RESTRICTIONS/MODIFICATIONS:
1. No Empath Guild
2. No permanment pacts
3. A player may insert stockpile energy into the build queue after the production of a 
   military unit.
4. No interceptors on auto
5. A player can not use a former to accumulate teraforming while the former is in 
   transit.
6. A player may not restart a turn without good reason. The player should specify the 
   reason in the game thread if he was not able to avoid reloading the turn. (Obviously, 
   if a player has suffered some sort of crash during a turn, such a reload is 
   unavoidable) 
7. A player is not permitted to establish contact with another faction prior to having 
   met them in-game. 
8. If a player performs a probe team action other than to infiltrate against another 
   player with whom (s)he is in a truce, treaty or pact, they must inform the probed 
   player what it was they did and what they stole/sabotaged. They must also choose the 
   'declare vendetta/cancel pact' option when they perform the action.
9. A player is not permitted to make more than one social engineering change per line, 
   per turn. For instance, one is not permitted to start the turn in wealth, switch to 
   power mid-turn for the extra disbanded minerals, and then switch back to wealth that 
   same turn, getting the refund. 
10. A player is not permitted to use the 'demand withdrawal' feature against another 
    player, leaving the AI the decision of whether to withdraw or not. 
11. A player may not accept a bribe from another player's AI during council sessions. 
12. A player may not perform multiple airdrops in a single turn with the same unit using 
    the right-click menu. 
13. A player may not use the F4 screen when infiltrated to change an opponent's workers 
    to specialists.
14. If a player declares vendetta upon another player, either directly or indirectly, 
    they must not accept a pending diplomatic agreement between the two factions in the 
    same turn. 
15. A player may not upgrade a particular type of unit using the design workshop, and 
    then attack with that unit in the same turn. 
16. A player may not make air drops using the right click "air drop to" function, when 
    it is not possible to do so with the "i" button, ie. after already having moved or 
    made a drop.
17. A player can not exploit the demon boil bug by setting patrolling waypoints for a 
    mindworm.
18. A player cannot use colony pod to breach the base population limit without 
    appropriate facility being built.
19. A player can not set the home base (Control-h) for a unit to be the base of another 
    faction when the diplomatic stance is pact so that the unit will require no support 
    from either faction.
20. A player can not reverse engineer rover chassis from probe team.
21. Submissive pacts are allowed.

NOTES:
Those emailing Jamski, put 'PBEM' in the subject line.

I took the liberty of copying and pasting all stories written so far.

Here's the file. Let me know if you're not interested so I will not waste my time doing this for third thread

[Kody]

Previous turn tracking thread was at.
http://www.apolyton.com/forums/showt...&goto=lastpost

The story consolidating was good. Although I would like to readd the disclaimer: "In the above document some of the story lines are alternative realities. Due a character I'm developing being made to act in ways he would never act by another writer."

Turn 110 to Frankychan about 18 hours ago.

[Barinthus]

I wasn't sure to do with that section you're referring to but figured you folks can edit your own copy.

[Frankychan]

Well.....you guys sure did spam the heck out of that thread.

I get home from work and I find the HoF thread buried with posts....

Anyway, nothing new so Believer story P.O.V. is put on hold.


[Turn sent to Brother Hercules]

[Enigma_Nova]

TTPP shall now resume!
I can see we're gonna spam the heck out of this thread, too.

Info on the last thead. Dirty spammers

[Enigma_Nova]

...
How the hell does he know how many posts I have if I'm on his ignore list?

TTPP #20: Relax

[Frankychan]

Thanks for the stats, Jamski.

[Hercules]

I have a lot of spamming serious RP and Gp to do here to catch up.

[Kody]

I'm not a spammer, I just have alot to say. What you really need to do is factor in word count per post. Then you'll realise I have a fairly decent word count per post ratio.

If only because I wrote some long story segments...

[Frankychan]

ROFL! Shoot, Comrade Kody. That's worthy of sig material.

That's a fitting one, Enigma!!

Perhaps I should start some RP as well. OTOH, silence is the RP for the Hive IMHO...

So far the Hive infaction happenings are not so interesting as eg. roaming missionaries, immigration protocol problems, rampaging elite rovers or grim Cougar defenders. No, I'm dropped in a very silent corner of good ol' Chiron...

[Kody]

You could go on about your mindworm experiments. I'm sure you've killed enough of them and gathered lots of husks.

Turned on signatures had a glance around. I think they're a bit over-rated. Turned them back off again.

[Frankychan]

Whoa, my bad if I offended you.

[Kody]

Huh?

Nope not offended.

It's just my opinion of signatures around this place in general. They distract me from the actual posts. If I was able I would pull out all much of the other extraneous information that we keep on seeing too.

[GeoModder]

There really is not much to tell about those 'experiments', honestly...

[Kody]

Note to self: infiltrate Geomodder and find out the definition of the word honestly in the Hive dictionary.

[GeoModder]

Public Announcement:

The Hive's private shafts will remain off-limits to any sort of info leakage. Offenders will and shall be severely punished and won't be accepted!

[GeoModder]

And now I need to do some other RP business...

[Jamski]

Private shafts! This thread is infected with smut too!

/me covers his eyes*

(And HongHu's eyes too)

-Jam

[Hercules]

Turn 2111 to Honghu to distract her attention from well....... the above.

[GeoModder]

Don't be so snubby, Jam. I merely mention the central residential shaft of a base.

[Kody]

I'll never be able to see the word shaft without sniggering again.

[Enigma_Nova]

This thread is already shuttling along nicely at 75 posts per day (this far).
We'll be the only team ever to require 5 turn threads. ^_^

[GeoModder]

Were their in the past any contestors?

[Snowflake]

What are you doing Jamski?! Urgh can't see anything. Come on let me go! ... Why join ... Get you hands off now! ... before I had my house and kids ... Hey I had my house and kids before I joined ok? And actually I didn't join, I started it! Partially for you, Enigma!!! ... Ok what is it that you don't want me to see ... Spams ... Yea yea I'm used to that. No worries ... Please I really need to ... grim Cougar defender ... ... private ... Ouch that hurts Jamski! ... Wait, the turn! ...

/me faints.

/me is not going to recover from Jamski's brutality for at least 12 hours. The turn has to wait. Sorry.

[Jamski]

Oh great. Now I look like the bad guy
