Maeldun's First Stand

[Misotu]

That's right. It's a pleasant 20-minute walk to the beach from here so we make the most of it when it's sunny!

[Maeldun]

Weather's unnaturally warm around here too last couple of days. Despite this I've however manged to catch a cold.

[Misotu]

Well we have storms and winds and rain around here. I send you a swift recovery   

[Maeldun]

Thanks, see you later tomorrow most likely.

[Misotu]

Hope you're feeling better. Have to say that this is the one PBEM that I don't dread opening at the moment!

[Maeldun]

It's not to early for things to go downhill here too, you know - just look at the previous game for me, lol.

[Misotu]

Always with the negative waves, Moriarty Maeldun, always with the negative waves. 

[Maeldun]

At last, got a fungal bloom.

[Misotu]

Please tell me it's not right outside your HQ   

In other news ... we appear to be in a mindworm-free zone.

[Misotu]

Hi Maeldun, just to say that the links are down site-wide after a storm last night here so we're without internet temporarily ... am sending this from a coffee bar downtown. Apologies for any delay - they usually get problems sorted reasonably quickly.

[Maeldun]

Hey sorry to hear that. No problem for me however - things have been pretty busy for me so I've had less time to play the last few days.

Maybe when the internet is restored we could find a few hours of more intense gameplay.

In the meantime - Morgan has already started the Human Genome Project and it seems I'll soon contact the University - one of their Unity scout choppers (!) got into a fight with a mindworm near a territory I've previously discovered. Things are starting to take off.

[Misotu]

Well, it's back up butso busy with people trying to catch up that it's taking forever     Hopefully this will work ... *

* It didn't. I wrote that around 7.30pm yesterday ...

[Maeldun]

Sorry to hear about that.

The thing about being in Romania is that we apparently have the best average internet connection speed in Europe and something like top 5 worldwide (in terms of performance and reliability). Almost everything else is [poop] but at least we have the internet to keep our minds off that.

[Misotu]

I am envious    To be fair, I think the Portuguese do all right on the league tables generally. But the system just here at this site is *terrible*. So terrible, in fact, that they can't charge for it. Free is good of course - but I would so much rather pay for something that actually works!

[Maeldun]

Hey at least it's not crap AND you're paying for it.
