Nato Unravelled - 2 - Third thread for turn reporting

[Googlie]

Figured as the old one was so slow in loading, time for a new one (and good year, too, at 2200)

[big_canuk]

2201 to Tau

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

I will take NS's last base next turn. I have asked him to change to a scout and burn it.

NS:

I really am *sorry* to welcome you to this game this way. But the way your research was going, I had already resolved long before you arrived to do something about it. It is unfortunate that you arrived just in time to sit and watch. (I liked the unity rover against the fusion silksteel sentinal. Nice touch.)

See you in future games. I look forward to them.

[NorthSwordsman]

Ah well. Next time, then, fellas. If you have a rematch, include me, please. I'd like the honor of kicking BC's butt back to Earth.

I will burn the base down as asked...

[Tau Ceti]

2201 to Googlie.

Though it will not help me one bit, at least I finally managed to beat big_canuk to the Cloning Vats in one of these games.

The council has been called to discuss the matter of a global trade pact. Foreman Tau Ceti has voted Nay.

Thanks for the game, NS. Shame it did not last longer.

[NorthSwordsman]

Turn to BC.

The scout will take 2 turns, as I do not have enough EC's. When the scout is completed, it will obliterate the base.

[big_canuk]

2202 to Tau

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

Election for Planetary Governor called.

[Tau Ceti]

Now there is a surprise.

2202 to Googlie. I did not get a message with the result, since big_c called the council again immediately, but I expect the trade pact was defeated?

Now taking bets on how long I will last. I give myself the benefit of the doubt and say 10 turns.

NS, looks like you will get another turn. Big_canuk moved a unit onto the rocky square you were using and delayed your production.

[NorthSwordsman]

BC, will you quit messing with me already? Isn't it enough you have pounded me into the fungus and killed everyone? I keep my word! The base will be destroyed, just need a unit to do it with.

[Googlie]

2202 to NS

Election for Governor hangs on NS's vote

(Tau: 307votes ......... b_c: 687 votes, with NS to vote)

[NorthSwordsman]

2202 to BC.

It will take 3 turns now because I was robbed of the one mineral producing square in my base radius by BC.

Final Vote:

Tau Ceti 308 (voting: Tau, NS)
B_C 687 (voting: BC, Googlie)

[big_canuk]

lol...

2203 to Tau

[Tau Ceti]

2203 to Googlie.

After that mistake, my life expectancy has dropped to about 5 turns.

[Googlie]

2203 to NS

[NorthSwordsman]

2203 to BC. One turn to scout.

[big_canuk]

2204 to the hopefully now blind, Tau.
