Player etiquette

When someone else has called the shot, it's just rude to take it from under their nose or eyestalk. Alt and Per are far too caught up in their own game to show the kind of courtesy that their fellow daleks expect during a planetary conquest.

The virtue of a good internet connection

Dalek Alt isn't sure that Dalek Per is using his words correctly. Fortunately for Per, all the wireless networks in the area are down because the Daleks have been busy destroying everything. If Alt had an internet connection he could go to dictionary dot com and call Per on his mistake.

Back and forth

Dalek Per, being new to the synonym game doesn't realise that Dalek Alt is either playing fast and loose with the rules or is betraying his ignorance of the English language. To be speaking truthfully, Dalek Alt would have to employ a modified atomising ray rather than the regular death ray. We all know it's far too much work to modify a death ray like that...

Out of town

I'll be out of town for the weekend.

Daleks will still be drawn but won't be posted until I get back. Until then my adoring fans (if there are any) will simply have to AN-TIC-I-PATE!
