1812:Rematch, turn tracking thread
This game has now begun!
The players, in turn order, are:
This is a team game, Gaia/Pirates vs Believers/CyC. Each team has a single password to make subbing easier.
The AI factions are:
Drones
Hive
UoP
and, since the poor things are up against two teams of humans, I have given them a little extra help (they already have each other's commlinks for example).
The Map is the splendid Ultimate Builder Map, designed by Dilithium Dad. Team members start reasonably close to each other.
Starting units for each player are:
3 colony pods
3 scouts
The Pirate colony pods include a single sea colony pod.
Each faction starts with 100 energy credits.
Game settings are:
Difficulty - Thinker
All five victory conditions - On
Do or Die - Off
Look First - On
Tech Stagnation - Off
Spoils of War - Off
Blind Research - Off
Intense Rivalry - Off
No Unity Survey - On (map not visible)
No Unity Scattering - Off (pods are scattered across the map)
Bell Curve - On (no random events)
Time Warp - Off
Iron Man - Off
Random Personalities - Off
Random Social Agendas - Off
The Rules are the standard Apolyton Tournament rules, with the exception of Stockpile Energy in the build queue which is permitted.
The first turn, MY2101, has been mailed to Lady SITS, and passwords have been sent to the other players. I will be away rather a lot over the coming weeks, but if I am around I'll be happy to provide CMN services ... feel free to email me at misotu@hotmail.com.
Enjoy!

I would also like to add my thanks to Misotu for getting us started. I cannot imagine what must be involved to get a game like this underway. I have been in the Scenario Editor myself a few times and I must admit that I was totally lost.
Misotu, you are the best! 
We are very grateful!

Tremendous Job Misotu, I would like to add my thanks too.
Now on to a new life on Chiron. Come on you REDCOATS.

I must admit that I am getting a little concerned about the safety of the fair lady Miriam and her gentle followers. I am hopeful that their landing on Chiron was not too violent and that all have survived Planetfall.

Qantaga - if you want to send me both games in one email that would be fine for me.

MY2105 sent to SITS.
I had a long work day and an even longer travel afternoon/evening. Then, when I got settled, a nice ToC and a nice 1812 turn were waiting in my e-mail. So, life is good.

I Like this game. I like the ability to work together. Thanks guys.
Now, we demand (here's me demanding  ) that you bluecoats start paying us taxes immediately. I suggest that we'll start at just 5% of your income. What do you think SITS?
MY 2104 passed to Deimos
DO IT NOW!!!!

MY 2105 to Qantaga, about 5 hours ago.
 Didn't you Redcoats try that one already, cirra 1774 or so? It didn't work very well, if you'll remember.
How should we reply? 
We demand (here's me demanding ) that you respectfuly get stuffed. 
Or face the consequences: :banned:

I think tax collection should directly relate to the ability to collect it. That should happen hopefully relatively soon!

I also agree that tax collection should directly relate to the ability to collect it. Bring it on! I'll give you a right good thumpin' with my bible. Backed up with several regiments of Impact Rifles, of course.
Paper wrapped in leather bound wood only does so much good against SynthMetal armor.

Gentlemen, we respectfully decline to pay your taxes. But, we do have a few "presents" for you if you care to drop by for a spot of tea.

MY 2107 to Deimos
Just to let you guys know. I am in Portugal (GMT +0) from Sunday night through Friday Night. I will still try to access my turns every NIGHT, but can't guarantee that. Probably the best thing to do is add a third email address (for the duration of next week only) and email to me there.
Use colindarra@hotmail.com and Colin.Darra@virgin.net
For that week only stop using my vistorm address.
Cheers
Colin
