Turns of ACT060

[H0bbes]

2197 to Henwen.

[Hendrik]

Ooof, nice counterattack Mongoose, but how many missle choppers did it take to destroy my defenses? It seems that I killed 3 or 4 missle choppers and 1 drop infantry, but I lost all of my air units in that base. At least we are fighting further away from my productive bases, and closer to YOUR productive bases

turned

[Mongoose]

A couple more than I should have lost. I erred, thinking I had no more choppers in range, and dropped the infantry for a desperation attack. Had I found the other choppers first, I would have taken the base and been able to put at least one of the chops into it.

I have not played well in the turn under way, either. Grabbed an opportunity to chop up a Believing Colony Pod..landed the chopper, THEN noticed Mim has two unguarded noodles in a base within range. Serve me right if she kills two of my units with them.

Damned stupid Lal...I dropped a Plasma garrison up by his western base...(I tried repeatedly to give him PlasmaSteel last turn, to no avail.)...he called me up and broke our pact. Looks like Hen eats his lunch and I get to deal with Gaian choppers in PK bases...lovely.

Slight delay on sending this one on as I confer with Hobbes.

[Paul]

2197 to Hobbes

[H0bbes]

On to HW.

[Hendrik]

Brother Lal finally realized the evils of his former allies, the facist Hive, and allied with the us after we presented him with some very persuasive arguments. Arguments as in choppers

2198 to Mongoose

[Mongoose]

2198 sent to H0bbes.

Paul is gone, and he never said good bye! I presume he obliterated; I did not attack his last base. I wonder if he was surprised when he didn't escape in the last colony pod.

[Paul]

After Tau Ceti's post, I was surprised not to get restarted. Although I doubt that I would have been able to do much against the headstart that the others would have, so it doesn't really matter.

[H0bbes]

2199 to the Gaian.

[Tau Ceti]

That is surprising. Restart is supposed to work even when you obliterate yourself (I have heard tales of Morganites starting the game with a series of self-obliterations, getting another 100 ec every time), and my previous experiences have always indicated a 2200 cutoff point. One more thing for someone to check more thoroughly, then...

[Mongoose]

It may have been a case of no suitable restart location being available. H0bbes was restarted on a pitiful little island, barely large enough to supoort three decent sized bases.

[Hendrik]

I have called council for the global trade pact, Lal Morgan and myself have voted yea, Miriam has voted nay.

2199 to Mongoose

Farewell Paul, our alliance was good while it lasted. I am already missing the commerce income

[Mongoose]

2199 sent to H0bbes

I voted no on Global Trade...ties lose, you know. At any event, my vote is enough to sustain the Governor's veto.

The only thing better than an elite probe team is a dead enemy elite probe team, served up with a heaping helping of dead crusier probe.

U.N. Commerce Committee is mine, for the time being.

[H0bbes]

2200 to Henwen.

Proposal defeated due to Mong's veto.

Hobbes

[Hendrik]

Damn I forgot how proceedings like this work. U.N. commerce committee has been wiped off the face of planet due to our conflict... the setbacks to the Gaian covert efforts are only temporary.
