Gufnork's Rumble

[Snowflake]

I try to do a couple turns in weekends because I can't do a lot in weekdays. And well one can always choose some moves for all units randomly and get the turn done in 15 minutes.

Fellow rumblers:

I've got a Boy Scout overnight this weekend and at least two days of depositions in Council Bluffs on Monday and Tuesday. I can get a turn in Friday night/Saturday morning and another one in on Sunday afternoon. I will then be out until late Tuesday.

Just want to make sure it wasn't me who has the turn right? I sent my turn out Sunday afternoon.

The missing broadcast of GNN is on the air!

Where IS the turn?

I haven't received the 2192 turn yet. Guess its still with Gufnork or maybe you need to resend, HongHu?!?

[Snowflake]

I have sent 2192 to Gufnork last Sunday. I'll try resend it again.

Fellow Rumblers:

Alien Crossfire is newly available in the United States. The Wal-Mart a short distance from my home had a whole stack of them. If you don't have a copy and want one (or more), I would be delighted to swing by on my way home from work and pick it up for you.

M.Y. 2192 Complete

*Public Announcement, M.Y. 2192*
The Peacekeeper secret project, The Planetary Datalinks, is nearing a major breakthrough!

Turn passed to Lord Chip of the Gaians.

Turn just sent. Please expect reload. I've been too tired I suppose. Pressed end turn (was intending to look the profiles) before I manage any and all bases, and also forgot to repaid my debt. This database thing is driving me crazy.

Question: was reading the rules and got this question:
Rule: "If a player declares vendetta upon another player, either directly or indirectly, you must not accept a pending diplomatic agreement between the two factions in the same turn. "
I've at least twice received communications from one of you explaining why a vendetta was declared and wish to change back to treaty and I have accepted. Was that not appropriate according to the rule?

[Snowflake]

Another thing, have we not got rid of the stockpile after military unit rule?

[Chip_Buckner]

HongHu et al.

I confess that I am not entirely sure as to whom the rule applies, but I'm pretty sure you are safe.

I think that if X declares vendetta on Y, directly or indirectly, X must not accept a pending diplomatic agreement with Y.

In this case, X (you) declared vendetta on Y (me) indirectly and unintentionally, but there was no PENDING diplomatic agreement. I did, however, propose a diplomatic agreement.

What do we think this means?

[Snowflake]

Ok I think we are ok then. I suppose the rule is to prevent somebody who does something that would cause vendette but then prevent the other party from choosing to react to it.

[Rubin]

HongHu: Stockpiling energy after building units is still allowed.

Where is the turn now?

[Snowflake]

Must be in gufnork's hands. I sent out my turn 9/11. See 5 posts above.
