Hi!
Could you please resend to gabrielm@fx.ro because of email problems? Thx

[Darsnan]

Not much to report: breed, breed, breed, expand, expand, expand, still wonder who it was on my border that "Old Gimpy" took care of for me: we tried dissecting the remains, but the scout team had flamed the beast too well for there to be much salvagable other than a few energy credits.

Turn sent to Spasm.

After re-reading the original thread, I see what you mean: hopefully Planet can discern the difference between pridefull boasting and self ridicule: I am now nervously looking over my shoulder as I type this in case the mindworms decide to attack tonight, and JUST WHO IS GOING TO ROCK ME TO SLEEP TONIGHT, WITH THE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE JUST IMPARTED ON ME!?!

Before I forget about it again, why Turn sent to Spasm @ 8:00pm est.

I am going now to make some fungal coffee, in order to stay awake until the first of the binary stars arises tomorrow.....

What I ment was that Planet seems to have something against boasters. Of course Black Sunrise could have been targeted because he dissed Planet.

The Gaian High Council is well versed in the english language, and we completely understand the meaning of the words "Feable" and "Wanting": in fact, if you look up in the Planetary Dictionary these words (you know, the dictionary you use for "Planet Scrabble"), it will say "see the Gaian's pathetic Military capabilities".

Heah Googlie,
read your post, too. We've got a good, and very vocal, group of players on this Planet you created. I can't speak for the others, but I'll do my best to keep you coming back for more: what I'm doing is building the storyline of Darsnan, who will rise from scout status to, well, you'll have to wait and see!


Cheers!

Hey Guys:

Just wanted to say - what a great read. Keep up the inventive posts. (I usually check from time to time on the games I've CMN'd - I'll be visiting this one often !!)

An injured mindworm had been stalking Last Rose of Summer for several Standard Turns. But, because of its injured state, the animal was only a shadow of its former self, and the locals took to calling it "Old Gimpy", shooing the animal away whenever it got too close to the city. Finally, with the mindworm starving to death because it couldn't capture food anymore, it charged the settlement. Our defensive force waited until the animal was well within range, then flamed it down, ending its agony.
In other news, the Gaian High Council is proud to announce that the computer has upgraded our military capability from "Feeble" to "Wanting"! Alright!!!! So who wants a piece of the Big Green Machine, huh!?!

"You know, I can almost picture him with his fists balled up and stomping his feet because he didn't win."
Even though this was said within the confines of the Council Chambers, where everything was sancrosanct, Lady Deidre shot the man a scathing glance, "we should offer words of condolence to the Peace Keepers, and not take parting shots at the man. Let him say what he has to say, and if time proves him right, then he is a better person for it." Lady Deidre turned to her Political Officer, "Well, how does this impact us?"
"Not as significantly as some of the other factions: we never traded world maps, so our location is still safe for the time being, and we can use this and our non-alignment as bargaining chips."
"So do you feel that a Pact with the Hive would be beneficial?"
"What they offer is significant: techs that we need, as well as simply being able to say that we are in Pact with a strong power on Planet. If whoever is harassing our borders turns out to be a significant threat, then by gaining the techs The Hive offers we will be all the more prepared for when they attack."

"Well, the good news is, apparently a large amount of resources are no longer in the hands of the Spartans.
The bad news is, they now have infiltrated the datalinks of every faction on Planet.
Also bad is the fact that both SPasmofiT and Zhak, with both of whom we thought we had understandings, chose to support the usurper.
Interestingly, Spasmofit appears to have received some significant reward from an undisclosed source. We fear illegal campaign contributions on the part of the Spartant Federation.
Rest assured, people: we will capture the Presidency. If not in 20 years, then in 40. We will not be stopped on this matter."

you now have 17 votes: even before I read your latest post, I had voted for you, Black Sunrise. If Spasm votes for you, you'll retain leadership, and from the latest conversation I had with Spasm, he seemed to be concerned with the strength of the Spartans, so I am inclined to believe he will vote for you as well.
As far as your offer of intelligence information is concerned: this would be greatly appreciated. I am pretty sure an AI is lurking on my borders (I'm stumbling on A LOT of opened pods and fungal blooms, and its starting to impact me ). May Planet be with you.

Turned to Spasm at 8:30pm est.
