Orders for turnchat 2264-2271?, 8 March, Saturday 2200 GMT

Maniac · March 3, 2003, 08:20

The chat will be held at #smacdg on the Apolyton server. As before, please try to turn up early.
And please deliver all orders asap. I just heard I have to do the turnchat. I'd like to have some time beforehand to have a good look at the orders.

Maniac · March 3, 2003, 08:47

Several Commissioners have said it is very hard to follow all terraforming orders exactly to the last turn. I presume I won't be able to do any better. Therefore I would like to ask the governors to make a list of the final terraformations you want on currently not-yet-fully-terraformed tiles. Please see the example below. When I have this in my hands, I perhaps won't be able to do all terraformations and the exact former movements the governors ask, but at least I won't perform wrong terraformations.
Thanks.

Supply crawlers

1st Concordian supply speeder under construction
- convoy nuts from the condensor farm NW of Concordia

2nd Concordian supply speeder under construction
- just pick a good nearby square with high output in one fod, but little in others

1st Pandemonian supply speeder under construction
- convoy mins from the mine E of Pandemonium

2nd Pandemonian supply speeder under construction
- convoy nuts from the condensor farm N NE of Pandemonium

1st Terminal Dogmatic supply speeder under construction
- convoy mins from the mine W of Terminal Dogma

Both Valhallan supply speeders under construction
- They probably won't finish during the turnchat, but if so just find some good square, as the terraforming will be farther along than it is now.

Formers

Instead of giving former orders, I'll just give a list of what terraformation I would want in the end, as the list of detailed former orders would become too long now they can too double the work than before. Please tell me when you want the other order format after all. If you want me to make a picture with this list put into symbols on a map of Jedinica, I'll do so.

Updated for already done terraformations. No new terraforming orders since Maniac's last set.

note: apparently several soil enrichers were forgotten when condensor farms were being constructed, please remedy this

Cedayon · March 5, 2003, 12:35

Contrary to what I thought, my Spring Break doesn't start this weekend but rather the next one, so I won't be in this turnchat, but will be in the two after that.

lucky22 · March 5, 2003, 15:47

I'll try to get my orders up tonight.

)
MAKE SURE YOU MOVE IN WORKERS TO TAKE THEIR PLACES.

8,100
-move to DEM, rush SP
-move worker to take its place

Formers
MAKE SURE FORMERS ONLY TERRAFORM THEIR HOME BASES. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT MOVE ALL FORMERS AT OTHER BASES BACK HOME, UNLESS CURRENTLY BUSY. GOTO DOES NOT COUNT AS BUSY GT seemed to have forgotten that last time, despite the large bold text and capitol letters

note: All lists should be done in the order given

UNPD:
10,92: lower terrain, borehole
9,95: road, lower terrain, borehole
11,93: forest

ZG:

8,100: road
9,99: road
after this is done, ZG formers are free to join the nearest borehole project.

DEM:
6,104: borehole
6,100: road, lower terrain, lower terrain, borehole
If these tasks are complete, convert all farm tiles to forest

Xanadu:
7,111: borehole
5,109: road, borehole
after this, forest the rest of the base radius

UNLESS SPECIFIED, DO NOT SEND FORMERS TO WORK ELSEWHERE!!! THIS TAKES TIME AS I HAVE TO MOVE THEM ALL BACK TO THEIR HOME BASES.

Cedayon · March 5, 2003, 20:05

So that's about 234ec of rushes, TKG?

Method · March 5, 2003, 20:14

yes. is that ok? if necessary i can cancel the xanadu formers

BTW, i used the war save. and if you have a problem with former orders, ask me, i'm likely to be there.

Cedayon · March 6, 2003, 09:02

It sounds like a reasonable amount to me... In the likely event that 1000ec reserve wins, however, I won't be authorizing more than ~600ecs of rushes for the first turn (since we're just above 1000, and get a bit over 600 per turn) ... anything over that gets bumped to future turns.

Though not as conservative as I’d like it to be, at least our fiscal policy is moving slightly more towards greater consideration of spending.

I figured that spending down to 400 at the end of the turn would be ok with a 1000ec threshold if the projected income would bring us back up to over 1000ec next turn... no real difference in the stockpile (we can't actually spend any of it between turns except in diplomatic negotiations, where we generally are very frugal), and a full turn difference in the building schedule.

(note: the above should read "I'll let them do it if the end result is the same when the next turn comes up, since I don't want them to kill me"

)

GeneralTacticus · March 7, 2003, 03:25

Just an update on my situation - it turns out that I may be able to stay at home and run the turnchat, although in that case if Maniac wanted to run his first chat I'd happy to let him. I'll let you know when I know one way or the other.

General Comments

We are going to have more crawlers than worthwhile resources soon in this region. A concerted effort to terraform both northwards and on the sea is vital.

GeneralTacticus · March 7, 2003, 03:38

Quote:

Change AAA missle infantry to Police plasma sentinels. (rush?)

Why? Police is useless under FM, and IIRC, they cost the same.

lucky22 · March 7, 2003, 03:42

if they cost the same, don't rush or rush the offensive unit.
Edited: Orders above reflect GT's input.

GeneralTacticus · March 7, 2003, 05:36

Oh, and something else, lucky - it would be a good diea to sue the same format as the other governors have when issuing their orders. It makes it much easier to put the orders together for use.

Lemmy · March 7, 2003, 06:57

I understand. I've obviously got a little work to do.

Edit: Orders revised appropriately.

Why thanks.

If you don't mind I would like to run it, just to have a feel how this sort of thing works. This way I, your humble assistant

, can gain some experience in case I would really have to jump in for you in some unforseen circumstance.

Twin Sea Preliminary Orders MY 2264-2271

Build Queues

Crystalis (add to existing queue)
Chiroformer
Fusion Speeder Supply
Fusion Speeder Supply

Heaven’s Gate (no change)

Mysidia (add to existing queue)
Fusion Speeder Supply
Fusion Speeder Supply
Hybrid Forest
Aerospace Complex

New Suez (add to existing queue)
Fusion Speeder Supply
Fusion Speeder Supply
Hybrid Forest
Chiroformer

Transcendence Academy (add to existing queue)
Network Node
Hybrid Forest
Fusion Speeder Supply

U.N. Research Complex (no change)

Crawlers

Any newly constructed crawlers are to move to unoccupied forest locations and are to convoy minerals.

Note: If necessary (i.e. no unoccupied forest locations exist in the Twin Sea region) move supply crawlers to unoccupied forest locations outside of the Twin Sea region and convoy minerals, with the permission of the governor of the said region.

On the same note, the administration of the Twin Sea region would like to request that its fellow regions allow the Twin Sea supply crawlers permission to enter their regions and convoy minerals back to the Twin Sea. In exchange for your generous cooperation, the less developed regions would in return receive formers from the Twin Sea regions. I ask all governors to consider this request and get back to me with their input ASAP.

Formers

Move formers to squares not already containing forests, and remove fungus (if necessary), plant forests & build roads; except in rocky areas, in which case construct mines and build roads.

For sea formers, plant kelp farms and construct mining platforms to the ocean east of New Suez.

Rush Requests
Please rush ALL supply crawlers that make it to the top of the construction queue in this turn chat which require more than 2 turns to be completed, noting that the energy credit expenditures should not exceed 200 energy credits/per turn.

Sounds good to me, our income can easily absorb that. I'll need to see the other orders before I decide, however. How many rushing ecs do you estimate Twin Sea needing for the first turn, Voltaire?

Maniac · March 7, 2003, 16:22

Voltaire, is it also allowed to let crawlers convoy minerals on a mined rocky tile instead of a forest? I believe there were one or two mines free in your region when I last checked the save.

Oh of course, I should have stated that specifically. Pretty much convoy minerals wherever they can be found.

Approximately 130 energy credits per crawler and around 5 crawlers may make it to the top of the queue, so over the entire turnchat period we’re looking at somewhere around 650 energy credits (that’s a rather liberal estimate).

Archaic · March 7, 2003, 21:15

The following are orders for the Centralis region. A full list of terraforming could take quite some time, and I'm not sure if I'd have it before the turn-chat (Someone IM me or something at archaiceternalxx@xxhotmail.com (Remove the x's) just before it starts please), so I'll post these now, and those later once I've had the time to do them.

Build Orders

New Apolyton
Add 3 Chiroformers (0-1-2*2, Super, Clean) to the bottom of build queue. Begin production of Sky Hydroponics Labs upon completion.

Director of Peacekeeping Operations orders

Region by Region

Jedinica Vrijstaat

The spaces in the build queues left for a military unit shall be filled with

Sheathed Sword
Rover - best/1/2 (Clean)

Concordia
Garrison - 1/3AAA/1 (Clean, AAA)

Pandemonium
Garrison - 1/3AAA/1 (Clean, AAA)

Terminal Dogma
Garrison - 1/3AAA/1 (Clean, AAA)

These troops are to be relocated to Egregion to be homed here as per the plan to make Egregion a specialist base.

I do not know specifics of the timeline for this development of Egregion, so Commissioner's judgement is requested on the the timetable for relocation of the tropps to Egregion, especially since that base is currently isolated.

Aurillion

Deus Ex Machina
Attack worm with Empath rover ASAP

Akiria

New Tassagrad
Newly built Missile Interceptor to Transcendence Academy

That's basically it - I have lotsa requests to Governors that it probably won't be possible to look at until next chat, so I will make a Defence of the Nation thread giving instructions to Governors later, to hopefully be taken into account from next chat.

This is a difficult job to get into, especially now, and I am following Herc's plan as much as I can in these early stages until I get a better grip on things.

GeneralTacticus · March 7, 2003, 22:12

I don't think there is a timetable yet, but I'd be happy to discuss one with Archaic.

Hercules · March 7, 2003, 23:25

Looks good
