  • "Newbie's Arrival" turn tracking thread

    This is the turn tracking thread for the SMAX PBEM "Newbie's Arrival".

    Players are listed in order of turnage:

    freshman: Gaian
    Ellestar: University
    Sentry33: Hive
    Lord_Icewind: Svensgaard

    AI's:

    Lal
    Aki
    Roze


    Difficulty: Transcend


    Here are the rules:

    All victory conditions enabled, including co-operative. However, no more than two players may participate in a co-operative victory.

    Do or Die - eliminated players are not restarted
    Non-Blind Research

    Restrictions - general gameplay:
    - A player may not restart a turn without good reason. The player should specify the reason in the game thread if he was not able to avoid reloading the turn. (Obviously, if a player has suffered some sort of crash during a turn, such a reload is unavoidable)

    - A player is not permitted to establish contact with another faction prior to having met them in-game.

    - If a player performs a probe team action other than to infiltrate against another player with whom (s)he is in a truce, treaty or pact, they must inform the probed player what it was they did and what they stole/sabotaged. They must also choose the 'declare vendetta/cancel pact' option when they perform the action.

    - A player is not permitted to make more than one social engineering change per line, per turn. For instance, one is not permitted to start the turn in wealth, switch to power mid-turn for the extra disbanded minerals, and then switch back to wealth that same turn, getting the refund.

    - A player is not permitted to use the 'demand withdrawal' feature against another player, leaving the AI the decision of whether to withdraw or not.

    - A player may not accept a bribe from another player's AI during council sessions.

    - A player may not perform multiple airdrops in a single turn with the same unit using the right-click menu.

    - A player may not use the F4 screen when infiltrated to change an opponent's workers to specialists.

    - A player may not insert stockpile energy into the build queue after the production of a military unit. Due to a bug in the game, should you put stockpile energy into the queue, you will get the benefit of the extra energy on the same turn as production of your military unit.

    - If a player declares vendetta upon another player, either directly or indirectly, they must not accept a pending diplomatic agreement between the two factions in the same turn.

    - A player may not upgrade a particular type of unit using the design workshop, and then attack with that unit in the same turn.

    - A player may not make air drops using the right click "air drop to" function, when it is not possible to do so with the "i" button, ie. after already having moved or made a drop.

    First turn has been sent to freshman.

    Good Luck to All!

      University is up

      I didn't get Ellestars email yet - so you all get to rag on him
      I'll post the turn here for him...

      And thanks to Darsnan for setting up this game (and taking my bribe for giving me a good starting position -- just kidding of course)

      BTW my email is ccooke1 AT pacbel.net

      Activity level will be most likely 1 turn per day - though faster if I get my work done and taxes - or wife goes away
