Well, I'm fairly damn happy with my new system - calculating all player's turns simultaneously with the assistance of an interger generator took me less than ten minutes. I'll write and release all faction reports this evening.

All turn reports have been sent. A new game thread addition by me may or may not be added this turn.

Turn Two orders are due Friday the 7th. I may going away that weekend, so won't get much time to work on the turn, though if people can submit turns earlier, I can process the turn sooner, and have it done by the Monday, with a bit of luck.

A quick note of clarification (as one player has asked me this, and others are probably wondering) - Supply consumption and generation is calculated at the end of every month. Turns represent one week. This is done to cut down on book-keeping time for me, to make the game run faster, and to leave a degree of uncertainty for players.

After much deliberation on my part, I have decided to make STAFF a new order. You may find it in the order list summary. Players need not worry about any elements they have staffed in the first turn, this rule applies only from Turn Two onwards.

So that all know - we now have a seventh player, starting on turn two. I'll allow that player to introduce themselves, however.

Received and it looks all good.

I've had a few enquiries about element sizes, so I thought I'd point something out - 1 element always has more than one person in it (the only exceptions are Commander Units and spies). So, if a player has 3 Cannibal Raiders, this does not mean there are only 3 men/women in that group. Most likely, there are between 15 and 30. Military units generally have around 5, scouts usually have about 3, workers can have up to ten people in an element etc etc.

1 unit of PEOPLE is roughly equivalent to 5-20 people (counting the infirm or the too young). So, if someone has a dozen elements and 30 PEOPLE their faction probably has about 400 people in it. Though players should not concern themselves too much with just how many people are in this or that unit - in all likelihood, the same kinds of squads would have different numbers.

Also, a reminder - orders are due tomorrow...sooner means I can process the turn this week.

Hmm. I had entirely forgotten about the time difference--it's already Friday there, isn't it? I need to get moving on my orders.
