Borderlands - Rules Thread
Moderator: Goatkiller666
Feel free to lurk to your heart's content. Some players might even let you in on what's happening behind the scenes, though I won't do that myself, so as not to inadvertently leak intelligence.
I have received everyone's starting dispositions, and am beginning to calculate pre-game reports. I have still to do a few more location and encounter types, and then I'll get on with it. As Halal is on holidays until the 1st, I had to rush ahead and do his pre-game report first, so that he could write some orders. This is only really possible since he is Shelter Dweller player and, thus, there is less starting info for me to have to work out (which I need to tell him).
Never fear, everyone should have their reports by Monday. Turn one orders will be due on Friday the 30th. Please remember to be clear and concise with order writing, and to always specify the unit/units which are performing orders. Also, remember that your units do not start the game formed into companies.
Also - the game thread will be up soon, in two or three days. That will set the tone for future commentary, say something about the apocalypse, and give a place for players to post 'in character' stuff.

Thank you, Montressor. I already have one explaining some things to me. But any others who would be willing to do the same is more than welcome.Montressor wrote:Feel free to lurk to your heart's content.

Only some of us are tree hugging. Now stop basing your overall impression of a few (one?) player/s.

Thanks.
I have added the game thread. Please remember that the comments by my alter-ego, the historian Alexei Valliss, are written about twenty years after the events of the game. However, anything he says should be considered common knowledge.
In some game write-ups, a rumours section will be added.
Please use the Game Thread for any in character write-ups or dialogue (assuming you want your announcements to be public). All factions have radio equipment which they can use to contact other players (i.e. in the game thread, or via PMs etc). This is a game conceit to allow interaction.
Of course, effort and participation in the game thread will be rewarded, though people should not feel compelled to post there if they don't want to.
