Invasion Planet Earth

[Thoddy]

Thanks for greetings.

My problem in accessing the Apolyton Forum was not the www.
Our firewall had blocked me. Now the problem seems to be disappeared.

Only short story,

After a short reign of only 13 turns Thoddy must retire, due to illness.

At the beginnig of my turn I saw some cities starving, because of settler support (food and shields). Keep some eyes open.
My first priority was to establish more income. I rushbuild some monetary improvements and in this way our cash flow grows from
expenses 107 and income 143 to 141/262. Research is 4 turns.
We have now almost 10 million people in our fine Empire.
Americans build Hoover Dam, someone else Bachs Cathedral.

Well, it's still in Malignantx's hands. If he hasn't given us notice by Sunday, I'll skip him and play the next 15-20 turns.

I am leaving for a summer holiday (three months) tommorow, where I will not have access to the internet, so skip me until I return.

Yeah, that was my original motivation for reading this thread, too. But now I'd be willing to play, just to keep things going! Let me know if you need a player, guys.

What he said. This was looking intersesting. I'll have a go if you need an extra player.

[Julius Brenzaida]

Well, guys :
I'm sorry for the delay as I am the one in charge of this Sucession Game. Malignantx has disappeared and he was at the bottom of the list, so Rufus and Thot could join now. I'm going to send Rufus the file tomorrow morning. Roman is on holiday, he will join back if the game isn't finished when he returns.
Does it look ok ?

Cool! Julius, send the file to johngroch@yahoo.com (why, oh why won't Apolyton accept yahoo addresses?). Am I to play 10 turns or 20? I'll play it this weekend and pass it on (please make it this weekend, though, if you can; my students begin turning in their exams on Monday).

Game sent to Rufus. You may play between 10 and 20 turns. Good luck ! We're not in the strongest of a position. But it should be sufficient to win in the long run.
Thot, can you confirm that you want to join, too ?

Problems, gang. Just got the file, unzipped it, and tried to play. Instead I got this message: "Failed to load game. File in obsolete format." Any ideas about what that may mean or how to fix it? If not, i guess I have to pass, having enjoyed a brief, Al-Gore-like almost-presidency.
