US pbem game - part 5

Him the d... Swissy has a hook on me.

I can build the sensorium - but the city and the wonder would be destroyed by the spanish Eden-project.

So I would immidiate loose a wonder a 3 big cities

And if I go to war - he would probably also let the Eden project build

The phoenician scientists and wise men from the political establishment has ended their meeting.

A new form of government should now be available to all the world.

VIRTUAL DEMOCRACY.

The concept has been given to all - except to the spanish, as the assembly fears for the reaction of the greens in the spanish government.

If the spanish promise not to build the Eden Project, then the knowledge will be given to them - free and without any other conditions.

The phoenician communist regime have in these hours their last time at power Hamilcar think - all over the nation people are gathering in the streets. The people WILL stand up against dictators - sooner or later they will.

[Flandrien]

We have accepted the Phoenician concept of virtual democracy.
However, current board of industry tycoons is very reluctant to accept this new government.
They fear that giving power to the people will only result in irrational decisions, seriously hampering Egyptian free enterprise, which is currently performing so well.

An emissary was sent to king Swissy of the Spanish.
If he accepts our simple demands, we will accept his peace treaty.

267 to Don

The Spanish have no uses for Virtual Democracy at this time. Production output is to slow, and this world has shown itself to be quite violent.

On another front, the world pollution chart has seen a large drop in the number of turns until the next eco-disaster. The number is now eleven turns. This dispite a hugh decrease in the output of toxins by the Phonecians.

Turn to Maestro.

As one of his last actions, Hasdrubal ordered workers and scientists back on the Sensorium project.

I don't care anymore. Work now and die later - or die now. Hasrubal is now using his eliteforces to terror the people. Most of the regular troop has left their garrisions and are now beyound Hasdrubals reach.

In the backstage, Hamilcar is waiting with patience. Hasdrubal is indeed his own worst enemy.

[Flandrien]

turn 268 -> Swissy

[Flandrien]

So, the sensorium has been completed.
The eden project will not be built.

Just as the old saying goes : 'The soup is never eaten as hot as it is served.'


turn 269 -> Swissy

Turn 270 to Maestro.

No, not even the greens do want to destroy their own city. Leon is p.t. the city with most pollution!

Come-on. Last chance for a quick nuclear war . I see the Nanite defuser are under construction

The Spanish are actually quite satisfied with the Nanopedia. Fusion tanks in a matter of a few turns isn't bad. And, if I want to build the EdenPproject at some later time, it will take but 8 turns to churn it out. What does disturb the Spanish is the Eco-disaster predicted in eight turns. This one will be a rain of "dead squares" as I remember from APQS. And as for Leon being the top pollutor, the recycling plant will be done in 3 turns.

A dark night, a young man dressed in black climbed the cliffs from the sea to the walls of the dictators palace at Emperors Rest.

The guards didn't notice anything - or didn't want to notice.

In Hasdrubals office, a man sat still - looking as was he a statue. Pale, stiff. The man was the former aggresive and ambitious general of the phoenician armed forces - and now dictator of the nation.

"You" he said, when he spotted the dark ghost. "I have been waiting for you".

"I know - now your time has come. I shall revenge my father - you....."

"Don't be too fast". Hasdrubal draw a small gun from his pocket, pointed it at Hamilcar. A shot was heard.


Later, on a small boat down the coast, Hamilcar's loyal comrades asked what was happened. But he did not answer them. Only one in the world knew - and he wouldn't tell.


The next day - a total collaps of the phoenician communist authorities was a reality.

The nation waits........

[Flandrien]

War and peace between Spanish and Egyptians comes and goes, like the high and low tide of the ocean.
The tide may currently be low, but the promise of fresh Spanish fusion tanks leaves no doubt that soon, the tide will rise again.

News from Phoenician high-society is keeping the entire nation stuck to their web box.
Soap vendors are having a hard time.
