Halfway Through The Week...

The boyfriend had another interview today - he reckoned this one went really well and the package was good too. He has a second interview on Friday, so fingers crossed...

On the nerdy PBM gaming front (which I don't tend to post much about), I've been involved in various "war councils" recently (online meetings with other players). I have been happily playing this game in a very unwarlike way (as a trader) for two years and now, it seems that I will be involved in ships and starbases being blown up (hopefully not mine), gearing my factories for the war machine and shipping troops and weapons, instead of trade goods and ore.

How has this come about?

It seems that war is the only option to keep the game going. One group of players have gotten far too powerful and if they are not stopped, they will end up destroying the game.

So, whilst I will not be running my own fleet or squadron of warships, my own fleet of cargoships will be aiding the coming war effort.

Hey, it will be fun (I think!) - war gaming always is, but war in real life is obviously a totally different matter... :(
