2162 to Hobbes.

I saw a pod but have decided to restrain myself. Not easy though it was.

Turned to Googlie.

Oh, and I should explain the reload message. Had 2 tries to play the turn and save the game, but both times windows froze, and had to exit and reboot (had the game open, the thread in Poly, AOL and enzip ready to zip the turn when saved.

Only thing different from 500 previous successful identical combos is the extra window Poly has with the e-bay ad.

Turn played and saved perfectly without poly.

I'm getting less and less inclined even to open Poly to post gameturns:

1) took 4 minutes to load this edit
2) last saturday i timed my smac/x, and of eight hours engaged (33 game turns), a full 2 hours 13 minutes was in waiting for apolyton screens to load to post my turn notices
3) the above freeze which i attribute directly to Poly's box window add being the straw that broke my poor laptop's back.

Anyway, all 3 turns were the same - no pods popped or battles fought.

I would estimate I spend more time waiting for Apolyton than I do doing my turns. In the beginning I continuosly posted several times because I thought there was some error.

Turned to the patient Googlie!

Yeah those pop-ups suck.
