Aw, my guy retired.

Traitorous little shite.
Well, he was my evil brother. I guess that's kinda expected of him eh?

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

That happened once before, actually.  We just couldn't get the poor sod back to Earth...

He may still be alive.  Perhaps aliens took him back to their homeworld.   :P

You wish. He probably burnt up in the atmosphere. Roasted Elevenses all over Asia.

A) Woo! I'm awesome!
B) Woo! I'm going to the moon (hopefully)
C) This is soviet russia. The space program retired them!
D) In all seriousness, though. There are no traitors here. There are only those who choose to serve the motherland in new and exciting ways. Like the magnificent gulag!

If it moves, it wants to kill you. It may not try to, but it wants to.

Well, several episodes of five more minutes later and now it's too late to get any sleep at all tonight.  But hey, at least I completed a EOR landing.  And then I went and learned what a EOR was and realized a LOR would have been so much easier...

In retrospect, going for the mini shuttle was a big waste of time.  It would have been much more economical to either go for the Apollo capsule or stick with the Gemini and shell out for the Cricket.  I went with the mini shuttle because, coolness aside, I figured that I would be launching it more then once.  But nope, first time I launched the thing it was game over.  At least I didn't try for the Jupiter.  That looks like a crazy high hurdle.  But barebones it would be possible to win the game with nothing more then:

Atlas rocket
Gemeni capsule
Booster A
Strap on rockets
Cricket Module
Docking module

Which is enough to get you to a lunar orbit rendezvous under the basic model.

Posting A to follow and B to remind myself to download this and play it again. A friends' dad brought it back from a trip to the US, I loved this as a kid. Hotseat multiplayer was fun :)

Agreed Mainiac, I did state the option as 'For Armok', hinting that it wasnt a particularily wise idea :D Still, If we are really lucky, we might make it!

Bah we were so close, all we needed was a bigger rocket :(

...and this brings to an abrubt close our American/Cosmonaut journey to the stars. The Americans suceeded and the Soviets failed.

Oh and Overlordski/Churev won the Cosmonaut prestige battle easily.

Theres not much concensus on what I should do next. hmm. If things dont change, it looks like I will be doing capitalism 1. I've played 2 however 1 is superior in many ways, but I havent got the hang of it yet. It would make a reasonable but probably short LP.

I'd like to state my personal favorite would be Dominions 3, it would make a nice LP!

Well, if you do a LP of Capitalism 1, you can show us exactly why it is superior to Capitalism 2.  Plus, I could never understand how to play it, so you'd be helping promote interest!

That said, I didn't vote for Capitalism 1.

I also didn't vote for Dominions 3.  But, lots of people have expressed interest in starting a LP in Dominions 3, however nobody has followed through.  Your LP might encourage others to LP Dominions 3.

Ultimately, you should do whatever LP you would like, and would be willing to stick with.  The lack of consensus gives you the justification to pick whatever you would like.

Excusing dictatorial leadership. I like it.
