Phamily Phun is important. I have to try and balance my fun.

Cosmic bowling? Well, it starts after 10 pm. The alley turns off all the lights and turns on the black lights. Turn on the spinning globes, swirling spotlight (think: dance club), has "tracing lights" down the ball return shoots, and they crank up the music (techno/dance). There are some lights but mostly just black lights. I'll have to snag a pic next time (if possible). It's pretty kewl though I'm a bit old to be there...all those teenage guys with their "slinky" girlfriends (about half of them "gothed out"...yes, people "goth" in Georgia... ).

I know you're planning more surprises for me. But, you might need more than the 27 ships in "Bare it All"...(sly grin).

But, seriously speaking, still touch-and-go for both of us.

Cosmic bowling does sound like it could be Phun. Escpcialy since I'm night blind.

27? in Bare it All, How do you know I don't have more?

How good are your scanners?

I have a lot of suprises though have to admit your scrapping of 75 LCs is not exactly part of my strategy. Just don't tell the High Tesselate. He thinks we are working together to keep ship inventory under control.

I think I'm gonna bust a gut...

OK, it's a deal. NO propaganda either way. Meaning, don't let the rest of my population know you have been absconding with my colonies!

I think I'm going to bust a tear duct. I didn't know you could get BC, Reg Tal, PPB V in less than 40 turns!

Well, I just got it in time. I scrambled to study ships and PPB after that...as you can see, I got to LC with PPB 2's before they had to rush off to war.

When I missed that turn, the dumb AI moved all my fighters away from the warp holes I need to guard. In the south, it just so happens "Weed Boy" came through with 17 ships right after they got back in place but were out of fuel. So, he took a few losses but made it through the hole. Talk about scrambling! These days, I keep about 6 ships down there and he sends 3 or 4 ships through every turn. Needless to say, I'm getting a well-trained fleet down there. Since he lost so many ships, he bomards me with treaty offers every 2 turns. Usually something about needing to "share the light"...

Hey Phun Phed, Be gentle please. Ok, just be gentle.

slynky:
BTW: If it is clear your plaent is about to be captured remember to scrap the facilites. If you think you won't be able to re capture it, Abandon it. Don't let it fall into my hands.
