Forced Faction 3 x 2 - Turn reporting thread

[Googlie]

Yes - it helps to have those faction colones and their graphics in your folders (not necessary to put them in your alphax.txt file unless you wanted to start another game using them - it's sufficient just to have them resident so that the game engine can find them for the game)

The game has started!!

2101, Believers, has been sent to Chaos Theory. Passwords have been e-mailed to all.

Turn order is:

Believers (Chaos Theory)
Pirates (Hercules)
Cult (Hobbes)
Peacekeepers (Chaos Theory)
Righteous (Hercules)
Corsairs (Hobbes)

I playtested to around 2150. It is a very interesting game, and you certainly have to bring some fresh ideas to the playing of it!!

You have the commlink of your other alter ego, but I didn't set up as treaties or pacts, to give you the maximum flexibility

Good luck all

[Chaos Theory]

2101 -> Sven

I will be gone from July 3 through July 11, FYI.

[Hercules]

turn 2101 to The Cult.

Have a good game everybody.

Somewhat belatedly:

Suggested Rules (the Forum Wars set):

> Multiple reloading of the game to try for different effects is forbidden. If a reload is necessary because of a game crash etc., an explanation should be posted to the turn administration thread.

> Multiple drops or orbital insertions using the right-click menu is forbidden. So is airdropping from outside a base/airbase, or after having moved (except on a magtube) using the same method. Using the 'i' key when you want an airdrop means you will automatically comply with these restrictions.

> Inserting Stockpile Energy into the build queue after a military unit is allowed.

> If a player employs a tactic that causes a state of vendetta, they are not allowed to "accept" a pending diplomatic agreement with that faction in the same turn, causing a change in diplomatic status or the transfer of energy or knowledge.

> If an aggressive probe action (anything except infiltration) is used you must advise the victim that you have taken covert action against them, and let them decide what consequences should follow

> Upgrading units with the design workshop is allowed at any time

> Communications only allowed between factions that have obtained each others' commlink frequencies in-game. (the embedded alpha.txt will reflect this)

> Social engineering choice limited to one switch per line per turn. (no flip-flop within turn - eg to green to capture a mindworm then back again to the original setting!!)

> Psi units cannot be assigned multiple point patrol routes (avoid instant demon boil bug!)

> Whenever the planetary council is called, the caller should post a notification to the thread, including vote totals (if applicable) and who has already voted for what. The other players should post how they vote.

> You cannot use the "Demand Withdrawal" feature to get another player's units out of your territory (the AI essentially makes the response on your behalf)

> You cannot accept a proffered bribe (which is done by the AI again) during Planetary Governor elections

[H0bbes]

Hmmmmmm, off to a very slow start!!

[Hercules]

I thought I posted I had sent 2101 to Admiral Nelson ( Hobbes), but on checking, I hadn't even sent the turn.

Now rectified.

Turn 2101 to Admiral Hobbes.
