When playing the official 2103 turn, can you go into the game preferences and deselect always investigate monoliths

Thank you.

Just played the second turn, unfortunately our gamble didn't pay off, though nothing bad occurred, so nothing was lost. The pod has mineral resources, and another one to the north revealed one more monolith.

We're currently producing a Scout Patrol (2 turns until completion), because pop. growth will occur in 9 turns, and it would take 8 turns to complete a Colony Pod.

One colony pod is moving north, and another west (towards the rainy side of the mountain).

And we are currently researching Centauri Ecology in order to get formers ASAP. In the mean time we need to decide on the tech that will follow. Granted we do have time to plan, and by the time we have to decide we will have a more complete map of our surroundings.

It looks like there might be a bit more Xenofungus in the North then would be healthy. Perhaps we should concentrate on a South West expansion?

Can you sticky this thread Chairman Voltaire and put a picture in for every turn? Please?

Unfortunately I did not save a picture of this turn, but I will make a note to do so from this moment on. Also following next turn all turns will be reported in a new turn tracking thread (to be created next turn).

thanks a lot, Chairman. I can't see what's going on in the game and really appreciate a summary of what's going on (pictorally).

Voltaire · May 17, 2003, 03:57

I would have done it this turn, but I'm on the new computer and have yet to install a decent photo editing program.

Jamski · May 17, 2003, 04:03

I'm too lazy to go into the next door room and get a "legal" version of Photoshop for you

(now that would be a big attachment)

Frankychan · May 17, 2003, 04:07

I can't access what's going on in the game so I'll need a summary of what the plans are...sorry if I'm not that efficient of a citizen

I'm too lazy to reach for the CD and get the "legal" version of Photoshop to install.

Hell, I'm too lazy to type this post

The game will shortly be restarted from 2102

To deal with several issues, the game will be restarted (same start positions) with a new password. Before posting this in a thread in this forum, I'm awaiting MarkG's confirmation that General Tacitus (who currently is listed as a co-Moderator of these private forums) will be blocked from all but the Uni (he's a member of that team)

The replay shouldn't take long - I'll be checking to ensure that moves are identical (subject to a possibly different podpop result)

Googlie · May 17, 2003, 13:13

Let's get the restarted turn up to date while we're waiting for MarkG.

We'll do it like a regular PBEM - I'll e-mail the passwords to the turnplayer with instructions to send the turn on by e-mail to the next in line.

Don't post the passwords in your private forums until MarkG's confirmation.

Voltaire: - I need an e-mail addy for you (I can't hang the turn on a PM nor on this forum) - send me something (anything) to:

googlie@canada.com

and I''ll fire the turn and the password to you

The revised Hive, 2102 turn has been hung on the general turn reproting thread

The new Hive password has been PM'd to Voltaire

What a pain in the bum. We'll have to wait a week probably untill we get a turn again, even though everyone will be repeating orders.

Googlie · May 17, 2003, 15:42

It should move quickly.

If it stalls, one option would be for me to play all the already played turns using the new passwords (as I have copies of all the turns to date)

But I'd rather an official faction player got a perhaps different podpop result than have me notifying him of it
