FG: Galactic Overlord IV: Sign up

[Jamski]

The elegant solution is that training a spy is an order, as is using a spy, attacking, raising shields or building a generator. You may only perform one of these orders each turn.

And that gets my vote, and my vote counts double

Oh, and count me in, of course

Nice avatar, Joncha - one of my personal favorites

[DrSpike]

That's even worse than Skanky's suggestion, since you can't attack and use the spy simultaneously. That was always an intention of the rules you originally laid down.

Shame on you.

[Spaced Cowboy]

I agree, that makes spies useless or similar to shields. The advantage of keeping someone at home while you go on a rampage is where the spy is at.

[:) Smiley]

I say its time we vote.

SPIES
1. No training and using spies the same turn. (Joncha's proposal)
2. No training and using spies the same turn only when there are 2 players remaining. (Smiley's proposal)
3. Using a spy counts as a regular order (Jamski's proposal)
4. Spies cost BPs to build (Spaced's proposal)
5. When 2 players left, fight to the death immediately (Skanky's proposal)
6. Don't change

COMBAT
1. Allow any OoB, recalculate after 3 rounds
2. Allow any OoB, do not recalculate (Combat 1.2)
3. Don't change

FLEET LOANS
1. Yes
2. No

My vote: 2, 1, 2

[DrSpike]

The only good suggestion was Joncha's suggestion, so I vote for that, if it's going to get changed. I'm still persuadable on leaving it, but I don't think that has much support.

[Kassiopeia]

1, 1, 2

[Ljube]

1, 1, 1

[Spaced Cowboy]

1,1,2

[Whoha]

1,1,2

[joncha]

1,2,2

[Skanky Burns]

2,1,2

[GeneralTacticus]

2, 1, 1.

[GeoModder]

I'm not participating in GO IV, so don't know if my vote counts. But for future GO's:

1, 1, 2

[duke o' york]

(3 and 5), 1, 2.

[Spaced Cowboy]

The totals so far:

Prop1: 1-60%, 2-30%, (3&5)-10%)
Prop2: 1-90%, 2-10%
Prop3: 1-20%, 2-80%

Looks like 1,1,2 will carry the majority.

[Spaced Cowboy]

I thinking of a Monday start. I put the thread up later today. You'll have til Monday to get the orders in (GM'n 3 games, is my mailbox gonna be full or what?).

[GeneralTacticus]

Hmmm... do we get a no-attack pre-turn, or not?

[Kassiopeia]

Oi, this forum already has one Starchild.

[GeoModder]

't Could be worser, you could be a woman like in Maffia.

Oi, you are Star Child not Starchild.

I like the idea of a prebuild phase...then attacking allowed in the real turn 1.

[GeneralTacticus]

Orders sent on that assumption, then.

[:) Smiley]

Is it a 20 BP prebuild like in GO I?

[Sandman]

Orders sentified. Probably with mistakes.

Would I be right in thinking that one starts with one spy and one shield generator?

[GeneralTacticus]

AFAIK... no. You don't start off with either.

[Sandman]

Ok, thanks. Just needed to clear that up.

[Jamski]

Assuming a 20 BP pre-build, orders sentified

-Jam

[Kassiopeia]

Ditto here.

[:) Smiley]

sent.

[Spaced Cowboy]

20 BP pre-build, no spy or shield to start!
