First PBEM - TTT

[Vishniac]

I sent him a message.
Sometimes, after a long time without turns, it's hard to find motivation to resume.

To make it easier, I write my strategy and short-term objectives in a Word document. It helps remembering what to do with what.

[Kirov]

Whatever you say, my liege. I just wanted to make sure that this has nothing to do with some behind-the-scenes negotiations on the issue of the Pact vote. Our support for your resolutions must be unanimous, unconditional and enthusiastic, and any dissent will be quenched in laughing gas, which I coincidentally have in abundance.

Guys, do you read Lord Vishniac's instruction? You will open your Word right now and put all your brilliant thoughts down there. This will make your life much easier. And if any of you jokers tells me he has a Mac, I swear he'll be doing push-ups until the thermal death of the Universe.

Faster! Chop chop! Hail Vishniac!

[Kurvivor]

The pause is somewhat dragging way too long

[Kirov]

've just e-mailed him.

[Kirov]

BinTravkin? I'm afraid we'll have to start discussing a replacement soon. Can you let us know what's up in your world?

[Kirov]

It looks like the last time bin Travkin posted in this topic was 24 August. Look guys, I'm afraid he's not around and I'm the last one to speculate about his fate, trust me, Lord-Governor Vishniac. Maybe you owned him something, maybe not. Maybe he crossed you or went too far with his demands - I don't know and I don't care. A lot of people disappear in the wake of planetary elections, we can easily write it off as a coincidence. So I think we should wait until Monday and look for replacement then. Would that be ok with you, my dear Planetary Council members?

[Kurvivor]

Let's search for replacement, then
Despite how poorly this game is going for me, our company policy is to never declare bankrupcy! that is, i want to see this game through

[Vishniac]

Ok for me!

[Kurvivor]

And another half a month gone

[Kirov]

I'm trying to find 10 spare minutes, but I started full-time studies this October and it's not gonna be easy for me. You know, you can set up a replacement thread yourself. I can try to do that by Monday.

[Kirov]

Done.

Sorry for relying on you so shamelessly

[Kirov]

Don't worry about it, we've got a bigger problem now.

I really want to complete this game, however this may not be that easy. We can wait for a while and then maybe ask Mart to do something about it. Something meaning either pulling the plug on the Drones (which puts me at some hard-to-assess advantage) or manage them for some time (which can put me at easier-to-assess disadvantage if Mart watched my turns).

I'm happy with neither. Do you have any friend who could fill in? Half-bottoming turns is still better than no progress at all.

[Kurvivor]

I will ask around, though i cannot guarantee results

[Brecon]

To Morgan and co.

Would the Pirates be interested in ending hostilities if the Drones dropped any claims on conquered alien lands?  Perhaps if the Drones also agreed to a 10 year ban on producing armed naval units?
