Turns of AXT042 game in Apolyton PBEM Tournament

[Tenchusatsu]

Year 2124 to Walt.

"Another scout patrol encountered a boil of mindworms just off the northern settlements. We tried to make telepathic contact with the worms, just as Lindley had accomplished a few years back. Unfortunately several members of the patrol succumbed to the nightmarish psychic attack of the worms, and the rest were forced to activate their flamethrowers and exterminate the boil.

"The dead husks that once belonged to the mindworms we just killed contained deposits of rare elements that have now become known as Planetpearls. These Planetpearls can be directly converted into energy for our stores. Because our energy reserves are dangerously low, we went ahead and plundered the worm husks for the Planetpearls they offered. Yet I feel very guilty doing this, because we are profiting from the death of a lifeform that only sought to defend itself.

"At least we too only sought to defend ourselves. Or do we even have that right in the first place, considering we are the intruders and the mindworms are the natives?"

"Foreman, Foreman !!! Great news !! Our production manager has announced that a secret project known as the Weather Paradigm will be completed in 2126. Come quick and see the unveiling"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And so it was that the news passed throughout the world that the first of the secret projects was to be completed by the Drones in 2126

Accoding to an earlier message, tench won't be around until sunday so I, despite receiving the turn right now, am gonna take it slower than I use to. I do get like FOUR days to do my turn so.

[Walt]

Congrats again to cbn on the Weather Paradigm!

I, too, will be gone until Sunday evening, so I'll share tenchusatsu's responsiblity for the delay. Into every game a little real life must fall... :-)

Enjoy the time off guys. Since all of you have expressed interest in a tcp/ip game, is there any interest in speeding this game along by that means (assuming we can perform the requisite organizational miracle)?

Is that even permitted under the rules of the tourney?

turn 2127 to tench


just so we're all on the same page here, I wasn't blaming anyone just a simple comment to why I took it a little bit slower with this turn than I normally would.

I also would like to congrat The Drones, but not for their first SP, instead for leaving the last position on the faction chart.

I raise my hands for a tcp/ip game if we're allowed to do it. Although we're closing to stages were a turn can take some time to finish (well not for me, but perhaps for you guys - not that I am better player, just that I don't have that much room to move around .... ), I think we could race through 15-20 turns in a few hours.

Foreman thanks the other world leaders for their congratulations but must credit the dedicated workers in our factories

I am all for something that allows us to get through these early turns. I am still playing each turn on this game in a couple of minutes . Having little technology kind of limits your options (Will I build a former or a scout??LOL).

I'm assuming that I will have to get an ICQ account ( not a problem to do) and that we would have to find a mutually agreeable time to "meet". Then do we just play our turn and pass it or is it a more interactive setting? is it periods of playing interspersed with periods of waiting about??

I know that timezones (stretching across 8 or 9 hours) and work schedules will eliminate a good chunk of the week. If we decide to do this and start picking times, I suggest that we all use a single timezone ( ie Apolyton server time) when referencing times. Perhaps if we all want to do this we should just each email each other with our unavailable times and see if there is ANY time when we could possibly get together.
