Hmm I am not sure about that proposal as later in the game some of your choices will depend on the sequence of events as played by the human faction that has gone before: For example rushing an SP.

OTOH this is probably a wind up.

Yeah you're probably right. Humans tend to not like things that change game dynamics and can possibly disadvantage them.

This is a brilliant idea! But yeah Hercules is right this can be exploited. If I'm secretly planning to instabuild a SP, I could wait till I'm the last to play a turn to cash in all those crawlers, and then immediately play the next turn and grab the SP before any of you can do anything about it.

Personally, I would put that down to being part of the game dynamics. However, I know people like their game dynamics fixed. Anyway I think it'll take obvious enthuasim before I would invest the time to do this. I'm thinking of multiplaying in general, not specifically this game.

Oh about that immediately play the next turn. Well part of the security system would disallow you from playing the next turn immediately. You'll need to wait for at least one other person to play the turn before playing your next turn. It's just wrong having two turns back to back in many respects.

It's actually called welfare in other countries, however it's the only explanation for Engima's comment I could think of. Unless he either thinks I'm rich from some business that I started while a teenager, or that it's easy to hold a full time job while studying.

Actually I could probably manage it if I had the desire, just that I think it would be difficult and the long term benefits would outweight the long term gains.

HongHu: No welfare for immigrants.

I'm pretty sure I'd calculate when the turn would come in, then guarantee that I'm online at that time.
I'd snatch the SP, and perform a big :-P to everyone in the area.

Speaking of SPs, I call the VW!

Just called my ISP since I've also got two other emails returned and heard this message: "We are currently experiencing service interruptions in your area. Sorry for the inconvenience."

I guess this may be the reason of the email delay problem.

Bit difficult to come to agreements when you haven't met in game.

Also I'm not particularly annoyed by the turnage.

Edit:
You know the funny thing was I thought I was the one that was supposed to be the war monger. I guess I was doing a pretty lousy job so someone else had to step up.

Put an end to popups!

You could always ally with me and wait for me to pick fights with everyone. ^_^

My Frustration out of the game equates to my Warmongering in the game.
I express my feelings and beliefs freely.
I am angry at the turn delays by Franky and HongHu.
This is because 1. it is my goal to play turns and 2. I am intolerant of anything between me and my goals.

I have 3 options:
1. Stay frustrated
2. Ensure the turn isn't delayed
3. Stop being angry at delayed turns

1. is uncomfortable.
3. is totally against my personality - I'd sooner fight others than change myself for them. I'm a fighter by nature.
Why wouldn't the lack of frustration benefit myself?
Frustration is my motivator to fix problems.
If I change myself, that's a selfish way of fixing a problem. What about all the other people the problem affects?
Do we all change to suit the new circumstances, or do we fudge the circumstances to suit ourselves?
As environment-changing species with a tendency to defeat any exterior force,
I'd go the latter.

In all things, I presume my feelings and ideas are non-erroneous.
So that leaves...
2. Ensure the turn isn't delayed.
I'm not saying HongHu will always delay her turns, and I'm not saying I will conquer HongHu...
I'm just saying that the two are correlated.

she'll probably take a 3 week vacation on the turn when she is meant to destroy her last base.

Especially compared with my talkative nature in another PBEM, doesn't it?

I'll post when I get something RP or constructive to say.
This 'diplomaty' now is merely grooming other participants.

Either that, or insulting them repeatedly.
Time for more TTPP.
What are the potential topics?

1. Franky played the turn on time
2. Kody has computer problems
3. I ST Kody for living with his parents

4. I rant about HongHu's slowness
5. More ST between HongHu and myself
6. HongHu's dumbass grin
7. My quick frustration

Okay, now to browse the archives and make some TTPP!

Telephoning ISP at 12:00 midnight to complain that their service is poor.

Sorry to keep you waiting

(Yes, its a joke about those who take ages on the fourth turn. Did you really have to do any more than move a scout patrol? I didn't.)

Well, I had to:
1. move a scout patrol twice
2. reallocate a worker to a new square discovered
3. reallocate a different worker to the square the previous worker used
4. move a former to a square and begin a task
5. Rushbuild a different former for 2 E.C.
6. Rename all bases
7. Check Econ//Labs that I'm getting a tech next turn
8. Start TME to get a 'Mexican SP wave' going
9. Press END TURN
10. Send to you.

Turn is going to be delay until I get home. Got an early meeting today in the morning so I couldn't stay home to play the turn.

Enigma:
That was Rerun in that strip

I don't believe in Karama to do with electrical equipment. Only when dealing with people, as I've seen nice things I've done for people often coming back indirectly through someone else.

It's not actually warez I got cds off a friend. However, I refuse to use any program that has to check the cd all the time. This was after my first cd drive broke down because of that constant checking.

At the moment I want to finish my studies before I move out. Mainly because I have a few dreams I'm hoping to fulfill, and my parents are nice enough to let me stay until I finish my studies.
