    Turn turned to WhiteElephants!

    No its not me Buster, its someone else. Anyone else. But not me. Go away. [Having the Hive as a neighbour is bad enough.]

      2126 to Gaia.

      Life is tough when one has to do ones own research and the scientists already "know" planet is flat because the revised bible says so.

            So I am out!

            This is cruel, even more so that I did not have the chance to obliterate my last base myself before the Believers could destroy it...

            Yes Tau, I would really like to start a game on this tournament map w University...(especially if Buster is also in the game, with any faction).

            Thanks, and good luck to the survivors of ACT040 !

                If Tau reads this I am in for another game as long as I do not again get believers. Sorry but the only the way I know how to play them is with a twitchy trigger- finger and if I end up having to kill off Jacques again he will probably never forgive me.

                Why do I have the feeling that anyway I may end up spending more time battling off Jacques than building up my own faction? Probably its just my imagination running too wild.

                      Don't you mean Buster, that there is no-one around anymore......

                        I realize that you two had some miscommunication, but the fact of the matter is that if you (Buster) didn't take out Jacques ASAP he would eventually knock you out or make you his submissive. I also realize it is kind of humiliating to be taken out early, but he (Jacques) should know that the Believers need to capitalize on an opportunity such as this in order to be successfull in the future. I hope he doesn't hold a grudge because of this.

                          2130 to Gaia.

                          Hobbes and I are in other games, this one is the second one where after not long conflict broke out.

                          I think Jacques main frustration was that he apparently made me an offer, only it did not arrive to me as he had overfilled the thee comm link and what i could read (the end of it) sounded less friendly.

                          I would also point out, that I did not just attck but gave him a chance to offer me something first. As believer ones choices for getting ahead are pretty limited and thus - thinking he was taking a "no way" stance - anything else but using my chance of a quick attack before he had time to prepare - would have made my chances very slim.

                          That I am now in a situation where I will have to compete builder style is course the inevitable consequence.

                          Other than that I think Hobbes and mine mutual teasing should not be take too seriously. Besides this I am aware that he probably is becoming a more experienced general. Isn't that right Hobbes?

                            2200! Wow, the game might be over by then. I think the immortal Kenny Rodgers said it best when he said, "You have to know when to hold em', know when to fold em', know when to walk away when the dealins' done."

                              Turn turned. Great rejoicing at Hobbit bases upon surving another day. With the Hive next door, MW's galore, & the ravening hordes of Buster growing with every turn, survival is not a given.

                                Please don't sweat this and keep-on enjoying this game...

                                You are both right... I knew about Believer's need to be agressive, and I had made an offer to Buster, which apparently did not reach him.

                                The offer was that I give him my techs as requested, but in exchange for a Pact not to be broken until 2200 (I think)... I further explained that, otherwise he would find nothing but hopeless adversity, no cities for him to keep (too small pop) and relatively few stolen techs.

                                I still believe that, as a result, Buster might well end-up way behind in tech next time he runs into another neighbor and that he will then probably be hurting...

                                But all in all, it was mainly bad luck for me being his neighbor.

                                I will continue watching this tread to see if my prophecy will materialise and hope to meet you guys again under better circumstances (can't be that much out of luck 2 times in a row... I hope !)

                                Cheers !
