ROLL CALL!

[Fatebringer]

I'm thinking some of that will be answered when we get our new faction sheets. But I do think it's a good idea to get a list of what factions still exist as we have been led to believe that some might be gone by previous non-gm posts.

[Deathrider6]

What is with projects that were started before the great Jump?

Are they counted as finished or would they have to be paid as usual?


Also, I would ask, but this could be redundant, what canonically dead factions would do with the TRO stuff (nevermind that the CIH already got several designs from '85 and some question is still unanswered by you, *hint-hint* ) We will see, when I look into it, what the options are.

Projects started are considered complete IF they were on your t46 orders that was factored into your point total given.

There are several factions in cold storage so to speak...they will possibly be made available once we get warm bodies. They are CBS,The Marians, The Hansa, Nueva Castille. The hansa and Nueva Castille are new. No map or HI data will be shown until a NEW player takes them over.

Niops is gone (Taken by CNC after they merged with the SL). The Wolves joined the SLDF some elements have broken away and joined either the Dragoons or returned to Arc-Royal.

The SLDF is currently under GM management (unless they get a FULL TIME player).


The TH has gone through an internal adjustment of signifcance and is GM ONLY. There is a large splinter group (WOB) running loose.

[Deathrider6]

Regarding the previous post. Factions in cold storage are not open to a player who already has an existing faction and have limited immunity to removal to allow for new players to take them and join the game, the SLDF is available for play if there is a dedicated full time player willing to deal with the legwork involved when dealing with multiple faction's units that have been seconded as well as facilities scattered across the IS.


While this does limit to a point what players can do it also increases the likelyhood that factions with player currently running will interact rather than isolate themselves out in the middle of nowhere.

For Clan players the blood are still out there just not necessarily on Terra they can possibly turn up anywhere. For IS player the removal of the Clan threat is still a vaild objective the Clans still want a new star league under their banner as well but the question to all of you is how do you accomplish these objectives? Use of force or diplomacy? The Choice is yours..

Oh, you know where we're going with that one

I know we had set projects in the works for after that turn, listed in the write up. These were key mandatory points to our acquisition of New Caledonia. I'm thinking there should be enough RP and Build points to ensure that this happens, but if not, I'll have to appologize to the Hellion player and continue to finish them up as soon as we can.

I will not be returning to the game.  However, I would like to be a part of the transition for these characters and actions of the Wolves/WiE/SLDF/Niopsians.  IE:

1 - WiE going back to Arc Royal would require something serious happening, given the treatment by previous leaders towards the WiE.
2 - Alaric Kell is still kicking and as a Kell and Kerensky descendent...Well, who KNOWS what kind of trouble that could make. 
3 - I don't want the SL/SLDF just get written off essentially.

Question on resource points...

a.  can they be used for exploration missions to establish member worlds?  I ask this, because a number of my recent posts, especially in regards the Horses Alliance, specifically mentions re-colonizing a lot of the old OWA worlds that were abandoned during the Succession Wars.

Thanks.

 

Okay Folks data for the next turn got delayed a bit but here's the deal...Your time jump RP data will be going out this week (early) what your fation gets is NOT tradeable in any way shape or form. The package will be based off of your t46 assets. It will contain the following:

X:Resource points
10 design picks (5 from 3075 and 5 from 3085) these must be faction appropriate.
5 Tokens good for hex improvements


The RP totals will be given via PM and are NOT to be discussed among players. I would have had these out yesterday but real life intervened once again. If you have questions regarding your design picks plese PM your choices to me for assistance.

[Fatebringer]

Okay now for the really important part. To recieve you RP package for the 20 year jump please send me a PM with the subject line "20 year RP Package-prestart (faction Name Here)". This must be done for EACH faction you control. I will respond with the RP total you get to spend pre turn.

  You will be submitting 2 (two) orders sheets this turn one is a prestart to show where all your package points and  the 5 tokens went and then you will submit a regular sheet as per normal. NO exceptions. the prestart sheets will be due May 15th and the regular turn sheets will be due May 22nd. The turn will run through June 30th so we can get back on the standard schedule. The Combat Phase of the turn will last until June 12th the extra time will be for role play and clean up.

The 3091 boards will be open for posting as of May 7th for Pre-start RP.

Maybe this should get it's own thread. I'm still waiting on the RP Package and to get a glimpse of the new map so I know what we need to upgrade.

what Fate said

[Marlin]

I was about asking for the new map as well. There is likely stuff to change and such and for some factions it has serious impact on the next step.

[Marlin]

The prestart Sheets, are they called Turn 48 sheets?

The real ones as well, of course. Or do you want a total new beginning?

Edit: And the Package, are we limited to spend the stuff only if it was one turn to do that or can we assume some years for this? (aka infrastructure capability times some years compared to the usual way of turn by turn as in the turns before the jump)

[Deathrider6]

The sheets are just labeled prestart the second sheet will be labeld turn 1(47).

 As for exploration rolls if you want to spend prestart points that is fine. I will have to roll them out and send you results of course before you turn sheet goes in.

 If you are planning to buy WARSHIPS from other factions you need to bank their cost and indicate in a note on the sheet so I can clear any purchases. This is just due to time constraints since I know that it takes time to get these deals set. If you decide to make such purchases They will appear on the turn 1 sheet live. This is a one time mechanic. Purchases will resolve normally once the game restarts. THis will allow me to see where the money goes.


For example: Note: 200RP to FWL for 1 Black Lion (Full droppers and fighters).

what about those of us that did explorations as part of T46? itd be very useful to know if we have new worlds that need to be upgraded

If you did not get a PM then you found nothing...with the craziness of the last month I forgot to send PM's telling you that you found nothing. My apologies.
