Is the military composed of the units presented in our background? And is the army a permanent standing army?

Also, what does SK mean?

Yes; the "percentages" you gave me is your army composition.

The army is a permanent army. All the men represent career soldiers.

SK means skill. Your max through training is 5 (6 for playergamer), but it can be higher or lower. You want higher; it will increase your chances of winning battles.

Almost finished your turns, folks?

[thefik21]

I've finished my turn. I'd like to apologize though... I have thirteen actions.

Are you gonna do the turns if some people don't post in time?

[DontBanTheMan]

Eh, this game kind of requires full player participation. I need to wait until either everybody posts, or my patience grows too thin and I replace them with someone else.

EDIT: If you let me know BEFOREHAND that you can't post for awhile, I'll automate your nation. In no other circumstance, however.

Thing is, the point economy means that we can't sustain that for too long without imploding, so it's fortunate for our GM that it can't be a regular thing.  I had at least 13 orders on Turn 2, too, depending on how you count the embassy reports, and my power point reserves tanked hard. ^_^

Yeah. I've played a nation RTD with DBTM before. I actually gave him the idea for economic size. You always have a lot of cushion in the beginning. Know that the numbers he gave us to start with are actually quite a bit. At least for me they are. I'm a spendy dude. Just as long as your not negative, you're okay.

~ GM ANNOUNCEMENT ~

Going to announce this right now; if you want to set up diplomatic relations with someone publicly/so it has a mechanical effect, you are to say who and what. Simply saying "Embassies to people too." will not cut it; I have to keep track of nine of you, and my notes are simply not expansive enough to keep track of all this. If you want to set up an embassy, say "SET UP EMBASSY HERE, HERE, AND HERE." If you want to ALLOW someone's embassy (they asked or something), say "ALLOW BLANK'S EMBASSY". If you simply state "build embassy", there's like a 5% chance that I'll actually put it in the turn.

What is the effect of having an embassy in another nation? Since we are allowed to speak with eachother freely anyway.

[Culise]

Espionage, I'd assume.  Diplomats are basically state-authorized spies that both sides know about. 

Actually, come to think, it is a little odd that we're throwing around permanent embassies in the Bronze Age, but as it goes. ^_^

[Taricus]

They'd be terrible at espionage though, given that everyone would suspect them of harbouring spies

Nah, they're the distraction.  You have to watch them and the shenanigans they get up to, which draws resources from the spies you don't know about.  If you don't watch them, though, their own shenanigans go unchecked. 

Of course, like embassies, codified diplomatic immunity also didn't exist yet, so they can't really serve as a guaranteed safe house for any revealed agents yet...

[theyamikami]

Merry Christmas everybody

[DontBanTheMan]

Alright, I've returned from vacation and will begin working on the turn. Hope to get it up within a week.

[Evil Marahadja]

But we are still waiting for Knave to post his/her turn, right?

[DontBanTheMan]

New turn is up. As always, let me know if I made any mistakes or if you have any questions.
