Gufnork's Rumble - Page 13

I try to do a couple turns in weekends because I can't do a lot in weekdays. And well one can always choose some moves for all units randomly and get the turn done in 15 minutes.

Fellow rumblers:

I've got a Boy Scout overnight this weekend and at least two days of depositions in Council Bluffs on Monday and Tuesday. I can get a turn in Friday night/Saturday morning and another one in on Sunday afternoon. I will then be out until late Tuesday.

Snowflake · November 5, 2003, 13:48

Just want to make sure it wasn't me who has the turn right? I sent my turn out Sunday afternoon.

The missing broadcast of GNN is on the air!

Where IS the turn?

Rubin · November 5, 2003, 22:01

I haven't received the 2192 turn yet. Guess its still with Gufnork or maybe you need to resend, HongHu?!?

Snowflake · November 5, 2003, 23:18

I have sent 2192 to Gufnork last Sunday. I'll try resend it again.

Fellow Rumblers:

Alien Crossfire is newly available in the United States. The Wal-Mart a short distance from my home had a whole stack of them. If you don't have a copy and want one (or more), I would be delighted to swing by on my way home from work and pick it up for you.

*Public Announcement, M.Y. 2192*
The Peacekeeper secret project, The Planetary Datalinks, is nearing a major breakthrough!

Turn passed to Lord Chip of the Gaians.

Snowflake · November 9, 2003, 04:01

Turn just sent. Please expect reload. I've been too tired I suppose. Pressed end turn (was intending to look the profiles) before I manage any and all bases, and also forgot to repaid my debt. This database thing is driving me crazy.

Question: was reading the rules and got this question:
Rule: "If a player declares vendetta upon another player, either directly or indirectly, you must not accept a pending diplomatic agreement between the two factions in the same turn. "
I've at least twice received communications from one of you explaining why a vendetta was declared and wish to change back to treaty and I have accepted. Was that not appropriate according to the rule?

Snowflake · November 10, 2003, 16:41

Another thing, have we not got rid of the stockpile after military unit rule?

Chip_Buckner · November 12, 2003, 00:53

HongHu et al.

I confess that I am not entirely sure as to whom the rule applies, but I'm pretty sure you are safe.

I think that if X declares vendetta on Y, directly or indirectly, X must not accept a pending diplomatic agreement with Y.

In this case, X (you) declared vendetta on Y (me) indirectly and unintentionally, but there was no PENDING diplomatic agreement. I did, however, propose a diplomatic agreement.

What do we think this means?

Snowflake · November 12, 2003, 04:43

Ok I think we are ok then. I suppose the rule is to prevent somebody who does something that would cause vendette but then prevent the other party from choosing to react to it.

Rubin · November 13, 2003, 01:47

HongHu: Stockpiling energy after building units is still allowed.

Where is the turn now?

Snowflake · November 13, 2003, 01:52

Must be in gufnork's hands. I sent out my turn 9/11. See 5 posts above.

Gufnork · November 19, 2003, 08:36

I'm terribly sorry for halting the game. I'm having some problems in real life which I really need to tend to. I have to complete a certain number of courses before my money runs out, or I'll have to move home and give up my studies. Anyway, I don't think I can continue playing, atleast not until I've sorted this situation out.

It's a really, really bad time to go missing for me, it will be really hard for a replacement to get into things. What you do is up to you, but I won't be able to play until late January at best.

Snowflake · November 19, 2003, 10:19

Sorry to hear this Gufnork. But best of luck to you in your studies.

Chip_Buckner · November 19, 2003, 19:16

Ouch. As much as we all hate to lose you, it sounds as though you have your priorities in order. Good luck.

Snowflake · November 21, 2003, 00:38

Here we go again! Turn 2193 sent to Captain Hercules.

Rubin · November 23, 2003, 20:39

Ok, I've already sent a short summary to Hercules some days ago. Now, what's happening?

Hercules · November 23, 2003, 21:18

Short summaries from participants have been excellent. I am still assessing things.
Next turn to rubin

Hercules · November 23, 2003, 21:41

Ah I need Rubin's email Address.

*Public Announcement, M.Y. 2193*
The Peacekeepers have completed the Planetary Datalinks.

Turn passed to Lord Chip.

Chip_Buckner · November 25, 2003, 00:47

Sorry to take so long. I had gotten out of the habit of checking for a turn each morning.

Turn passed to HongHu. I'll try to put up a broadcast in the morning.

Rubin · November 27, 2003, 15:32

Hercules: Have you upgraded your SMAC to version 5.0?

Snowflake · November 27, 2003, 16:04

sorry guys. I have guests coming over for Thanksgiving. Hadn't time to do the turn yet. Will try to do it tomorrow night.

Hercules · November 27, 2003, 21:49

Re upgrade to 5.0. Don't think I need to.

Rubin · November 27, 2003, 21:57

Hercules: You need to upgrade to the version 5.0 otherwise you'll be paying only 1/3 of your upkeep costs. Your economy will be far superior to the other player's. I'm not sure how many fixes are in the patch compared to version 4.0 but Golden Ages are now able to put a base into population boom.
