Turns of AXT028 game in Apolyton PBEM Tournament

[Zaphod]

At some point during this turn the Spartans were dropped from the docket. I imagine it's because the Consciousness passed us in population. So, it's down to cbn and Cedronian as the candidates.

Because we are situated between both of these factions, and because we would like to remain friendly with BOTH of them, we abstained.

Good luck to you both!

NEWS FLASH! Cedronian Elected Planetary Governor!

NEWS FLASH! Cedronian Elected Planetary Governor!

In planets first planetwide election Cedronian was elected Governor. May he govern wisely and well, for all of our sakes.

The final vote was:
Zaphod (Spartan) 9
cbn (Hive) 18
Cedronian (Cyborg) 31

Interestingly, when I received the turn Zaphod was back on the slate again. Unfortunately (looks like a possible bug) since Zaphod was not able to vote for himself I found that there were only 2 viable candidates. Due to a distrust of the extreme militarism of the Hive, I cast my vote for the Cyborg. Long live the Governor!

2155 passed to the Hive...

Congrats

A prepared statement of the emporer was circulated through the airwaves.


Emporere cbn wishes to extend best wishes and congratulations to cedronian on his position as governor as Planet. May we all prosper under the reign of Cedronian.

The emporer is troubled that any faction could "distrust the extreme militarism" of the Hive. Emporer cbn has engaged in no offensive military actions at all and has attempted only to live in peace and harmony. It is feared that these feelings arise from experiences with other emporers on other worlds that bear no relation to the Hive's plans and preferences on this Planet.

[Cedronian]

Turn sent to Zaphod.

The Prime Function would like to thank everybody that supported us in the election, and also thank all the faction leaders for their support and kind well-wishes when the outcome was revealed. It´s an honor to govern Planet and we will do our best to promote peace and trade between all the factions. War and aggression has no place in our agenda and we hope that the other faction leaders agree.

Ced.

Emperor cbn, perhaps you are correct in your assessment that some may have been influenced by other emperors unrelated to yourself. My apologies. I myself am a man of peace, and I welcome friendship with anyone who shares these values.

2156 to cbn...

An internal Hive transmission has been intercepted and broadcast across Planet.

"I speak to my fellow citizens on the 10th anniversary of ascending to the leadership of the Hive. It has been a period of transition as we moved from the leadership of the beloved stuntman19. It is my belief that a vision of the Hive will lead to prosperity for all."

" The most fundamental policy change was to shift research to an important technology known as Centauri ecology. With this wonderous discovery we have rush-built many "formers". These machines are carrying out neighborhood inprovements to assist in the quality of life and add to our general security. I see the addition of formers to our society as the biggest single accomplishment of the Hive in the past 10 years."

"Although committed to peace we must remain prepared for the hostile acts of others. Diplomatic contact has resulted in peaceful relations with other factions for the most part. We will continue to seek peace with those reluctant factions that continue to ignore overtures of peace. In the meantime, expansion will continue beyond the bands of fungus that surround our lands"

"There are many hard years ahead but with supreme effort each and every part of the Hive will share in the benefits of our success"

2159 to cbn...

BTW, I enjoy your Hive transmissions. They're cool! If the listening posts are constantly manned perhaps we will be able to receive transmissions from other factions as well.

Problem with the file -- I have asked for a resend.


John-SJ , thanks-- I enjoy doing a little color and its good to hear that someone (anybody)reads the stuff. And if I give a little something away that aids my opponents-- so what. I don't really expect to win this one anyway. I found it very difficult taking over in the 2140s without even the tech to build a former. Very different than my style (formers are a priority for me). So I said heck with it and I will have a little fun.

I do find it difficult to get in the Hive mindset though-- I mean police state as my political choice !!! I'll keep posting though since I find it adds a bit of flavor to the game experience. The question is when will there be some broadcasts out of the pirates??
