Turns of Role Play 2: Second Thread

[RedFred]

2122 to Hobbes.

[H0bbes]

Colonel Hobbes is now CinC of the Spartan Federation following a bloodless coup. Immediate changes to priorities have been made and a new long-range plan formulated and given priority.

Turned to Sister Googlie.

Is the story thread active? If so, where is it?

[Googlie]

2122 to Tau Ceti (and tales thread bumped)

[Tau Ceti]

2123 to Hydro.

[Hydro]

2123 to Chairman Flubber

[Flubber]

2123 on to qantaga

[Qantaga]

2123 on to CEO RedFred.

[RedFred]

Immediate changes to priorities have been made...

Changing priorities is fine. Er...as long as they are not research priorities. We are restricted to our role-playing research priorities (double blind).

Turn sent on to H0bbes.

Let me make sure that I am researching in the spirit of the game. It has been my (likely incorrect) understanding that double blind was either no research priorities selected or all four research priorities selected in a blind research game (not pursuing any specific research priority).

Since I am playing Zak in this game and his priority is Discover, I have set my research priority to only Discover.

Is this correct, or should I switch my priorities around?

[H0bbes]

Yes I understand about the research priorities.

No, it was more like: "Researching the Weather Paradigm? What were you thinking? Tying up valuable resources in order to grow lettuce faster? That's it, your command is up."

...

All communications to the Spartan Federation may now be directed to the new CinC: Colonel Hobbes.

[Hydro]

Research priorities should be your faction's priorities (e.g - Gaian: explore, PK: explore/discover, etc). This was done to keep the faction 'flavor' as much as possible. Hopefully this didn't get garbled somewhere...

Thanks Hydro!

I just wanted to make sure I was playing by the spirit of the game. I have had Zak's research set to Discover since planetfall.

[Googlie]

2123 to Tau Ceti

(and I have had the Believers' set to *run for your lives* as an incessant stream of mindworms chase every colony pod and scout across Hell's (well, Chiron's, actually) half acre

That's one reason I haven't posted anything to the Tales yet - there's only so many times one could say "ran to escape a mindworm" before a reader shut it out (and also why I have so few pop compared to everyone else - they're all in transit huddling in fear)

[Hydro]

G,

Well, I am certainly not running from those cute, frisky little mindworms - I just have the WORST territory I've seen on DD's map. Ack! I can pity your Believers, though, since we at least have had formers for a while now.

[Tau Ceti]

2124 to Hydro.

There are quite a lot of worms over here too. But no serious casualties yet.
