Inspired by their father’s firm’s success in lumber and lumber derivatives, Carmichael Walnut declared: “SPACE MIRRORS! Space mirrors are the future and Walnut Industries will, as it always has been, be at a forefront! Now where is space and how many trees grow there?” Archibald Larch and Cornelius Dogwood joined the ill-fated, generational mission to Mars. The trio, widely known as the Timber Trio, after successfully made the surface livable after nearly 15 generations. ...

A two match tournament over 2 hours ended in a draw on this Sunday. Attila the Huney took down the first game while Caeser ABustUs, so called for his inability to ever have sufficient coins in the bank, took the second. In the first game, Attila create a formidible and unassaible financial empire. Caeser’s efforts to undermine her through a clever explosion of Wonder-building was too little too late in overcoming the early game deficit.

Alf’s winning strategy was almost entirely not washing her hands correctly. She introduced all sorts of novel bacteria to the martian landscape. This bacteria made all sort of oxygen. Then she made bank off her newfound “breathable air” monopoly. Seedy fell far behind after investing the last of his 8 mega-credits into establishing an award that he awarded to himself for his corporation’s ability to generate heat (but little else). He tried to make up the gap by raising rabbits… which he then fed to his martian bears. He will be remembered as the first loser. ...
