Deathmatch Ii

[H0bbes]

2121 is turned.

[H0bbes]

As is 2122.

It's been a while... We're up to 2137. I'm digging in vs the Uni, trying to work a border push... For some reason, they're destroying the Borehole Cluster, which only lies partially in my territory. The laser units and probes are already knocking, and I'm still in early development. It is definitely nice to be the Hive in this situation! I predict University destruction, conservatively, by 2200... Of course, Roze will probably have transcended by then.

Whatever turn it was, was turned! My only contact has been with the consciousness. Last turn they stole my synthmetal rover.

Edit: I have twice recived the following message & hence cannot send the turn:

Guess you need a new email address.

[vitamin j]

I've mailed you an alternate, here it is again: vitaminj31@hotmail.com
Hopefully, my icrazy address will get straightened out again. Let me know if you get the message I sent from there...

[H0bbes]

I haven't received any messages or turns from you from any address.

[H0bbes]

2140 2 you via hotmail.

[vitamin j]

Valiant Hive Defense Forces continue to hold off 10 times their number at a strategic border crossing. Hordes of University artillery can't break the resolve of Chairman Yangs freedom fighters. But with inferior technology, how long can the Hive last?

2140 to Hobbes

[H0bbes]

Turned.

[vitamin j]

2141 to Hobbes.

First sighting of enemy impact units...

[H0bbes]

Turned without loss for once. Damn those consciousness probes!

[H0bbes]

Onwards again.

[H0bbes]

2144 onwards.

[Flubber]

hey gents

Is this one of the "thunderdome" games ?-- I took on thunderdome I as a replacement for Deimos in the 2160s (Spartans). I must say that so far it seems a good challenge and hopefully one of these years I'll be able to do something other than trade blow for blow with hordes of AI LOL

A voice carried across an interdimensional rift to a mirror planet
" Send help !!"
Unfortunately the call went unanswered.

Hey Flubber, you got it... I'm hanging in there. My bases haven't come under direct assault yet, but it's only a matter of time. I do have some room for expansion, and I'm filling it as fast as I can, but it's slow going. Probe teams are my only hope to catch up tech-wise... I think Roze having infiltration on everyone from the start is going to be the real kicker...

2144 to Hobbes.

Having fun down there, mate? Remember, fundamentalism is your friend!
