He knows.

Just too busy to do so. The map won't be updated until Turn 8 has been processed.

If anyone wants to know which grid points were revealed specifically on turn seven, PM me, and I will let you know.

One turn down, five to go. That player had a good turn too.

Though I will be 50% done by the end of the night, I won't be able to get the results out until Friday the 7th of March. Sorry, guys. Just have to move apartments, and will be without a net connection for a couple of days of that.

Interesting turn.

There has already been one pitched battle, and it looks promising that there may be a couple more. Some people are doing well for food. Others are staring at the last few grains of rice in the barrel

I thought Australians were efficient and hard working? oh wait..

Dude you made the amateur mistake of getting Aussies mixed up with Kiwis.

Besides, whoever says that about aussies was obviously observing kiwi immigrants working over there

*shaking head*

Good luck with the move, Montresor.
We will wait.
Impatiently...
But we will wait.

Thanks to Halal for jogging my memory on this issue:

Players may wish to submit to me in their next turns (NOT in PM), their standing guide to how their forces should react when encountering other NPC or PC forces. Borders are close now, and direct encounters are likely (some may even have happened this turn). If I have no directives as to how your forces will act, I will simply make a die roll.

Keep in mind that, no matter what is ordered, there are always variables which can produce an undesireable result.

I will take any directive given to me about interactions as set in stone until further notice.

IMPORTANT

Could all players please PM me their email addresses, so I can send turn reports tomorrow morning? I am without net access at home until well into the next week, so I do not have your email addresses with me.

Halal and Lore are excluded from this, as I know both of these addresses off the top of my head.

EDIT - all but one player's turn processed. Someone had truly amazing population growth, and someone had truly woeful population growth. One or two had barely enough to feed their populations (before growth), and a couple players seem to be performing fairly solidly in all resources. That said, it's still a surprisingly well-balanced mix. Some players have some very impressive technologies; one player has a potentially astounding military; others have more people in their community than they not what to do with; and some have an abundance of rare resources yet little to spend them on; all are with strengths and weaknesses, and noone stands forth as a clear leader as yet.

Turn results have been sent. Please do not under any circumstances reply or send emails to the address I have sent the reports from.

OMGs, OMGs, OMGs...

I knew two good turns in a row was so not happening...

Now to make sense out of all of this.

The story is awesome again. But, I definitely smell trouble abrewin'...

TURN NINE orders due Friday the 14th.

Remember - in order to better avoid mishaps and infelicities of armed-expression, please submit in your orders a brief guideline as to how your forces will react to others if encountered in the waste. Thanks.

Due to the vagaries of telecommunications companies, the updated map will likely be posted after next Wednesday.

*drops head in hands*

...oy...

*sorry for the double post*

Montresor, with the guidelines to faction interaction as part of my upcoming Orders, this turn's submittal is a tick long. Nothing like my Pantheon submittals, but longer than I have sent you in the past.

Do you still want the Orders pasted into the body of the email, or shall I send them as a Word document attachment?

Either or.

Coolness...
Unless the Sisters are going to hear again from the RU, I'm pretty sure I'm ready to send my Orders in.

New ORDER and organisation type added to the rules:

FORM BRIGADE: elements or companies ordered to join a brigade form part of a large concentration of units. A brigade may have up to ten elements, and one Command unit. Brigades can only be formed with military units, though any kind of Command unit may lead it. Brigades are complex units and require an entire week to organise. An element or company forming a brigade may do nothing else that turn but issue a FORM BRIGADE order. Leaving a brigade costs no orders. Companies which join a brigade may keep their structure (i.e., still remain in a company) though they cannot act as a company individually while still in a brigade.

Orders due tomorrow night. Latecomers will be shot.

Just double checking...
We're mine received, Montresor?
I sent them about 25 hours ago...

All but one player's turns have been calculated. All reports shall be released tonight.

An interesting turn. Some of my personal favourite locations discovered. A near elimination for one detachment of a player's forces, and something very dangerous encountered. Surprisingly, everyone did well for scrounging this turn.
