The Hive Is Alive!

[Angel Tarragon]

When trying to spend the day awake when I want to sleep, what I end up doing is just playing mindless Xbox games, such as hockey. Not really awake enough to get bored at playing hockey for the 4-5 hours I need to stay up for, but too tired to think enough to play basically any other type of game.

This also helps put focus onto something besides how tired I am.

The computer game I fall back when I'm that way is Master of Orion 2. The only problem with it is having way too many colonies across various sytems it beomes a point and click fest.

Thing is, it is vital to have a lot of colonies in the game. The more research points I can pump out the quicker I can gain techs to have an advantage over my enemies.

And that tactic really boils down to playing a race with creativity merit... You just out-smart every other races very quickly . Yeah, I play it too much too

Yeah, I alway take the Lithovore and Creative picks, that way I don't have to worry about food and can just pump out Industry and Research.

Damn. That was my race last time too. I took penalties on combat abilities to give me the necessary points. When your ships are few thousand years more advanced than the other's, you don't really need to worry about those disadvantages .

Awesome. Sabbatical?

Maybe you'll have more time to GM our game?

One thing we have good out here is month-long paid vacation . I know it might sound almost unbelievable to you but it's true. It's standard lenght.

Yeah, I know, you've told me . It's just that I've never considered 10pm to be very late.
