From drf5n@mug.sys.virginia.edu Mon Aug 19 20:35:41 2002 Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2002 19:13:37 -0400 (EDT) From: David Forrest To: Zoom , Aimless Wanderer , Knjaz' Igor' , Juke , Andromeda's Secret , Coeur's Folly , Asylum , Rabbit , Spider 50 Subject: TBG Arcturus Hail All Good Captains, This is Dave of the Tin Bucket, here at Arcturus. I came back to do the Moon 3 in Medical, which I flubbed when I met with Santiago Ramon y Cajal here two turns ago. If any higher ranked ships ships intend to do it, I would appreciate a note, so I can divert my crew to maintenance and training. I wrote Andromeda's Secret a too-long note, but I figured I'd say some of the same things here: I mistyped my flag. I meant 'Legitimate target of the PotWO'. I agree that Graham has a grievance against me. If some prophet wrongly accused your alliance of conspiring against him and said its members would be shot on sight, would you denounce out of protest? Supposing you did denounce, and the next turn, the prophet said, "we won't attack those people we lied about, we will just attack people who denounced me", what would you do next? Ask for forgiveness? I've no quarrel with SIR, the chosen of the prophet of the wise one, or the followers of the prophet of the wise one, simply with Graham, who has insulted my alliance, threatened me, spied on me, exposed my friends, and demands that I attempt reconciliation to his satisfaction. I think he is at least as rude as his prophet-bot, and I don't feel the least bit repentant in protesting.
