Orders for turnchat 2228-2235, Thurs 2200 GMT

GeneralTacticus · January 21, 2003, 22:12

You knowthe drill. Post your orders here, chat is on EFnet, #smacdg, please make your orders last for the whole period.

The reason for the chat being held on a Thursday rather than a Saturday is much the same as before: we're leaving that night AGAIN, and I have to be here for the chat to operate.

Request to DPO Hercules & DIA TKG:

Allow, over a period of time, for the upgrading of all Centralis formers to Fungicide formers, for 30 ECs each.

Hercules · January 22, 2003, 17:18

Not sure how that effects DPO unless call on ECs or q order.

DeathByTheSword · January 22, 2003, 17:50

eh i will make orders as soon as possible....but i have little time....but they will be there in time...dont you worry

Method · January 22, 2003, 18:39

if you're going to upgrade those, first tell me
A)how many formers you have
B) how much it'll cost
C) over what period will you be upgrading.

also, can you put some kind of colony pod in TBIBTU's Q, either sea or otherwise? we're going to need a few so if i can get most the bases with access to the sea of pholus making pods that's be great (and yes, that includes FWC bases DBTS

)

my own orders to come.

Drogue · January 22, 2003, 19:02

My orders will be posted soon. I'm not sure I can make the chat, and if I can, I can only be there until 23:00 GMT at the latest.

I'll get DEI orders and Akiria orders up tomorrow evening, and in my absense, any one of the majors of Akirian bases automatically becomes acting Governor. So Herc or Kirov.

GeneralTacticus · January 22, 2003, 20:37

Quote:

A)how many formers you have

Seven, IIRC.

Quote:

B) how much it'll cost

30 per former.

Quote:

C) over what period will you be upgrading.

Doesn't really matter to me, as long as it gets done within a reasonable amount of time.

Quote:

Done.

Maniac · January 23, 2003, 09:37

My orders might only be in a few hours before the turnchat I'm afraid. I'll try to make, but I'm not sure. This chat comes very sudden and inconvenient.

Btw, GT, if I may ask, where are you always leaving to??

Are you travelling or so?

Maniac · January 23, 2003, 12:45

Jedinica Vrijstaat order, MY 2228 onwards

Hurry requests to the DIA

-[High Priority - social analysts predict drone riots in MY 2231] a hurry of the network node (in MY 2229!) being constructed at Terminal Dogma. It would cost around 100 ec.
-[Low Priority] a hurry of the rec tanks being constructed at Valhalla. It would cost 34 ec.
-I am currently building a third colony pod at Sheathed Sword (base location needs to be polled). That makes three new northern bases in the end. I was wondering, could these three be made into a new region the next term, leaving Sheathed Sword in Jedinica Vrijstaat?

Already granted requests by the DPO

-Rehome the Pandemonian trance scout defensive located at Terminal Dogma to Terminal Dogma.
-Move one of the Concordian police infantries to Valhalla and rehome it to that base.

New requests for the DPO

-Please rehome the Sheathed Sword police infantry accompanying the CP to (14.54) to that new base once founded.
-Please let one of the police infantries present in Sheathed Sword accompany the new CP to (19.59) and rehome it as well to the new base.
-Please send the Sheathed Sword trance scout defensive move to (17.59) and then follow the core group of formers to protect them against possible mind worm attacks.
-Please design a 2e-1-2 empath recon rover at the Unit Workshop.

Worker allocations

Concordia
-change one of the fungal workers at W and and SW to the new forest at (14.76) E-SE.
-remove the other fungal worker from the fields and make it a doctor

Pandemonium
-when the hab complex is completed, move a librarian back to the fields, to one of the condenser squares.
-when the supply crawler is completed, move that worker back of the fields into a doctor/librarian and let that new crawler harvest the square.
-also, when the hab complex is finished, check if there could be possible drone riots in the years following, provided the base keeps pop booming. If so, please change the necessary amount of librarians to doctors.

Sheathed Sword
-move the NW and SE-SE workers off the field and make them into two librarians.

Terminal Dogma
-when a crawler from Concordia arrives to harvest the SE condenser, change the condenser to a forest if available. If not, make it into a specialist (doctor if needed, librarian if not)
-also, if the network node rush order was not approved, check in MY 2230 if there will be drone riots next year.

Colony pods

To (14.54) and (19.59). No clue about the third. Somewhere in the northern direction.

Crawlers

Sheathed Sword crawler SW from Pandemonium (11.69), convoying nutrients
-move to Valhalla and don't forget to rehome!!!

-move back to its original tile (11.69) and convoy nutrients

Concordian crawler present at Concordia, waiting for orders
-send it to Terminal Dogma
-rehome to Terminal Dogma
-move it one tile SE to convoy nutrients on the (19.67) condenser

Concordian crawler being constructed at Concordia
-move it to (11.67) NW of Pandemonium
-convoy nutrients

Pandemonian crawler being constructed at Pandemonium
-move it one tile NE
-convoy nutrients

Formers

Five formers at (17.59) N-N-N-NW of TeDo, waiting for orders
-build road
When done, split into two groups:

->The two Sheathed Sword formers
-build a road to (14.54) along the tiles (17.57)-(16.56)-(15.55)
-then turn south to build roads on (14.56) and (14.58), removing fungus on (14.56)

->The two Terminal Dogmatic and the one Concordian former
-move back to (19.63) N-NE of TeDo
-remove fungus
-build road
-construct borehole

Sheathed Sword former at (13.56) S-SE of ShSw, buiding road
-finish road
-cultivate farm
-go one tile NE, then one tile E to (16.64)
-build road

Pandemonian former (10.72) N-NW from Concordia, building road

-move to (10.78) S-SW from Concordia
-build road
-construct mine

3 Val, Con & TeDo formers (14.72) W-NW of Valhalla

->when road is finished on the tile south (14.74), move there and construct mine
-> if not construct a solar collector at (15.73) one tile S, and then construct mine on (14.74)

2 Pandemonian formers (13.73) NE-NE of Concordia, constructing solar collector
-finish solar collector
-move to (10.78) S-SW of Concordia and build road & mine

Concordian former (14.76) E-SE of Concordia, waiting for orders

Do NOT build a road there. A waste of former time.

New requests for the DPO from Maniac

-Please rehome the Sheathed Sword police infantry accompanying the CP to (14.54) to that new base once founded.
-Please let one of the police infantries present in Sheathed Sword accompany the new CP to (19.59) and rehome it as well to the new base.
-Please send the Sheathed Sword trance scout defensive move to (17.59) and then follow the core group of formers to protect them against possible mind worm attacks.
-Please design a 2e-1-2 empath recon rover at the Unit Workshop.

These request seem sensible, but please place new sentinels back into build Qs

Maniac · January 23, 2003, 17:01

During the previous turnchat last Saturday, I posted a question in the Jedinica Vrijstaat thread what was the Jedinican citizens's opinion about military units. As I did not get any response, I decided not to construct military units unless the citizens asked for it.

Please also read this post.

Just two things that must be pointed out:

1) We're no longer at war witht he Uni, so stealing AAA would be an act of war.

2) Wouldn't it be better to get Fusion Power next? There hasn't been a tech polled so far, unfortunately.

Cedayon · January 23, 2003, 19:50

Sorry to go kinda off-topic, but I didn't want to start a new thread for something so trivial and this seems related:

Is the chat room down? I can't connect via either mIRC or the Java client.

Maniac · January 23, 2003, 20:14

Have you visited either EFnet #smacdg or Apolyton #smacdg? We are currently at Apolyton #smacdg due to circumstances, but I am also present at EFnet in case someone enters the wrong channel.

I can't connect to apolyton.net (6667) at all (I get "Unable to Connect"), although I can mIRC to everything else I've tried. I suppose I'm just doing something wrong. Gotta go though, so I'll miss the turnchat in any event.

Maniac · January 23, 2003, 20:33

Ok. Better luck next time. Hopefully one of the mIRC experts can help you with your problem.
