I've sent the turn off

[Chaunk]

2101 to Flubber.

Many thanks Ouro! Hopefully we'll zip through these first few turns now we know what we're doing!

I have turned off "Auto investigate monoliths", which is the reason for the reload. I'd really appreciate it if this is left off, to be used when wanted, not upon discovery of a monolith. All pod pops were the same from the reload as from the initial start.

I have the same hope and in the early days I can pretty much always turn the game on the day of receipt. As I said before though, unless I have it early, I can't play it until late.

I agree. That setting should be off . In fact, any setting that gets imported from player to player with the turn should be set to whatever is NOT automated, unless everyone agrees otherwise. I'll take a look when I play and if I change anything I'll let everyone know

2101 on to fosse

[Chaunk]

Turn?

Resend perhaps Flubber?

[Flubber]

I can resend tonight but since fosse hasn't been around to request it, I wonder if he might not have been away for a few days

[Chaunk]

Good point, I hadn't thought of that.

Speaking of being away a few days, I'll be away from Friday->Sunday inclusive this week.

Fosse may be required to leave town occaisionally in his line of work. This was certainly the case earlier this year. He normally informed us when this happened though.

Alternatively, maybe he has starved to death in front of Civ4

[Fosse]

Er... surprise swamping with work. My theatre sort of ambushed me with a ton of jobs that meant I never played the turn AND couldn't sit down to Civ 4.

Sorry, I try to be better at informing.

Turn on.

Thanks for the info-- We all have times we can't play but its nice when everyone is kept informed

Agreed, but my sincere apologies if I came across as annoyed or impatient Fosse. I fully understand that SMAC needs to take a back seat to life at times!

2102 to Flubber.

Oddity noticed though, I recieved tech points last turn from my labs! If I'd known that, I could have had my next tech a turn earlier... bah!

The commander stared over the ridge at the rugged terrain sloping away before him. Although his hands were shaking, he knew it would be ok. He was on a mission from God (â„¢). He turned around to face his six man squad. Rookies, the lot of them, and new converts mostly too. Still, many of them showed potential, especially Jones. Her markmanship had been almost perfect, much like her figure, the way it curved and... Inwardly, he shook his head. Lust was a deadly sin at any time, but before a potential battle? Fatal.

"Now then. We have a challenge ahead of us. Down there is a unity pod, and scans have reported movement. Lord knows we didn't put anything living in any of them while they were still attatched to the ship, so chances are it's not one of ours. We've been here in training for years. Now we're ready. Blake, you've got point. Jones cover from the rear" - was he giving her the cushy position, or was she really the best person for the job - "Smith and Allen, take up flanking positions, but hearing range, got that? Cruise, you're with me in the centre. Everyone ready?"

The squad nodded. The signs of stress were visible on their faces and their mouths were too dry to talk. No amount of training could prepare you for this. Death and glory, or life and dishonour? Even the hope of eternal life seemed distant to them when faced with almost definate death.

The squad joined hands and rededicated their lives to their Father in heaven. Then, they assumed positions, and left their cover, charging like men posessed down into the ravine...

~#~

"My children, you have served myself and your God well!" Father Chaunk looked down on the newly promoted squad with his face shining. Almost the entire base had turned up to the ceremony, performed under the shadow of their newest toy. The battle Ogre mark I.

"Today we have been blessed with a mighty gift. But let us not lose focus. We are not here purely for our own survival , but to find the lost and bring them home. Brothers and sisters, today is a day to remember God's good gifts, and praise him..."

I've decided to do some stories to go along with this game, since it's not a tourney or otherwise important game. Some of the information in them, you wouldn't get to know without them, but then, it'll probably be pretty minor information in any case. This story for example, merely says I captured a battle ogre. It's to your discretion as to whether you believe it to be true!

There may be the occasion section of turns with lots of story, there may be lots of turns with no story. It's kind of time & creativity dependent!

Cool-- I love a good roleplay and maybe I'll chime in as time and mood determines

[Chaunk]

Recieved the turn this morning, I'll play after work.

[Flubber]

ok but folks is it possible to speed up these early turns? I mean, from opening them to completion, it cant take much more than 10 minutes to play . . . So we should all be able to turn it within a couple of days (with the exceptionof travel and emergencies of course)
