As for the Society names and roleplaying, I hear what you are saying Spaced, the names were among the most confusing part GMing for me, I had to have a list and constantly replacing the persons Apolyton name with there society name...and with one of those being it became even more confusing .

Anyhow, my orders should be in late this afternoon.

I was a little confused there. If I gave DC the adjancent city and not the catty corner one, then LL would be left with a catty corner city. Giving DC the two cities made sense from a map point of view...and

I am in favor of more combat in this game so I am going to reward it, if I see a chance to.

[Ljube]

I wouldn't normally mind that decision, except it's against the rules. Please return my city.

[Gamecube64]

I agree with Ljube on this.
Sent.

[Spaced Cowboy]

GM confusion sets in. I've reread the rules and LL gets his city back. It can't be any more clearer. I missed the adjacent definition at the top when trying to figure it out.

2nd. during a revolution, it says that you can keep one phase. What are the phases? Are they?:
1. Espionage
2. Trade
3. Production
4. Foreign Aid
5. War
6. Tax Collection

If so, then someone needs to change their orders. Somehow I remember tax collection as always happening and the choice is the other 5, or am I wrong here?

[:) Smiley]

You are correct, Taxation is inevitable, though tax collection is halved. Half of whatever taxes the new government gives.

[Sparrowhawk]

But you can't have all production...production is further broken down in:
a) Science
b) Cities
c) Wonders/Spaceships
d) Military

So the government in revolution has to pick one of the above if they opt for production (over say Trade).

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Orders resent.

[Spaced Cowboy]

LL has 10 more gold and DC has the same amount since it did not count this turn. I'll correct the chart and map next turn.

[Sparrowhawk]

Orders Sent

And by the way, Spaced's "cryptic reference" to someone revolting this turn was somewhat defeated by the "Orders resent" by Vlad . No secrets in this game, no matter if the GM wants it kept secret or not!

/me

[Vlad Antlerkov]

I know. Always gotta have that +1.

(+1)

[:) Smiley]

Ah, Vlad, you need to have more tact in order sending... or is it that you've got a wonder under construction? Orders sent.

[Jonny]

Orders sent.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Yeah, I did not expect him to put resent.

Still need orders from DC and Muxec. With 48 hour turns, they are not due until tomorrow.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Orders resent. Again.

[DarkCloud]

well, I'm confused about the game here- do I or do I not have ljube's second city... I think he deserves it considering the rules= I'm really happy that you want me to benefit, but rules are rules.

and ***#@($%*&( that I only have 3 armies. Oh well

sending.
