h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*The Shadow speeds away from the missiles and is far too fast for them to catch up. They get bored of chasing the ship and blow up in space. The Shadow turns around and fires it's tomato machine-guns*

*The Olympus, while waiting for the tomatos to reach it from that far distance, prepares a salad and has lunch.*

While still waiting for those tomatos a rather tall alien arrives on Ben's ship and promptly insults Ben before informing him that inactivity for five or more days is an official forfeit and b9nr515 wins and then the alien returns to his ship and flys away.

But it was Christmas and I wasn't here.

You could've just said you were going away and I'd have waited for you.

I didn't realise I'd be gone so long!

You just spontainously left home for a couple of weeks?

Yes. As a surprise, me and my family went to LA the for Christmas.

Oh..., uh, well then...it's your turn I think.

Where were we then?

Well... I don't quite remember, and being to lazy to read backlog, just start again. This time no chess.

Ludo?

Snakes and ladders then? Cludo?

How about we steer away from board games completely.

Multi-player Civilization over the internet?

I've gotten rather bored with Civilization, Alpha Centauri would be good though. but judging from our posts I doubt we'd find the time to do it.

Well, I'm getting broadband in a few weeks so I'll be on the internet during the night then.

Just so we don't have to bugger with the logistics, let's keep it to just us fighting one another.

Oh fine. you go first.
