Could you loan me a few dreadnoughts?

I promise to return them to you.

Tesco just lost 16 ships in my minefield, so no progress on that front.

Hey guys

Is round 1 of game 1 not over?

Like, I mean, a player has missed 5 consecutive turns.

Yet, I recieved notification of a new turn.

The first round of game 1 is over!

Game 1, Round 1 officially started on August 22nd for game empires.

The first turn of Round 1 started on August 28th.

This is going to be a long game when one considers:
1) 8 more rounds before Game1 and Game2 join up
2) 19 more rounds to discover the winner.

Let’s see how long:
------------------------------------
(Tbontob pulls out an abacus and madly starts pushing beads back and forth until he suddenly realizes he does not know how to use an abacus!

He considers taking a course “Using the abacus 101” at the local university but finds it will take a year to complete.

He sadly contemplates the smoking ruin of his hand held calculator which had been used to determine “the nature of the quark in its relation to a black hole” and for which he is certain he will win the Nobel Prize.

He starts to panic when he realizes that he will actually have to use some brain cells to calculate the amount of time it will take to complete the game.)
----------------------------------------
Figuring 27 more rounds at approximately one and a third months per round, it will take us about three years (October, 2005) to complete the game.

And this is probably an optimistic estimate. In both Games1 and Game2, a player dropped out to end it!

Chances are that it may take as long as 2006 and even beyond.
