X-DAP-04 TeamBoldDutch vs. Ancients for 1945

[dutchmand]

Need intercept orders in Moscow.

[boldfresh]

Ground control to major Tom
Ground control to major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
(Ten) Ground control (Nine) to major Tom (Eight)
(Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), engines on (Four)
(Three, two) Check ignition (One) and may gods (Blastoff) love be with you

This is ground control to major Tom, you’ve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is major Tom to ground control, I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
Here am I sitting in a tin can far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do

Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles, I’m feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Ground control to major Tom, your circuits dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you…
Here am I sitting in my tin can far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do

I have reposted the combat move file in case the other one was corrupted.  I have been having some problems with my computer.

intercept orders over Moscow are kindly requested.

[boldfresh]

Cmon guys…. intercept orders?

[boldfresh]

…?

[boldfresh]

:?

[lexgreat]

bombers, stand by…you need to wait for Russias players.

[boldfresh]

trajan was on several times last night, hours after i posted the move.  that is what i do not understand.

[lexgreat]

But Trajan is in communication with us, and I repeat, I am not US based. I read their stuff when I wake up, and they mine when they get home from work.

Its not that we take weeks to decide on things.

[boldfresh]

ok so you actually need to put a lot of thought into the intercept choice.  that’s fine.  standing by.

[lexgreat]

a game with you definitly feels more stressful. 9 posts because intercept orders are not given within 17 hours (but surely within 24). Even if the decision seems straightforward for you.

I just wonder why, you are surely everyones favorite, anyway.

I love comments like this.  Just take your time you have been by far the slowest team we have played.  Its one thing to take a few days to coordinate each round but another entirely to take 24+ hours to make a decision that is so small as whether or not to send up 2 interceptors.  Thats taking things a bit far I should think but whatever.  We will continue to twiddle our thumbs.

And yes I am a favorite of many to play because I make moves promptly - its nice to play a coherent game.  :-)

[Trajan01]

No intercept.

SheMoo, we’ll deal with your manure soon enough and put you in your place, on the expired dairy shelf with all the rotting curds and whey where you belong.
