Turns of ACT037 game in Apolyton PBEM Tournament

[Helium Pond]

Thanks, mark. Turn sent to Hobbes_One. You'll get an extra save/load warning about me, folks, but I swear on my Grandma's kittens I wasn't up to nothin'.

Hey, I just realized that the save opens up without the usual info screen, you know, where it shows you your faction leader portrait and tells you what MY and difficulty level you're on? You know, the little cameo that happens when you're still on the main Alpha Centauri screen, before you enter your password? Howcome's that, huh, howcome?

[Helium Pond]

Turned over to Hobbes.

Things are boring over your neck of the woods, you say? Well over here we're having a big big party. Wa hoo.

[Hobbes_One]

Turn turned to Nigel. A party? And I wasn't invited? Hey, that's not fair. C'mon, I wanna come, please, pretty please?

Yaaaaaaay! Another day, another tech. Another day, another artifact too!

On to Mark

[mark13]

Woohoo! Another day, another....er, turn! Well, that's enough cause for celebration to me!

2118 to Helium Pond...

[Helium Pond]

Hobbes passed to game. Uh, wait. You know what I mean.

Party's over. Everyone got really depressed when they heard about your new tech.

[Hobbes_One]

Turn turned. Another day.... another base! [well at least its not another tech!] You're all invited to my base warming party. Bring your surfboards, Delta is beachfront property.

I'll be there a sample of the new Morgano-fruit.

The colonists assemble, eagerly awaiting their forthcoming adventure. A couple are twitching nervously, some seemingly unphased by the perils that lay ahead.....

"We are sending you to a nice arable patch of land, just south of the Borehole Cluster."

The announcement over the tannoy came as a shock, the people seemingly relieved that it will not be a fungal nightmare, as U.N. Enformcement Base had been just a year ago. They shuffled into position, eager to get into the Colony Pod.

"All clear!"
