Klingons! So unreliable.
No, that would be the Romulans.  (Unless you're a TOS fan, in which case, yes you'd be correct.)  :P

Just a general heads-up to my fellow PBEM players: 

I'm about to head to bed, after which I will be away from my computer til Monday night (going to La Crosse again), so I won't be able to play any of my turns til then.  Apologies for forgetting to mention this earlier!  :-[

Won't matter, I will still be at 4 colonies when you get back.
What precisely is your strategic situation, anyway?  Hemmed in by aggressive/warlike neighbors, or just hemmed in but otherwise left alone?

Whoo hoo!  I played my first turn and using the ingame send feature I think my turn has been sent to the next player.  Please let me know if you received it or not.
Cool!  I'll make sure to check when I get back.

Anyone purchase from them before? Are they reliable? I worry about security when buying from someone I've never heard of.

Agreed, that's why I only buy from Steam or Gamersgate.  I'd be interested as well though if anyone has bought from them.

There is nothing but TOS.

Martok,

For the moment left alone, I'm not worth bothering with.   ;D

Okay, I'm back! 


Looks like all my PBEM's (whether I'm a host or participant) are moving along again.  I received the first turn in Shelldrake's 3-way coop campaign with W8taminute and myself; in addition, spelk and I appear to have finally gotten around whatever glitch was preventing me from receiving turns.  (My game with Epee and my other game with Shelldrake continue as normal.)  Woo!

Heh.  Fair enough.  :)  I'm gonna see what I can do about starting to move towards the middle where you're at (which will require getting the Walden out of my way), but it's still going to be a while!

FWIW, at least one person over at TotalWar.Org (where I also mentioned the sale) has said they purchased & downloaded Armada Gold without any problems.

Hey spelk, did we lose our game again?  I just realized I haven't received a turn from you in a while now (almost 2 weeks, I think?).

No the games ok, I've been a bit distracted. I've churned through the latest turn, turn 18 I think. I've had a bit of difficulty getting to grips with what I was actually trying to do. We seem to be hemmed in a bit, not sure I'm up to starting any wars to aid expansion, but soon I think thats going to have to happen.

I'd be up for starting another game!  Anyone else?

Am finally in consolidation mode.  Need to build up my colonies so that I can then take out the Walden.  I always feel a little bad declaring war on those chaps, but they're in my way...  ;)

Ah, sorry man.  Now I kinda feel like an ass; I didn't mean to nag or push you!  I just was worried that we were having issues again. 


Yeah, I think I'm going to have attack the Xpectrada in the near future.  That is, if I'm going to have any chance of making some headway!

Hey no worries man, don't feel bad - it's me who was slacking on the turn front :)

Ok, I'll gear up for war against the Xpectrada - currently worried about all the yellow planets to the south of my homeworld. We'll do it together and hopefully one of us will survive.

Hey Shelldrake, I've been getting "Unable to create game" error messages the last few days, where the game refuses to load and I can't play my turn(s).  You having any problems on your end?  (This is in our original 2-player campaign.)

Sounds like a plan. 

I'd love to launch an "alpha strike" on their homeworld (it's within my range!).  However, even together, I don't think we'd be able to put together a powerful enough fleet for the task, so we'll have to settle for picking off their colonies for now.
