2166 to Buster....the PKs would like to announce the calling of the Planetary Council next turn for the Global Trade Pact. If it passes, this will ensure a brighter future for all citizens.

2166 to Hobbes.

I have no problem with trade pact. No bribing required.

[mark13]

Thanks Buster - I assume all humans are in favour of this? It will be called next turn....

2167 to Buster...

On to Googlie.

2167 to mark13

2168 to Hobbes.

Sorry about the reload, but a bribe offer I could not refuse arrived by mail just after I did my turn. I did not change anything except my vote.

Next time it is probably advisable to send out notices and bribe offers early - 5 minutes later and my turn would have been sent.

The Planetary Council has been convened to vote for a Planetary Governor. The votes stand as follows:

The candidates:

Commissioner Mark (90 votes)
Colonel Santiago (39 votes)

Other voters:

Chairman Kim (34 votes)
Lady Deirdre (21 votes)
Ultra Cool Hobbes (11 votes)
CEO Googlie (13 votes)

Let it be said that Commmissioner Mark promises a brighter future for all Chironians, regardless of their political agenda. Excpet perhaps the Gaians. They're a funny lot you know....

2168 to Buster....

[H0bbes]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. One could say that a bribe offer that arrives after a turn is completed is too late, regardless of how good it is.........

Turned to Googlie.

Hobbes.

'69 to Buster, who must have opened the turn *straight* after I sent it, because there was only a couple of minutes gap....

CEO Googlie

[buster]

2169 to Hobbes.

And we of the Peoples republic of the Hive are ruled only by the inevitable forces of historic necessity. We will of course accept that comrade Mark amongst equals for the remaining period is extraordinarly equal.

Ps: Should anyone think here is a reference to a book "Animal farm" by Orwell, they are entirely mistaken. That book never existed and even if it did it would have been banned and burned long ago along with its author.

Turned to Googlie.
