Since the passwords were open knowledge, we simply decided not to make any.
A brilliant move on all of our parts!

Yes, you can share control of a faction. I'm okay with it.
Read the ytyke thread, mimic Googlie's behaviour. It's pretty self-explanitory.

Q:

Why don't you take over the Gaians in YTYKE? My internet access will be sporadic for the next couyple of weeks and the game will move quicker if someone else plays the G's

"password" is .............. just hit enter

[Quango]

As I'm the only one showing interest, I'm content to just forget "open book." I'll keep an eye on the YTYKE game. I was gonna get whooped anyway.

Sorry, I was going to wait for dacole until after this weekend as I said earlier. Please remove me from the game.

[Enigma_Nova]

HongHu - ever considered forming a team with Dacole?
Both of you can manage the Pirates. As you both seem to be horribly slow turnplayers, this will offset that to some extent.

Second-guessing a poor attention span...
There's the map, AI factions landmarked.
Pick a starting location.

I hope you guys won't stall the turn.

HongHu:
You are playing as the Nautilus Pirates
Your starting location has not been chosen
You need to pick one.

Quango:
You are playing as Morgan Industries
Your starting location is the Nut Bonus in the Uranium Flats

MrWhereItsAt:
You are playing as the Cybernetic Consciousness
Your starting location has not been chosen
You need to pick one.

This is the third time I've asked HongHu for her starting location. If she doesn't reply, I'll eliminate her from the game.

[HongHu]

Well I'm still waiting for dacoles. I've never played as Pirate, never dealt with aliens, never finished a SMAX game. So if I'm gonna play it's gonna be a challenge I suppose.

Will appreciate any and all suggestions.

[Enigma_Nova]

I figure that including the Aliens was the only way to have 4 agressive AI.

The main problem with this map is the Pirates.
HongHu will be able to go around the map and talk to everyone first.
Since she's an expert at diplomacy, she'll probably run away with the game.

[Quango]

I guess the flats will work as a starting spot. I like the nutrient bonus. Hopefully the aliens on the one continent will cancel each other out!

I'll just worry about the fungus alien "it" on my continent for now, though.

The AI factions play differently this time.

The Cult starts off near the Manifold Nexus
The Hive starts in the Monsoon Jungle
The Usurpers hold Mount Planet
The Caretakers hold The Ruins

There are 3 human players:
HongHu - Pirates
Quango - Morgan
MrWhereItsAt - CyCon

I leave you to pick your starting locations on the following map:

[Enigma_Nova]

Pick a starting location.
Pick a starting faction.
Rock & Roll.

Playing the Pirates, I gather you'll be starting in the Geothermal shallows.
I'll remake the map.

Well since dacole hasn't been seen in three days, perhaps your playing speed would be faster? In any case, enigma isn't in your game, and I suspect everyone else might be less... persistant in their calls for the turn.

Alright, I'll join in if Dacole does not show up after the weekend. If somebody else wants to play, please feel free anytime.

ps. But if I do could I play something else than the Hive? Thought I could learn to play something fresher. Perhaps the pirates?

[Quango]

Thanks for clearing that up. Wasn't sure if I was holding up anything. Quango

What happened to Enigma? I said that I'm going to let dacole play this one since I'm busy and slow.
