In the morning I will PM each of the teams screenshots from their empires.
By the 4/13 (1 week from today or 6 days from today, depending on timezone) I would like if the teams have figured out their own organization, figured out background material, decided on any special rules such as Espionage.
And which point the game will start on 4/13. We will aim for at least 1 time a week on Wednesday/Thursday for me to run a turn.
That means I am hoping and asking all the teams to submit the research orders. manufacturing orders, training orders, and so on by 4/20. If the teams give staggered orders (Such as research X, then research Y) the turn will last longer.
In addition, I may stop it if something important happens (Like a launching of a ship, or if a team says for example "Stop the game when the ship reaches Io, and then broadcast this message" for RP reasons.
-
Happy weekend to all.
5 days till orders are due.
-
North American Union turn has been submitted.
As soon as the Russian Confederation turn is submitted I will run turn 1.
-
One more proof that democracy trumps whatever the Ruskies have.
-
Even though we aren't democrats, I can bet you that we are better at this democracy thing than you are. ;)
-
36 hours till turn one.
(Yes, I am a stickler for deadlines. :) )
-
Don't worry we will keep the deadline.
-
I have at least tentative orders from both teams. Will be run late tonight or in the morning.
:D Thanks for meeting deadlines!
-
Turn 2 is due by 5pm Wednesday the 27th
At this time Both NAU and RUS have valid orders. But I would need the teams to confirm to move on for a early submit.
-
Both teams are almost completed with making their turns, but out of habit.
50 hours or so till turns are due ;)
-
Hey, we actually finalized our orders yesterday already. They have been updated into the "[...] 21.4.2100)" named thread.
-
Update
Russia orders are in
NAU orders are well on their way for approval. As soon as the NAU orders are offical, I can run the turn.
-
NAU orders were endorsed by Congress. Ready for Turn 2.

Thank you - will be running it right after lunch.

Just as a note, turn end was on June 17th, 2100.
-
Next turns are due April 4th.
Both teams have valid orders. If submitted early I will run it early.
-
I think you mean May 4th... well May the 4th be with you...

Yes, that was the Droids day I was looking for.
-
NAU orders for Turn 3 were endorsed by Congress this morning.

NAU orders for Turn 3 were endorsed by Congress this morning.
Thank you Red Dot.
Both teams have submitted. I will run later today. Thank you once again for being so prompt.
In addition, It is nice to see that the orders are showing a lot of thought. Even if the turn has a interrupt both teams have good standing orders so I suspect that we can if the players wish turn a additional turn quickly.
-
Turn 3 has run. Producing Turn 4 items for the team. Turn is now July 7, 2100.
-
May the 4th be with you all.
Turn 5 is due 5/11/16, but I think if the teams try we can get turn 5 in by the 8th.
-
Russia has submitted it turn. NAU is well on the way to submit.
Thanks everyone.
-
The NAU Congress has approved the Turn 4 orders. Please proceed at your discretion.

I will run the turn in a hour or two when I get some time.

I must say, I'm quite impressed at the efficiency with which you're running this Drgong.

I know that the easiest ways for a game like this to die is not having prompt service by the admin.
I try to check every 24 hours and let everyone know when I will be away from the computer.
That said - Visiting family Saturday the 7th. So I will not be around except perhaps in the early morning.
-
Turn 5 is complete, we moved to July 27, 2100.
-
Next turn due Wednesday the 11th at 5pm EST.
-
Both Teams orders seem to be good. Awaiting final approval internally by the team(s).
-
Turn 6 is completed.
Will be posting files soon.
-
Happy Weekend to all.
Russia orders are in.
NAU orders are well on their way to being complete.
As soon as they are in, I can run the next turn.
-
Looks like I will be able to run a turn early - Looks like after 12:00 noon I will be able to run the turn.
Edit: I might be able to run it later today but it most likely will be tomorrow.
-
Turn 7(a) is in. - with a launch of the first Hathor Mk-1.
Two notes:
I am not going to do a full data dump at the moment - Russia asked for a 24 hour hold to make sure it wasn't something worth stopping over full time. So I will dump the log and the Data on the rocket. If russia says continue or nothing for 24 hours, I will continue to a full stop. If russia asks for a full stop on seeing the data or log, I will do a full data dump.
I also made a save before launching, just in case I screwed up on setting the waypoint for the launch.
-
Turn 7 is complete.
Turns are not due to the 25th!
but a lot of the teams might have stuff to make choices over.
-
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Just remember - turns are due Wednesday - also remember you lose a "Spy" point if you do not spend it.
-
Turns due in ... 26.5 hours. ;)
-
Had a small family emergency - but all is well.
Will run the turn shortly - but first will run the end of year stuff.
-
Turn 8 is complete.
-
As a note
I will be around, but not at the computer with the database though monday. Will be at a family gathering.
-
NAU orders for Turn 8 were endorsed by Congress.

Thanks - I will not be at the computer with the database till much later today or tomorrow.
-
NAU is in - Russia is well on their way but have 27 hours to submit.
-
So, how are we dealing with the fact that there is a strict game-time deadline? I'd be tempted to give a real-time deadline to correspond after which we start shooting, but when?

Wednesday at 5pm is end of turn.
I am willing to go 5 seconds run so that everyone can see the speed of my de Beer class probes so we do not stop after just a few seconds.
-
What, a full week? I should have said two hours, not twenty-four. It's going to get boring soon ^^

-
It time to get your orders in...
-
Our orders are in.
-
Our orders are in.
Indeed - waiting on Russia's orders.
-
Posted our orders.
-
I was just thinking: I'm sure you've got some kind of "interrupt turn upon ship launch" thing (We do)
Can we make an agreement in some case? Like, we announce the launch (including detectable characteristics if new class) in advance, so we don't have to stop? Make it some kind of more regular deal.

As a Admin I am fine with that.
turn will be run in the morning or lunch.
Update: Been a busy morning. Will post today - even if it later.
-
Edit: Noticed a error on how I carried out the orders- reverting to backup and correcting.
Awaiting clarification on one teams orders.
Turn 12 is now run.
-
NAU orders are ready.
-
I will be on early in the day and then late in the day/Thursday just so all know when the turn is going to run. Hopefully this will be a nice long run.
-
Russia is putting the final touches on their turn, but since I will be out of town for most of today, the deadline is Thursday, noon, EST
-
Final touch is done.
-
Turn 13 forced to repeat due to errors ::) in Aurora
-
Turn 13 now complete.

We are now January 25, 2102!! :o
Happy New years folks.
I will be updating later as I have to make end of year rolls and do the update, which will be big.
Note: Updated text updates, screenshots will have to wait till the evening.
-
Screenshots are up.
Since I was late, while I would prefer everything in my Wednesday or sooner, deadline is Thursday at noon for turn 15.
-
Just as a note - Thursday at noon is the deadline. Though you might have a little more time if I can't run it at noon.
-
Orders for the NAU are in, unless a bunch of players suddenly become active and wants to change them.
-
okay, everyone has orders in, teams may have question on clarifications.
I will also annouce the FSA will be launching a cargo vessel around Feb 1, and from what I understand, if a civvy class is launched pre-announced teams are okay with the turn proceeding.
-
Turn 15 has run, I have updated, will post screenshots later.
Next turn due Wednesday 5pm
-
Apologies about the screen-caps being delayed.
I have quite a few dear friends who live in Nice. I had to make sure they were all okay. Thankfully, they all are.
-
Good to hear, I had a few stressful minutes checking on friends this morning too. Thanks god my friends aren't patriotic at all and wouldn't attend a National holiday celebration.
-
NAU Orders are endorsed.
-
Okay, will be running the turn shortly. lost hours with the car issues, but should be fixed now.
-
Turn 16 has been run.
May 1st, 2102
-
Russia - Turns due in about 24 hours.
-
Turns due in 3 1/2 hours.
Things to note
Tech trading
- The FSA will no longer be tech trading barring "Emergency/roleplay" and that will be rare. I will only trade if the NAU-RUS trade, and then it will be a equal points.
- The FSA has traded in the past with both the NAU and RUS. It would be unfair to not trade a equal amount before shutting the door. The FSA-RUS still can do 1,000 RP of trading.
At the start of the next turn everyone gets five more Research labs to increase the speed of research since trading will now be rare.
European Union
- I set up the EU set up.
-They have 500 million population, shipyards, 20 missile bases, and will have 5 less research labs then everyone. They start only with the tech that the "Hand me down" from other nations. Thus they are well behind everyone.
- you can donate ships and Research to the EU for bonus for the Emigration out of the EU.
- EU at the end of the year will get 22 million when Turkey joins it.
- The EU will be behind everyone most likely but there activity will depend on the politics, which will be totally random.
COMBAT!!!
- There may be battles in the future, as warned, I am setting something up that might give a little more excitement to this game.
- to speed up battles, I do ask that the combat orders give the admin the idea of tactics, and then I will run the combat
- If something unexpected happens, or a key system is damage/knocked out (Engine, FC, Weapon, Sensor) I will be referring to the team
- if combat does happen I will expect that the teams give me quick turn arounds on the actual combat tactics.
- if other teams can see the impacts/battles, they will be notified. If it in the Sol system, it will be "Public" such as "There is a battle near Neptune, civilian sensors are indicating impacts...
- Combat will be handled by sub turns. I will expect 24 hour turn around for tactics.
-
Deadline up, will run turn as best I can.
-
Turn 17 i in the books.
18th of June, 2102.
Will have dinner served soon, so will do the full update and setup when I return. but basic info has been posted.
-
Just a reminder to get your orders in. :)
Wednesday at 5pm. By noon would be better, Tuesday better yet.
-
Okay, hopefully we can have a nice long turn, but I had to work though lunch. It will be this evening when I run it. Sorry for the delay.
-
No problem, thanks for the awesome game.
-
Turn 18 is complete. 7th September, 2102.
-
Stop teasing and give us screens ;)
-
Stop teasing and give us screens ;)
Working on it! Takes a while to do the notes since there is fleets moving around.
-
I am going to work on the logs to make them a little shorter, they are starting to get very cluttered.
-
Will give everyone 24 hours to finalize orders.
-
There is a order clarification that needs to be made, so I will wait till the morning so that we can give the chance to clarify the order so we can have a longer turn.
-
Just as a note, been running turn 19 for two hours. Just takes time with all the orders.
-
Dangit to hell, I got to december 23 when I missed something in the log and screwed up a order.
So gonna have to rerun things.
-
Is it that bad? I don't think there is anything in our orders at least that would be that important, or cannot be fixed by SM.
-
Just screw up a research order and had idle labs, first time I make good, 2nd time I restart.
We have moved to December 17th 2102.
-
Looks like everyone orders are near ready.
I will give everyone till tomorrow sometime after noon EST to make any last moment changes.
-
Okay, I am going to start processing the turn, but at about 4:15 I have to go for a few hours. And since this is a end of year stuff It might take a while.
-
I in the middle of a turn. need to do some real life jobs before I finish it up, but the Russian federation will have a message that once answered will let the turn continue.
-
Turn 20 is ready.
reason for stop. COMBAT!!! :o :o :o :o
Just as a note - I want to do a 5 second move before doing the full turn, but I will give the side facing combat a chance to at least make a last moment order if they wish.
-
O vey.
Are we involved?
-
You shall see.
-
Do the teams think they can get a turn in by Wednesday at 5?
-
Think so, the politburo is planning a session for looking over orders today unless something unexpected comes up.
-
Thanks for getting orders in. Hopefully I can run a turn today. 8)
-
Turn 21 is complete
23 March, 2103
Reason for stop
The Destruction of the VSS Mahmoud Kaveh by the Red Duncanite ship the Demogorgon. ??? :-[
-
Just as a note, the next turn will be short (say, 4 days) due to combat.
Lets see if we can get turns in to me by Wednesday at 5pm EST.
-
Has not been much activity in Russia the past few days, but we should make the deadline tomorrow.
-
March 26 is the end of the turn.
The Red Duncanite ship is Destroyed near Titan.
I will update later as something is wrong with my internet, having very slow connection speeds.
-
Just as a note - power is out at my place (Storms)
Expect power back tomorrow. Will post thumbs then. (On cell)

Power and internet fully restored. :)
-
Running the turn later today as soon as I have a few moments to spare.

-
Sorry about it man, smeg happens.
No worries, just need more Garrison units to lower unrest levels to 0.0 ;)
-
No problems, do it when you have the time. I will be travelling to the UK next week, but should have time to check in on what happens in Russia from time to time.
-
Running turn.
Next turn due by say, tursday 5pm?
-
Turn complete, though I will update everyone tomorrow. As I got called into work yet again.
However, I did get the game to go to all the way to the end of the year (December 27th) so we will have a end of year turn for turn 24...
-
Screenshots uploaded - but guess who got called into work on a Sunday, even if they promised never to work me on a sunday. :-\
Will finish the turn information tonight when I get back.
-
Since this turn has been a mess, and it end of year turn, Turn 25 will be due October 5th at 5pm EST
-
I will be away from the database for the rest of today and most of tomarrow.
Monday I am going to do a big update to Janes and other stuff as well.
-
Working on the update - might be tomorrow when it is posted.
-
Updated the UN registry - Make sure your turns are ready, including end of year stuff.
-
Waiting for one side turn, will give another 24 hours or so....
-
Nature hates me. Should have power back in a few hours, when that happens, I am running the turn.
-

Turn end on January 17th, new wreck as Red Duncanite mines strike again.
-
Turn 25 up.
Will post screenshots later tonight or first thing in the morning.
Next turn is due October 14, 5pm EST.
-
I am going to have to check in....as no one posted turns and it been a week and a half. :(
-
Was planning to do it yesterday but had a crisis at work. Will try to do it today.
-
Our turn is ready to run since some time now. But no stress, if we are waiting for the NAU we will use the time for some extra polishing & planning until next turn.
-
I think as far as the NAU is concerned, current standing orders can be maintained.
-
I was away all weekend and forgot to post it on the schedule. I will Run it on Wednesday so we can get back to our normal schedule.
-
Turn 26 is in the books. I decided to stop it since there a fair bit of stuff that happened.
-
Turn 26 is up. Both sides have stuff to look over.
-
Waiting for a NAU turn. If I don't get one by tomorrow I will do my "Best guess"
-
When I get home I am going to do best guess unless I get a order.
-
Hi,
I am going to be out of town till sunday. Still waiting for the NAU turn. Monday morning I am running the turn, even if NAU has not turned in a turn.
-
NuclearStudent did you get the orders in or are we still waiting for the NAU? Not that I want to stress you, or in a way I do since I want the game to move forward :) but I understand people can be busy with other things as well.
-
Nuclear student did, I have been busy as crap!
-
Was starting to suspect that. But as long as you are not in a flood or hurricane or whatever this time it's all good ;D
-
I have a huge job interview in the morning. Sorry I been away, been prepping for it.
That said, when I return from it I will relax and run the turn.
-
All good, take your time.
-
All good, take your time.
I will be updating a lot of stuff in the next day or two, and then plan to run the turn sunday night or monday morning.
Expect some RPG stuff and I am updating a lot of the background material that i keep tabs on.
-
Starting Turn 27
-
Turn 27 is finally in the books!
Uploaded mineral and screenshots. will post more later, but I have to go get a car inspected before the inspection places closes.
-
Orders due on the 7th.
-
We are practically good to go whenever but will keep polishing our 5-year plan until then.
-
Team orders are ready now. I will be updating Janes later today, and then once that project is complete, I will run the turn.
-
This is my plan.
Friday I will run the game. I will post in a public thread the EU feed as part of the new feed for everyone. Please let me know of any special tactics you want your respective fleets to carry out.
-
Battle is over, I will give a full reports to the teams on monday (have to go out of town for about 36 hours) and everyone can figure out what to do next.
-
Okay, I will be trying to get the reports to the teams tonight or the 14th.
-
Nice, looking forward to it ;D
-
Any status update on the game?
-
Sorry I been away for so long.
Due to some health and work related issues, I am not sure I have the ability to run this game anymore.
I am so sorry, and also sorry for the delay in getting to everyone.
-
Sorry to hear about that, always ups and downs in life. Just to let you know I had a lot of fun with this game while it lasted so I'm happy we did it.
When we officially decide to end it I will try to do some kind of summary, at least from the russian side.
-
Don't sweat it Drgong, you did a great job running the game. It was indeed a lot of fun even considering we barely even got around to leaving Sol, so maybe later on we could work out a sequel of some kind once people start getting more time.
Let me know if you wanted me to help out with anything Bughunter.
-
I will wait until we get definite word that the game is over. But yes, would appreciate your input as usual so let's do it in our team forum when the time comes.
-
Okay guys - I been able to solve the issues at hand both heath and work.
I know we been out of commission for too long. I know Russia might still want to play, but is anyone in the NAU still willing to play.
If not, I think it might be good to do a summary, and then thing long term (in a few months) for another game, I learned a lot on how to run it as well.
-
Good to hear. Bughunter and I can definitely help with the summary on our end, but there's still hope there may be continuation!
Just a note on my availability though, I'm on break for another week, but after that I'll have less and less time to do stuff. There be exams impending.

Well lets see if NAU still has players who want to play, otherwise I will say lets work on summaries.
Lets say wait till sunday to see in a NAU player says aye on continuing, otherwise we will wrap up the game with the defeat of the Red Duncanite threat...
