Oh, that is ok then. I see you actually wrote it in there, so it was my mistake with fly-reading again. Stuff is hectic when you miss one day on the forum suddenly.

No worries - If you or anyone else is unclear on what I said, please let me know.  I much rather clarify something then have people make bad assumptions or mistakes.   My first goal is to make this game fun for those playing. 

Also - Hope all have a good weekend.

Those look like interesting systems, and no problems occur to me.  :)

Just as a note- I will be away from the computer with Aurora for about 24 hours.   I will respond when I get back.

Weekend Update

General stuff

- Good to see players working hard to get their internal organization planned.   
- We are still on schedule.  I might send the offical packets out Monday or Tuesday as players have a lot of choices to make.

Reminders!

-If factories or shipyards are without orders, they will be inactive.
-Research labs that are unused will be given a Admin choice on what to research (so it doesn't stop the auto turns).  If the admin has to choose what you research, more useless the better.  :P
-The turn will go until Auto turns stops due to one of the teams events happening, then everyone will be updated.    So plan your orders accordingly.   So if you want to make a PR blast for being to Luna, make sure your you tell me that the task force at Luna ends it orders at Luna so the auto-turn stops.
-If you want to stop on a set date, let me know, and I will do my best to make it happen.  I cannot promise that it will happen due to to how Aurora runs.

Game Notes

-Early turns might last a few months as people are researching and do not have any units to do stuff.
-If we are close to the end of the year and I think the next turn will go into the next year, I may go ahead and do the end of year off screen checks.  Or I may stop it at Jan 1, or I might let it go to Jan 10th.   I will need some flexibility on that.   
- I am the admin, but Aurora gives you a lot of freedom.  If teams ask me to do something in game, I might have to ask the team how it done in Aurora.    I can promise that I will be a fair referee and work hard to make this a fun game for all.  I cannot promise that I know every way to play Aurora.  I will make test games to test stuff to make sure I understand what you are asking me to do.
- I do ask that teams be reasonable in Admin requests and be considerate of other players.   If your idea requires in a non-combat role a stoppage every game-day to tweak something, consider giving me standing orders.   
-Feel free to rename officers or military units

Janes Information Service

- I am keeping information filed with information filed as Public, FSA Intel, and Admin information.  I am doing this so  I am sure I am making FSA choices based solely on information that is public and/or FSA intel. Since I had a public file, I felt it would help the game if we had it online so that everyone can see it and it can be a reference to all.  I hope it is useful.   I do ask that people submit information in the the other thread so that the main thread can remain uncluttered.     

Grammar/typos/Clarity

I was never a English major.   I will make errors in my writing.  I am sure that errors exist in this post.   Feel free to ask for clarification if I post something that is not understandable.

Teams, I am still having some players trickle in, and I am sure we will have more players come in as we play.

Each team will get one more player, as we have two that have asked to join.    I will assume unless told otherwise that teams are open to having new players. (And new players will have to understand that many choice roles for RP roles might be already taken).   If both teams close off to new players I will start a waiting list.

New players, check to see if you can see your forums.


Also, hope all is well.  As soon as the orders are in I will process the first turn.

I'm not quite sure as to where I am supposed to say that I would like to join on the Ruskie's side, so I'm putting it here.  Just want to make sure that this name is open Kutzenov Sergetov

I've not been following the thread. So I don't know if any new players have joined or not. Best bet is to have Drgong send me a message and let me know. Or tag me with @Erik Luken in the message (btw, this works for anyone).

// Seriously though, even Zook who came late and was very active too, will only officially join after today's first turn, so next week. We will get you a seat. :)

Darn it, I was really hoping to be in the first turn,  I guess I must wait, unless I misunderstood something(I haven't slept in 2 days)
