Not much to report. Changed the former at Voltairograd to colony pod. Moved some ****... 'bout it.

Voltaire · June 2, 2003, 18:22

The Chairman is pleased.

-Chairman Voltaire

Jamski · June 2, 2003, 18:52

There wasn't much to do wrong

-Jam

Rokossovky · June 2, 2003, 18:53

We only did what we thought you would do in our position, Glorious Comrade Chairman.

- Rokossovky

Frankychan · June 2, 2003, 19:27

alright alright. Chairman knows best.

Vev · June 2, 2003, 20:27

Any veterans like to suggest next base site?

Rokossovky · June 2, 2003, 21:43

Might I suggest right on the nutrients to the north west of the rover? It would have two mineral resources and be located in a nice lush valley with the big plateau on the other side. Just an idea, not my deparment.

That does look like a good site for a rover.

Hmmm?

Frankychan · June 3, 2003, 15:54

I'll agree that the next city should be somewhere NW of the rover's current position. Right now those mineral bonuses and nutrient source look very appealing right now.

If not there, the next possible base location should be somewhere near the northern nutrient source, above Voltairograd or somewhere near the westernmost scout.

Static Universe · June 3, 2003, 16:03

Comrades,

I concur on building the next bases to the NW near the two mineral resources.

Might I also suggest sending the scout in Fellowship City one space to the Southeast down that river to find out what might be in that unexplored territory in the base radius?

Octavian X · June 3, 2003, 18:22

It appears that I need to learn how to proofread my own posts, and that I need to stop multi-tasking...

I concur, that looks like an excellent city site.

Jamski · June 7, 2003, 05:42

God alone knows where everyone's been, but after 24 hours I just played the turn myself. Nothing to report, the units kept on thier goto paths, and the rover has encountered some MINDWORMS. We'll see what happens with the worms next turn...

No new tech, no new units, nothing really except finding some worms

Where is everyone?

-Jam

Octavian X · June 7, 2003, 14:18

Well, no wonder no one else was on. It might've beem 1 PM for you, but it was 3 AM for the rest of us.

Next time, don't be so afraid to go it alone. Holding up the game is not the best way to keep friendly relations with foreigners.

Frankychan · June 7, 2003, 17:14

Why does it seem that my timezone is the only one "out of whack"?

Jamski · June 7, 2003, 18:06

We're spread around the world fairly evenly. After noone was on for 24 hours I played it.

-Jam

Frankychan · June 7, 2003, 18:22

Sounds like a plan. Well, since you are the Deputy Chairman, it sounds like you did your job!

Jamski · June 7, 2003, 19:01

Someone has to do my job. Like me

-Jam

Frankychan · June 7, 2003, 19:39

Rofl.

Freekin' guy...erm....comrade.

Octavian X · June 7, 2003, 23:14

Well, isn't Comrade Chairman Voltaire gone for the weeked? I think you can make an exception to your rule, Comrade Jamski.

Voltaire · June 8, 2003, 15:08

Rejoice! Comrade Chairman is back from his camping trip!

I'm certain I've been sorely missed. And Comrade Jamski, I left you with the power to play the turn in my absence, I'm certain I posted it somewhere.

Rokossovky · June 8, 2003, 17:13

Yea was also camping. Back now.

- Rokossovky

Rokossovky · June 8, 2003, 21:26

Evening all!

The Glorious Chairman and myslef played this turn just a while ago. Our glorious RASPHH defeated some 3vil mindworm scum, while our scout found some more 3vil mindworm scum to defeat next turn. (YAY!! MORE ENERGY CREDITS!) Our colony pod will FINALLY be done at the hive next turn (*much anticipation*). On a similar note... anyone who hasn't voted for me as a PAC member should do so now.

Rokossovky · June 8, 2003, 22:00

Just a few thoughts...

Possible base sites? Once again not my department, but some thoughts...

Octavian X · June 8, 2003, 23:10

I'd move the green base north one square - between the nutrients and energy, so that it would fill in the space better, and have access to two nutrient-rich squares.

Also, I'd move the blue up the green hillside, just because there isn't much on the other side of the valley.

Rokossovky · June 9, 2003, 00:37

Yea, that's true and we'd have more efficient land usage to the north east there. However there would be 2 squares overlaping with the blue base... do we mind doing that? What's the opinion around here? (the BEST place would be right where that flipping energy is on the water... *grumbles*... who needs water anyway, :P

)

I concur with this base placement. There will be some overlap, but it won't matter early in the game. And we should have many, many cities later so it sholdn't matter then either.

On the other hand, if the plan is to backfill the area later with new cities between the ones we have now, as I believe Comrade Jamski suggests, we should build them slightly further apart to maximize the useful area.

The purple city is a possible future location, which may be moved back 1 tile southeast so it's right next to the nutrient resource.

I just didn't post any pictures.

I declare that glorious cities will flourish at Red & Yellow

Vev · June 10, 2003, 02:25

With lots of baby cities surrounding them.
