Prime Function's Office - Turnplay Discussion

[Maniac]

Ah that's great. Two previous classmates of mine went to study aerospace engineer as well last year, I believe in Delft.

I will check, but I think automatic placement. I will check and see which is better next turn.

[Maniac]

I have a last minute suggestion. How about temporarily switching production to the PTS in Logic Loop? See my reasons in the SP problems!!! thread.

[Maniac]

Err... Despite that the turn has been up for more than 36 hours, and despite that Drogue has already been online in that time, the turn hasn't been played yet. Any problems?

I am pretty sure that it is automatic placement. When I wrote my orders, I included a line to switch production to the nutrient square. I judged it to be worth it, given the faster growth, but you may make your own judgement (IIRC, we lose 1 mineral and 1 energy per turn, but gain 3 nutrients, allowing us to grow in 3 or 4 turns).

[Maniac]

We lose 1 mineral but we will gain two nutrients and one energy.

[Corellion]

Ah, sorry. In any case, my point still holds that it's better to switch.

BTW, should we continue waiting for Drogue, summon Function Delta, or should either you or I play the turn?

[Maniac]

You or I playing would be the fastest I think.

But though for most things the orders are in, there's the issue of Logic Loop. Should we keep producing the WP, or should we switch production to eg the PTS to try to deceive the Hive?

[Corellion]

Switching to the HGP is probably the best idea... but they may not rush (thinking we just started, and feeling confident that their crawlers will work in time).

BTW, you'd better play the turn. I opened it before so I could see what position we were in (and thus compose my orders, etc.), so if I submit my file to be played, it will register that I reloaded.

[Maniac]

Switch to the HGP, not PTS? (Just checking if you wrote right. I don't really see the reason for doing so. )

Anyway, I started playing the turn some five minutes ago, but I will have a reload message as well...

[Corellion]

Whoops... I meant start the PTS. Argh.

[Maniac]

Ah ok. In that case we have unanimity, and I will post the turn in the turn tracking thread.

I am sorry for that For some reason, my computer did not show any new posts in the Turn Tracking thread, and when I clicked to check it did not show the new messages, until Maniac posted, which I have just seen I am very sorry for that, quite simply, I had no idea the turn was up. It may be because I had turned off cookies, as I used it while at work too.

Now for the other news, I will, as planned (but only confirmed yesterday) be in Florence as of Tuesday, for 1 week. Obviously another Function will need to take my place as acting Prime Function then. Sorry about that. However, when I get back, since I now have a 2 evening a week job, I have all days a week free, and so should be far more active Free time finally

Thank you for your patience. Things are settling down here now.

[Corellion]

Hmm... Function Delta would be the person in line to take over for you, but he seems to be rarely online these days.

....sorry about that...i didnt noticed it...and i am rather buzy with getting used to doing something for school...but ok...i am sorry...
