Hello world!

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Mon Jul 3 19:24:20 2017
Tough crowd... or just antipathy. Hard to tell.

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Tue Jul 4 16:29:46 2017
It's too early in the day for some of us.

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Tue Jul 4 19:29:47 2017
I get that.. it was just a whole day had passed and not even a wishker of a response.

gruff...

You want attention ?
Join the army!

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Wed Jul 5 03:45:16 2017
At least I responded...why is the other guy quiet? What's his excuse?

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Wed Jul 5 09:00:37 2017
shy

> Announcement from 6, (#6) dated Wed Jul 5 11:43:09 2017
Shy we are, but at least not jabbing like a couple of school girls.

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Wed Jul 5 14:53:08 2017
Looks like someone is walking around with a chip on their shoulder.

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Wed Jul 5 15:38:20 2017
Hate to break this to you 6, but....

SCHOOL's OUT buddy!



> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Wed Jul 5 17:16:15 2017
Maybe 6 has special needs that keep him in school year-round ...

> Announcement from visitor, (#9) dated Thu Jul 6 10:19:17 2017
SPLASH!



> Announcement from visitor, (#9) dated Thu Jul 6 10:20:54 2017

The first couple of ships are out!

yeah yeah .. rub it in ...

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Thu Jul 6 18:41:15 2017
Oye 6...hope your captains get drunk and
run around in circles :)


> Announcement from 6, (#6) dated Thu Jul 6 22:26:06 2017
They will definitely get drunk.

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Fri Jul 7 07:23:45 2017
Woohoo!!


There's actually land out there!!
With my crew, I would've expected them
to find the Bermuda triangle first!

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Fri Jul 7 17:03:32 2017
Not getting the math here ... if you guys have 4 ships and are cruising to find land.. and there rae natives
typically 5 per land .... you have 150 mil. that works out to 120 net avail (assuming you leave some training sergeant's
behind, then that means you are averaging out to 30 mil per frig ... with 20% chance of assault
and my typically bad luck .. that's a lot of casualties for a single piece of (mostly barren) land ...

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Fri Jul 7 17:04:46 2017
correction: not 20% chance of assault - but assault with 20% of avail

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Fri Jul 7 17:09:45 2017
or is that valid only for the shotgun style and this is plain vanilla... hmmm

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Fri Jul 7 17:27:44 2017
ignore that.. resolved it by myself.

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Sat Jul 8 01:15:20 2017

Took me a little bit to figure out what you were
doing with the math, but eventually figured it out.

This game has vanilla code. The shotgun style was the previous game.

If you think the chances with 4 ships are slim....
6 has 6 ships! He's in over-drive!

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 03:03:04 2017
woo-hoo! wow.. 6 ships means 2 e-centers... damn! and he would need to do another 4-6 this turn. Damn! he better start digging ...

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 03:05:53 2017
I know he can manage 6 ships with 1 e-center... just said it for effect. psych!

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 03:09:52 2017
since 6 is borg-ish (you know the "we" thing he's got going on)... I sure hope none of his 6 are the fb variety
very few use cases for them being useful ...

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 03:11:40 2017
along the same lines.. that's what they should do.. reduce the tech rate.. so it becomes a fb-race
and then... we can have a small little bird that drops messages between them..
and you know what we'll call that...
yup.
twitter.
:)

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 03:15:04 2017
is 6 always grouchy or was he just having a bad-hair day?

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Sat Jul 8 03:22:59 2017
6 is conserving his BTUs...

you know for something really important!
like killing...

killing fish that is!

I would tend to agree, he's got A big
fleet but his mil strength tends to
suggest he's got a bunch of either
well equipped FBs or poorly armed FRGs

either case not good...UNLESS
if you are thinking the more FBs you have
the more area you'll cover and
the more posts you'll make about where
you've been and what you've seen...

Water, fish, water
Water, fish, water

Geronimo! I see lots of fish
Water, fish, fish, water

Water, fish, water






> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 03:30:56 2017
so.. the thing with fb's is that they are slow and at the current stage.. do need to keep your civs working for you
rather than getting a sun-tan. imo
but..if there is a piece of land within a stone's throw.. the case does make for itself.

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 03:31:52 2017


> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 03:35:44 2017
hey 6, I'll sell you some BTU's .. got a great deal for ya!

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Sat Jul 8 04:33:50 2017

FBs pretty useful in another scenario....when food is enabled.

6: 10 BTUs absolutely free*, guaranteed, if you make a post in the next 10 min!






*T&C apply: post at least 140 chars long

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 05:46:47 2017
true ... but who play for food now-a-days?

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 05:48:28 2017
slave ships are pretty much live fb - but more of a white elephant

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 05:48:43 2017
er.. *like

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 05:52:39 2017
so who's drunk on a friday evening?

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Sat Jul 8 05:54:55 2017

6 probably...can't even see the keyboard
straight to type, hence nothing from him

He lost the 10 BTU offer also (sigh)

No worries fellow navigators, my ships are of

funny.. that's exactly what my last fb captain said about his ship ...
how's the avail situation?

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sat Jul 8 15:24:26 2017
bah ... tried to make a contribution - but it kept routing the funds back to me.

you try that line on all your fishermen-folk?

> Announcement from visitor, (#9) dated Sun Jul 9 05:10:23 2017
Welcome 1!

Three updates late...enjoy!


> Announcement from 1, (#1) dated Sun Jul 9 12:41:43 2017

:ong 4th of July.
I could call myself fodder but that name has already been used

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Sun Jul 9 14:49:40 2017
Looks like someone really enjoyed their 4th of July!

Cheers!

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Sun Jul 9 20:10:27 2017
So quiet now.

> Announcement from 1, (#1) dated Sun Jul 9 22:34:20 2017

It is quite different in Minnesota now that you can buy beer on Sunday.
Takes the presssure off whe deciding how much to buy on Friday night.

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sun Jul 9 22:41:23 2017
Its good to get someone who is more talkative around. 6 is a big grouch (who probably has a something stuck where
the sun don't shine). Sorak was getting sore just trying to make small talk. I'm not much of a talker,
but do think some chatter adds more interest to the game.

also, here we don't have any such constraints - and I don't drink beer (gasp!)

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Sun Jul 9 23:03:58 2017
DOH! and Double DOH!

> Announcement from 6, (#6) dated Mon Jul 10 00:03:31 2017
blah ... blah ... blah

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Mon Jul 10 01:24:46 2017
6 - don't forget to create 2 more ships before the update... cuz we'll really by surprised by such a move...
no. really.
shock
and
awe
...er .awwwwwww

basic rule of thumb is to get 22-25 ships by tech 20 ...

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Mon Jul 10 05:10:25 2017
20 - 25 ships by tech 20...that ain't gonna happen for me..that's for sure

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Mon Jul 10 05:46:40 2017
dude ... manage your avail ...

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Mon Jul 10 05:51:13 2017
Managing avail is not the issue...need more harbors :)


> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Tue Jul 11 06:00:13 2017
all quiet on the front ....

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Tue Jul 11 06:02:03 2017
Meow!

> Announcement from 1, (#1) dated Tue Jul 11 14:11:09 2017

At least with you younger guys, no one is takling about sheep.

> Announcement from 1, (#1) dated Wed Jul 12 14:44:57 2017

Hey

I may be the runt of the litter.
But even thoes who are soon to be eaten, like to be recognized.
So far Sorak is the only one to make contact with me. IT was a rather short "how you doing" but at least
he showed a litte intrest.

Perhaps the problem is you all have too many sectors to manage and don't have time.
While I, on ther otherhand, have so few civs and ships that after five or six min
Im done for the upadate.


Just to let you know

Things are going well.

over and out

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Wed Jul 12 15:04:27 2017
Yo 1. Whattup?

I am just busy trying to figure out how not to go broke. Other than that we are all pretty much fodder, cept 6
who walks around with a chip on his shoulder

> Announcement from Cowl, (#4) dated Wed Jul 12 15:10:24 2017
An easy way to instant recognition (and fame) is to share details to your capitol.

Absolute landmarks via anno. You can tele me the releative ones ;)

See you soon!

> Announcement from 6, (#6) dated Wed Jul 12 16:29:53 2017
Welcome to the game #1...no chip on my
shoulder.

Hopefully my ships will find you soon. The
Captains when, not drunk, would love to come
on board your ships.


> Announcement from 1, (#1) dated Wed Jul 12 16:33:48 2017

Now Thats more like it

Thanks guys

see you soon.

Ugh...time for my medication!

And as Cowl had so brazenly struck first at the peaceful state of Sorak, without
in so much as a warning, in an pre-dawn attack, the naval forces have secured an
island that was being jointly shared with Cowl.

Press Release:

Based on the earlier attacks by Cowl, there were heightened security levels in the seas
near Cowl (we refer to as Cowland). We feared that our time on this island
was limited and an attack from Cowl was immiinent. Instead of backing away, we thought
of our fallen brothers and their memory gave us the strength to engage, fight and
emerge victorious. If Cowl wants a fight, we will not back away.

The naval commander only had this to say: "They drew first blood! Not me! They drew first blood!"



> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Wed Jul 19 04:43:44 2017



What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

The hunter is becoming the hunted!




Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight
(I love cheap thrills)!

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Thu Jul 20 15:30:52 2017

Out to prove a point, Cowl showcased his aerial superiority over Sorak today.
His dreaded bombers wrecked havoc across multiple sectors and burnt
Sorak fortresses to the ground. This was followed by extensive shelling
resulting in many civilian casualties.

To counteract the arial disadvantage, the naval team felt it was up to them
to step up. Holding a slight maritime advantage, the fleet scoured the seas
for Cowl ships. It found many Cowl subs in its waters and quickly sent them
to the depths of the ocean.

The armed forces are now putting the finishing touches on their planes so
that unwanted planes will not find it so easy to enter Sorak space.


> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Fri Jul 21 14:13:09 2017

Sorak Airforce took off today amid wild cheers, hoopla and great expectations!

Once again, as expected, the deadly Cowl deathbirds violated Sorak airspace.
However, unlike yestereay, the Sorak Airforce was ready. They flew
at the incoming wave. Cowl pilots known for the deftness, were able to
drop off a couple of bombs, but Sorak airforce didn't stop. Sorak claimed the
first aerial warfare casualty when it shot down a Cowl bomber!

Bouyed by the sharpshooting of the defence, the Sorak bombers took to the skies!
They entered Cowland with surprisingly no resistance and were able to easily
incapcitate the Cowl fortress and radar station.

This provided a shot in the arm to the naval team which then proceeded
to exterminate Cowl from an outlier island that Cowl had taken from Sorak sometime
back. Sorak had expected the island to fall as it was one of the outermost
islands but while it was missed, it was not forgotten. Operation InTheEnd
(in reference to LP) went smoothly and the island is back under Sorak control.

The next step would be to remove Cowl's footprint from another adjacent outlier island.


> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Sun Jul 23 21:25:54 2017
Oh my!

What a capitulation by Cowl!
Looks like he ran with his tail between his legs!
He just couldn't handle the truth!

Kicked him off all my lands and took some of his too!


Yeeeehaw!

> Announcement from 6, (#6) dated Tue Jul 25 00:02:22 2017
I will have to leave the game. Real life of course.
Too much time required and these updates are at 2am
for me..... US EST

My suggestions that could get more players involved:
Treat more like a regular long term game, i.e.

bigger start islands
fewer expansion islands
rotating update schedule, like every 30 hours or every 36 hours

Sorak, you area good player, would love to play against you
in a setup like I suggest.



> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Tue Jul 25 16:19:55 2017
6...thanks for joining and having a bit of fun

See you around!


In other news, Cowland is all but gone now.
Cowl started strong, moving into the lead in edu and tech but
steadily let the tech lead slip and once I took him over, there
was no looking back as far as Cowl and I were concerned.

Even if 6 had not attacked him, I don't think Cowl would've
survived a one-on-one battle with Sorak!

Muahahahaha!
Muahahahaha!

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Tue Jul 25 16:21:06 2017

6 sacked Cowl's capital!

Kudos to 6!!


I got his bank and his warehouse :-)

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Tue Jul 25 16:23:42 2017
Spot check: Cowl had 1000-odd bars in his bank
I'm like 500 bars ahead of him at the same stage!

Muahahaha
Muahahaha

> Announcement from 6, (#6) dated Wed Jul 26 11:09:29 2017
#6 bars = 1988

> Announcement from Sorak, (#2) dated Wed Jul 26 14:27:15 2017
Umm 6, you were at 1988 bars when I took Cowl's bank ?
If so, fantastic!

Excluding Cowl's bank, I'm currently at 2043 bars

> Announcement from 1, (#1) dated Wed Jul 26 16:14:57 2017

You really kow how to hurt a guy. I have only 684 bars.

> Announcement from 6, (#6) dated Fri Jul 28 19:55:42 2017
Figured I would capture that last Cowl sector so
Sorak has no reason to worry about his comeback.

> Announcement from 1, (#1) dated Tue Aug 15 14:20:53 2017
Sorak is the winner of this game.
