Turns of AXT029 game, third thread

[Misotu]

That's right, no bribing or accepting bribes from human-controlled factions in the election screen. Apologies for the reload message - my PC tried to dial in while I was playing the turn and the game froze Nothing changed, except that one of my units didn't make it onto a new square with 0.3 movement points left the second time around ...

2169 is off to RedFred

Grumble. Just like a real election. Didn't like any of the choices. What the heck, I'll go with Alinestra.

I once had a single player game where I bribed enough votes to get in for twenty years. When the next election came up I wasn't even one of the candidates. By voting strategically I managed to deadlock the election and stay in another twenty years.

2170 to Alinestra.

Okay, a few things need to be mentioned here, since this is my first PBEM and I'm not au fait with PBEM Planetary Council.

I have called a Planetary Election and the two contenders are myself and Misotu. I've voted for Misotu. I understand that in this case we are not allowed to contact other human players to make deals, nor may we accept computer-offered deals from other players' factions.

If I have done anything untoward, please excuse me as it's my first ever dalliance with PBEM procedures. Also please excuse the Chairman Yang as well - it's his first ever dalliance with democratic electorial procedures.

Turn turned to Googlie.

[Alinestra Covelia]

Turn heading out to Googlie soon.

[Googlie]

2170 to Misotu

(And it is interesting that citizens in transit - forming colony pod convoys - are disenfranchised. If I hadn't built 3 CP's last turn but instead had left my good citizens tilling the fields and tending the forests in their home bases, I would have been the other candidate, not AC. I expect the great democracy advocate and defender of the UN Charter to rectify this injustice)

Sadly, Lal didn't make it to Planet this time so there's no-one around to defend the sissy UN Charter. Unethical research is more our line ...

2170 is off to RedFred.

This post has been edited for unsightly smugness, and to fit your screen.

Just to let you know, I'll be away for a few days from lunchtime Tuesday until Friday evening/Sat morning. Apologies for the delay this will cause.

2172 to Alinestra. Thanks for the resend Mis. I didn't need it though, I was just slow. (Can't even blame Hotmail.)

[Alinestra Covelia]

Googlie should have gotten the game some time last night.

2172 went to Misotu late on the 23rd
