V'ril,
fly a ship into orbit and take a look see whats waiting for you.  You're not
escaping the planet this time.  Oh, and BTW. words don't claim a system. You
must first find every other colony I built there to do that. I've sent Graf
von Monts to personally bring you back (dead or alive), where I intend to
keep my promise to slow roast your corpse over a BBQ pit. You demons remember
Graf? Upreach, Demon's Gorge, etc.

von Ludendorf

p.s.
keep in mind that by the time you find even one of the emergency colonies, 4
more will have been built... and so on.

Huh?
(As one who left the game from 1986 to 1994.)

Can you explain what is going on here?  What's an emergency colony?

A new Affiliation in BSE.  The BBQ?  Interesting.  Think of the
possibilities for racial characteristics!

 Any chance of liberating the data from CI$ and getting it up somewhere
more friendly?

The data is not on CIS, it's on my anonymous ftpsite at ftp.io.com in the
/pub/usr/kerry/BSE/General_Info directory - you should be able to access it
via any ftp client.

CSNav is CompuServe's version of an offline reader, CIM is their online
tool, which the majority of the users there us.

The Kazereckii do not recognize your claim, any hostile actions directed
towards one of our ships shall be viewed as an act of war against the
Kazereckii by the Foelian Empire as we doubt you speak for the whole of the
Trans-Canally Alliance.

Per the THC decree, the FGZ are assuming
control over the systems of Nicolo and Spartinus.

Any non-FGZ position found within these systems
are targets for possible attack...

The FGZ space now contains the following:

I think the KZK in a way speak for the entire human race also.

FOE..not only prepare to be removed from the Northcape system, but you
can also look forward to your ultimate elimination as a viable
space-faring race.  I am recomending all AFT post the entire FOE race,
and I will not only hope, but expect any and all human AFFs to do the
same.  You have stretched yourself too thin by taking Northcape FOE, the
results of your actions will destroy you, and it should come as no suprise.

Liberation of the only source to the farm tech is at hand!

Lord Den of Earth,
In light of the Alliponians building their own warships and announcing that
they will shortly claim the entire Limond system, and enforce neutrality
there, what is the THC view of Limond (till now it was understood to be a
joint protectorate)? Enquiring minds want to know.

My aides tell me that you have one of the best chefs in the Periphery in your
employ. Ordinarily I eat in the mess hall with the troops. However this is a
special case. Could you check with him to find out what goes best with roast
Foelian... A-1 sauce, Cattleman's BBQ sauce, or plain old ketchup?

V'ril,
One last thing send up those Baseships the FOE acquired from the FGZ. I'm
looking foward to adding their captured hulks to the Imperial fleet. A
FOE-hull-shifted, ISP baseship.... now there's an irony.

The subscriber base for the BSE Digest got deleted somehow last Sunday.
Since I didn't have a listing just the folks subscribed to it I
resubscribed everybody on the bse-list to it also - if you don't want to
get the BSE Digest please let me know and I'll remove you from it.

Also, issues #119 and #120 of the BSE Digest were sent under the old
wce-list as it was handy and not being used.
