Turn 2159

[Mead]

Comrads

I'm back on-line.

and I will stay on-line for about an hour.

Please give m some guidnce on what you want to do.

I would like to fix the mistakes Kody noted in his post.

I would also submit to the Will of the People should they seek to have another play the Turn.

If we go with the turn I did then,

Hong Hu

You are good at teraforming. Would you be so kind as to open the turn fix the teraforming mistakes. That Borehole I started on a river, and other mistakes can be used as 'stored teraforming' for next turn.

Then let me know if you will post the Turn.

I hav to log offin about an hour so if noone more experienced is able to post this turn I will do so before I log off.

Mead

PS
If Hong Hu is not on-line or can't do it then someone else. Please let me know
.

We will always have our chances Comrade Jamski. As long as we still believe in ourselves. To me, it is not about whether a turn should be used or not. It is more about how we as a team should work together. I guess I have failed again. The Hive cannot be put together based on persons. We need rules to hold everybody together.

Hong Hu

You have no responsibilty for the Turn I played.

I did the turn. My doing the Turn was not a failure of your's.

No I was not saying that the turn is a failure. I haven't looked at the turn for I don't have access to the game here. But from what you said I think the turn is played pretty well. What I meant by saying that I failed is that I do not want to see us unable to work with each other. And it seemed that I have not been able to pursuade everybody.

You did not fail.

You are very valuable at holding the team together.

You have shown a great deal of patience with us and stuck with us as th soul of the team for long before I got here.


Can you use your teraforming/building skills to incorparate some of the changes Kody sugested and post the turn?


Mead

[Snowflake]

Thank you Mead. I do feel that the team cannot be hold together simply on a personal basis. We need to think about this.

On the turn, I can't access the game until I go home in 6 hours. And I won't be able to do the game until another 4 hours. I suggest we wait a little bit until one of the god appears. If it is ruled that we should use your turn then we can make the teraforming changes and post the turn. I will do it if it is delayed till I'm able to do it, otherwise somebody else will have to do it. If it is ruled that we can replay then we should have some extensions allowed.

Are you saying we are safe to exceed the 48 hours until we have a ruling from the Gods on which turn to play?

I trust your judgement.

If you say wait, I will wait.

Hong Hu

Please confirm. Are you saying wait until a ruling to see if we will play my turn or another player's turn?

Please let me know yes or no.


Mead

[Mead]

OK, I see your post in the open Turn Thread. I will NOT post the turn.

I will not do any teraforming corrections, or production changes.

We will wait for a ruling from the Gods.

This is a notification that the Hive may not post its turn in time. I am PMing the gods regarding an urgent internal matter. The Hive will post its turn following the rulings of the gods.

[Mead]

I'm logging off now.

I will return in about 5 or 6 hours.


Mead

[Jamski]

Thanks Mead

I've realised the problem with this team - you're all on USA time except me.

[Mead]

What's happening with the turn?

Has Googlie decided?

Hong Hu, have you redone the teraforming?

Who's going to post the turn?


Mead

[Arnelos]

I have to say that I'm rather impressed by Mead's handling of this. A lesser person would have collapsed or gotten overly defensive under the pressure. I know all too well the pressures of being a turnplayer in a DG and you're handling this crisis admirably.

While I may personally think it would be advantageous to replay various elements of the save, it may not be legal within the rules of the game to do so (and replaying saves makes me uncomfortable in ANY case). Do what you can within the rules and that will suffice.

I agree with Comrade Rubin... we need to focus on M.Y. 2160 now.

[Snowflake]

Sorry guys for disappearing on you. I had to go to a meeting in the afternoon. Will not be online tomorrow too, for I need to go out of town.

tass is on now I will try PM him again.

[Snowflake]

tass's pm box is still full and he went offline too. I'll try to find him when he is on again and talk to him.

[Mead]

Thank you Arnelos.

I looked at my save to see how it looked.

I agree with Kody in that there was one base that was all set to go into riots next turn. (there might be others that might go into riot because they migh grow a pop, I need to recheck). I think it was Octavianburg. If you look at the save i posted yesterday you can see it. It is a Pop 4 base. I changed one of the workers to a doctor. I have not posted that save anywhere yet. It would be better if it was a Pop 5 base.

Although the teraforming comments that Kody made were very accurate, I understand that these teraformers that are on rivers making boreholes can be moved next turn to the target square and devote 2 not 1 teraform turn to the target square (I think this is called saving former moves).

I did not change the base making a Net Node to another unit to something else because we would lose one min. I realize that 1 min is not much, but I would rather not lose it since the Net Node will come in handy. That being said, I am fully willing to change it to something we might need sooner. My suggestion is a needlejet. I like needlejets for the longe range recon and strike capabilities they give us.

I would appreciate a more expeianced player looking over the composition of the specialists in our bases to maximize the benefit they give us. I am used to using doctors as required, then thinkers, and Transcendents. I will use librarians to a lessor extent too.

But I realize that my skill at choosing the specialist mix is inferior to others here. I was amazed at how they were being used hen I first got here. Recently it looks like we are heading to a heavy doctor (in bases less than 5) and thinker (inbases at least 5) mix.

I know we are, as we should be, going high military unit production right know over a high research/cash outlook, but please review the specialist mix and give suggestions.
