FG: Galactic Overlord 9 - The Golden Age

[snoopy369]

Orders sent.

Also, is there any way you can shrink that table some? It stretches the Poly table too much for a standard 1024x768 screen ...

Please note that JAMSKI is running this game, not me.

Smiley, you're totally ruining your advantage here ...

[Jamski]

As of when have we determined the disposition of bases by who sent a larger portion of fleet? This is something that needs to be clarified in the rules, Jamski, directly, as it's caused problems in the past, as well.

GM's discretion if the players have not done as they were meant to and sent sharing orders along with the OoB.

No, not really... well I could, maybe, next round. 1024 is a rather low res these days though.

Jamski, I volunteer to do the editing of the rules. When I have done that, I will post the rules in this thread. All you should do after that is integrate them in the first post.

In the last game when I was not given specific instructions on this, whoever had fewer bases got the extra base from conquests.

1024 is still standard, and Poly is still set for that default resolution (note the max image size of 800 wide, which fits the table perfectly at 1024). Perhaps many gamers now use larger resolution, but I guarantee you that a survey of all users finds most at 1024.

And I think the rule of who gets the extra base needs to be explictly defined and written in. Several games in the past - notably the NO game on eventis - have been adversely effected by the lack of clarity. This is something that can change the game significantly, and should be clarified and known to all at the beginning... It's something that players rarely send in their orders, and are not required to.

Quote from the rules:

If not otherwise specified, multiple bases captured by an alliance will be divided up evenly between the fleets that actually arrived. Odd bases will be assigned to the members of an alliance that sent their orders first. Players may choose to redistribute them afterwards if they wish.

This is how I used to distribute odd bases.

Other suggestion: Just attach the tables, don't use photobucket, which has a low bandwidth limit.

The tables are HTML directly into the post. They use 'poly bandwidth. Means I can edit and copy them easily. The tiny weapons images are hosted offsite, and are 1k each, so I'm not having a mad panic about bandwidth there

This is how I used to distribute odd bases.

Well, Jag sent first so he gets the odd base that way too, Ljube. But this is a GM discretion area of the rules - the players should have decided this in advance. Feel free to decide it how you like when you are next the GM.

Ditto feel free to adjust the look of any tables etc when you are next the GM

That's the last time I let Jaguar argue me out of shielding.

I will remember to include this in the latest edition of the rules.

Breaking out of hyperspace with his entire fleet, Basilius Navinwinat attempted to restore the fallen empire. However he ran straight into an experimental shield device operated by Dr Point and lost 1 Lasercruiser before he could stop in time. Dr Point is rumoured to be delighted with his design.

Oh dear, did I accidentally draw attention to something that makes Gamecube an obvious target? The update that shows that he has no shields?

Why yes, I did! It's an especially silly thing to do because he is weak from building a fourth base, and he can't protect it because he has no shields! And I put it in bold, too! Silly me!

[Atragon]

*sigh* 3 attacks on turn 2, what have I done to deserve this?

[Jaguar]

Nothing. I'm sorry, Atragon. You used Fighters like a man. I respect that.
