PBW "newbie game"

Uh? I just played a turn of Newbie II and did not notice anything out of the ordinary??
Hmm will now immediately reload that turn and see if I can figure it out.

It may take a turn or two for the effects to be felt..

Uhm, you're not talking about the destruction of the Eee, are you Phoenix?
Cause I don't think that's a big event, although I may use it as an excuse to exact revenge on their behalf

Hmm..say, if you opened a wormhole or something, wouldn't I see it immediately because I am ancient race? Do other players get notified in-game if someone opens a wormhole?

No, it wasn't about the Eee.

You only get told if I open a wormhole if you can see it (i.e. are in the same system). Ancient Race only functions to give you the STARTING game map, I think.

Revenge for the Eee? Not happening.

Oooh, you nasty fellow. I *do* know about the wormhole you just opened into the Wurtuy system. But maybe that's just by accident?
The Irrh-nur invited me (just in time I guess) to send a scout ship through that system, and though my ships is now (beginning of turn 89) in another system, it came from Wurtuy. So I guess that counts for being there to see the wormhole appear..

But I do recall a thread somewhere where people said that if someone tries to separate himself from the galaxy by closing all wormholes, you'd see it if you were ancient race.
Hmm...we newbies will figure it out as we go along I guess.

You think that's it? You ain't seen nothin yet.
