Re: Challenge Match
"They know where we are!" The tone of Emperor Asmala's voice betrayed his concern.
Lord Ithis threw the irratating Rubic's Cube on the floor and spoke harshly. "Ithion ON. Comm channel ON."
Asmala's 3D image appeared. "We were scouting new outPosts to colonize and encountered a ship of the Pootopian Empire. They are nearer than we calculated! We need warships to this sector immediately."
Ithis peered into the image. Silence ensued.
"Ithis, you don't seem to undertand! They have ancient mystics in their charge! They know all the start charts!"
Ithis stared blankly.
"Ithis, DO YOU COPY THIS TRANSMISSION?"
Lord Ithis paused, scratched his (deleted), and replied, "I'll contact Lord Chane. His fleets are nearby."
He terminated communications, picked a particularly annoying booger from his nose, scratched again, and turned his attention to the discarded Rubic's Cube again.

Re: Challenge Match
Communique: Sub-channel coded (voice)
Origin: Yabu System (Path Layer)
To: KaRellan Fleet Commander
"Our orders to lay mines in the designated sectors of the Yabu system are keyed and locked. Travel progressing as planned. Wait! Medium proximity scan showing debris in our path. No! Wait! I'm scan-closing now...
NO! It can't be! Commander, it isn't debris at all. It appears to be fast-moving figh......"
EOT
Lord Ithis smashed his Rubic's cube onto the op-desk. Apparently, idiots were in the wrong command positions. THIS, he would rectify!

Re: Challenge Match
I'm going to try to load the game on W2K in the Alabama office I'm working in and see if it will run so I can do my turn from here.

Re: Challenge Match
Slynky, I appreciate the updates  Sounds like its turning out to be a good game.
Just curious, what turn/year is it? Of course, I'd like to know more, but I can't think of much else to ask that wouldn't give secrets away  Guess I'll just have to wait for the post-game. |

Re: Challenge Match
"Here is your new Rubic's Cube, your Worthiness." Morsel, the timid Imperial Shopper bowed extra low. Word had pierced the empire that the Black Hole Alliance had been suffering setbacks in its war against the Olden Ones. He proffered the cube gingerly.
Ithis whirled around at the intrusion.
"Drop it where you stand!" He commanded.
Morsel did so and slynked out of the room.
Lord Ithis allowed his attention to be diverted from the grav-mon with the latest expansion reports. Calmly, he strode toward the venomous cube and stared at it. Then, overcome with a nanosecond of anger, stomped the square into little bits.
Ithis paused for a moment to try and gather his wits. To control his anger. Reached down with his hand and scratched his deleted. For some strange reason, scratching always seemed to help.
It was then, immediately following the Imperial Scratching that he saw. He dropped to his knees before the scattered bits of the Rubic's cube and saw the galaxy. Different colors. Distances. He had an epiphony!
Springing to his feet, Lord Ithis screamed to Ithion, the war 'puter, "Get me my commanders onlne! I now know what must be done!"

Re: Challenge Match
Olden Ones -vs- Black Hole Alliance 2403.0
It's been three years and time for a game update. The three players in the Black Hole Alliance are in 4th 5th and 6th place. That means the three players in the Olden Ones...well, you can do the math... .
(in case anyone is interested)
