We have a name, little one. You would do well to remember that.

:EDIT:

On another note, now that we're commencing registration and gameplay soon, does that mean the rules are completely posted?

Good start!!

*ducking head*

I will strive to do so, spokesperson (chief?) of the Patwa.

I seem to be creatively barren lately. I can't think of a single idea relating to my group for this game, except that they might be called the [something] Collective.

There will definitely be a public turn write-up. This will done in the style of a historian's narrative, written some years after the events in the game. Everything in the 'document' will be considered common-knowledge, however. There may be some other ways of presenting info that I choose to use. You're welcome to lurk, of course.

Basically. I just have to add an "Example of Play" section, so players can see how the game works. Should be done today.

Well that's something . . . ;)

Any help wanted, and I'll be glad to give it.

My thanks. As long as people don't find them too confusing, I'll be happy.

The image of the Sanctus Spiritus Church is brilliant. Any faction info, art etc which players post regarding their factions will be duly rewarded in game.

The Rules section is now complete. All game queries should go to that thread now.

Have been working flat-out this week. Will have all unit details done by Saturday morning. Those players who email me some faction info by Friday will receive due consideration for unique units.

After players receive their unit details they will need to make their choices and email me the info by the following friday. This will be the first official turn.

Gentlemen . . . I'm just working on play balance issues with all the units and structures. As such, you may need to wait a few more days before I can finish all the faction details and post them to you. I'd rather the game worked before we played.

Sorry to delay, but I think you'd all be happier this way.

Also, Waste Nomads will get their details first, followed by Cultists, then Shelter Dwellers. This should be for obvious reasons.

Yeah, seriously - you'll get the stuff in four or five hours, I'd say. I will release the Waste Dweller info tonight, the Cultist info tomorrow night, and the Shelter Dweller info the next. All players will have the deadline of next Tuesday night (it's Wednesdat night here in Aust) to make their decisions for starting forces. The Waste Nomads have a headstart on the other factions, as they are supposed to be the best informed.

All three Waste Nomad players should have their starting disposition details. I have emailed these to Balon, Murrin, and Shadowstrike. Loremaster shall receive his cult details tomorrow. Please let me know if you do not receive these.

You have until Tuesday night to indicate your choices.
