Assigning your helpers to increase the Growth Rate and sending out your fleets to gather more crystals, increase your security, and importing more colonists is a no brainer. You also decide to build another Underwater city along with a water recycling plant to help the thirsty colonies, and finally sending a little "gift" to the Urgi pirates. Hopefully, they'll appreciate it...
You are now <span class="mu-s">Brutus</span> again, and currently, you are suffering.
After being invited to a private high stakes game with a bunch of Prooh, you thought you were going to be having fun and relaxing, or at the very least have an intense session of mind versus mind. But that's not what you got at all.
You've been sitting in this chair for thirty four hours. And it's still not over.
These aliens come from a desert world with extreme conditions; they wear nose plugs because the taste of water is intoxicating to them, and apparently gets them horny too. You're pretty sure they did this on purpose, inviting you to this game knowing you had no chance to succeed. But even you can't imagine they were trying to kill you too!
This game, culturally based on their history of great migrations, is designed to slowly leak your money away from you. The earlier you quit, the more money you save, and only the big winner at the end gets to keep the pot. The rules are designed to extend the game as long as possible, with no breaks, so only the one with the strongest endurance will win. Some already left from boredom, or from getting bad tiles and knowing they can't possibly win, and now you envy them a bit. No sleep, no water... you're starting to feel really damn bad. You can't leave the table, or else you forfeit everything. You bet the worm's share of your winnings from your race victory to buy into this game. Hazaar are pretty tough, but no water or food...
But you're so close. You still have a shot to win! You can't give up now! You just need to reach the oasis tile at the center. You just need one more good tile. But how much longer are you gonna last?
