Unfinished Business turn tracking thread

[Darsnan]

status report: I received the wrong turn from Chaunk on the last send. I contacted him yesterday, but still have not received the correct turn from him. FYI as to the current situation.

I tried to send it last night, but my mail server was being funny. I'll resend shortly.

Edit: Resent. 2112 CCS also to CS.

[Chaunk]

2113 CCS to CS.

I'm just making sure I'm projecting my might onto the powergraph. You seem to be a powergraph watcher, so I thought I'd do some intimidation Seems to be working so far!

hmmm, i think four players could be ok, but it i'd miss the all human action of a 3x2. 4 humans with 3 AI, and a slower turn speed is unimpressive somehow.

OK, how about Googlie's idea of a "Forced Faction 3X2" game whereby each of your opponents gets to choose one of your two starting Factions? Googlie's also fleshed it out a bit more with a neat idea whereby you get to "buy" some starting units to begin the game with. Here's a suggested list of what you can "buy" at the beginning of the game:

Per Team of 2 factions:

You start with just a single colony pod, and fill your "shopping cart" with what else you want to start with - units, techs (just your own regular starting tech, though), even bid on an SP or 2. Thus (with a budget of 1500 "credits") you choose:

1 Colony pod is a given - everyone starts with a free one for each of their factions. Teams then have to buy everything else to start from the following shopping list:

> a scout costs 100

> a terraformer costs 200

> a synthmetal sentry (needs Ind Base as a tech) costs 200

> a rover probe team (needs Plan Nets) costs 200

> each colony pod or seapod (Pirates only) costs 200

> a mindworm costs 100 (Cult only)

> a Unity Gunship costs 100 (Pirates only)

> a Unity Foil costs 300

> each tech costs 200 (can only buy your factions' starting techs)

> you can bid on 1 or more of the 4 early SP's (ME, CN, WP, HGP)

Submit your wish list to me as soon as you've developed it (especially bids for SP's)

Regardless, Googlie is gonna be OOT for 3 weeks beginning in mid-August, so I'd say we should at least determine our next game, have Googlie set it up, and if need be we put it in the freezer till we finish this one (which at our turn pace will probably be done before Googlie gets back! ). I'm enjoying this game, and am not too concerned about the format for our next game - I just don't want the same old same old, cuz I've played enough of these games....

That sounds terrific Darsnan; I am more than comfortable at playing the 4 way AS well as the 3x2 -

your the one with the heavy load though so its your call.

So you two in the south can't play nice together, eh? For shame....

On to ChairmanSlick.


OOC: it seems as though I am not getting notified when I receive techs via the PDL! Just curious, but is anyone else receiving notifications when the Gaians gain a tech?

---Darsnan, i haven't been getting messages, but i'm sure u can figure it out, just check ur techs each turn.
