Twillfeather, What are these pouftas? Are they a human sub-species or a different race (natives of the planet Poufta)? The one you showed did not appear worth keeping alive for a slave, but it is a colony Minister and threatened physical violence to the RIP (unless my interpreter mis-translated, the slaves here at Target only seem to speak Flagritz well). Do they have any special abilities or above average intelligence? Do you know the best way to serve cooked poufta (grilled, baked, or stuffed)? Are there any in the USS exploration branch?

Anyway, the blighters sent a warship to try to exact revenge. Ever the clever lad, our Research Coordinator learned the utility of QSN ship classes as damage soakers from the experiences of the Purple Monkey, er, ah, Yellow Dolphin? No matter. He quickly moved a Cargo Master to intercept the damage that would have done in his exploration craft. As it was, the fellow managed to avoid total disaster: One of the ships was derelicted, but the others are unscathed and the poor FOE blighter is left sitting wondering what's coming for him next week. Good show, I say! I understand that a bit of cargo did get a bit muffed up, but it's all broken eggs over a haystack, what?

Hi guys, Well, I've finally got the AFT Home Page going, and its address is: http://www.secis.com/users/ahatcher/afthome.html It's still a little rough around the edges since my IP has been dragging their feet about getting all the files copied over into the correct directory, but it should be fully functional within the next few days.

Right now it contains a copy of the AFT profile, a list of the Trade Council members, and a couple of Market Reports. I'm not trying to compete with Kerry on Market Reports, but both he and I are a bit limited so I'll usually try to offer reports from different colonys than he does, but I do hope to have most if not all of the AFT colonys on the page eventually. I know it doesn't have much yet, but give the page a try-out and tell me what you think.

Here's what I got so far..... Horst is gonna be the ball of flame impersonating a QSN stargate (Let's hope the same assistant who picked out his dress for last time helps him with this one). Noa, this time pal I think you should bring a Personal data assistant, I think Guido may be interested in a little help with time and money management right now so HE may think one is worth a great deal..... Hoffa, don't know if Ludie told you but if ya'll can get a hop up from Dogleg (perhaps with Guido, you boys can remin'Miss about lost loves, I guess)you're certainly invited. SAM vice Admiral Sagoyewatha is certainly invited to attend. Hop a ride with Guido and Hoffa if ya like...just don't believe a word they tell ya'. I'll explain the rules when you arrive. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Sorry. Hey did someone say they saw my parrot with that G.D. Capt Lucky again? Did ya get the number of the transport he took off on? And last but not least, Guido. Yeah, bring the girls again...I'll bring the Araldo for them, and the Heaven Herb for US! If you're gonna give Saggie a ride up, then I guess that you should ask him to eat before he gets on board....I can't stand to see bugs eat myself. Yeah, the Guido Rule is in affect (ie: "Bluffing is acceptable only if there ISN'T a loaded gun on the table in front of you".) Still havn't heard from: Sun Tzu; the MYR (this game is open to all affiliation, and race/gvt heads that arn't Periphery posted); Zed, okokok, ya can belt out a cadence now and again; the USS as a whole -probably distracted by the RIP (...or maybe their sheep?). And of course, Lady O'Hare of Clove will be there as well as my neice Julie's new beau...Roman. BTW: I don't think an SSL ship could do the Kessel run that fast...and this guy was in MY starport? I'd like to meet 'em. Oh yeah, who's this "Embot" guy, does he play?
