Directors Orders

Darkness' Edge · September 2, 2002, 06:21

Could all directors please post their orders here, in preparation for a turnthread?

ONLY DIRECTORS TO POST IN THIS THREAD

Kassiopeia · September 2, 2002, 06:31

Director of Social Engineering: no orders needed. We won't have new SE choices until we get techs high enough (which won't happen for some time), and modifying the energy rates would produce no bonuses.

Vlad Antlerkov · September 2, 2002, 07:25

Crawlers: N/A until we get Industrial Automation.
Rushing: Pointless at this juncture.
Worker placings: Depends on where we settle. If at our exact landing site, then work the square 2 NW, so we can get some growth going.

If East, work another rolling/moist square (unless there's a mineral resource tile that yields at least 1 food in addition to minerals).

If West/SW or North/NW, work any rolling/moist or rolling/rainy square. (Flat/rainy will do fine, if we don't have either.)

MrWhereItsAt · September 2, 2002, 08:15

The build queue for the first Base will be

Garrison\Colony Pod\Formers (whenever we get the tech)\Scout

We shouldn't get as far as the fourth build, I hope.

We also shouldn't get a second base until we have polled on locations for it, even if the Colony Pod is built in the first turns.

That is all.

Lemmy · September 2, 2002, 09:18

That one scout should head north and pop the pod, and then continue exploring north-west popping every pod in sight, if it's not deep inside fungus.

first tech: Centauri Ecology
Backup tech: Information networks

i authorise all tech trading (except biogenetics to the university) if we get a commlink in a pod.

Anodyne · September 2, 2002, 19:40

Before we get a commlink in a pod or come across other factions in other ways - no orders

I guess my "powers" don't extend to mindworms.

GeneralTacticus · September 3, 2002, 03:13

Realease our free scout patrol for exploration duty.

Pandemoniak · September 3, 2002, 16:27

Build our second base Northwest of the large northern nutrient field. And please tell whren the next turns are played, so that directors know the deadline limit for their orders.

At the moment, I'm thinking a turnchat at 5AM Saturday GMT.

It's the one chance I've got to hold a turnchat that I can make, at a time when (some) others should be able to make it.

Alternatively, I could play another round of turns before then.

Kassiopeia · September 3, 2002, 17:26

Five AM? Is that in the evening or in the morning? If the earlier - I think I can make it; if the latter - no way. Edit: OTOH, my presence is prolly not needed...

Method · September 3, 2002, 19:04

kass...5AM GMT...so,,,,7AM Kasstime?(or 8?)

that means 12AM GMT-5...hard to judge now, but i'd like to attend if i can. is there a plan B?

Hey! I can probably be there a while. 5am = 5pm here! Just before a night out, but assuming it takes less than 2 hours we'll be sweet.

/me can't believe his eyes - a turnchat that suits ME!!!!

At this stage of the game, I'd be more than happy to take on the responsibility of ensuring some other Directors' orders are carried out, in the strange event that other Directors can't make it (you all would live 12 hours plus behind, wouldn't you?

).

GeneralTacticus · September 4, 2002, 02:49

Where would this turnchat be held?

Darkness' Edge · September 4, 2002, 03:31

It'd have to be held on IRC...I'm not fussed which server, though.

Lemmy · September 4, 2002, 03:38

5 AM GMT is 6 AM local time for me, so there is no way i'll make it, the earliest i can be there is 9 AM GMT, maybe 8

anyone but DALnet...i'd be ok with most others (but undernet seems to like me and they have a thingy in montreal)

is there a plan B for a time?

Kassiopeia · September 4, 2002, 15:53

Eck, you mean seven o'clock in Saturday morning? What are you, nuts? Snowball's chance in I'lltellyouwhere I'll be there.

Pandemoniak · September 4, 2002, 17:39

5am GMT means 6am CET, on saturday morning. No way I can get up at this time. Maybe, Ill be still awake though.

Now, please post a deadline for the directors orders, so that we can plan our discussion and polls on time.

Thanx in advance.

Method · September 4, 2002, 19:14

here's an idea: 5PM GMT and you get up early/stay up
