Here there be Pirates - Turn tracking

[Senethro]

As per Darsnan's specifications...

- Huge Map, 80-90% ocean
- starting positions would be "archapeligos" (as opposed to the traditional open water starting positions for seafaring Factions)
- Sea Monoliths
- Sea Boreholes (pre-built, accessibility varies)
- Subs available w/ Doc: Init
- Carriers available at Doctrine Initiative. (Heh, my own discretion. Hope you find them useful there!)
- 4 human players
- beefed up AI's: AI have boosted faction properties, bonus starting units, a small number of satellites, boosted starting positions. They are also inclined towards cooperation. Be very aware that in the high-nutrient environment of this game that they expand like crazy after filling their home archipelagoes. I strongly advise putting a landbase on the islands that are yours.


The Players

-Darsnan - University -xxdnandal@twcny.rr.com
-Hobbes - Cyborgs -jcrocombe at aardvark.net.au
-Chaos Theory - Gaia - ELECTRONIC MAILING ADDRESS GOES HERE
-Hercules - Cyborgs -xxcathal.mullaghan@ntlworld.com

All of you begin with 3 sea colony pods and a few other units. In addition to your normal beginning techs you each have Doctrine: Flexibility. Darsnan, I hope you won't mind me taking the liberty of selecting your Uni free tech.


A final note: I temporarily gave one of the AI orbital spaceflight in order to add satellites. Though taken away again, this AI is apparently able to build Planet Busters.

As the CMN, I do not see this as being a problem. Perhaps it is even an opportunity.

I think you got Darsnan's and my factions backwards. As long as Darsnan hasn't opened his turn, this isn't a problem, as we can just switch. Otherwise, it might just be easier to continue as is.

[Senethro]

Lucky for me I was waiting on your email before sending it out. I'll make the necessary alterations...

Edit: the turn is out, your passwords have been PMed and the custom factions emailed.

[Hercules]

I got the aquafactions, all mega bytes of them.

I got a save.

But I didn't get the password.

Senethro: A big thanks for all your work on this. It has the prospect of being a really exciting game.

[Senethro]

Sending a PM....

[Hercules]

Ok I 'got the password and played the turn.

Note there will be a reload warning as per explanation. As I hadn't received a password I opened the turn, thinking to set my own password but that wasn't how it was set up.

I didn't notice a PM had been sent with the emails advising me of the password.

I have sent the next turn 2102 to the Gaians. that is. Chaos Theory.

Have a good game everyone.

I thought I had selected Gaians for this one as well. Any chance you want to switch Factions, CT? Or we could start over with correct factions. Up to you guys.

Requesting clarification. With 2 games being arranged simultaneously in one thread it is more than possible I've made a mistake.

If I get an answer before tonight I'll be on the correct computer to make up the game again.

I'm going to have to apologise for this. Even at the best of times I'm disorganised and erratic in my thinking, I'm very used to having to clear up messes I make.

[Chaos Theory]

I like both the Gaians and the Uni, so I'll play either, but I reread the setup thread and I'm pretty sure I picked Dee and you picked Zak. I haven't touched my turn yet, so we can still just swap.

Yeah but will you not know the Gaian password and Darsnan the Uni one, and then vice versa.

I do not remember the password Senethro assigned me for the Uni's (only glanced once at the PM). I also feel safe with CT possibly knowing my password.

Regardless, what it is is what it is. We can game on with CT playing Gaia and me the Uni's as far as I am concerned!

So who should be doing what here?

OK, I read the original thread and it does have Chaos choosing the Gaians and me the Uni's. Been so long I just couldn't remember it right!

[Senethro]

So can we see some action now? Does anything else need resolved?
