Autarch, I have heard nothing from Nakoma. With the place where my last results left off, is Serenity then trapped in Crown unless I spend my DP to relocate? I had hoped for discussion between Nakoma and Serenity before deadline, but at this point it looks like that isn't going to happen...

Well, considering I only have two submissions in, let's push the deadline back a few days. So, the 6th by midnight. If you don't know by then, let me know. I can process that weekend if everybody's results are in. If not... eh, probably time to pack it up anyway.

My thanks for the extension, Autarch. I will stay in touch regarding interaction or lack thereof, one way or the other.

Please note I had every intention of submitting today, so that would have been three-fifths of the active players submitting on time. Please do not judge interest in the game on the number of late turn submissions...

Yep.

Cool. I waited till the last minute, but I never like to submit when I don't have a real idea. Thanks for the extension. Excited for the next phase, now that most of us are getting closer to the second DSP

I'm about to hit the phantom 2nd DSP... my accumulated fractional DSP will give me a 2nd DSP next turn, but the turn after I'm back to one. It'll still be a little while before I'm consistently pulling two per turn.

I don't even think Serenity is at that level yet; but I am enjoying the world building and story aspect more than being concerned with gaining strength.

However, as the Autarch warned earlier, since I suspect Serenity may be dealing with an NPC clan, my gut is telling me I may soon regret not even attempting to power play...

from previous experience with the Autarch's NPCs, I know they can be viscious

Few players are. You'll all be alright for now, I think, though the observant may notice... no, I better not say. :mrgreen:

As I look over what's due next, I notice that I don't have my Turn 6 results. Is that actually the case, or did I just file it in the wrong email folder and now I can't find it?

I've been slacking. Work's kind of got me down. This weekend, I promise. I'll extend the next deadline.

I read what you posted elsewhere regarding work, Autarch.
Hang in there...

Thanks. Y'know... I could get turns out every weekday for a mere $35/player per result. Any takers?

I just turned off my $50/mo to the American Red Cross. And while you'd be cheaper, and more likely to directly cause me joy... don't think I can afford any more expenses like that.

Ask me in a year. Things will have changed by then.

That figure ends up being a bit over 700 a month, but if you can afford it...
