PEACE and the last base IMPORTANT

[Jamski]

This game is a PBEM, and we all know about the bug when a faction's last base is captured/destroyed...

The turn order will be disrupted, and some factions will lose thier turn as a result.

The normal PBEM method is that the defeated faction self-destructs their last base themselves when the admit defeat.

Just a heads-up incase the CyUni were considering this action - it WILL break the game.

Thankyour for your time.

Don't worry, joking...

[Jamski]

Well sooner I thought that PEACE would whip your bum

................. it WILL break the game.

Well, given the turn order, it might not be too bad (with Buster's approval)

What would happen is that the CyCon destroy the last base, thuis eradicating PEACE, and the game then jumps to the start of the next planet year, to the Hive. Only the Drones play after PEACE, so they would lose a turn.

If they acquiesced, no biggie. If not, then base disbanding is the norm

A turn is a turn... I think we Drones would like as many as we can get-- more if we can find a way. (kidding on that last part)

[Drogue]

Disbanding is fine, should the last base be taken.

[Jamski]

That's the point - the last base may not be taken, Drogue, or the Drones will lose a turn.

I though the agreed upon action would be for the attacker to send its turn to the Gods with the Military attack plan they intend to use. The Gods then test the plan a few times to confirm that destruction is inevitable.

Then the team plays the turn without actualy performing said attacks (perhaps moving units to the locations they would have to have been in inorder to have exicuted attacks but not following through) and on the lossers turn the Gods delete them and pass the turn along to the rest of the factions on the turn.

[Jamski]

Well, whatever. Just don't accidentally destroy the last base or anything...

I was just going to suggest that.

The winners have to empty the base and have a unit with enough movement left that it would be capable of taking it, is the usual required situation.

This has all been discussed and agreed to before... currently there is a ceasefire in place, however, so it is moot, IMHO.

No it isn't. Obviously the Hive knew that we were gonna sink your last schooner as retaliation of them destroying our colony pod, and that as a consequence PEACE could be eliminated from this game. That's why Jamski started this thread. The Hive never had any intention to safe you from destruction. After all they helped us win our war against you a few years back, and recently after we agreed to peace talks, they suddenly were no longer interested in participating in those. Their only intention was to have some justification to attack us, and therefore they started all that Planetary Council rubbish roleplay.

[FlameFlash]

Well, I don't know at all about the Hive's motivations, but it should still be moot as the CPU has agreed to a ceasefire. Don't see what changes that at all unless CPU wants to break its word.

The only way PEACE could therefore be eliminated would be via Hive or Drone attack... which at this juncture I find highly unlikely.
