Let me backup a step... 49 Our class had a algerbra test on tuesday and I was not looking 50 forward to going to class tonight. (praying for a curve?) I had 51 planned to skip it and guess what happens? My desk mate calls 52 and tells me that she can't make it and needs to know what homework 53 is going to be assigned tonight. So I'm a good girl and go to 54 school so my desk mate will know what her homework will be. 55 I arrive late and find out that the test will not be ready to hand 56 back untill tuesday.(great) I sit through a painful lecture and 57 she almost forgets to assign us homework at the end. In the end 58 I get the homework assignment and learn a little about functions 59 in the process. It was like a greater force insisted that I 60 attend school tonight. But, for what greater purpose.? 61 Just thought Id waste a few lines here on the BWMS, others do, so 62 why not me? 63 *************************************kathyD************************* 64 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 65 Man. Him. She longed for him. It was her way not to show emotion, but in 66 concealing her emotion from others it swelled inside herself. Lust, love, they 67 were just words, symbols for feelings that can never be expressed in words. 68 A hollow in her body told her that she wanted him. The fever in her head 69 confirmed it. Still she could not reveal these passions. When they were 70 together, she was the strong one, only to him. The pain of hiding the pleasure 71 made her strong in his nearness, on the exterior. 72 To tell him with a touch, a kiss, a caress, an embrace, so little, yet 73 so powerful. No, it was not the way. This attachment was not meant to be. How 74 could she go on? Her every waking moment was in dreaming of him. Asleep, awake, 75 her life was of him and for him. In dreams only. It was her different age, as 76 much as his dreams were to him. 77 The visits were difficult. So vulnerable, he laid on his couch, she could 78 see in his eyes what feelings he held for her. To return those feelings, to 79 let him know. How simple. How impossible. It was not her way. It was not 80 allowed. She was not to become emotionally involved with a patient. A patient? 81 A lover. She wanted to forget the instructions. Rules made by people who could 82 not understand feeling. They shared so much. She knew his eyes. She knew him. 83 How natural. She could. She had to. His ascendancy in her mind. She could no 84 longer deny it. It was worth it. The pain it could cause. The price they both 85 would pay. It was no use. 86 A sliver of metal and engine and humanity seeks out a new place. The 87 sounds of the ship notified her of status. A new place would come soon. He 88 was not ready. She could help. It was worth it all. She would go to him. 89 A pulse quickened. The truth. Excitement and wonder. It would not be long 90 now. She knew it well. Star-crossed lovers ever closer to their stars. 91 '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 92 93 Hmmmm.....

Strange- a ship that size should not 215 have fitted into such a small body of water; yet, there it was, twisting the 216 eyes of any watchers. 217 Grann nimbly jumped off the prow and onto the muddy bank, quickly tying the 218 boat onto the small footbridge in order to secure it. When his task was done, 219 he stopped and watched the many ducks that had gathered on the stiller portions 220 of the stream. After a bit, he pulled out a package of pastry squares and fed 221 a few to the ducks, yet more to himself. 222 The green-eyed mage lightly dropped over the side, and motioned to Grann who 223 had somehow finished the entire box of pastries. 224 A few hurried steps brought them to the front door of the Inn. A few more 225 carried them to a meeting room, far in the back of the main common area, where 226 other cloaked figures sat talking. 227 What did they discuss? Did a new danger threaten Innisfal? An old enemy? 228 Did the figures discuss the true nature of the universe, or at least that one? 229 Perhaps all or none of these. But pleasant hours were passed, regardless of 230 the topic of discussion. And perhaps a few good ideas got their start there. 231 232 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Milch ++++++++ October 25, 1986 at 11:39pm +++ 233 ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZaxx! 234 ******************************************************************************* 235 '(*)(*)(*)', I'm up to talking about most anything.

Acquisition of the Nuclear Option 396 397 a) You may receive one Nuke and two armies in place of 398 the normal number of armies when you turn in cards at the 399 beginning of your turn (Or when you capture another players 400 cards) provided one of the following conditions are meet. 401 402 1) At least one of the three cards you turn in is a 403 country that you occupy. The Nuke will be placed on one of the 404 afore mentioned countries that you occupy. In addition you get 405 two Armies to strengthen your Nuclear base to be placed on the 406 same country as the Nuke. 407 408 2) You play a Wild card, in lieu of a card whose 409 country you occupy, for Nuclear placement. You may use the Wild 410 card to improve the security of your installation i.e. Place it 411 in a well fortified area behind the front lines. However beware 412 someone may pull that card and Nuke your installation. 413 414 2. Use of the Nuclear Option 415 416 a) Offensive Use 417 418 Nuclear deployment can only occur at the beginning of 419 your turn. Your available targets are determined by the cards 420 you hold. (Wild cards cannot be used for target designation) Or 421 after you have captured another players cards and turn them in 422 for credit. 423 424 b) Defensive Use 425 426 A player may only use their Nuclear arms when the are 427 being attacked. The nuclear option exists as long as the player 428 is under attack. The player is under no obligation to inform 429 anyone of impending retaliation. The only target limitation 430 being the cards the player holds. (One special case exists. 431 i.e. It is Blacks turn. Black attacks Red who launches and 432 destroys a country Green holds. Green now has the Nuclear 433 Option to retaliate against whatever targets he has.) 434 435 1) Defensive Launch 436 437 The primary defender (Player being conventionally 438 attacked) may launch after he has beaten the attacking player 439 in a roll of the dice in lieu of the attacking player removing 440 the armies he lost in the roll. A split is sufficient. *NOTE 441 Once a Nuclear exchange has begun it can continue until the 442 last player effected cannot or chooses not to continue. (i.e. 443 Green launches against Red who launches against Blue who 444 launches Yellow who launches against Black who has Nuclear 445 capability but chooses not to launch. 446 447 3. Discussion & Miscellaneous Rules 448 449 Targets - are determined by the cards you hold. They 450 are played by laying the chosen card face up on the board. It 451 is then returned to the card stack and shuffled back into the 452 deck. 453 454 Cards - After any cards are played they are then 455 shuffled back into the deck for potential reuse by another 456 player. 457 458 Dead Zones - A dead zone is established whenever a 459 country is has been target of a nuclear exchange and remains a 460 Dead Zone for the rest of the game. No player may occupy a Dead 461 Zone however players may pass through a D.Z. at a cost of half 462 of their forces plus one army. The armies are removed when 463 entering the D.Z. Armies awarded for holding a continent for 464 one turn are not awarded if that continent has a D.Z. If a 465 country has been the site of more than one nuclear strike it 466 cannot be held or crossed for the remainder of the game. In the 467 event that it is impossible to capture all the armies a draw 468 will be declared between the remaining forces. 469 470 Capture of a Nuke - When a nuclear base is under attack 471 it is the defenders choice to launch if he beats the attackers 472 roll however if the defender loses all the armies around the 473 nuclear site that country is overrun by the attacker. And the 474 occupier of the country has control over the site. The only 475 exception is that should the original owner of the silo have 476 the card for that country he may at the beginning of his turn 477 detonate the nuke in its silo. 478 479 Rearming existing silos - Any player may rearm any 480 site that currently has an existing weapon or empty silo. 481 Providing the player owns that country. Rearming happens at 482 the beginning of each player turn when he turns in cards and 483 requests a Nuke or after the capture of another players cards 484 and turns them in. 485 486 Army count - Every time a set of cards are turned in 487 the count of armies increases. However when the count reaches 488 ten armies only cards turned in for Armies increase the count, 489 cards turned in for Nukes after ten Armies are reached do not 490 increase the count. 491 492 493 494 T H E N U C L E A R O P T I O N 495 496 [With thanks to Alex and thousands of hapless bits of plastic.] 497 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. 498 Bubbles 499 Big, bright, 500 Beatiful clear orbs 501 Floating along in harmony 502 Matched only by 503 Their rhythmic 504 Bounces 505 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.Emu 506  507 508 ******* ** ** **** * * 509 ** ** ** * * * * * 510 ** ****** ** * * * 511 ** ** ** * * * 512 ** ** ** **** * * 513 =================================== 514 P.(3) 515 516 As Mark sat drinking his morning Pepsi he contemplated the major thoughts 517 of the day.
