Ideas for the Start

[Googlie]

With 1 out of 3 movement points used up in moving 1 tile upriver, the odds of being able to move another tile off-river are thus 2/3. or 66.6%

Last time you got a bum roll of the dice - this time it worked

We're living with the current turn, so rejoice and be glad

Thank you I knew the odds, just checking I wasn't supposed to have not tried this time.

q: when are turn played....and when are we....and is it going to be restarted...?

[Drogue]

DBTS: It was restarted, and is not getting back on track again.

The new password is deleted by Googlie. I remember it in 4 chunks, as I find that easiest since it's a nice pattern, thus I look at it like deleted by Googlie.

I didn't bother trying. I just remember it as the string of 0s and 1s

Have posted full Turn Report.

Things to discuss:

Worker placement: Should we change the worker on the nutrients to working the monolith (3:1:1 to 2:2:2)? Have polled for this here.

Base Locations: where I would put them. Comments please, where would you put them?

These are two possible places. 1 shares 1 square with Apolyton Prime (AP), 2 shares none, but uses most of the available squares. I wanted to wait until we see 2 for more info, but in 2 turns we'll be wanting to build it IMHO, and thus I'd like to discuss it ASAP. Any other sites? We could skip 1 and go straight to building in the Garland Crater, before anyone else gets there.

Build Queues: For a normal base, when we have all pre-requisite techs for this lot, I would go: Former, Scout, CP, Crawler, Former, Children's Creche (CC - we need the growth), Crawler, Rec. Commons, Net. Node (especially if we get Virtual World), Rec. Tanks.

For AP now: (Already made Scout), CP, Former, Former, CC, Crawler (presuming we have them by then). At least start building a CP, and by then we should have Cent. Eco.

Pod Popping: Pop them with any military unit, but not with CPs, or Alien Artifacts (do we have them?). However, unsure about with a probe team. If we go to FM, we might need it.

SE settings: I am very sorry, I forgot to change them last time to 30:10:60 Will do next turn (we only lose 1 research and get 1 more Ec). Should we change to Planned as soon as we get Plan. Net.? I think yes, for the (much needed) growth bonus. Poll has been posted here

BTW: Googlie, if we capture a named area, like the Garland Crater, can we rename it? Kind like the US putting a flag on the moon, to show we were there first?

[Cedayon]

so far, Prime Function.

Both base locations look good (1, in particular, looks nice because of the nut bonus), but more recon would obviously be helpful in making the decisions of what exact square to put the bases on.

Renaming landmarks would be fun... better yet, can we rename it to something that makes people think it was put there by a faction other than us?

*starts putting up a circle of directional signs in the fungus, "This way to The Hive"*

[Method]

those base locations look a bit too far apart for me. for #1 i'd put it right where the convoy is now, and for #2 i'd put it either right there or NE one tile (on the pod)
