My 2102 sent to Hobbes.

Hi everybody!

First off, I goofed. I mis-read the rules and thought it was okay to communicate with y'alls from the get-go. That's only for games on the tournament map, I realize now. So each of you will be getting a little in-game message from me, please just ignore it.

Second, I have a question. I popped a pod which told me it gave me the University comm. Obviously, I already had the University comm. Now, it looks like the game must've realized this, and decided to give me Santiago's comm instead, because I now have her comm, and we've never met. So here's my question: am I allowed to talk to Hobbes_One, because the game technically said I could, or should I only talk to Santiago?

Last, I propose we come up with a name for the game, whaddaya think? Some of my friends always name their e-mail games after vegetables, such as "the potato" or "the squash". I say we call our game "Arugula".

Turn turned to Morgan.

Turn 2102 to Bother Mark

Do we have a CMN to make the rules decisions?

I emailed my question to Tau Ceti privately, and got this response:

Hmmm, strange situation. But if the game said that you have the University's
frequency, then I guess you should, so go ahead and talk to both of them.


Tau Ceti, CMN

So, Hobbes, feel free to actually regard my in-game message, and dis-regard the message to dis-regard the message. Uh, yeah.

2103 to the Commish.

I hit the save button with my password, so a tampering message was sent.

[mark13]

Turn sent......

You will get a tampering message - I got a bit muddled with the files

Didn't work out for me - popped a pod, first time nutrient resources, second time mind worms

I guess it's my own fault.....

[mark13]

Er, whoops, no, you won't get a tampering message, that was the other game.....

[Helium Pond]

Arugula 2103 sent to Hobbes_Uno.

[mark13]

2104 to HP

[Hobbes_One]

Turn turned. Request: if we're going to call this game Arugula can we rename this thread or start a new one please? It's confusing when you're playing multiple games otherwise. Is Arugula ACT037 or ACT038...?? Well it confuses me anyway. LOL

Turn 2104 to Com Mark

[Helium Pond]

2104 on to the tiger.

[Helium Pond]

Oh well. I just wanted to have a little fun with the naming convention, but I see how that could get confusing. As far as I know, there's no way to change the title of a thread. So, I guess I better stick with the plain ol' ACT037 name, yawn. Ah well, c'est la vie.

By the way, is there really a town named Wainscotting in England? Or are you having us on, eh? I thought it was just an interior decorating feature...
