Turns of AXT031 game in Apolyton PBEM Tournament

[WhiteElephants]

Just to make sure we are all on the same page this is what the tournament rules state about communication before contact:

Tournament map: Communications between factions is allowed from the start. No restrictions.

Other maps: Communications only allowed between factions that have obtained each others' commlink frequencies in-game.

I believe we are on the "other maps" as the tournament map consists of three to four distinct islands and we would have begun with several more units such as three or more colony pods. I have bumped the old rules thread so feel free to consult the thread and correct me if I'm wrong.

Turn to Black Sunrise shortly.

[Tau Ceti]

WhiteElephants is correct.

[Black Sunrise]

Agreed about the no contact rule. Combat with native life forms successful. Expansion continues.

[Black Sunrise]

Fourth day, no move. Will re-send move to buster. If no reply/move/post by tommorrow will forward to Tau per PBEM rules for no move w/o prior arraingment.

Just to avoid confusion - Buster sent 2105 to me, and I sent 2106 to WE (the gaians) on Nov 11th evening. Did it move from there?

[Black Sunrise]

Well, it never got to me, so my guess is stopped at the Gaians.
Sigh.

Waiting on 4 PBEM games....

2106 to Pk.

Sorry if delay was caused by me, but i did not get the mail until now. Diplomacy approach from Googlie refused as per rules discussed above. (until met)

On to WE

With great joy, scout patrol 002 announced discovery of a mysterious monolith. It appears that, should we hook a turbine to it, we can power our generators with this strange object. Surely this will aid in our continued growth!
In other news, scientists are lauded by the government for their first technological discovery. Unfortunately, we were beaten to it by the Gaians. Let us strive to avoid that occurring again!
Standard broadcast sent out. Hopefully we can soon locate our neighbors!

Turn to Black Sunrise.

Sir! Broadcast from another scout patrol! NOT scout patrol 001! Sir they're claiming to -be- scout patrol 001!
Check passwords.
Sir, both units have full passwords. Both respond normally.
Designate new patrol as scout patrol 003. Send them on reconassance. We lack the time to investigate further.
Broadcast standard information packet.
