OK, I also have a one-time request. I need to do some looking over things with this empire. I looked it over briefly Last night, but not enough to fully formulate my first turn. I think the turn is due around 8PM EST tonight...but I don't think I'll be home tonight by that time. I will do orders first thing when I do get home. It's just the first turn requires more thought than subsequent ones so I couldn't get it done Last night...so can I ask for a slight extension tonight (only) for my first turn? If you set it to ALPU, I can promise I'll get my first turn in tonight, most likely around 10-midnight EST...

Pretty please?

thanks,

Alarik

Seems reasonable to me. Heck, I'd say take an extra day and do any emailing to people you needed to...but Geo will have to make the ALPU.

Emailing? Plotting? Building a coalition against the evil forces trying to destroy me? What a great idea!

I bumped the turn 48 hours to give you a chance to make your contacts.

Ah, cool, but, well no need to do that. I just got my turn in...I may not Last too long in this game, I have realized...but we'll go down fighting!

The Trithian Empire and the Deccan Wildcards empire have come to an agreement:

Henceforth, the Wildcard empire is a Protectorate of the Trithian Empire. To attack them is to attack the Trithians.

The treaties in existance with the Wildcard empire are being reviewed so they coincide with the treaties of the Trithian Empire.

Tis a far, far better place we go to then where we might have gone. While some of our people may chafe at our new agreement with the Trithians, hsitory will show that they are shortsighted, for we have come to admire the prowess of Lord Ithis and his benevolence in allowing our people to live. Rather than fight a senseless war in which our people die needlessly, we have acknowledged that not only were the reasons for such a conflict lacking in merit (for we had no weapons of mass destruction) but the two cultures of the Trithians and Decca are not incompatiable. We look forward to a long future of prosperity, cooperation and mutual security in concert with Lord Ithis...

From another corner of the galaxy. I wonder if Psychic weapons count as weapons of mass destruction?

Here is comes...

I thought so.

You know, I was thinking about the premise of this game, and it doesn't seem that far fetched. It seems to me that one of the biggest problems humans/others will have when/if we ever start building star ships will not necessarily be the actual technology, but the systems integration problems. WE can build space stations, shuttles, and weapon platforms now, with great time and expense. The most consistent problems with the shuttles and spacebases tends to come down to systems integration, right? The biggest hurdle to building larger vessels is tying it all together so the darn things work, no? So, the whol premise of the Ankle Biter game seems almost realistic to me. We simply don't have the experience and expertise to make larger ships and bases *work* - it's not that we don't have the technology, it's that we can;t effectively make it all work together in a bigger way...

but, then again, I am just babbling and trying to avoid work...

thanks,

Alarik

I thought so.

They are treated the same as warp openers, star destroyers, etc. If one of my enemy has them, they are Weapons of Mass Destruction. If I or my ally has them, they are "Strategic Deterrants." and A-O-K.
