Lone Island turn tracking thread

This idiot managed to have FOUR colony pods destroyed!

2122 mailed. Yes, I popped a unity rover rather early and killed I believe 3 of his initial colony pods, which he did not escort. Set him back quite a bit it seems. Stacked, unescorted colony pods? You've got to love the AI..

Turn mailed. Hive only has 2 council votes left, so this war is going well.

[bluetemplar]

turn NOT enclosed...

[JustinSane]

Might I ask why? You sound as if I've offended you somehow. I'd appreciate at least knowing why if you have decided not to continue the game..

[bluetemplar]

Sorry, I only meant that You didn't send me the turn (you said "Turn enclosed" in the mail) with the mail... again

[JustinSane]

I'm really sorry about that.. it should be correct this time, I triple checked.

[bluetemplar]

np, can happen to anybody...
is an automatic system possible to program?

[JustinSane]

I have no idea; I know nothing about programming. I wonder if it is failing somehow or if I just keep making the same mistake? I guess it's most likely I just erred twice. How could such a program be written?

[bluetemplar]

Don't know really... Should choose my allies more wisely in the future... :/

[JustinSane]

Ok, turn sent (pretty sure at least). Command Nexus completed! Yay!

[bluetemplar]

Wow, that was fast!

Ok, you've beat me... I don't see the point in continuing this game since I will be shortly obliterated by Lal...
I pretty much screwed up my first 10 turns...

What do you say that we make a new game: random tiny/small/(standart?) map with 5 AI?
(since i don't have the time to ccreate another map...)

[bluetemplar]

Another Idea : do you have Msn Messenger / ICQ or something like that?
Turns could be even faster that way!

[JustinSane]

Thank you for an interesting first game!

If you want to continue, I could probably get Lal to call of the hounds. I suppose that my doing that would indicate the game was no longer competitive though.. I just got some good breaks early game I think. Multiple AA's, a couple unity rovers that did early damage to Yang and several consecutive victories with favorable but not overwhelming odds (5 to 3 or therabouts). I think the extra +1 planet from the manifold nexus, combined with the extra worm you generously started me with, may have been too much of an early military advantage for a map that small.

I'm a bit disappointed though.. I had all my bases building rovers or probe teams, a bunch of ECs saved up and Impact Weapons done researching in 4 turns. We never actually even came in contact.

Do you have any thoughts on the game?
What went wrong the first ten turns?

Sure, I'd be glad to start another one. I guess I'll sign up for the Planet Cult again. They are one of the two I usually play, and I'm too chicken to play Morgan multiplayer just yet. Too weak early on.

Edit: No, I don't have any instant messaging software. Can't get it to operate correctly on this computer for some reason.. It's been buggy lately, probably have to re-format, but I'm putting that off as long as possible.
