I look at the reports. Nothing. Still no sign of the others.

Admiral Pi-Johnston is upset...he have a crack unit of Impact Ships, and no-one to use them on.

Hi everyone,
just to keep you all updated.
I have arrived and succesfully installed SMAC. Problem is, I am still missing the SMAX-CD, which I am having sent here by regular mail currently.
It should be here by tomorrow, from which point on I will join the game again.
Sorry for the inconvenience...


------------------
May the fungus be with you...

Thanks for the update-- I was wondering if this game was off the rails.

Hopefully we will get the turns flowing fast again soon

turn sent to the provost...
Everything's running smoothly now. I may play a little slower than usual because I'm quite busy here, but no real slowdown anymore...

Glad to hear you are back in action. I should be sending the turn on by 1800 Apolyton time.

Chancellor cbn of the University of Lookslike Drones considerd the stack of research reports before him. exploration reported that the strange pink fungus growth seemed to cover over half the land and a similar proportion of the sea. Strange beasts kept appearing out of it and attacking without notice. This was having a hugely detrimental effect on morale.

Communications branch reported that there were clear signs that there were 6 other factions on PLanet but contact was too sporadic to communicate anything other than the fact of the existence of some of these factions. Actual contact with other factions involved --- CENSORED BY THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COMMISSION.

The chancellor was concerned about his people. As intellectuals thay seemed very unhappy at the prospect of manual labour. Fights had broken out when the philosophy department rejected the need for physical labour, claiming that their thoughts were their contribution. The dispute erupted when a nutritionist denied them rations with the statement that this should test whether "thinking about eating was as effective as you seem to believe thinking about shovelling and working to be".

In another area of the faculty, construction of a building was delayed for two days as a group of physicists debated the best theoretical structural form. Apparently the dispute was nearly settled until an engineer questioned the assumed values for gravity and the strength of the available materials. In all 18 differing papers on the issues were presented before the department head exclaimed " we are not building a spaceship and it does not have to be able to withstand 1000 tons of rock falling on it. I JUST WANT A ROOF !!!!

Turn 2129 to the Hive

[Sarxis]

Turn sent to Cyborgs.

[The Commodore]

Rasta's turn, I have sent.

[cbn]

Turn 2130 to the Hive

[Rastapopoulos]

turn sent...

[cbn]

Just a question as to where the turn is-- I played 2130 yesterday and the next thing posted is Rastapopolous saying "turn sent"-- I'm figuring I just got in my turn notification before him and that 2130 is with Anunikoba but I just wanted to check since the other possibility is that the turn whipped around quickly and I should have 2131.

[Sarxis]

Turn sent to non-biological and biological amalgamations.
