Now Is The Future!

Today at the UN, a massive rally was held supporting the 'No Nukes' policy of the world leaders. The historic vote was held on the floor and the results are just now coming through ...

 

[Tim Ford]

Watch out for England! Nuke Lovers!

1922 to DogBoy from the only civ honest enough to admit nukes are cool.
You people are all in denial!

 

[ruff_hi]

there must be something wrong - a 1 day turn around in the game.

 

[1889]

1924 to DogBoy.

 

[Tim Ford]

Game played and sent! Will be out of town for the next three days. Playing could be come a little unreliable. Will be back in action on Saturday.

 

[1889]

1926 to DogBoy.

 

[Tim Ford]

I am back! And the turn is sent!

also

What?!?!? No one likes mandated environmentalism?

 

[1889]

1928 to DogBoy.

 

[jbieksha]

Nope. Environmentalism is too expensive with islands. I didn't know frenchment were so into the trees and jungles.

1930 on its way to TimFord.

3 Space Ship Parts have been built by 1 Civ this turn. Can you guess who?

I'd bet your wrong.

 

[ruff_hi]

Gee thx Joe - trying to slip those 3 parts past everyone and you go and blab about it on the forum. Yes, it was me ... India 2.

 

[Tim Ford]

I would have noticed, I suspected you were going for the space victory long before you built the elevator. I assume you have been completing the parts and saving them up in the que. If that is the case how many turns before you win ruff?

 

[ruff_hi]

Do you expect me to answer that? I would have thought that you would have a 'no space victory allowed' navy / army camped on my doorstep if you thought I was going for the space victory.

 

[Tim Ford]

No. Of course I didn't expect you to answer that.

also

I didn't think I had the political capital to keep a fleet outside your boarders and have it be accepted by the community.

and

I'm a little disappointed you didn't have the whole thing rigged to launch all at once in a spectacular show of rockets.

All in all, if you can launch all the pieces. That will be a superbly played victory.

 

[ruff_hi]

I'm a little disappointed you didn't have the whole thing rigged to launch all at once in a spectacular show of rockets.

That would be my preference too but I don't have the required number of cities to put all 13 parts (5 casings, 3 thrusters, docking, cockpit, statis chamber, life support and engine) into orbit at the same time. I really only have 4 cities that can put together enough hammers to make it worth while.

 

[Tim Ford]

That is true, but I like to think you had your lesser cities plugging away at those casings for 40 turns just for the spectacular send off. It's the romantic in me.

 

[1889]

1930 to DogBoy.

In other news, English immigrants are caught trying to sneak aboard the Stasis Module in hopes of stealing victory from India and Dear Leader Ruff.

 

[ruff_hi]

Played my turn and sent it on. I wonder what state my nation will be in when I see it next. There are at least 13 French / American stealth bombers within striking distance of my cities that I can see - some of them in cities owned by leaders that I thought were friendly to me (Joe / 1889!). I also notice a destroyer that probably just dropped off a spy not to mention the other spies that are probably holidaying in sunny India.

 

[Tim Ford]

It's nice to be noticed!

Can destroyers carry spies? I thought only transports and submarines.

 

[ruff_hi]

good point - there is an American destroyer near by carrying an explorer but that ship was probably upgraded from a caravel.
