Googlie · October 8, 2003, 16:17

Perhaps it will be easier to open a new thread and download attachments - here it is.

GT - can this be topped and the old thread untopped and padlocked?

Original thread is here

I've done the actual game moves and put it in my forum, but I'm pressed for time because of real life issues. So leaving it to my team to do all the post-turn stuff.

It's asking for Chairman Voltaire's password, once again. If you'll provide me with the password, I'll promise not to complain next time.

Voltaire · October 9, 2003, 16:17

Here's the real turn this time.

University - 2141

Googlie · October 11, 2003, 17:41

I have asked the PUT for an explanation regarding the delay, and whether further time is requested

G.

Drogue · October 11, 2003, 20:54

Is this their first or second offense regarding turn time? Surely if they have no provided an excuse that has been accepted by Googlie in the 48 hours, that is a penalty, to be applied 12 hours after the time limit has passed (at 9:17 GMT, in 7 and a half hours) according to this and this poll. If this is their first offence, then the penalty should be a formal warning, according to this poll, and if it is not their first offense the penalty should be that Googlie opens the turn, presses 'end turn' and posts it, according to this poll. Obviously Googlie has his discression, but I thought these polls should be shown again. And IIRC PUT has once before gone over the 48 hours without explanation? Or am I mistaken?

Maniac · October 11, 2003, 20:59

I think PUT is record holder by a wide margin in passing the 48 hour deadline...
If they are over the deadline because they are discussing some important stuff that came up late, grant them more time I guess.
If they are over the deadline because no one in PUT is active or willing to play the turn, just press "Turn Complete" and send the turn to us...

Drogue · October 11, 2003, 21:24

I would give them the benefit of the rules. They have 48 hours, then a warning, then another 12 and then it is a formal warning for a first offense, and an end turn for a second or subsequent. I was not sure if they have had a formal warning from Googlie, or if they didn't have a reason last time.

Either way, it is up to Googlie, and being lenient may be necessary, but I wanted to post the rules we voted on at the begining so that every can see what they are.

Googlie · October 11, 2003, 23:53

The turn will be played shortly (by a member of the Faculty)

Minute Mirage · October 12, 2003, 04:49

It seems I'm the only one around, so I had to play the turn. Unfortunately, I had loaded the turn earlier to be able to give comments on it, so one or more reload warning are expected. I'm very sorry for the delay.

Apologies for the delay, we're having crew problems turning the fleet over to her new Cap'n (namely me

) but I hope to have the save ready by noon EDT.

(Sharing the computer with vactioning family hasn't helped me much either

)

Makahlua · October 13, 2003, 11:20

Tah-dah!

Kody · October 13, 2003, 11:23

Delay of roughly 12-24 hours on Hive game. Haven't finished planning yet.

Also the drones might perfer a zipped file *shrug*

buster · October 13, 2003, 18:02

2142 to Hive

Kody · October 13, 2003, 19:58

Diplomacy time!

And while that occurs I have more time to fiddle with the turn planning.

(like there's any secrecy now on who's met who...)

Maniac · October 13, 2003, 20:20

I think the Consciousness knows everything about everyone.

Time for a Planetary Council?

Kody · October 14, 2003, 19:47

Sorry, I just realised I have 2 hours of tutorials. Then I'll spend 1 hour trawling through all the posts that appeared during the night. I tried reading them all but there's so many.... Then another hour changing a bunch of names for the Hive's dress up party.

So expect the turn to go out in 4 hours? That's still under 48 limit.

Drogue · October 14, 2003, 20:18

Um... Googlie: It's been 26 hours

They have abotuer 22, so it's hardly a rush though.

Googlie · October 14, 2003, 21:09

Hmm - this is what my log says as the turn posting time (Pacific Standard Time, or GMT-8, if you will):

13-10-2003 15:02

LOL - right - 26 hours!!

(I guess for me time stood still during my resignation term)

G. (to whom a day is as 1000 years)

Corellion · October 14, 2003, 21:12

Yep... which was 27 hours ago now.

Kody · October 14, 2003, 23:34

turn to university 2142

Minute Mirage · October 15, 2003, 04:51

2142 to the Cyborgs.

Drogue · October 16, 2003, 11:44

2142 to PEACE

Makahlua · October 17, 2003, 16:41

Turn on it's way by email to the Drones; message from the Cuspidore BB to the Hive (because I forgot to put it inthe commbox) : Semper ubi sub ubi.

Note that you will get a reload message - PaintShop and AC don't mix well at times

Googlie · October 17, 2003, 17:02

The turn, Pirates to Drones, 2142, is actually the Hive's 2143 turn.

I don't know how the Drones' 2142 turn got skipped, but PEACE, if you have an end-of-turn save can you redo the "turn Complete" feature and confirm that it is the Drones, and not the Hive, that appear (and if so, repost)

G.

Makahlua · October 17, 2003, 17:23

I did it again from the end turn save and still got the Hive - now what? (And does it have anything to do with their name cahnge?)

Googlie · October 17, 2003, 17:35

see my "Houston" post, and explanation in the PEACE forum turn thread
