Actually the save file you sent me most recently was 94 KB!

Mongoose · January 23, 2003, 19:34

done

Hendrik · January 23, 2003, 23:13

I had no problems whatsoever with the save Mongoose sent me.

Turn sent to Mongoose

I don't understand what you two did... did Mongoose simply forward Hobbes' turn to me?

Mongoose · January 24, 2003, 11:39

2169 sent to Paul

Not precisely a forward...I detached the file Hobbes sent and then sent it to you at both your addys.

How on earth does Lal have -27 in energy reserves?

Paul · January 24, 2003, 12:23

2169 to Hobbes

H0bbes · January 26, 2003, 03:24

2170 to HenWen.

Hendrik · January 26, 2003, 14:36

turn sent to Mongoose

As far as Lal's energy reserves... I sold him several techs last turn in order to get some cash.

Mongoose · January 26, 2003, 15:05

2170 sent to Paul

Pretty cheap play to sell for more than he has.

Hendrik · January 26, 2003, 15:20

I didn't have him infiltrated, so I didn't know how much he had!

The only rule about AI diplomacy that I am aware of us no base trading.

Oh and I wasn't able to get the turn via my university email account, but hotmail worked.

Hobbes in the future it isn't necessary to send the turn to my university account, but it would be nice of you to send a message to the uni account saying that you sent the turn to my hotmail account... I check the uni account much more frequently.

Paul · January 26, 2003, 15:43

2170 to Hobbes

H0bbes · January 26, 2003, 17:52

Turn sent to Mongoose

Mongoose · January 26, 2003, 18:36

Nothing yet received. Sure you sent it to me?

Hendrik · January 26, 2003, 19:28

I mis-spelled your name long ago, so the mis-spelled name is on the list of addresses I have. I occaisionally mis-click.

Turn sent again.

H0bbes · January 26, 2003, 20:46

Just curious: why not fix your address book?

Mongoose · January 26, 2003, 21:07

2171 sent to Paul.

H0bbes · January 27, 2003, 02:11

The Believers have landed. AAArrrggghhh!!!!!

Turned to Henwen.

Hendrik · January 27, 2003, 12:11

2172 to Hobbes

H0bbes · January 27, 2003, 17:40

2173 to Mr Hostility.

Mongoose · January 27, 2003, 19:17

Mr. Hostility? My, my!

Hendrik · January 27, 2003, 19:31

Turn sent to Mongoose.

Hobbes... hobbes... hobbes... why won't you give peace a chance? I infiltrated you because you left me no option, you broke pact for no reason, you send a probe foil at me, and you are researching impact weapons. Since everyone here has you infiltrated they can see that your "pacifistic" attitude is a sham, what with you building recon rovers at almost every base.
Our pact brought in lots of commerce income, now we are wasting money on weapons of war. You haven't even finished settling your own continent

There are several things that I have done that apparently piss you off, I had a probe near your territory, and I built a base near your territory. This is what you call hostile acts?

That said, forgive and forget is my motto. I am still willing to resume pact with you, a pact is the only way for both of us to remain peaceful, so we know what the other is doing.

Mongoose · January 27, 2003, 19:59

2173 sent to Paul.

In Hobbes' defense - Miriam did empty one of his bases this year...probably with the impact weapons she brags about. AND, she already has Plasma armor. A generous contingent of recon rovers is only prudent for Hobbes to maintain the integrity of his holdings.

Hendrik · January 27, 2003, 20:21

I don't hold any grudges against hobbes, all that I am saying is that I had no option but to infiltrate. Someone doesn't break pact and send a probe against you because they want peace...

My only advantage over hobbes right now, infiltration, will be erased if we pact together again.

We both had our reasons for our bellicose actions, I am sure hobbes might have interpreted my actions as hostile, and I had my reasons to suspect him as well.

Grudges don't gain anyone anything, and a war at this stage in the game will leave nothing but scorched earth.

My pactmates can verify that I am scarcely preparing for an invasion.

H0bbes · January 27, 2003, 22:01

Clarification. You had a probe IN my territory which you refused to move, it became near my territory when you moved the borders, encroaching on my small amount of territory. You have been hostile & unhelpful from day one, our pacting gained me nothing. Since when does a pactmate even want to infiltrate their partner?

My probe foil? Well you infiltrated me, its hardly a hostile act if I aim a probe at you. Or can't you take what you dish out?

I never proclaimed to be a pacifist, I am playing Sparta. I don't particularly want war on two fronts but you leave me with little options.

Let the records show that the agressive and hostile Gaians started this conflict.

Paul · January 28, 2003, 01:34

2173 to Hobbes

H0bbes · January 28, 2003, 17:53

2174 to Hendrik the Warmonger.

The Believers have been repulsed, leaving my forces free to defend the sovereign territory of Sparta from our other warmongering neighbours.

Mongoose · January 28, 2003, 18:17

Curious use of the plural there.
