Nominations for first Sinder

[Hercules]

I 'll dig out some of the relevant ones.


For information, we kinda agreed that Sinder would be the common title throughout in honour of our leader: Datatech Sinder Roze

So if/when it is me it would be Sinder Hercules, (maybe) agent 002

Sinder works for me.

I disagree with Herc in there being only 1 turnplayer at any given time (see the turn rota thread) on the grounds of efficiency.

BTW no move is ever obvious. EVER!
Turnplanners need to be consulted on any new information.
The best way to do this is to have a designated 'turn chat time', with one turnplayer and the many tunplanners in IRC.

Who to contact at the last minute?
The current turnplayer must be active in the IRC channel.
So go there for information.

IRC channel is #angel e133t on www.apolyton.net .
(channel #angel, password e133t)

Can I suggest a poll with these options:

TurnPlayer1
TurnPlayer2
Both.
None. We are the Angels, we love chaos.
Write-in. Somebody else got to do it.
Xenotrouts. Or whatever the Angels' festish is.

[Enigma_Nova]

I made a list of what a turnplayer must be able to do.

Requirements of a turnplayer:
1. Consults the forum and IRC for advice
2. Plays by the plan set out by the turnplanners
3. Prompts the turnplanners when random occurance or new information happens.
4. Does all this promptly

I guess we take as many turnplayers as possible - it's the plans that need to be consistent, not the players.

Plans for random circumstances could be made on the spot by the people in IRC - it's better than having no feedback, and not as time-consuming as a forum post for every square explored.

General plans would be in posts at the forum, once the randomness is sorted.

[04:27] AdamTG02> By the way, Enigma... I heard from Drogue on the simultaneous turnplay idea and he said that it wouldn't be legitimate. He said we have to decide one specific person to be the official turnplayer beforehand, and while others can follow along in SMAX if they want, only the designated turn is legitimate.
[04:28] Enigma_Nova> But
[04:28] Enigma_Nova> we don't -have- a designated turnplayer
[04:28] AdamTG02> Then you and Maki decide on one. You're the only two candidates.
[04:29] Enigma_Nova> mememe
[04:29] * Enigma_Nova slaps maki around a bit with a large trout
[04:29] Enigma_Nova> You idle, dear?
[04:32] * Enigma_Nova smells the turn
[04:33] Enigma_Nova> No, it's a turn to one of my PBEMs. Darn.
[04:33] * Makahlua slaps Enigma_Nova around with a fresh mahi-mahi
[04:33] Makahlua> just got up
[04:33] * Enigma_Nova sets mode +o Makahlua for #angel
[04:33] Enigma_Nova> Okay Maki - you know Rock Paper Scissors?
[04:34] Makahlua> yeah?
[04:34] Enigma_Nova> Someone count us down. We need to decide the first turnplayer.
[04:35] shiny> 3
[04:35] shiny> 2
[04:35] shiny> 1
[04:35] shiny> go
[04:35] Enigma_Nova> Paper
[04:35] Enigma_Nova> ..
[04:35] Enigma_Nova> Void
[04:35] Makahlua> crap.
[04:35] shiny> here we go...
[04:35] shiny> 3
[04:35] shiny> 2
[04:35] shiny> 1
[04:35] shiny> go
[04:35] Enigma_Nova> Paper
[04:35] Makahlua> rock!
[04:35] Enigma_Nova> OWNED
[04:35] * Enigma_Nova is the turnplayer
[04:36] Makahlua> you sure we shouldn't ask the rest of the team, anyway? :P
[04:36] shiny> Wow. The first official anything for the Angels in the DG...

[GeoModder]

And now I've got to go.
See ya!

[Enigma_Nova]

Yeah, it is funny when you look back at it.
Oh well - drugs is doing the turn at the time of posting.
I guess it will all go well then.

[GeoModder]

If Makahlua would be so kind to confirm this...

Edit: just saw the confirmation in the next thread, ignore this comment.

[Kody]

That is really funny.

Data angels decide their turn player with paper rock and scissors.

Goes to add that into his newspaper.

[Enigma_Nova]

This gives us a leg-up in diplomacy.
How do we co-ordinate an attack if we Rock/Paper/Scissors where our troops go?

[Makahlua]

Make up 3 plans, one for rock, paper and scissors, then which ever one gets the most hands we go with

[Enigma_Nova]

That idea ROCKs. I suggest we make a PAPER about it.

[GeoModder]

[worry]
Time to dig up the scissors and have a cut in the plans of those youngsters onboard...
[/worry]

[Enigma_Nova]

I rescind the idea of a paper.
But the idea still rocks, and as such, defeats any attempt to scissor it in two.

[Hercules]

Ok Cut it out, wrap it up or the crowd will stone ya
