(You made a pretty good argument, so I'll say you can shoot through walls to hit my units once. Just do it within the next 48hrs.)

(You made a pretty good argument, so I'll say you can shoot through walls to hit my units once. Just do it within the next 48hrs.)

Thanks. I already shot one of your units through a wall by accident a couple of turns ago, so will leave it at that.

I was taking that into account. Up to you.


Proposal

Spoiler: Liftoff (click to show/hide)

After agreeing, no new units can be made, and players have 48 hours to evacuate their units out of airlocks. You may delete them if they could move onto one. Add them to a list.
Once time expires, or all units are evacuated, the next player may choose 1 door on the new map:



Place all your evacuated units near your door, moving out in a path that's not blocked by any barriers(even if you have Engineers). No additional turns can be taken until all players arrive.

Then new units can be made again.


Note: This keeps the current rules, for now. It could eventually be a middle-step to Q's 'Breakout' proposal, but no unit changes are present yet.

As with battalion, customized unit appearance will be allowed. As are temporary weapon effects, like Quarque inferred even though technically only the doodle space was expressly permitted. _{Luckily I don't have a rules fetish, and embraced it with open arms. (I'll reuse that flame sprite for if I ever get the opportunity.)}

To aid this end, you all have a personal team pallet, and even private doodle pad for storing effects, or just doodles. And of course, the middle-space is communal.


Ready for space?...

[RoseHeart]

If liftoff passes, I've asked Q to make a new thread after the evacuation, called My Space Platoon. I think Quarque will be a good fit for Editor/loophole blaster...

[Quarque]

About Space Platoon, I´m neutral about this, though I think the map needs a teleporter to make it more fun, to have a little interaction between the East and West side of the map. Something like this:

The idea is that you can move a unit standing on tile A directly onto tile B and vice versa through the teleporters.

[Quarque]

Thinking about it again, I'd actually slightly prefer to start Space Platoon as a parallel thread and have everyone start from scratch, without transporting existing units.. if everyone else wants to transport their current units I'll going along with it.

Also, I think this would be an even better map. Putting the teleporters in the center for lots of interaction, with the armories in somewhat harder to reach locations..

[King Zultan]

If we start a new round I say we start with nothing to make it more fare. Also a new thread might be needed for that.

[Quarque]

[RoseHeart]

I'll be flexible, but a smooth transition would be more fun imo. I know Z has spoken, but the alternative is to invent some other win mechanic, and again, I think it would be fun.

Nice map, it's fine with me.

Speaking for myself, I don't have time or patience to participate in two versions, and since I am enforcing the rules I'd need to choose this one.

This is an interesting situation, where an airlock exit is blocked by a hostile unit. I've been wondering what happens in a case like this, is yellow allowed to spawn a new engineer from the southern airlock or not?

[RoseHeart]

Not.

*Engineer made before FB torched my own airlock.






Ok guys, I really want move to the next game, so either way lets all agree to the evacuation minigame. If units dont carry over then they can be worth points:
50pt = Engineer
75pt = Soldier
100pt = Firebat

Engineers don't need to visit an armory, and soldiers reward multiples and have more movement perks than fbats. Hense the scoring.

Once all agree, units can still be converted, but no new units can be made (we'll say it's ok on your first turn of the evac only.)

players have 48 hours to evacuate their units out of airlocks. You may delete them if they could move onto one. Add them to a list.
Once time expires, or all units are evacuated, the game ends!

I urge you not to reject this outright, as this my 3rd try
trying to end this battle, so offer an alternative instead of rejecting it.

Proposal: Begin Evacuation!

(If Liftoff II* gets full support, then we do that instead. *Quarque map edit.)
