PEACE/CyCon War Report Thread - for (mostly) factual reports

GeneralTacticus · January 3, 2004, 23:43

Given that no-one else seems to have done so yet, I thought it might be a good idea to set up a thread for the PEACE and CyCon to post reports of how the war is going.

If this thread is going to be used, I would like to ask that people keep trash talk to the appropriate thread rather than cluttering this one up with it.

I'm not sure if I'm permitted to release direct information about the war, however I believe I can sum up the question "how is the war going?" in two words:

To plan.

CyCon appears to be winning the war thus far.

Maniac · January 4, 2004, 20:35

We were thinking about releasing a 3D Issue each year commenting on the course of the war. The problem is we first have to find people with time to write the articles.

Drogue · January 4, 2004, 21:50

I am now authorised to announce the CyCon's most recent military victory:

That was why I posted this; the idea was that people could just post short reports saying 'we have captured the PEACE/CyCon capital' (delete as appropriate), without having to write up an article to surround it.

we can confirm several PEACE bases liberated by CyCon taskforces...none to minimal resistance incountered...

Impaler[WrG] · January 5, 2004, 12:23

All Base names have been Changed to Protect the inocent Pirates being forcibly assimilated within.

I can confirm that our new base Triplex bears a striking resemblance to the former PEACE Capital.

Drogue · January 5, 2004, 15:28

Jamski: Here's a hint. You have a pact, and so can see the basenames of each faction. When PEACE lose a base, it will disappear from their screen and reappear on ours. Just see which this has already happened with

Oh, and this only works if we haven't changed the name

Enigma_Nova · January 5, 2004, 19:12

So how many bases have you guys pwnd thus far?
All I can see is this one extra base you have.

Then again I'm still lookin' at the Hive turn...

ARGH dammit I know the name AND the co-ords but I can't post them for risk of spying YAAARGH!!!

Drogue · January 5, 2004, 21:24

We have taken two so far IIRC.

Jamski · January 6, 2004, 09:19

Yes, Drogue - but I can't look untill we get the turn again... hurry up Drones!

Drogue · January 10, 2004, 20:28

I haven't played the turn yet Function Impaler. You're a little early

Hercules · January 10, 2004, 21:46

I hope this isn't a case of playing ahead

Drogue · January 10, 2004, 22:24

It isn't. It's that we have orders to take a base, but they hadn't been inacted yet. They now have been. The base was so lightly guarded that the units attacking had 7-2 odds, in favour. Obviously, they won

IMHO when a member would reload a few times and send a ship in all directions, and based on that information the turnplayer sends the ship in another direction to avoid discovered danger, I would consider it "playing ahead". However if for example the member of a faction responsible for military orders test-captures a base to see what would happen with b-drones etc, and also orders the turnplayer to repeat those exact same moves, I don't think there is a problem with "playing ahead".

Btw, talking about playing ahead, you still haven't explained the reload in your previous turn.

Main_Brain · January 12, 2004, 14:02

whoot??? reload?!?
Instantly kick em out! ;=)

I suspect it had to do with the planetary council

Maniac · January 12, 2004, 16:43

Ah, you changed your mind on who you were gonna vote for.

Anyway, during the planetary council turn I discovered that if you save midturn and reload that save, the planetary council pops up again and you get the chance to change your previous vote, making reloads fortunately unnecessary.

Enigma_Nova · January 20, 2004, 11:54

What base owned today?

Maniac · January 20, 2004, 11:56

BaseS.
