2144 has found it's way in Rubin's inbox...

**********************************************

Gaia's Landing, MY 2144

Lady Deirdre was surely a not to underestimated leader, Enid thought. Not only succeeded see in manipulating the Planetary Elections 15 years ago, but sofar she has shown restraint for meddling too much with the private politics of other factions.
However, correlating the information gathered in her parting 'gift' from Dr. Rubin, and having a lucky indept conversation last evening with Lady Skye herself revealed something of her longterm wishes for the whole Planet. Surely the Kingdom would need to keep an eye on what values it persuaded in the future...

[Rubin]

2145 to Sankis.

[Sankis]

2145 passed to the President Aeolus of the "Doing poorly" Club.

(I'm vice president)

I'll probably do a RP post sometime soon, if I can think of a topic to do it on.

Also, starting tomarrow i'll be in a rather large, fast paced SMAX PBEM game. I'm going to keep this game my first priority since I joined it first. Of course, it probably won't affect me at all since its a team game but just wished to say that.

[GeoModder]

Barinthus?

[Barinthus]

Hey folks, I was out of the town unexpectedly and didn't get the chance to let you folks know, I'm sorry.

BTW, Vice President, please check your email.

[Barinthus]

The turn is in Geo's hands.

[GeoModder]

Turn 2145 sent to Rubin.
Some diplomacy sent around.

**************************************************

Kingdom of Atlantis, MY 2145.2405

The Kingdom was mourning.
The Queen, her consort and the highest placed councelors
of the Democratic Council had died in the recent fungal growth
near New Atlantis, overwhelming their ship when departing for
a diplomatic visit to another faction.
The Kingdom was without a government now.

Princess Enid was hastily called back to New Atlantis so that
other factions could not try making a profit of this situation.
Old sentiments and feuds came up, some unrest occured.
All this initiated a conservative stance from the majority of
the population. In the end, and accepted as a Constitution now,
the Monarchy became once again the head of state with real
political power and vetorights, advised by a representative
council for the the more mundane internal things.

Princess Enid was, naturally, choosen as the next
Queen of Atlantis.

Almost as a first diplomatic success, a Treaty was signed with
the Peacekeepers, ending the border disagreement initiated
by the previous council. Also, the new Queen announced a new
and stunning development program for the benefice of research
and internal communication. The construction of a modern
Network got started.

Despite these new losses, the Kingdom recovered and
continued to become even stronger then before.

Here in attachment is a new atlants.pcx file for those of you who want to see the new Queen.
Simply paste it unzipped over the existing atlants.pcx file in your SMAC(X) root folder, it doesn't interfere with anything else.

Thanks to the delay last weekend I was able to think is over quite throughly. Main reason for this leader switch is that I found it always akward that a human being can live so long before Bio-Engineering (and the Longevity Vaccine) comes along. IMO Biogenetics is not sufficiently for such a feath.

[Rubin]

Dear players, I've suffered a critical harddisk failure 48 hours ago. I need to install everything again and it may be some time before I can get the turn forwarded--hopefully within 24 hours. Please be patient.

[GeoModder]

I wish your system a speedy recovery, Rubin.

[Rubin]

Thanks, GeoModder.

2146 to Sankis.

[Barinthus]

Ack, I hate when that happen, Rubin.
