DT8: TigToad vs Misotu

[Misotu]

No ... you don't want to get over-confident. I mean, you haven't quite got twice my pop, after all

This strategy looked really good in my head. Pity about reality ...

Curses! And more curses!

All I can hope is that while your scientists are breeding like rabbits, they also have the brains of rabbits ...

2163 to the Virile One

[mark13]

Ach - I know the feeling. For once it isn't happening to me now - though overconfidence is certainly not an issue where I'm concerned

2163 to the enlightened lot across the pond.

[Misotu]

Good grief. An entire turn without sight of a miserable worm thingy. In the meantime, our scientists are working on a particularly virulent strain of myxamatosis.

2164 to the Bunnies.

[mark13]

still sulking

2164 to the builders of the S************

[Misotu]

The Project Which May Not be Named builds in Misotuland

First stage of The Plan is now complete. All I have to do now is work out what the second stage was ... Short of broadcasting continuous porn movies into the labs, I'm not sure what to do about the pop situation ...

2165 sent

[mark13]

One frickin' turn. Why does it always have to be one frickin' turn?!?!

Oh well....PB time



2165 to Misotu once more....

[Misotu]

Now, Dr Evil, play nice

Ah well, after that sudden burst of good fortune, things are back to normal. My beeline has evaporated, lost a sea former and I'll lose a further sea former next turn ...

Bah!

2166 back to Mark.

[mark13]

As I said, I'm shooting for my fastest personal transcendence. Not interested in Misotu's progress. No, no, no, no, no, no....

Ha!

2166 to my colleague, who just happens to be on the same planet. But not my opponent. Oh no....

[Misotu]

Lost that sea former as predicted, but cast caution to the winds and popped a pod with it before its inevitable demise. 100 credits. Softened the blow a little

Rumour has it that Provost Misotu gave up smoking today. This makes things very hard, since apparently the Provost tends to chain-smoke while on Planet ...

Anyhow, 2167 is back to Mark.

[Misotu]

And 2168 is off to Mark from a very irritable Provost Mis. Some games I can just play ... some *require* a *** to induce that ideal, contemplative mood. How am I supposed to do this without nicotine???

:sulk:

Oh well. I'm sure the extra 10-20 years of my life will be worth the sacrifice now ... And if I walk under a bus before then, I'm going to come back and haunt my nagging family. Horrifically. And at inconvenient times of the night.

[Misotu]

Welcome back Mark 2169 is sent.

[Misotu]

The Ascetic Virtues builds in Misotuland and 2170 is off to Mark.

[Misotu]

2171 is off to Mark, as Provost Mis completes her third, smoke-free week

[Killjoy]

Misotu

What has happened with this game? Are you and mark13 still playing, or has it gone the way of so many other pbems?

The friendly banter back and forth between you two has been great, and inspired!

I'm still astounded and intrigued as to how you managed to build a S.P. so early. I'd love to know how this game finishes.

Still smoke-free (he says as he lights up)?

Cheers

[Misotu]

Hi there Killjoy

Glad you enjoyed the thread Yeah, we're still playing. Mark has had to disappear for a few weeks, but we're going to continue when he gets back (so he tells me. Personally, I think this is part of Evil Dr Mark's Scheme for Defeat by Pygmy Nations, Avoidance of, but that could just be the drug-withdrawal talking ...)

Revealing the secret of early project-building is (c 2001) Misotu (TM), but I could probably be persuaded for a ***. Any ***, any length, any brand. Actually, a dog-end would probably do the trick right now, especially if you've got a light ...

Yeah, still smoke-free. Desperate, but smoke-free ...

And don't light up in front of me like that, you callous person you!
