DT8: Mark13 vs Misotu, second thread

[mark13]

Oh yeah - LOL, that one.

Well....your analysis of this game is rather less lop-sided than I'd have given it, I must admit. I've gone down a somewhat unconventional beeline, going with circumstancs, I guess....there was next to no chance of me getting the ToE, so the plan was to concentrate on growth, and go for the Vats. So....here I am

Your tech lead is quite convincing, and I'm quite sure your tech rate far surpasses mine right now. Hell, I haven't even managed to get an energy park up....yet....

Oh well, enough of my whingeing - 2187 to Mis....

[Misotu]

When I said "slim", that was "slim" as in "non-existent". Congrats on the Vats, Provost :hmm:

Well put it this way. I am less sanguine now I have all the facts than I was when I was blissfully ignorant I am ahead on tech, no question, but not nearly so far ahead as I thought. On the last three b/throughs I wasn't offered the tech I wanted twice, which will also cost me dear I have a better research rate than you do, but not by that much considering you don't have Fusion yet. Yeah, I'm ahead pop-wise but that's temporary (VERY temporary with the Vats!! just got the election in in time, heh ). My economy, however, is extremely strong and may carry me through. I also have the two key research SPs, which has to count for something ...

Turns out it wasn't you who stirred up that IoD - your transport is miles away. But I blame you regardless and the people are calling for your blood

2188 is sent

[mark13]

Hmmm, sounds markedly more promising than I had thought. Anyway, Fusion beckons next turn....and the Misotu-hunter is prototyped

Well, at the moment, I'm scrambling. I don't have an economy right now....though hopefully with the next stage of the plan that will change. Fusion will help when I get those labsup, not to mention those handy cheap Fusion Speeder Supplies (no, not those Fusion Speeder Supplies, G, if you're reading )

Anyway, the two research SPs must count heavily in your favour....so you're still hot favourite, without a question. It'll be interesting to see, that's for sure....

2188 to Mis...

Yeah - that one. Vendetta on you Provost Mark! Your pursuit of knowledge is nothing but a thinly-disguised weapons programme ... um ... we will now place this tech in responsible hands ... um something.

"Misotu Hunter". Hah! Your transport is no more - stay out of my waters or face the consequences!

Mwa hahahaha ... urgh ... choke.

2189 to the now-tragically-short-of-a-transport Provost

[mark13]

I am very surprised! To think that Misotu attacked me like that without even trying to get to know me first!

Ah well. The Misotu-Hunter didn't produce after all, because those clever people at the design workshop decided it would be clever to forego building that for a turn to upgrade the bugger to Fusion. So...we wait another turn

2189 to the inhumane megalomaniac across the Mark Trench

[Misotu]

Dammit! No turn received, so only time to post several insulting remarks plus a request for a resend.

We already know everything we need to know about you, Provost. Your aspirations for world domination and transcendence are well known, so don't come the innocent with us ...

The Mark Trench, as you well know, was claimed by Misotu explorers yonks ago you cheeky wee bugger ...

[Misotu]

Tap, tap, tap go the fingers. He's watching Liverpool do pathetically against some Euro team. OK, Dortmund. Where is Owen? Wot is he doing? Why do they keep tripping him up? And what kind of man calls himself Bo*****?

Also ... where is my turn???

Edited: Gotta love that Apolyton auto-edit program Bobytch it sounds like. But too reminiscent of Bobbit, don'tcha think?

[mark13]

Hmmm. Let's try again then....

As for Liverpool....

BTW - that'll be Freddy Bobic then, yeah?

Ah well, let's see if hotmail behaves this time. Turn sent to both mis@hotmail and mis@usa....

[Misotu]

Got it and playing now ... Bobic eh? No need to get flash with your Euro credentials young Mark. It still *sounds* like Bobytch

[Misotu]

Nothing much to report, except that Provost Mark should erect a temple to an IoD for services of which he'll never be aware

2190 is sent

[mark13]

Oh, I know all about IoDs. Fat lot of good the Neural Amp does

In other news, the first airborne colony pod takes to the air. Yep, it really is that exciting....

2190 to Mis....

[Misotu]

Airborne colony pods??? Coo. I missed that one. (Rushes to the game to take a look) ...

[Misotu]

Hmmph. Ever noticed how there's never an IoD around when you need one? And then a bunch of them arrive together ...

Bah! 2191 to Mark.

[mark13]

Hmmm. The sighting of six Misotuite satellites high in the sky did nothing to inspire Markite cnfidence. However, we can confirm the first of hopefully many Markite satellites is about to launch.

The discovery of The Will to Power beckons....

Edit - 2191 to Mis. Yes, I know, I know - it's 1am. Well, that's my excuse anyway

[Misotu]

Satellites? Oh ... yeah ... those satellites ...

Just a failed experiment. You know how it is. Lots of lab facilities, lots of junk lying around, the lads start playing rockets, before you know it you've got weird stuff orbiting the Planet. Nothing to worry about ...

The growth across the pond is somewhat alarming though - now that is something to worry about ...

2192 to Mark.
