Law&Faith - TTT

[Misotu]

Why am I not surprised? This was probably a pivotal moment in the game     I urge you to consider well, Brother Kirov. (Actually doesn't everyone* declare vendetta on you if you break the Charter? It's so long since I played and it's not what I tend to do so I'm really hazy about it ... )

Anyway, Morgan kicked off the Hunter Seeker.

* Well "everyone AI" I mean. Not me, obviously 

[Kirov]

Well, I have an idea how to avoid unnecessary loss of human life. I hope you will support me with this! If Lady Dee doesn't do anything stupid, nerve gas pods may very well remain closed.

Meanwhile, the HSA is poised for completion.

EDIT: Automatic Vendetta comes only with major atrocities, i.e. nukes and I think tectonic/fungal missiles. Nerve gas is a petty, little, frivolous atrocity and as such triggers only economic sanctions, some eco-damage and eternal hatred of the victim.

[Misotu]

Congrats on the Hunter Seeker - that was fast    The rules allow crawler upgrading with energy don't they?

[Kirov]

I'm afraid not. What happened was that I grabbed a lot of sea pods which yielded a number of instabuilt upgraded crawlers; I was in fact still reaping benefits from that with the HSA.

I am so extremely unlucky with the front news I want to punch my screen. Every turn yet another units pops up where I was poised to strike. God really wants me to use nerve gas, doesn't He?

[Misotu]

He doesn't. He really doesn't   

[Kirov]

I don't believe this. I was literally one hit point away from taking the base in question. And it's gonna have two defenders in the next turn. I am so unhappy that I heeded your word, Sister. One batch of nerve gas would have solved all my problems.

[Misotu]

Well, if I were sensible I would have taken out a transport or two as they passed since those bases will definitely be my undoing.    So really you have had tremendous good fortune in this campaign Brother. And besides, consider your Immortal Soul 

[Kirov]

We both should thank God for how peaceful we are to each other. I hope to make a good neighbour!  It'd be great to borrow some salt every now and then. Don't worry, your western flank is secure on my watch. 

[Misotu]

I have that in writing a number of times now. Not that it will help   

On a more positive note, short of a serious SNAFU, the Peacekeepers will actually complete an SP next turn  :gasps of amazement from audience:

Our second. All game. Our approach needs work.   

[Kirov]

Congratulations! The Supercollider is a powerful tool. How I would like to have one in my backyard!

[Misotu]

I thought I'd save you the trouble of building it yourself   

We are also the first faction in space.

[Kirov]

"Looking God in the eye".

[Misotu]

   Well, turns out space is mostly empty.

That's my last turn for today, we have people coming over to eat shortly.

[Kirov]

See you tomorrow, then!

[Misotu]

Hi Kirov, I think you've uploaded the 2223 turn again instead of the next turn?

I did try loading it, in case it was mis-named, but it's definitely the previous turn.
