Industry Game

[Kody]

Work with me. You're still on turn 5. Not turn 6.
You calculate production for the start of turn 5 before you place a square.
HongHu hasn't lost a square in turn 5 yet. She has 5 squares. I lost one square to HongHu, I have 4 squares. Nothing is dodgy.

Dear Comrade Vev, from the end of turn summary we don't see that you have the 6 things formation. Now this may be an issue you need to talk it out with the game master (I think he does need some sleep I tell you ). No back end negotiation though.

[Vev]

Well it should be fixed now

[Snowflake]

Maybe we should restart the whole thing.

[Vev]

I did set my thing to buy c1
then I've noticed a new turn and bought a new square thinking someone noticed my buying of square c1.

[Snowflake]

What is exactly your thing? You also appear to have 4 things and 6 things. Wow look how many things you have.

SOMEONE JUST TELL ME HOW MANY SQUARES AM I SUPPOSE TO HAVE NOW! I AM VERY VERY CONFUSED

Look at the previous turn that shows how many squares you have.
Also I was asking for turn 5 not turn 6. Turn 6 was what I was updating when I noticed you had updated your turn 4 to turn 5.

This should be your real post, which you didn't do right.
You then attempted to work on the incorrect post which is why
you ended up in such a muddle.

HongHu, I didn't cheat. The posts we make don't subtract the industry. I subtract the industry after the move has been accepted. That is why there was a difference in industry.

Vev, didn't cheat. He just screwed up his post entirely. Also because I thought he was finished I was already updating the turn. But it turned out he wasn't finished. I usually like to give a warning and at least 1 hour for someone to fix up their post. Vev didn't get that.

HongHu, if look carefully you'll realise that is the way the game works :P.

Notice your remaining industry doesn't change between the end of last turn and the begining of your next turn. That's because you haven't brought anything at the start of your turn.

I was not cheating because my industry didn't change. It's just the way the game is.

[Snowflake]

So you claim your number is 14 instead of 11 and call it a screwed up and go not punished. The rule is the rule. If you did something that is beneficial to you which is not correct, you need to take the punishment. We didn't have a poll saying a warning should be given out before the punishment?

The industry calculation is also inconsistent. The biggest problem is that everybody edits his post so you don't have a back post to check against. Now that plus the game master mistakes ... Hmmm This is sure a big mass. I refuse to accept the explanation. Unless you give me the square I wanted.

[Kody]

I never had 14 production. Vev had 14 at some stage.

*sigh*
And where did you get 11 from?

I think you really need to sleep.

Dear Comrade Kody, the "you" means everybody there. In other words, you could change it with the word "one", you need to change the tense of the verbs accordingly though.

You should have known where I get the 11 from becuase I have included the calculation in my turn post after the cheat noticed title.

Being a game master at the same time a player is not an easy job.

Do you really want me to go to sleep?

No. My remaining industry was 59 at the end of last turn but you record it wrong. Remember I just told you so a couple of posts ago? There is not a start of the turn. After you edit your post you have bought a "thing" already and you already are at the end of your turn.

[Kody]

I can actually list exactly what happened in the game right from the start off the top of my head. I've had to write it down in 3 different places every single time I make a move.

I started with 25 production

* these are end of turn values Company "Statictics"
* add +1 to industry for the player posts

Turn 0 (d7,1)
prod: 0, total: 0, Industry: 24

Turn 1 (d6,1)
prod: 1, total: 1, Industry: 23

Turn 2 (e6,1)
prod: 2, total: 3, Industry: 22

(production stays at 2 because you brought my square)

Turn 3 (e7,1)
prod: 2, total: 5, Industry: 21

Turn 4 (f6,5)
prod: 3, total: 8, Industry: 20

Turn 5 (e6,1)
prod: 4, total: 12, Industry: 15

I have not been cheating in this game.

HongHu,

I don't appreciate being heckled. Especially for mistakes I didn't make, and for being nice to the players and not docking them for mistakes immediately. I can't cheat at this game because the game master immediately notices when he cheats. It defeats the purpose of cheating. Point out mistakes I may make, but don't scream wolf when you see a shadow.

Cheating is mainly so you can have fun. Allowing the players to tell the game master is so the cheater can have a fun mad scramble fixing the discrepency before I do the turn.

Since you insist from now on if I see a mistake I'll wait 1 hour, then give the penalty. No warning anymore like I used to do.

If Kody the player makes a mistake that you notice then I will get penalised. If the game master makes a mistake it is not Kody the player cheating. The mistake will be fixed and the game will continue.

[Kody]

After you edit your post you have bought a "thing" already and you already are at the end of your turn.

Wrong, after you edit the post your attempt to buy goes into the pending move section. It's called the pending move, because it hasn't occurred yet.
You can change your decision as long as the game master hasn't changed the turn.

HongHu & Vev,

Sorry I realised I've been rather testy during the last 2 hours.

I think it was having to read through the 100 odd posts that appeared in our forum. At a rate of about 1 per minute. Also it's rather late and I was planning on heading to bed awhile ago.
