FG: Society V: "8 is not Enough"

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay vlad is in, muxec is out, sorry muxec but you did not reply to many pms. Update in a few.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay, still have one more small problem. I usually do not read the pm's until it is time to process, I'm going to stop doing that and precheck orders such that I do not get this:

Sheep - I seriously don't know how to play this can you give me a few ideas?

for orders. Do I drop Sheep, or wait until he gives orders for R1? Keep in mind that he's been a little absent as of late.

[Ljube]

Just process his orders from left to right, skipping those you can't apply.

That's how I do GO and you are going to like it what it is going to produce in round 2

[Sparrowhawk]

Or just accumulate his $$ for this turn, and while that will put whoever takes over a serious disadvantage, I think it could be made up (I also asked Darkcloud if he would consider taking over for muxec before Vlad stepped up, maybe he would consider taking over for Sheep if necessary?)

*Spaced sneaks off to look at his GO orders again.....Whew...looks okay to me.

I'll give this a little more time in case DC wants to fill in, because it scares me a bit that Sheep is having trouble with round 1 orders. It does not get any easier.

[muxec]

Sorry for the delay... Now sending.

[Sparrowhawk]

Or with no response from Darkcloud, perhaps Muxec stays in and Vlad replaces Sheep??

Edit: Darkcloud sent me a PM reply that he is not available for Society, but if Muxec is, perhaps Vlad will replace Sheep rather then Muxec...as I stated above

Glad that you are GMing this one Spaced and not me!

[DarkCloud]

I just tweaked some settings with the firewall- for some reason I can see the map now. I think I might be avaliable... (the only reason I wasn't was because my firewall was blasting the GIF and JPG files...) If you need me, I'll be glad to play. I LOVE this game.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Orders revised to account for the fact that I'm replacing Sheep now.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay, Vlad to replace sheep, and DC to play or wait, his choice.

[muxec]

I did not really understand the way to send orders.. From order example:

City of NukeDoc (6) A2, A3, A4, A5

What eqatly does it mean

[Sparrowhawk]

It partially means that the Rules are out of date as "Nukedoc" refers to the city name, but we no longer name cities, just refer to them by their cell reference "A3" for instance.

But the Number in brackets (in this case (6) ) refers to the cost of the new city, and all of your orders should indicate to the GM what amount you are spending on that particular area of production.

The cell references are where you would like your city to go, so in this example the first choice is A2, the second choice A3, third choice A4 and 4th A5.

This gives the GM direction on where to put a city as if you do not give direction the GM will place cities in such a way so as to minimize your borders which may not be what you had intended.

At a minimum, I would suggest you put in your PM orders:
-Your starting Gold
-How much you want to spend on each area of production (and on what...if not obvious), detailed by each of the stages of production
-How much gold you wish to stockpile for next turn (if any)

If you wish more help please ask for clarification, I and others I am sure will assist as necessary, either Here in the Thread or by PM.

it means nuke the crap out of DrSpikes cities on A2,A3,A4, and A5.

[DarkCloud]

Okay, so I'm in F6... sending orders.

[:) Smiley]

No, it meant to build a city called NukeDoc. The first game had cities with names, until the number of cities got past 20 and it was a pain to keep track.
