[Kody]

Rules of this thread VERY IMPORTANT:
1. No editing other people's posts (this is considered cheating)
2. Only one post per player to this thread, edit your first post to put in each new move (prevent the game from getting too bulky)
3. General discussion in another thread , otherwise it will be too difficult for me to get everyone's move
2. Try and keep general conversation in the game rules thread.

Okay vev, if you refuse to do the picture of the formation at least do the size measurements mathematically correct. Maths is usually done x then y. You've written the formation down as y then x and every time I look at it I get confused wondering where you have a 3*2 formation.

HongHu, don't take too long with your move.

Okay I know it's unfair for the game master to play,
but I'll restrict myself so that I always the weakest player.
The game works better with more players.

Restricted myself because I'm the person controlling the game.
Wouldn't be fair if I actually was trying for a win.

I suppose Healthy Herbs is better than Helicopter Helmets or Heartless H-bomb ...
Now hopefully I got it right this time ...
The initaial industry 25, is it how you restrict yourself to be always the "weakest player", Kody? That confident in yourself, huh?
Notice my initial industry?
So you noticed ... What can you do about it even if you wanted
Now the buy square struggle, isn't that interesting?
Alright, there you go. What a foresight I had when I bumped up my initial industry It is needed right here
I demand to give me the square I wanted! I have included cost according to the rule. cost = 5*(0-8) = -40. You could amend your rules but give me the square first since this is before you amend your rules.

Message Board No. 2.
Kody if you don't let people make new posts the thread may never be visited by other people and you are not gonna bring any new people in the game.

Formal complaint to the Game Administer. He has an unfair advantage of being the first person of each turn. He can summarize the turn and immidiately start his play for the new turn. Who can compete with that?

[Kody]

HongHu,

Okay Okay, the post restrictions have been removed (crossed out).

Also, since you have 0 surrounding squares around e6, it costs 40 industry to buy the square. So you cannot buy the square with 5 industry.

And yes you are correct the game administer has an unfair advantage. That's why I halved my inital industry. If I start getting too much of an advantage later I guess I'll cripple myself in another way. I decided to play since it'll be more fun for you and vev.

Vev,

You need to update your turn too.

Kody

---------------------------------

Vev,

I noticed you updated your turn.
Now you need to update it again .

No. According to the formula the cost is: 5*(0-8) = -40
You should have take the 5 when you can

I'm going to start a new thread for my next turn. This way it's already there when you update your old turns.

Edit: I changed the cost back to 5 since the rule did say minumum 5.

Kody you have 20 industry left. ie. 4 rounds of buying the same square. I have 60 left. ie. 6 rounds of buying the same square. You want to fight?

I don't see anywhere in the rule talks about a failed buy except for: "If the industry you listed is insufficient you won’t get the square". I do have sufficient industry at this moment right?

[Kody]

Okay I made a mistake when doing the formula for the rules.
You still didn't list enough industry. The cost was 40 industry not 5. The idea is it gets more expensive to buy out a square where you don't have any influence.

But since it was my mistake I'll let you have it .
Next time the real rules apply.

Sure. Every time the rules apply. HongHu is always very good at following rules.

A reminder, in the pending move of the "this turn's board" post, you had listed "K, e6,1".

[Kody]

That was the game master's mistake not the player's .

Turn 5 is up too.

This is just a record to show that Kody is cheating! His remaining industry has remained 20 for at least two turns!

Kody

The game master has made two mistakes so far. How about a new rule saying that if the game master kody made three mistakes, the player kody has to distribute 5 production to each players?

[Kody]

Industry is subtracted after the turn.

I've spend 1 industry buying free squares for 5 times. That's 5 industry used. the 5 industry is subtracted at the end of this turn. This is to allow people to change their mind or if their buy fails.

Kody

[Kody]

Give me a break.
I have to edit 5 posts compared to your 1.

NOOO! Cry for foul play!!! If you compare Vev's turn 4 you'll see that the turn 4 play is what exactly showed up in the end of turn summary. In other words, Kody's turn 5 numbers will be copied to end of turn 5 summary. That is cheating caught blood handed! Kody needs to take the penalty!

A third game master mistake discovered. HongHu's end of turn 4 remaining industry should be 60 rather than 59.

No it isn't

Rejected you need to put in the kind.
I can't tell which kind.

Your production is totally messed up.

Yes, it is. Alright I will not argue with you considering you haven't slept much last night perhaps. But don't you accuse me of cheating. (What an effective way. Attack one step ahead before being attacked. )

Vev,
Your production is totally messed up.

But it is not to his advantage. Let him go, will you?

[Kody]

The company stats aren't complete copies of what we have if you noticed.
The production information gets copied. I calculate the industry deductions myself before you do.

Vev's production is about 2 turn ahead of schedule. He assumes he's getting production for turn7 in turn5.

Yipee! What a chaos. Chaos, it is desired. Out of chaos, we creat a new orderly industrial world.

[Vev]

I am now very very confused. I thought we were playing starting from turn 0 and my turn 5 says that I bought square c1.

Exactly how many moves are done from the start to turn 6?

[Kody]

In turn 0 you got 0 production.
Production is calculated before you place a square.

Turn 1 you get 1 production. Because you placed one square in turn 0.
