Exactly what I was wondering. Reading that first turn is really pumping me up for this game. Nice work Lore!
It will be Friday. I am glad you liked the email, by the way. You have a great race.

Now, the research/tech issue.

You purchase a research - whether it is in Military, General or Special. Then you chose whether it is level I (standard), II (good techs), or III (powerful). Each level costs a certain amount of creds (so III is more expensive than II and I). Once that is purchased I determine what tech is discovered. Does that help?

I've had a couple of Survery orders, but I need to point out something. It doesn't cost a thing to move a starship/warship or a fleet. But it does cost to survey a system. You can't issue the order "explore C6" without spending CCs. Further, when you submit the orders for the turn, could the players please state the action and how much it costs? That is, budget the orders.

Thankyou!

I'm hoping the piece about the Delucrii I just posted is suitable for its purpose. If something less literary and more straight-factual was needed, I can probably come up with something. I did get a little carried away, heh.

Edit: thinking about it, I probably should have included a couple of game-related data.

Looked good to me. I kept most of my game data out of it. SECRET. :D

Yeah, good entry. Enjoyed the Krullen one too actually.

Uh Lore...Deadline...whose Friday? Friday, July 13th 12h00 GMT? Or Friday midnight GMT? (Cause you're in some crazy timezone...GMT +8 or 9 or something.
Now because You have led me astray, I shall surely sit in ambush for them on Your straight path.

Bingo. Please check your pms, FT.

Everyone, please note that I have adjusted some budget costs (especially surveys and ship costs). :)

Okay, the turn coming is Turn One. This means that it is the financial turn. So, you all will receive more money (including trade route income). After that, turn two, there will be no money until the next financial turn (3). And so on.

Second, I have a request to make. Would someone be willing to maintain an historical record? I want everything recorded (publicly) - that means, wars, alliances, mega and minor events, etc. The person who does this will get 1 CC extra a turn.

All races (apart from LM) are done. The game is go ahead. Turn submissions are due by 12pm GMT this friday.
Don't forget to budget!
Don't forget to change tax rate, if you desire!
Don't forget to state exactly which sector you are sending your corvette to!
And if surveying - budget the survey cost!

Have changed my profile details from Montressor to Erkirithi-Sha. I doubt there will be any confusion :)

I'll de-blur my new avatar when I get the chance.

Am looking forward to starting. :D

These were the aims of The Servants of The Emperor, and these are the aims of all true Erkirithi. Long shall prevail the will of the Emperor" - the last words of Ukule-Thaid, convicted of the assassination of Chairman Kleth, 432nd cycle.

Unless I'm missing something elsewhere, there appears to be no price associated with "Build Sensors".

Story style? Or more like a timeline? I'd be willing to do it.

Kind of like this:

2420 - A plague has broken out across the galaxy - millions suffer. The Xnians declare war on the Hiberta Alliance.

That sort of thing. But you're free to embellish it, make it like an encyclopedia - whatever. :)

Bureaucracy in action. :lol:
That took me quite a long while to write, heh. I don't think I'll be trying to do it in a minutes format again.

Ahh, now that was a really fun read :D

I'd like to see more minutes from your empire, though it does offer some free intelligence :wink:

Thanks.
I knew I was giving away a little, but I figure it's not going to damage me any this early in the game.
Besides, if I give away enough free information, people might not send spies and find out the truth, hehe.
