Turn 2101 to Dacole
Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.
Not allies, just "friendly" AI somewhere on the map. Yeah standard rules i guess, no contact until we've found each other, bought comms or council convened.

If you make one change to your alpha.tzt (as most of us that play PBEMs have), then you'll be unable to contact in-game until physical contact is made or you otherwise get the commlink.
This change is simple - change a 1 to a 0 in the bolded line below (towards the end of the #RULES early section of alpha.txt):
Gravity, ; Technology to allow orbital insertion w/o Space Elevator
EcoEng2, ; Technology for +1 mining platform bonus
PlaEcon, ; Technology for economic victory
1, ; If non-zero, probe teams can steal technologies
1, ; If non-zero, humans can always contact each other in net games 0, ; If non-zero, humans can always contact each other in hotseat/email games
50, ; Maximum % damage inflicted by arty versus units in base/bunker
99, ; Maximum % damage inflicted by arty versus units in open
100, ; Maximum % damage inflicted by arty versus units at sea
1, 1 ; Numerator/Denominator for frequency of global warming (1,2 would be "half" normal warming).
2100 ; Normal starting year
etc, etc

Hive Report 2104
Scout patrol encounters native life forms, scientists have classified these giant mottled worms as parasetic and thus dangerous. Flame guns were quickly equipped and the following combat saw the creatures destroyed.
Troops are weary of entering further fungus patches without support.
