mmmm, nice. Ok, so mine's all around instead of the forest? Am I on the same wavelength?

The plan, as I remember (may be wrong, so feel free to correct me) was forest everywhere we could, and mines on mineral deposits, then crawl? Also, have a few "science" cities with only solar collectors and ecelon mirrors to give our research a kick in the ass... (once again, if I am wrong, plz tell me, or if you have a better idea... same thing)

mines on mineral deposits

Upgrade to borehole once we can also

[Snowflake]

mines on mineral resources, farm on nut resources, forest everywhere (river square first). When finished WP secret project, start condensor, drill river and maybe borehole.

[Googlie]

I assume there have been no turn chats these last couple of turns?

[Kody]

There have been turnchats, but because I have a dodgy MSN client... I guess the good marshal didn't want to do all the copying and pasting.

[Googlie]

Aha - I've been reading these chat reports as part of my due diligence and have missed them

G.

[Kody]

Hrmm I can give you the seperate conversations between HongHu Rosk and me.

CentreICQ doesn't do multi-chats properly.

Kody

[Googlie]

Naw - not to worry. However, if I see a Hive rover making a beeline for New Jerusalem ...........

[Kody]

The chairman sends me.
09.07 09:04 Hello...
09.07 09:05 Could you please conduct this turn...
09.07 09:05 Since I made the mistake us using the "demand withdrawl" feature.
09.07 09:05 I would really appreciate it,
09.07 09:05 Post it and all.

Since I can't reply to him.
Sure, but what are we doing with that colony pod?
I can do the turn but the real problem is how much judgement am I allowed.

I think we can block the drones moving closer to our bases by moving a scout out of voltigrad.

Also I would appreciate it if you can figure out what's causing you to be unable to be contacted via MSN. Either you haven't added me or you've got one of the wierd aways set.

[Kody]

Sorry about there being no turn chat. We had several partials ones which I put the gist of into the drone negotiations thread.

Also a apology to Rokossovky and HongHu for not holding a turn chat this morning. When I woke up I noticed that the drones had replied. Nobody else seemed to be around though. I read the negotiation thread for information on what to do, then opened the file and pressed end turn.

I didn't want our turn to go much over the 48 hour mark as we might lose the goodwill of other factions. Posted the new turn after 48 hours 57 minutes.

Personally I think it would be good to pre-plan turns as much as possible. Sometimes people aren't around when the turn comes in. I wanted to talk to Roskossovky and HongHu about where the colony pod from the hive and the formers will go. I wasn't sure about some formers, so consequently the former allocation might need to be addressed. That reminds me I probably should tell you what I did with the formers. I'll put that in the turn update thread.

Actually to tell the truth I skimmed all the posts. I noticed Googlie saying "don't want the hold the turn much longer". Voltiare and HongHu saying "stay on safe side keep colony pod back". Also "we don't want them on our continent unless pernament pact".

I actually re-read the posts just now and finally noticed "we should have a turn chat". I didn't realise it was required, because I finished moving all the units except for the colony pod in the first 24 hours I had it. The next 24 hours was twiddling my thumbs and writing long explainations.

Sorry again.

Kody

[Kody]

We should have a pre-turn chat!

In these early stages we can pretty much predict everything that needs to be done.

Kody

[Snowflake]

Don't worry about that, Comrade Kody. You have done a great job as our embassordar! I knew that most of the moves have been done already. It is fun to be there when the moves are finally decided but I'm sure I wouldn't have different idea than yours. I do recommend for future turns that it should be done in a turn chat if only to avoid any oversight and to discuss any small details such as the form activity Kody was wondering. However it is not a big deal this time. We can still discuss it here in the forum.
