Turns of AXT043 game in Apolyton PBEM Tournament

[The Commodore]

Turn 2107 to the Fungus-Boy.

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

I walk up to it,
And it is vast.
It fills my view,
Blocking the stars.
I go to it,
And I scrape my hand upon the doorway.

In the Monolith,
I am filled with wonder.
Alien made, with alien designs.
I know not what they do.

I leave.
I feel stronger, more alert.
I glance at the torn hand.
It is healed.

2107 to the Provost...

sorry, Koba, I never ment to discredit you with these guys here...
I admit I had loads of fun myself when he took my entire civ out in three or four turns. It is incredible what damage these PBs can do. It was my first experience with PBs ever and I will never ever not protect myself against them if I can...

I'll say it again: Anunikoba is a very reasonable guy and you can trust him.

May the fungus be with you...

2107 on to the very reasonable Hive

[Sarxis]

2107 sent to cyborgs.

Is it me, or is anyone else moderately disappointed in the way our civs look? I wonder if a CMN could fix this.

Turn 2108 to Cultists...

My graphic set is Cyborg norm.

[Rastapopoulos]

2108 to UoP.

Yes , I am moderately disappointed, as you put it. I can stand it for now, but I'd like to get it fixed as we move into the mid-game.

2108 to the Hive


I do not mind it-- I consistently show up as the Drones - but if there was a fix I would be for it.

[Tau Ceti]

The only way to 'fix' it permanently is to restart and not make the game a scenario. Since it seems to affect your gaming enjoyment, it may be the way to go, and I am certainly willing to do so. But as I am rather overworked at the moment, I cannot really say when. Also note that I have no control of the map in random starts, so I cannot replicate your starting positions or anything.

[Rastapopoulos]

no,no, I'm against doing that.
I'd just like to know if anyone has tried what Tau Ceti proposed earlier on: to have a game with the same factions in the same order and enter that before entering our game, or something like that, I don't quite remember. Whoever has such a game file, please send it to me, or tell me how I can make one..

2108 to the cyborgs

[The Commodore]

Turn 2109 to Rasta...


D'oh! My graphics ARE Usurper! Their bases look so mush like those of the Cyborgs...

[Rastapopoulos]

turn to UoP...

and you never did wonder that your scout patrols look strangish..?

May the fungus be with you...

The reddish University passes the turn to the Hive 2109

[The Commodore]

Y'know, it's funny, my Colony Pod and Scouts are human...

Professor cbn having emerged unscathed from intensive pschoanalysis due to his delusion that he was a Drone returned to his position as Chancellor to lead his people. the following is an exerpt from a faculty meeting.

" Provost we have had complaints from the engineering and geological faculties. They claim that all their students have been appropriated for field studies ordered by the Chancellors office"

" That is true, I have assigned them to campus security and to the environmental studies division. I think we should hear from them next.

"Campus security reports no incidents but one strange development. A patrol encountered a black cylinder but when they approached it a mass of writhing worms emerged. Although small in size the patrol was immediately stricken with terror. We shall have to await their next report."

"Environmental Studies here-- the land is infertile amd we are almost surrounded by a thick pink mossy growth. We have managed to penetrate this growth and discovered a tree but it is huge. Initial studies show that this thing actually generate more moss amd we have identified what we believe to be worm larvae"

The chancellor considered these words " there are many challenges but we must continue our research despite any adversity. We must focus our research into areas that will permit us to best adapt to this strange land. I want you all to table your research proposals for my review. I also want you to speak to our other faulty and students. We have much work to do and I will have no tolerance for bickering and in-fighting. We all must take our turns in unacustomed roles including security and physical labor.That is a fact. We must remain vigilent that any dissatisfaction does not throw us into disarray.
