.
                          So TC, is that allowed, or is it considered twinkish?
                          I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, and I haven't seen any discussion about it so far. I certainly don't want to overstep any rules or get into unethical stuff, but I do play with 'whatever is not illegal (and has been declared as illegal beforehand) is allowed.

                            I had actually never thought about this feature before I read it here. Personally I think it is questionable. Getting to see how the continents look is no big deal, as you can usually see that from the map grid anyway, but seeing where the other factions start can be a large advantage early on. In addition, this is not really "in-game" information, it is more like "after-game" information, and it makes the comm beacon in the Unity Wreckage rather worthless. My opinion is that it should be disallowed, but I am willing to listen to arguments to the contrary. At any rate, since it has already been used in this game, it will be allowed here.

                              (This ain't a turn send)

                              I didn't plan on fidning this out... I was having save game problems which was crashing the game after a move was made... and then, I decided to quit the game, maybe that would conk out the bugs and I found the replay feature... plus, the "unity survey" option was NOT on in this game, so I had no way of knowing I was on an island or a strip of land...

                              The "unity wreakage" you speak of, TC, is a SMACX feature, yes?. Smac can't do that. With the options provided, I had no way to see the map otherwise.

                              I believe it was wrong of me to do this, because it would require you to quit and restart the level. I did it to attempt to save this game, which kept crashing. I didn't even remember about the replay option. I think it should be wrong. (If there is a way to view the replay without having to quit, it should be allowed, though)

                              Sorry to have caused so much grief
