I should probably join King Richards' Engineers, but I read the Dunwich thread before I knew what was going on. I suppose I'll hail King Richards and just refrain from posting until next round.

At this rate, it's probably a good idea to wait.


In moderately belated news, the Atterton Monarchy has had its flag designed:



It and the then official flag of the British have been added to the original post of their threads.

[TopHat]

PTW, though I haven't decided which country to join yet.

[Aseaheru]

So, who are the sods holding us all back?

So, who are the sods holding us all back?

Probably me.  I'm not certain if a portion of the players are being silent in some threads because they agree with a suggested action, or haven't been able to see it yet to give their opinion.

[Aseaheru]

 Perhaps put a poll each asking people if they have read the stuff, and if they agree with the currently leading action? You would have to make it multiple choice now if you want it to be later, due to the friggin poll system, but it would be better than nothing.

[Kashyyk]

Sounds like a bit too much effort on Zanz's behalf, but I'm not even sure if you can change a regular topic to a poll in the first place

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

You can add a poll to any topic easily, but the main problem with a poll is that things can change.  I'm generally on a 1 day system, and that's roughly been the progression rate between phases.  Adds up to having the turn coming out in a little under a week.  Not that bad of an update speed, in my opinion.

You really should combine voting for production and spying. They don't influence each other like design\revision

I'll think about it.


A minor note about the theft of technology, you need to specify a specific technology, or go after the design or revision that was made if going after the newest tech.  The same would apply to any other actions (ex. sabotage).

[Sheb]

But how can we know what's the latest tech is?

[Graknorke]

I imagine the point is that we can't.

[10ebbor10]

Yup, hence we need to specify wherether we steal the design or the revision.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Added a minor note to the Focus Phase, that I will put here as well.  Each nation has two actions that they can take, both able to be used on either an offensive or defensive action.  Offensive is generally targeting a city or an enemy navy, and defensive is generally fortifying a city.  You may choose to build a fort, specifying it on the map, for a defensive bonus to friendly forces and to limit enemy movement on land (example: One city has been captured by an enemy force.  If you own a fort between that city and another, then the enemy has to go through that fort before they can move onto the next city.).  Each nation may build a maximum of three forts.  Built forts include those captured by the enemy.  This number may be increased at a later date.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

A couple of messages.  First, where are all the Dunwich engineers?  As soon as things are clarified, I can move you onto the Focus stage, but no one's show up yet.  I would have one put up due to the one day limit, but, from what I can tell, the plans are tied.

Second, need to mention the method of how the war will play out.  Between two locations there are between 2 and 6 control points, depending upon the distance between locations.  The cities have three control points that all need to be held to have the city belong to you.  The forts have a single point of control, but provide a bonus to those who are defending the fortress.  The open seas have seven control points, with four required to make a journey across without fear of attack.  Current division is down the middle in currently contested areas on land, with the sea being divided on the scale of 3 Pirate, 2 Loyalist, 1 Atterton, and 1 Dunwich.  Loyalists have one higher than the rest as a representation of having gained sole ownership of the most productive fishing areas in the backstory.

If I jump in now which faction I should be in?
