    I can confirm that 2 Drone Newspaper issues have been published to date in their private forum

    I'd go further and say that as far as I can see they are RP'ing as the Drones insofar as. like the other factions, the same questions are being asked and answered, such as (paraphrasing):

    What should our SE, research and build choices be to maximize our Drone advantages and minimize our disadvantages

    What's going to be our strategy towards the other (human and non human) factions - who are "natural" allies and likely antagonists

    And it isn't a Buster dictatorship - moves are made and build orders etc agreed upon only after full discussion by all faction members (in fact, it's set up in their forum with a separate thread for each year, with the map and base display graphics from the end of the previous turn heading each thread. Extremely well organized - but one would expect no less from the Drones, after all ....... )

    These seem to be common threads in all the factions' internal discussions (maybe not in these selfsame words), but indicative of real Role-Playing

          I don't think we can expect to see many public-forum signs of roleplaying yet at this point in the game, unless newspapers are published... which last I checked was not a requirement of this game. I look forward to when we get some interfactional issues

              I was in a similar situation - I never had a clue I was banned either, as it wore off before I got my internet back.
